Chapter 1644 Your End Is Near
âI don't deny the truth in that,â Chris answered coldly. âHowever, didn't you drug me to sleep with
your daughter so that you could force me to marry her?â
âThat's my way of tightening our collaboration,â Jesse asserted. âWithin this partnership, neither of
us can do without the other. If either one of us leaves, the plan will fall apart. Given how intertwined
our interests are, it's natural that we should close ranks to prevent any future problems. As for what
Charlotte told you, there's no need for you to worry at all. Given how massive Nacht Group is,
there's no way I can take over it alone, even if I wanted to. Since it's in my long-term interest for you
to be in charge, why would I kill the goose that lays the golden egg? It would be stupid of me to do
so, don't you think?â
Jesse's words sounded extremely persuasive. Finally, he added, âBesides, what's wrong with my
daughter? She's both beautiful and talented. In fact, sheâs not inferior to Charlotte in any way. Don't
forget that Charlotte is a sullied woman who has given birth to three children. As for my daughter,
she never even had a boyfriend before.â
âIndeed, she is sublime.â
Relishing the pleasure he felt during the night with Nancy, he couldn't help but feel the urge to
want more. Although he had slept with many different women before, none of them were as
demure and stunning as she was.
Suddenly, something occurred to him. "However, it seems that she knows my true identity and hates
me to the core.â
âYou donât have to worry about that. Let me handle it.â Jesse was filled with confidence. âIn my
family, I have the final say.â
âAll right then.â Chris didnât say more as he finally relented. Nevertheless, his concerns had yet to be
allayed. After all, he still felt out of sorts and assumed that he was poisoned. Hence, he endeavored
to get himself examined when he had the opportunity.
After a few hours, Charlotte finally arrived in Yaleview and met up with Bruce late at night.
At that moment, Gordon was being treated in hospital for his injuries. As for his men, they were
drained after spending a long period of time tracking Robbie down. As a result, Bruce had taken
over the search for Robbie.
Once Charlotte had arrived and understood the situation, she joined them in their search
immediately.
Meanwhile, she had gotten Lupine to keep in touch with Morgan, so they were constantly updated
on the situation at Northridge.
Lupine reported, âMorgan told me that Francesco dropped by tonight again. Also, she has taken Dr.
Felch's prescription from Ben.â
âReally? That's wonderful news.â Charlotte was ecstatic. âIs she still there?â
âShe just left as it's already three in the morning.â Lupine continued to relate the details of what
happened, âShe treated Alpha first before going to see Ben... After she was gone, Morgan noticed
that she had taken Ben's prescription with her.â
âThat's good. That's really good.â Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief as she stared into space. She
added in relief, âNow that she has taken it, there will be hope for Zachary...â
"What is this crap? Is this prescription left behind by Dr. Felch?â
Meanwhile, inside the forest, Francesca knitted her brows as she studied the prescription under the
dim light of an oil lamp.
"What's wrong?â Zachary asked anxiously. âDid you take the wrong one?â
âIt should be the right one, but...â Francesca showed him the prescription. âIt's covered in blood, so I
can barely see a thing.â
"What?" Zachary's heart sank when he saw it. âBenâs blood must have stained it when he was shot.â
"Yeah. It was still sealed within the envelope, as Charlotte didn't open it to check.â
As Francesca threw the prescription aside, she remarked unsympathetically, âIt seems that fate
wants you dead. You had better resign yourself to it!"
Zachary was stumped. âCome on, Dr. Felch, d-don't you want your exorbitant medical fees
anymore?â
