Chapter 1069
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Morgan, who was of the same thought, repeated after Lupine, âItâs undeniable that heâs an exceptional father.â
Charlotte was rendered speechless by the duo since she couldnât share the truth with them. She had no choice but to suffer in silence.
Meanwhile, Zachary had a great time making fun of Charlotte.
Out of nowhere, Ben mentioned, âIf Iâm not mistaken, theyâre going to make their way to Erihal at three oâclock tomorrow.â
The trio in the car went dead silent since they were certain Charlotte was about to leave for good.
âMr. Nacht, havenât you thought of anything to stop them? Can you get Ms. Lindberg to stay here?â Marino brought up an absurd request out of nowhere.
âI wish sheâs going to change her mind and stay here, butââ
Halfway through his sentence, Zachary paused. He was of the same idea, but he couldnât do anything to change her mind.
Unfortunately, thereâs nothing I can do to change her mind as of now.
Ben begged to differ. He said, âThings had gotten to the point of no return because of Mr. Nachtâs aunt. I think itâs great for them to leave and take a breather for the time being. If thereâs something you wish to do, I think itâs better to put everything into action two months later when we go over to pick up Ellie.â
âWell, letâs hope things turn out just fine at the end of the day.â
Zachary had long thought of the things Ben brought up. That was precisely the reason he sent Ellie Charlotteâs way and insisted on having their daughter make the trip to Erihal.
Iâll definitely sort everything out within two months! Hopefully, sheâs going to figure out itâs not easy for her to start all over again as a member of the Lindberg family!
Marino let out a long sigh of despair, but he dared not share his concerns with others as much as he was against the idea of sending them off.
âHurry up!â Zachary urged upon another glimpse at his watch. Since it was Henryâs funeral, there were a lot of things that would require his attention.
âYes!â
Charlotte, who had made her way to deal with the person in charge of the project, had to postpone her plan as most of them had made their way to Henryâs funeral.
As infuriated as she might be, she knew it wouldnât be wise to make a fuss out of it since it was someone elseâs funeral.
When she was about to return, she received a call from Danrique. Once she picked it up, she greeted the man, âDanrique!â
âI want you to show up for Mr. Nachtâs funeral!â
âH-Huh?â Charlotte thought she had been hearing things since Danrique held a strong grudge against Henry.
Why does Danrique want me to be there when heâs not even on good terms with him? He might have passed on, but thereâs no way Danriqueâs going to forgive him!
Danrique repeated himself when Charlotte was in a state of bewilderment, âI have everything ready on our behalf.â
âDanrique, what exactly are you up to?â Charlotte asked in an attempt to figure out the things Danrique had in store for Henry.
âWhat? Are you afraid?â
Charlotte was at a loss for words when she heard Danriqueâs question. In spite of the grudges she held against Henry, she thought it was time to let bygones be bygones.
She was afraid Danrique would make a scene during Henryâs funeral. At the end of the day, he was her childrenâs great-grandfather. Since her children would be there as well, she didnât want to get them involved in the family feud.
âJust listen to me!â Danrique hung up the call once he made himself clear she had no choice but to do as instructed.
Grasping her phone with all her might, Charlotte started frowning in fear of the things awaiting the members of the Nacht family.
It was then Lupine received a call and announced shortly after she wrapped up the conversation, âMr. Lindberg has instructed his men to get everything ready on our behalf. He wants us to meet him at five oâclock.â
âAlright.â
Lupine asserted in a hushed voice, âYou need to take it easy since I donât think heâs going to try anything reckless.
Perhaps heâs just trying to show the guests the person in charge of Lindberg Corporation is a forgiving man.â
Charlotte instructed, âI want you to get me the guest list of the funeral. Try to figure out if any journalist is allowed to be there.â
âYes!â Lupine made a few calls to figure out the potential guests showing up for Henryâs funeral.
In the meantime, Morgan asked, âWhere are we heading now?â
âWeâll make our way back for the time being,â Charlotte answered with her face puckered.
âAlright.â Morgan took note of Charlotteâs instructions and drove in the direction of Rokan Hill.
As soon as Lupine found out the potential guests, she announced, âMs. Lindberg, the officials of the city, and the stakeholders of Nacht Group will be showing up. On top of that, the late Mr. Nachtâs friends, including the corporate players and politicians, will be there as well. However, no journalists are allowed inside the hall.â
