“Silly girl! You’re family. You don’t have to thank me!”
Charlotte patted Olivia’s shoulder, and then she turned and left.
Staring at Charlotte’s disappearing back figure, Olivia displayed a complicated expression.
When Charlotte touched the doorknob and was about to leave, Olivia suddenly shouted, “Charlotte!”
“Yes?” Charlotte turned around with a confused look. “What’s up?”
“It’s windy out there. Remember to put on an extra piece of clothes,” Olivia reminded with a soft voice.
“I got it,” Charlotte responded with a smile and left after that.
Staring at the closed door, Olivia lowered her head despondently.
At that moment, she fell deep in sorrow. As she glanced toward Ellie, who was still in bed, her gaze
turned utterly complicated.
Getting back to her room, Charlotte put on slight makeup and got changed into a black dress. Then, she
headed out with her subordinates.
Before leaving, she instructed the subordinates at home to keep an eye on everyone’s safety.
All the subordinates nodded with utter obedience.
After getting into the car, Morgan asked suddenly, “Why don’t we bring Ms. Elisa with us now?”
“Of course not! If we bring her along now, how are we supposed to settle our business?” Lupine rolled
her eyes toward Morgan. “Mr. Lindberg’s men are waiting at the foot of the mountain, and they are
probably going to create a fuss. It will be troublesome if Ms. Elisa tags along.”
“I see. You’re right.” Morgan came to the realization. “But if things get out of hand, it would be
inappropriate to send Ms. Elisa to his place later, though. How about we just keep her at home?”
“That’s unlikely.” Lupine analyzed rationally. “I guess Mr. Lindberg merely wants to display the influence
and the power of Lindberg Corporation. And he wants the person in charge of the South Sea project to
sign the documents.”
“I suppose so.” Charlotte nodded slightly. “No matter how Danrique dislike the Nacht family, he won’t
create trouble at a funeral!”
“Good to hear that.” Morgan let out a sigh of relief while she started the car and drove off.
By then, around eight cars had been waiting under the mountain. All of them were wearing black. They
even switched from their usual silver cars to black cars.
Charlotte furrowed her brows upon seeing such a large group of people. “It seems like Danrique wants to
intimidate the Nacht family!”
“What should we do?” Lupine asked in a low voice.
“What else? We stick to our plan.”
Charlotte got out of the car and greeted Danrique’s men. Then, they followed the convoy and headed
toward Garden Villa of the Nacht residence.
Morgan expressed her confusion on the road. “Lupine, what does it mean by, to intimidate the Nacht
family?”
“After what happened to the South Sea project, and since we’re going to retreat from H City, people
might think we’re afraid of the Nacht family,” Lupine explained.
“I got it.” Morgan started to comprehend the situation. “So Mr. Lindberg’s gesture is to tell the world that
the Lindberg family is not afraid of the Nacht family. We merely don’t want to play the game anymore.”
“Finally you understand it.” Lupine let out a smile.
“You should learn more from Lupine. If not, based on your level of intelligence, you might suffer sooner or
later,” Charlotte reminded sternly.
“Got it.” Morgan bit her lips, not daring to voice out her questions again.
Lupine was gloating within upon hearing that. Just when she was about to talk about the documents with
Charlotte, her phone rang suddenly. “Hello!”
Lupine’s expression darkened as she listened to the phone. A moment later, she uttered anxiously, “Ms.
Lindberg, I’ve just got the news that Sharon escaped from prison!”
“What?” Charlotte’s heart fell with a thud. “Isn’t she being locked up? How could she possibly escape?”
“Since the hearing has not yet started, she has been kept in the detention center. Today she suddenly
became ill and got sent to the hospital. She grabbed the opportunity and escaped from the hospital,”
Lupine explained.
“Stop the car in front,” Charlotte commanded abruptly. “Send your men to search Sharon!”
“Yes!”
With that, Morgan stopped the car by the road. Then, Lupine got into another vehicle with her
subordinates and headed off to look for Sharon.
Lupine was well aware of how important Sharon was to Charlotte. After all, Sharon was the person who
humiliated her and murdered Mrs. Berry in cold blood.
