Chapter 1557 The Real Professional
Those words don't sound like anything that Zachary would ever say.
Spencer stared at him, and his frown deepened.
âJust sign, Ms. Lindberg,â Rodney said quietly. âIt'll be better for everyone.â
Without another word, Charlotte simply picked up the pen and signed her name onto the
documents.
Chrisâ eyes lit up at the sight of the thick sheaf of papers.
Even Kallum was clearly excited.
âGood,â Spencer said in a low voice at the sight of Charlotte's signatures. âYou can leave now. I will
settle things with the board of directors.â
Charlotte remained silent and glared at Chris before turning to leave.
Immediately, Morgan and the other two bodyguards followed closely behind her.
The bodyguards opened up a path for them to walk through while everybody else simply stared at
them.
Lucy continued watching Charlotte with the intention to go and talk to her, but in the end, she
simply remained rooted to her spot.
Everyone in the president's office watched as Charlotte left, but none of them dared to come up and
talk to her.
Some executives even cursed, âShe was let off too easily.â
Meanwhile, Charlotte, Morgan, and the others walked into the elevator.
It was about to close when Johann suddenly emerged from the crowd and said softly, âTake care of
the kids, Charlotte! I know we'll meet again.â
Charlotte nodded quietly.
After walking out of the elevator, she got into the car.
Morgan finally exploded, âWhat the hell was up with all those people? They're so shameless! All they
do is trim their sails to the wind.â
"Hasn't Lupine replied?â one of the bodyguards asked carefully. âHave they found Mr. Nacht?â
âIt's impossible to find him this quickly,â Morgan said in disappointment. âWhile waiting for the
results, I was in contact with Lupine the whole time. They've been putting their all into looking for
him, but nothing's coming up.â
âThen what was the phone call from before?â
âI purposely asked Lupine to make the call,â Morgan replied. âWe wanted to get to that imposter
and make him think we already found Mr. Nacht so that he would panic and hopefully expose
himself.â
"iseelâ
The two bodyguards nodded in surprise.
âWe would have succeeded too if it weren't for the mastermind calling him at the last minute,â
Morgan said angrily. âMs. Lindberg was doing so well! That imposter was no match for her, but that
mastermind truly does have a few tricks up his sleeve.â
âYou're right.â
âMorgan!â Charlotte said urgently, suddenly remembering something. âGo to Garden Villa and pick
up the kids right now.â
âAll right,â Morgan said, instantly starting the car.
âCall Gordon and ask him to arrange for people to greet us there,â Charlotte continued.
âUnderstood.â One of the bodyguards immediately made the call.
"Drive faster, Morgan.â
Charlotte had a bad feeling that that evil man would do something to her kids. If they managed to
get their hands on her kids, she wouldn't have anything left.
With her soft spot in their hands, all she could do was accept her fate.
âMs. Lindberg, I can't get through to Gordon,â one of the bodyguards said anxiously. âWhat do we
do?â
âCall Lupine and tell her to return first.â
Charlotte was really beginning to panic now. She was finally aware that she may have
underestimated the mastermind.
Before that, she had assumed that she was doing well and that everything was going her way, but
only now did she realize that everything had been in Jesse's control the whole time.
For every step that she made, he was always one step ahead of her. He had managed to predict
everything she would do and even used Chris as a pawn for his plan, making her assume that he
was merely on the same level as Chris.
Now, she finally realized that he was using Chrisâ incompetence to hide his actual capability.
Even now, he had complete control over every single detail. If he got his hands on the kids, there
was nothing they could do even if Zachary returned.
