Chapter 1250Chapter 1250
It never crossed Zachary's mind that something like that would happen.
At that moment, Ben thought Zachary had lost it and was about to kill someone. However, the latter
managed to suppress his emotions in the end.
After they left the manor, Zachary shut himself in his room for a day and a night. Everyone was fearful
that something would happen to him.
However, when he walked out the next day, he was in a sea of calm.
And that was when he began to plot.
No one knew what his true objective was. They assumed he just wanted revenge on Louis and
Charlotte.
However, Ben was cognizant of what his real intention was.
“The children keep asking when you will be back?” Ben asked softly. “They want to contact Ms.
Lindberg, but I denied them according to your instructions. But, I don't think it's right for us to keep this
up.”
“All right,” Zachary interrupted. “I'll head downstairs after getting changed.”
“I'll have someone get the car ready.” Ben went off immediately.
Putting down his wine glass, Zachary prepared to go change. However, when he saw his phone on the
table, he hesitated for a while. Picking it up, he unblocked Charlotte's phone number.Back in the car, Charlotte was about to get out when her phone suddenly rang. When she saw that it
was Gordon, she answered at once, “Hello?”
“Ms. Lindberg.” Gordon's deep voice rang out. “I'm on my way to your location. Don't go with them. I'll
be there very soon.”
“No.” Charlotte stopped him. “Your responsibility now is to protect Danrique's three children. I will solve
my own problems myself.”
“But...”
“The Laurent family won't harm me.” Looking out the window, she replied softly, “The wedding is the
day after tomorrow. Everything will come to a head then. Therefore, you have to protect the children
these two days and wait for me at the villa.”
“All right. I understand.” Gordon had no choice but to withdraw.
After ending the call, Charlotte alighted from the car slowly. The Laurent family's men walked up and
bowed respectfully before remarking, “Ms. Lindberg, Lady Sherlyn has sent us to pick you up.”
Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebook“I had initially wanted to see her tomorrow.” Charlotte swept her gaze at the convoy. “But, she's just too
anxious!”
“Sir Louis misses you.” The butler smiled before ushering her forward. “This way please.”
Together with Lupine, Morgan, and two other subordinates, Charlotte got into the Laurent family's
vehicle.
At that moment, she had changed back to the clothes she wore earlier and had her hair adjusted
simply. Although her makeup had been washed off, she still look stunning without it.Even then, she looked visibly unkempt for the occasion when she arrived at the Laurent residence.
Charlotte and her subordinates were taken straight to Sherlyn's study.
Inside, Robert and Sherlyn were seated upright on the sofa. Both of them glared at Charlotte with
gloomy expressions.
Sherlyn, in particular, was staring daggers at her.
“Lady Sherlyn, here she is.” Leaving quietly, the butler closed the door behind him.
“The few of you, get out.” Sherlyn pointed at Lupine, Morgan, and the rest of Charlotte's subordinates.
“I'm sorry, Lady Sherlyn. We only take orders from Mr. Lindberg. Other than staying by Ms. Lindberg's
side to protect her, we won't be going anywhere,” Lupine replied defiantly with her head lowered.
“This is my home. Do you think you're still in Erihal?” Lady Sherlyn thundered. “Get out!”
“Lady Sherlyn, what's the meaning of this?” Feeling indignant that her subordinates were being bullied,
Charlotte snapped, “They are my personal bodyguards. No matter where they are, they only answer to
me and no one else.”
“Charlotte, after committing such an embarrassing act, how dare you behave with such insolence?”
Sherlyn admonished her angrily. “Don't you feel any shame or remorse at all?”
