Chapter 1260

“What should we do then? We can’t possibly let them lock us up just like that?” Morgan, who was starting to panic, asked. “Gordon and the three little ones are still waiting for us at the villa. When can we leave?”

Charlotte did not reply, but merely walked toward the French windows, looking outside with a complicated gaze…

“Ms. Lindberg…”

“Alright, stop asking questions,” Lupine interrupted Morgan, reminding softly, “Let Ms. Lindberg have some peace.”

Upon hearing that, Morgan stopped speaking.

The two bodyguards stood next to Charlotte quietly, accompanying her.

“I’m so glad that Dr. Felch had gone back first,” Charlotte suddenly spoke. “If not, I’ll feel really bad if he had ended up being imprisoned here with us.”

“Ms. Lindberg, shall we give Gordon a call and get him to come here and save us?” Morgan asked tentatively.

“Are you mad?” Lupine chided. “Gordon has to protect the kids. If he shows up here, not only will we not be able to escape, he will be captured as well. No matter how strong Gordon is, we are still outnumbered.”

“Well, Gordon can gather more people.” Morgan was growing increasingly anxious as she said, “Mr. Lindberg has other subordinates as well…”

“Shut up,” Charlotte stopped Morgan from talking. “You’re not allowed to bring this up ever again.”

“Understood.” Morgan did not dare to speak any further.

“Don’t worry, we won’t be staying here for long.” Charlotte sat down on the sofa and continued placidly, “Even without Gordon saving us, we will be able to get out soon.”

“Really?” That piqued Morgan’s curiosity.

“Yup.” Charlotte took a sip of water from her glass before continuing, “Just bear with it for a few more days. Try to avoid confrontation with Louis’ family members.”

“Understood,” Lupine and Morgan replied, nodding their heads continuously.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. It was Diana, who had arrived with the maids, delivering breakfast. She had also brought along some fresh flowers for the room.

Charlotte remained seated on the sofa while observing the woman quietly. After they finished busying, Charlotte instructed, “Please inform my other two bodyguards that breakfast is ready and get them here.”

“Sure, Ms. Lindberg.” Diana immediately ordered one of the maids to get Jade and Emma over.

“Thanks, I appreciate that,” Charlotte smiled faintly and said, “You may leave now.”

“Alright.” Just when Diana was about to leave the room with the maids, Charlotte suddenly stopped them. “Wait a minute.”

“Is there anything else I can do for you, Ms. Lindberg?” Diana asked, halting in her tracks.

“Please ask Louis to look for me when he’s back,” Charlotte said smilingly, with her gaze fixed on Diana.

A hint of panic flashed across Diana’s eyes, but quickly, she composed herself and replied, “Sure.”

Right after that, the woman lowered her head and left the room…

A smirk appeared on Charlotte’s face as she watched Diana’s figure disappear behind the door.

At the same time, Lupine and Morgan exchanged knowing glances.

“You two should change shifts with Jade and Emma after breakfast and get some rest.” Charlotte sipped on her coffee and said, “There isn’t much to do now anyway. Have some rest while you can and refuel your energy.”

“Understood.” Lupine and Morgan nodded.

Just then, Jade and Emma arrived. Once they entered the room, the two of them said, “Ms. Lindberg, there’s no reception on our phones.”

“Really? We should check ours too.”

Lupine and Morgan immediately checked their phones as well. Indeed, none of their phones had any reception, including Charlotte’s.

“No wonder they are allowing us to stay together. Seems like they’ve blocked off our contact with the outside world.” Morgan was almost choking on her rage. “Now, we’re really being isolated from the world!”

“It’s OK, don’t worry,” Charlotte reassured her bodyguards. “C’mon, have breakfast first.”

“Alright.”

Even though Charlotte was their employer, the female bodyguards knew that the woman was always amiable and had no airs. She would also have meals with them occasionally. As such, they did not refuse her offer.

Meanwhile, Diana and the maids, who were standing guard outside, overheard the conversation inside the room.

One of the maids mocked, “That’s not how someone from a prestigious family would behave. It’s ridiculous that she’s eating with her bodyguards.”

However, Diana was still distracted by what Charlotte said to her earlier on. Please ask Louis to look for me when he’s back…
