Chapter 1078
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âBruce already has the airport surrounded, and he claimed that Lupine is there too. Iâm guessing Ms. Lindberg came to the same conclusion as you did,â informed Ben.
âSearch everywhere. We must find them!â commanded Zachary.
âUnderstood,â replied Ben before he relayed the message.
Zachary looked out the window. The sky was gloomy, and it felt like something huge was about to happen.
For some reason, he felt like something was off.
Just then, the Lindberg familyâs convoy zipped past from the side. They were as quick as the wind.
Zacharyâs chauffeur yelped and exclaimed, âThat Morgan really knows how to drive.â
âMarino isnât here, so there is no way we can overtake them. Just focus on being safe and drive slowly,â reminded Ben.
âUnderstood.â
âThey should be heading to the airport as well,â said Ben as he turned to look at Zachary. The former added, âDonât worry, Mr. Nacht. We have so many people on our side, so there is no way Sharon can flee H City.â
âYeah,â muttered Zachary. He got his phone out to call the police and ask about the details of how Sharon escaped prison. He hoped to find some clue.
At the same time, Charlotte was looking out the window and looking as grim as the gloomy weather.
She had received proper treatment, so her illness no longer hurt her as much. Still, she would get strangely agitated whenever it rained.
She analyzed everything and came to the same conclusion that Zachary did.
Thinking back, she remembered how Olivia looked off and wanted to confess something when Charlotte left that afternoon. Her guilt was probably eating her alive.
The silver lining was that Charlotte believed that Olivia would never hurt Ellie. It is still f*cked up that she obeyed the criminalâs words and kidnapped Ellie to rescue Peter.
Cynthia poisoned Ellie and hurt Ellie so badly. Ellieâs medical condition has just turned for the better when someone kidnapped her. Her weakened physical state canât handle the stress. If anything were to happenâ¦
Charlotte didnât even dare to imagine what would happen.
âThat woman is vile. Youâve always treated Olivia nicely, but she betrayed you for a guy,â growled Morgan angrily, âIf I ever get my hands on her, I will freaking skin her alive!â
âIf the situation was switched and someone kidnapped Marino to force your hand, what would you do?â challenged Charlotte.
âI will save him myself. If I fail to do so, then weâll just die together. Itâs nothing to be afraid of. I will never drag an innocent person down with me and will never betray you for anything or anyone,â replied Morgan without hesitating.
âThatâs good to know.â
Charlotte tapped Morganâs shoulder and was a little touched. Unfortunately, the former soon thought about Olivia, and that got her down once more. I am careful with everyone, but I never had my guard up against Olivia. I never thought that sheâd betray meâ¦
Even at that moment, Charlotte still couldnât accept the truth.
âAt the end of the day, that assh*le, Zachary Nacht, is to be blamed. None of this wouldâve happened if he hadnât hidden Sharon away or handed her to the police. Everything wouldâve been fine if he had just let you shoot that woman!â growled Morgan angrily when she thought about it.
Charlotte didnât reply to that. Morgan is straightforward, and she doesnât always use nice words, but she always tells the truth.
Just then, Charlotte thought of something. Even if Sharon had planned ahead and sent someone to kidnap Peter and threaten Olivia, it still wouldnât add up.
Synder Group has declared bankruptcy. Assuming that Sharon got lucky and slipped out of prison, she still could not afford to hire anyone to fake being the Nacht familyâs convoy. So who sponsored her and helped her take Olivia and Ellie away?
There is a mastermind behind it all.
But⦠both Zara and Cynthia are dead while Taylor is imprisoned. Who else is there to help her out?
Moreover, that person must be powerful. How else could he or she have a fake Nacht family convoy?
Who could it be?
Charlotte simply couldnât make heads or tails of the matterâ¦
âYou know, itâs strange,â commented Morgan suddenly, âSharon should be on her own when she kidnapped Olivia and Ellie, so by right, we shouldâve already found her. Lupine had so many people with her, so why havenât they found anyone?â
