Chapter 1558 Underestimated
Charlotte grew more anxious the more she thought about it and kept urging Morgan, âDrive faster!â
âThis is the fastest I can go, Ms. Lindberg,â Morgan said, almost in tears from nerves herself. âThis is
a public road, and there are a lot of other cars and pedestrians here. If I go any faster, we'll get into
trouble.â
âTell the other family members to go to Garden Villa and pick up the kids,â Charlotte said, beginning
to think of other solutions. âTell everyone to be there. Now.â
"Okay!"
âMs. Lindberg, are you saying that that monster is going to do something to the kids?â Morgan said,
panicking. âMr. Spencer's people would protect them, right? Even in the worst-case scenario, they
should be able to hold out until we get there!â
"Spencer's men won't be able to last that long.â
Charlotte picked up her phone and tried to call Robbie but to no avail.
This only made her more anxious. âSh*t. They've probably been lying in wait for a long time. I can't
believe they acted right after I signed that contract.â
âIt can't be,â Morgan hurriedly said. âDidn't you say that Mr. Lindbergâs guys would protect them in
hiding? Nothing will happen to them.â
âThey were supposed to, but after what happened today, I'm afraid all of Danriqueâs guys are
helping to look for Zachary.â
Charlotte was kicking herself inwardly, and she hated herself for taking so long to think of
something so important.
She thought revealing to Chris that they were looking for Zachary would result in the mastermind
conducting a search for him too.
Now, however, she realized that that person had only sent a portion of his people to go after
Zachary just to throw her off. The real threat was probably already lying in wait at Garden Villa, just
waiting to get their claws on her children.
âSh*t!â Morgan said and stepped on the gas pedal harder. âAll we can do right now is pray.â
Charlotte picked up her phone and called Gordon, but he wasn't picking up, possibly looking for
Zachary in a place without cell reception.
âMs. Lindberg, we can't get through to Lupine either,â one of her bodyguards reported urgently.
At that moment, Charlotte was gritting her teeth in anger. She couldn't believe how smart that
person was. He had probably intended to lead the others to an area without reception so that he
could ambush them.
All of this was practically too perfect of a plan.
The more stupid Chris acted, the more she underestimated Jesse.
That was precisely why she had miscalculated everything.
Beep...
Suddenly, Charlotte's phone rang. She picked it up only to see Spencer's name.
Immediately, she answered, âSpencer?â
âWhat's going on? Did your subordinates come to pick up your kids?" Spencer asked urgently.
âWhat? Someone already picked up the kids?" Charlotte asked urgently. âWhen? Who was it? Were
Cain and Kyle not watching them?â
âThe two of them and a couple of other subordinates got taken away in a long SUV."
Spencer's voice was low, but he sounded extremely urgent nonetheless. âBelieve me. Whether or
not they're Zachary's kids, I donât want anything to happen to them. Besides, you know I'm on your
side.â
âI know,â Charlotte cut him off and tried her best to control her emotions. âListen to me, Spencer. I'll
settle this on my own, but you have to follow our original plan. Donât change anything because of
this.â
âAre the kids really okay?â
âI'll do my best to save them. Besides, Danriqueâs kids are there too. There's no way he would let
anything happen to them.â
"Okay," Spencer said, breathing a sigh of relief. âJohann and I are still here at the company. Protect
yourself and the kids.â
âGot it.â
After hanging up, Charlotte thought about it for a second before calling Nancy.
She only picked up after a while. In a soft voice, she answered, âHello?â
âNancy, if anything happens to my kids, I'm going to drag the entire Gold family to hell with me.â
