Morgan and a few female bodyguards came rushing up to Charlotte upon Gordon’s departure. “Ms. Lindberg! I just found out that Robbie and Ellie were taken away by Mr. Nacht’s men. Lupine is chasing after them as we speak.”
Charlotte said despondently, “Ask her to come back. There’s no point in chasing them; we’d never catch up to them anyway.”
“B-But-”
“Charlotte!” Louis interrupted Morgan’s protests as he ran toward Charlotte. “Are you okay?”
She lifted her head and stared at him blankly before glancing at Robert and Sherlyn in the distance, feeling torn.
Louis immediately comforted her, “Charlotte, I heard that Zachary brought the kids with him. Don’t worry; I’ll talk to him. You should rest in your room and leave everything to me.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Charlotte bowed lightly to Robert and Sherlyn on the way to the manor.
Sherlyn sighed and said, “She’s so calm. The average woman would’ve freaked out at such an incident. Her composure is admirable.”
“She’s a Lindberg, after all. Mr. Lindberg would never tolerate fools,” Robert commented sulkily.
Sherlyn nodded in agreement. “I guess you’re right. Anyway, what’s with your attitude? You’re behaving as if I did something wrong.”
Her ignorance stoked Robert’s anger. “You are in the wrong! Did you have any idea what you just did?”
Sherlyn retorted petulantly, “What did I do wrong? The Lindbergs and the Nachts are enemies. Why do we need to walk on eggshells around the Nacht family when Louis is marring a Lindberg?”
“We can’t afford to offend either of them. The business world is like a battlefield; it’s utterly unpredictable. It’s always to our benefit to maintain a good relationship with powerful families for the stability of our future,” explained Robert angrily.
“I don’t understand.”
