Chapter 1492 On Deck
"Speak of the devil,â Charlotte said and answered the phone immediately.
âMs. Lindberg!â
âGordon, it's great to hear from you again.â
Urgently requiring aid, she quickly asked, âAre you still in Erihal? Have you made contact with
Danrique?â
âNot yet,â Gordon replied. âHowever, I've confirmed that Mr. Lindberg is still alive and is safe. Hence,
I've returned to H City to protect you and the triplets.â
âYou're back in H City? That's great!â Charlotte exclaimed. âYour timing can't be any better. I need
help now!"
"We just arrived at the airport and are at your beck and call.â
âBring your men to Nacht Group now,â Charlotte instructed immediately.
âUnderstood, I'll come over now!â
âNo, wait..."
All of a sudden, Charlotte calmed down. There are already rumors that claim that I returned to the
Nacht family for revenge under Danriqueâs command. If his men are to appear by my side at this
juncture, it'll only raise more suspicions.
âDonât worry about it. I brought some new faces along with me this time. No one will recognize
them.â
Gordon understood her concerns.
âWhen I met with Sean in Erihal, I had some of his men join me. Although they've always been
following Mr. Lindberg, they never showed themselves in public. Therefore, no one knows who they
are. During the press conference, I'll lay low and protect you in secret. At the same time, I'll try to
find out the culprit who engineered this.â
"What a well-thought-out plan,â Charlotte praised, delighted. âThen, come here right now. I'll send
Lupine to receive you.â
âAll right.â
As soon as she ended the call, Lupine immediately said, âThat's great. With Gordon around, we've
gotten ourselves a great aid.â
"He sure appeared at such a good timing.â Charlotte was also exhilarated, but she soon started
casting doubt on Gordon's timely arrival. âWait, it feels like he returned to H City earlier than
expected because he foresaw I would be in trouble.â
âDidnât he mention that he had originally planned to return here? It's just a coincidence.â
Charlotte shook her head. âNo, I don't think it's a coincidence but more like he had planned to
return to protect me from the very beginning.â
"Maybeâ"
âMaybe Danrique found out what happened to the Nacht family and is worried about me. That's
why he sent Gordon to my aid,â Charlotte deduced. âDanrique has always been like this, tough on
the outside but soft on the inside.â
âYou are right.â
Lupine was gratified that Charlotte managed to hit the mark, even though she had not said
anything.
âLet's start prepping.â Charlotte shifted her focus back to the matter at hand. Glancing at her watch,
she exhorted, âWe can't lose this battle. Or else, I will be disappointing Zachary.â
âIt's going to be fine. After all, we're innocent,â Lupine consoled her. âAll right. I'll go make the
arrangements for security.â
"Go on.â
Clutching her phone, Charlotte paced the office. It's already ten, an hour till the press conference.
Since Gordon would be in charge of security, she could finally heave a sigh of relief.
She could rebut the accusations the media had thrown at her and even provide evidence to the
contrary.
However, she had no idea what would ensue.
While she was out in the open, the culprit remained hidden in the dark. It was impossible to be
prepared for the lurking threats.
Nonetheless, there was no point in mulling over it. She could only cross that bridge when she came
to it,
Charlotte sat down and continued her work. Regardless of the situation, she had to remain
levelheaded.
In the meantime, Lucy had informed others that the press conference was rescheduled while Lupine
met with Gordon to settle the arrangements for security.
âGordon, this is a detailed plan of the building. I'll distribute a copy to each of your men just in
case.â
âMmm.â Gordon took the plans from her. Without even looking at them, he passed them to his
men. âI've seen it before. Everything is in my mind.â
