Chapter 1564
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1564 At A Loss As the identification number and phone number Jesse had used were abruptly deactivated, the systemâs tracking work had also been interrupted. It remained the same despite Johannâs countless efforts to revive it.
In an instant, all their leads had been cut off.
Charlotte had been out for the whole day with Bruce and Morgan searching till late at night, yet there was no news whatsoever.
With the number Nancy provided, she tried taking the initiative to contact Jesse. Nevertheless, it turned out to be an empty number.
Evidently, Jesse had taken to action after realizing that his number had been disclosed.
Midnight, Charlotte stood along the coast, staring drearily at the sea while the breeze whipped her hair gently. She felt at a complete loss, just like one of the boats sailing on the sea.
She had been pulling herself together all this while because of her strong determination toward defending the Nacht family.
No matter how tired she was and what trials and tribulations she went through outside, the moment she returned home and saw the childrenâs innocent and smiley faces, she would feel a glimpse of hope within her again.
But now, she felt utterly troubled that she had failed miserably at everythingâthe corporation had fallen into the hands of a villain, Zachary was still missing, and she had even lost the children.
She had thought she would be able to deal with Chris and the mastermind behind him all by herself. It was only at that point that she figured that she had thought too highly of her capabilities.
It was only the beginning, yet she had already lost the game.
Even though Jesse had never once shown up before her eyes, she had totally lost her trump card.
At this moment, Charlotteâs heart was broken beyond repair.
âMs. Lindbergâ¦â Lupine walked over to Charlotte and covered her with a jacket. âFret not. Iâm sure weâll have a solution.â
âSolution? What solution?â A bitter smile flitted across Charlotteâs lips. âMy mind is completely blank now. I canât think of any possible solutions at all.â
âWe can ask Mr. Lindberg for help..â
âForget about it.â Charlotte let out a deep sigh. âDanrique has already returned to Erihal to prepare for his retaliation against the Lindberg family. How can I disturb him at such times?â
âThenâ¦â
âNot only did Jesse not get in contact with me, but he has even deactivated his number. Itâs obvious that he has no intentions to confront me head-on. Since thatâs the case, I shall remain passiveâ¦â
Worry began overwhelming Charlotteâs mind as she held her head low.
âHow about we try calling Ms. Gold? Perhaps we can ask her for help in contacting her father?â Lupine asked tentatively.
âAre you crazy?â Charlotte furrowed her brows. âNancy has already set off the alarm and angered her father for helping us today. Sheâll surely be under stern supervision from now on. Contacting her now will be useless. Worse still, we might even drag her into this mess.â
âT-Then⦠what should we do?â Lupine did not know what else to say.
âMs. Lindberg, I believe Mr. Spencer and Mr. Sterk still trust you.â Bruce tried to sound Charlotte out. âTheyâve been in close contact with me and asked me about the childrenâs situation. How about trying to discuss it with them?â
âThereâs no point in discussing with them. Itâs good enough that they can take care of the company right now. They wonât be able to attend to such matters. Besides, they arenât good at thisâ¦â
âThenâ¦â
âForget it. Go back first.â
All that Charlotte could do was calm herself down first since she was out of solutions.
âI reckon they wonât hurt Robbie and Jamie for now. They need the kids to threaten me. Letâs head home first and wait for them to call me.â
âIâll continue to think of something,â Bruce said with a determined look. âI vow to find Robbie and Jamie even if that means I have to turn the entire H City over.â
âThank you for your hard work.â Charlotte gave him a pat on his back before turning to Lupine and said, âLetâs head to the hospital now.â
âSure.âq
