Chapter 1029

Charlotte felt a rush of emotions when she heard what Olivia said. She recalled many things from the past but couldn’t remember all the details.

Olivia was her only friend back then and likely knew a lot of insider information and details. That was why she resented the Nacht family so much.

Knock! Knock! At that moment, Lupine had something to report.

Jeffrey remarked at once, “Charlotte, it’s time for us to take our leave. Do you really want to keep this money with me?”

“Yes, I’ll leave it with you for safekeeping,” Charlotte answered with a smile. “If the factories’ expansion needs additional capital, feel free to dip into it. Just treat it as an additional investment on my part.”

“All right then. I’ll record it down for you.” Jeffrey was meticulous in his work.

“Sure.” Charlotte nodded. “I’ll have my subordinates walk you out.”

“Charlotte…” Suddenly, Olivia gathered her courage and suggested, “I want to stay here with you.”

“Huh?” Charlotte was stunned.

“Two years ago, I wasn’t able to protect you and it has been hanging on my conscience since. If I had left together with you and Mrs. Berry, she might still be alive. Although I couldn’t have done much, I could at least have called the police…”

Olivia spoke in a guilty and emotional voice.

“I realize that you have become influential and don’t need my help. Perhaps, I can help you watch the children.

Having me by your side would definitely be better than any outsiders.”

Touched by her words, Charlotte was glad that she had Olivia as a true friend back then.

“She has talked to me many times about it.” Jeffrey elaborated softly, “Although she is doing well at the factory, she worries about you all the time.”

“It’s dangerous to stay by my side.” Charlotte felt hesitant about the idea.

“Don’t worry. I’m not afraid.” Olivia patted her own chest. “After all, my mom has passed away and I’m all alone now. It would mean a lot to me if I could do something for you.”

“Huh? Your mom is no longer around? What happened?” Charlotte asked.

“In the later part of last year. She died of sickness.”

Olivia didn’t seem as sad when she talked about this.

“Actually, she was bedridden for many years and had been suffering all this while. After that, she managed to wake up and spend some time with me, for which I have been really grateful. When she passed away, she was at peace.

It reminded me that I have to repay my debt of gratitude to you. After all, you had helped me find a doctor for her.

Every time I get into trouble, you would also stand up for me too!”

Charlotte hugged Olivia and patted her on the back. “All right then. If you’re willing to stay, then be it. From now on, my home is yours!”

“Thank you, Charlotte!” Olivia was moved to tears.

“This way, I no longer have to worry.” Jeffrey felt relieved. “Both of you must live well.”

“Don’t worry about us.”

After walking Jeffrey out, Charlotte brought Olivia to see Dr. Felch and Hayley.

When the two old friends reunited, they hugged each other excitedly.

Both of them got to know each other through Charlotte and became good friends after that. Even after Charlotte’s incident, they still kept in contact.

The reason Marino was able to find Dr. Felch was also due to the information Olivia provided.

However, when Olivia provided the information to Morgan, she assumed that it was Charlotte Lindberg’s subordinates who were looking for him.

In the end, everything turned out for the best.

After that, Charlotte introduced Olivia to all her bodyguards and maids. She instructed them to treat Olivia as if she was her own sister and to serve her as such.

Everyone addressed her as Ms. Peyton, causing her to blush as she still wasn’t used to it.

Coincidentally, Ellie woke up from her afternoon nap. Hence, Hayley brought Olivia to see her.

Once everything was settled, Charlotte began her treatment for the day.

She soaked herself in a tub filled with medication while acupuncture needles were stuck onto her.

At that moment, Lupine rushed in to report. “Ms. Lindberg, I just found out that Zara is hiding at Henry’s residence.”
