Going All Out
Francesca walked off, and Zachary was left all alone on the wooden bed. At the thought of the perilous
situation back home, he was worried sick. He could not wait to get back home right away.
Unfortunately, he was not able to move. Even the simple act of drinking his juice was an issue.
Francesca had placed the juice in a glass instead of a wooden bowl like the one that the wolf was
eating out of.
Zachary tried to lift his neck to drink the juice, but his neck was so stiff that he could not do it.
The only thing he could do at that moment was to engage the help of the old wolf sitting beside him.
The elderly wolf eyed him coldly. It was as if it was saying, “Go on. Beg me!”
Zachary frowned and gritted his teeth. “I am a powerful man, after all. In order to live, I don’t mind
bowing to Francesco. Now, you want me to beg a wolf as well? I would rather starve to death.”
With that, he resolutely turned his head away.
The old wolf strolled over slowly before sticking its tongue into the glass. It started to lick the juice and
even seemed to enjoy it.
“You!” Zachary was so furious. “You are as bad as your master!”
The animal seemed to understand his words. It looked up and bared its teeth at Zachary. It looked as if
it wanted to devour the human.
“Oh gosh…” Zachary immediately changed his tone. “No, no. I mean, you are just as adorable as your
master. Adorable!”
It was only then that the murderous look in the wolf’s eyes disappeared gradually. With a turn of its
head, it stalked away slowly.
Zachary looked at what little remained of the juice with contempt and wished that such miserable days
would be over soon.
He missed Charlotte and the children terribly and wanted to get back to them as soon as possible.
Charlotte fell asleep and had a nightmare. In it, she saw Robbie and Jamie being bullied by others.
She was heartbroken and instantly sent Gordon a message, hoping to get a response soon.
Gordon replied that the search was still ongoing.
Charlotte was very worried. She felt that she could no longer sit around and do nothing. The following
day, she intended to take a few subordinates with her to Yaleview.
As for now, she had to get ready to see Chris.
Perhaps, there might be some clues from his side.
At that thought, Charlotte got up and started to get ready. She even brought Hayley’s pills along with
her.
Just as she was about to leave the house, Lupine came up to her and asked, “Ms. Lindberg, where are
you going? I will go with you.”
“There’s no need for that.” Charlotte felt that it was best for her to go alone. If others were with her, it
might affect her plans.
“I don’t feel at ease if you go alone.” Lupine said worriedly, “What if something happens like the other
day?”
“Nothing happened the other day.” Charlotte smiled. “I’m fine now, aren’t I?”
“Peter was there to help you the other day. That was why your plan went smoothly. But, today…”
Lupine must have guessed that she wanted to go and see Chris that day. “That Chris is an a*shole! He
is an evil-hearted person and will definitely try to get fresh with you. If anything goes wrong this time…”
The more Lupine thought about it, the more worried she became. “If something untoward really
happens, how am I supposed to answer to Mr. Nacht?”
Looking at her anxious face, Charlotte said, “Why don’t we do this instead? You take two bodyguards
with you and wait for me near the hotel. If anything goes wrong, I will message you, and you will be
able to get to me in time.”
“All right. I will get going at once.”
Lupine immediately went to get the others ready.
Charlotte drove herself to Storm Hotel to meet Chris.
She was fully prepared to do anything to find out the whereabouts of Robbie and Jamie.
It was already the third day since the children had been kidnapped. She could not imagine the torture
they had to go through for the past three days.
She could not wait any longer.
