While Charlotte and Lupine returned to Kindness Hospital, Bruce stayed behind to continue looking for
clues.
At the same time, Alpha had gotten out of surgery. However, she had yet to regain consciousness even
though she was not in a critical condition.
Raina found that other than the injury from the fall, Alpha also had other issues in her brain area, and
there was a need for further consultations with other experts to find out the exact problem.
Upon hearing the news, Charlotte was both anxious and furious. She was silently blaming herself for
failing to take good care of the children. At the same time, she felt resentful toward Jesse for not
sparing young children like Alpha.
Like her, Lupine and Morgan were seething with anger by that. That was especially true for Morgan as
she wanted to seek revenge by killing the culprits. Thankfully, Lupine stopped her in time.
Despite being overwhelmed with awful emotions, Charlotte still had to support the family. After
freshening herself up with a cold face wash, she instructed Morgan to bring Beta, Gamma, and Ellie
back first.
After all, the hospital was still a risky location since many people it was easily accessible. She figured it
would be a better choice to take the children home since they were in good health.
To further protect the children, she got all the female bodyguards to follow Morgan back to Northridge.
In addition, she reminded them to report to her as soon as they came across any situation.
As Morgan was carrying the children, she only nodded without grasping the hidden meaning behind
Charlotte’s words.
After their departure, Lupine asked, “Ms. Lindberg, Chris should’ve taken the Nacht family with him by
now and moved out of Northridge, right?”
“I think so.” At that point, Charlotte was visibly exhausted. “Make a call to find out.”
“I’ll do it now.”
Lupine’s call with the maid at Northridge lasted over ten minutes. Upon concluding the call, she
reported to Charlotte at once.
“As expected, Chris has taken everybody with him, including Mrs. Rawlston and the maids. It’s said
that they’ve moved to Mr. Spencer’s place. Isn’t it strange? Even though Southridge is still under
renovations, the Nacht family has so many villas in H City. Is there a need to move there and disturb
Mr. Spencer?”
“You won’t understand,” Charlotte uttered while frowning. “He wants to stay by Mr. Spencer’s side and
get him to support him.”
“What?” Lupine’s jaw hung slack at those words. “Isn’t he a little too thick-skinned?”
“What can you expect from a despicable man like him?” Charlotte rolled her eyes.
“That’s true.” Lupine could not refute that and continued with her report, “The maid said they’ve also left
with the car, leaving nothing else for us. Also—”
“That’s all small matters. Don’t have to mind that,” Charlotte interrupted Lupine’s words. “When Morgan
calls later, tell her not to let anyone from the Nacht family get near Northridge. What we have to do now
is protect our place and the kids well. There’s no need to be bothered about anything else.”
“Got it.” Lupine nodded in response.
“Also,” Charlotte instructed after thinking for a while, “contact various media outlets…”
She held her tongue mid-sentence. “Well, never mind about that.”
“What is it?” It took Lupine a while to realize Charlotte’s intention. “Are you worried that Jesse will
spread rumors and incite the netizens to use verbal attacks against you again?”
“He’ll do that for sure. I bet news will be out before the sun rises tomorrow morning.” Fatigue
overwhelmed Charlotte. “I’m afraid I won’t be the only one; even the kids will get implicated.”
“That can’t be…” Lupine said without hesitation. “Aren’t Mr. Spencer and Mr. Sterk on our side? They
won’t allow Chris to do that.”
“With the way things are right now, I’m sure they won’t be able to suppress it,” Charlotte answered with
a frown. “After all, Zachary has the most power in the Nacht Group. That imposter knows he can do
whatever he wishes while living under Zachary’s identity. How will anybody else have a say or even do
anything to him?”
“If that’s the case, everyone will be able to see his true colors, isn’t it?” Lupine pointed out the main
point that came to her mind. “Mr. Nacht is certainly not an ungrateful and heartless man.”
“Anger would crush any man for having raised a child for seven years, only to realize that the child isn’t
his. No one, not even someone high on the pedestal like Zachary, is an exception. With that in mind,
Chris knows it’s not too much to do anything.”
Charlotte was extremely clear about the situation.
