Chapter 1643 Provocation
Suddenly, Chris had an epiphany. âJesse, that's a wonderful plan you have going for you. You were
the one who drugged me and got me to sleep with your daughter so that I would marry her. And
after making her my heir, you intend to kill me so that she would inherit Nacht Group, isn't it?â
"What's wrong with you?â Jesse thundered. âWhat did Charlotte say to you? Let me remind you that
sheâs just sowing discord between us. You had better not be such a foolâ"
Before Jesse could finish, Chris ended the call and ordered, âDrive. We're going to Fairlake.â
"Huh? We're going to Fairlake now? But it's three hundred kilometers away.â
His subordinates were surprised by the sudden decision to travel there.
âJust do it!â Chris snapped.
"Yes, sir,â the subordinate acknowledged.
At that moment, Chris was filled with anxiety, as his priority was to find out if he had been poisoned.
Since all the hospitals in H City were under Jesse's control, he planned to get himself examined
somewhere else, which played into Charlotte's hands.
Meanwhile, Charlotte received a call from Raina.
"Just as you predicted, Chris has gotten on the highway and is driving toward Fairlake.â
âIt seems my words are working as they should.â Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly.
âI'll get in touch with the hospital in Fairlake.â
âThere's no need to,â Charlotte interrupted. âHe won't get there.â
"What?" Just when Raina put the question across, the answer dawned upon her right away. âAre you
saying that Jesse will stop him?"
âYes,â Charlotte sneered. âGiven how formidable he is, he must be watching Chris from the
shadows.â
âWhat about your plan?â
"Donât worry. I have achieved my objective as long as Chrisâ suspicion is aroused.â
âIn that case, what should we do now?"
âFind Robbie and rescue him as soon as possible. Once we do that, I can go against Jesse without
holding back.â
âShould I meet up with Bruce?â
âNo, you should keep watch at home on my behalf while I travel to Yaleview.â
"Are you sure? You're needed both at home and at the company.â
âThe share transfer will take three days time. During this period, nothing is more important than
saving Robbie. Hence, take care of things at home for me, all right?"
âAll right.â
"Given that Garden Villa has been taken over by Chris, Mr. Spencer can no longer return. Hence, you
will have to settle him into Northridge. Consequently, the security of Northridge is now paramount.
Do you understand?â
âUnderstood.â
After ending the call, Charlotte took a deep breath and looked out at the blazing sunset outside the
window. The burden she felt in her heart weighed heavily on her.
Even though she was exhausted, she still needed to hurry toward Yaleview.
While traveling on the highway there, Charlotte received news that Chrisâ car had been stopped by
the Gold family, and he was subsequently led away.
As a result, she smiled contemptuously to herself, for she knew that Chris was unable to escape
Jesse given the fool that he was.
Nonetheless, with Chrisâ suspicion now aroused, Jesse's plan would be impeded, especially with
Nancy's resistance.
With Jesse distracted by the two of them, Charlotte intended to use the opportunity to rescue
Robbie.
After glancing at her watch, Charlotte ordered, âDrive faster.â
âRight away.â
As her car sped toward Yaleview, the Gold family's convoy passed her by from the opposite
direction.
From her window, Charlotte could see Chris having a heated argument with Jesse inside.
"Stop complaining and shut up,â Jesse exploded at Chris. He then asked his subordinate, âWas that
the Lindbergsâ car that just passed us by?â
âIt looks like it, Mr. Gold,â the subordinate replied.
âIt seems she is heading to Yaleview to rescue her son.â Smirking, Jesse turned to Chris. âDid you see
that? By sowing discord between us, Charlotte is trying to use you to distract me so that she can
save her son.â
