Staring at the dark sky outside, Charlotte got overwhelmed with uneasiness. She felt as though something terrible would always happen on a rainy day.
She feared the whole thing might fail in the end.
“Ms. Lindberg, you don’t have to worry.” Meanwhile, Morgan was not bothered at all. “Taylor is already arrested, while Cynthia and Zara are dead. Sharon won’t be able to make waves by herself.”
“I bet you’re right.” Charlotte nodded in agreement. Sharon is the only one left in the Blackwood family. I doubt if she would be able to make a difference.
However, Charlotte still could not help but worry as she deliberately made a call to Olivia. “Olivia, please be extra careful when you leave the house later. Please wait for my men to pick you up. Don’t leave alone, understand?”
“Understood. Don’t worry.” Olivia hesitated before she spoke again, “Did something happen?”
“Nothing…” Charlotte did not want to startle her. “Make sure you keep Ellie company. I’ll call you again later.”
“Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, Charlotte looked out of the car again. By then, they had entered the path inside the Garden Villa. Soon, they would be arriving at the Nacht residence.
Sharon should be alone now. After she has escaped, the only place she can go is the airport. Even though the Synder Group is gone now, she should be able to get her hand on some money. I bet she will try to buy a fake passport and a flight ticket to leave H City. Nonetheless, how did she manage to escape by herself?
Charlotte could not wrap her head around it.
“Ms. Lindberg, we’re there!” Just then, Morgan reminded her.
Only then did Charlotte come back to her senses and realize the car had stopped moving. The next moment, two bodyguards opened the car door from outside.
Charlotte put on her sunglasses and walked out of the car. She entered the place triumphantly, with eighteen subordinates following her.
All the journalists who had been waiting outside immediately surrounded them. The bodyguards of the Nacht residence swiftly went to control the scene as those journalists almost messed up the barricades.
Bruce appeared abruptly and greeted them with a troubled look. “Ms. Lindberg, why are you here?”
“To pay my last respect to Mr. Henry.”
Charlotte made a gesture, and Danrique’s men immediately brought forward the wreaths and the condolences stand.
