“But now, we have no choice but to go against them. Let’s think of how we can solve the problem at hand first.” Morgan felt unsettled. “Considering Lady Sherlyn’s attitude, I don’t think she will let the matter slide. Why don’t we leave and return to either Erihal or H City?”
“Erihal is definitely out of the question, as we might add to Mr. Lindberg’s troubles there.” Lupine gave Charlotte a look. “In H City, we have Mr. Nacht there…”
“It’s too late to do anything now.” Charlotte stared in front of the car.
Raising her gaze, Morgan slowed the car down at once.
More than ten military vehicles had formed a barricade to block their way.
“It’s the Laurent family’s men.” Lupine frowned. “I knew it. Lady Sherlyn isn’t going to let us off easy.”
“What do we do?” Morgan’s expression turned grim. “Why don’t we give Gordon a call?”
Just as she spoke, she took out her phone.
“We can’t.” Charlotte stopped her. “Even if Gordon and his men are here, they wouldn’t stand a chance against them. Furthermore, they need to deal with the assassins from Erihal and protect the children.”
“In that case, we…”
“We’ll just have to go along with them.” Charlotte stared intently ahead. “I will have to face the consequences of my own actions.”
“Perhaps, that’s for the best. After all, the few of us are here with you.” Lupine remarked defiantly, “I’m confident that the Laurent family won’t dare lay a finger on you.”
“Mmm-hmm.” Charlotte ordered, “Slow down and drive ahead.”
“Yes.”
“Mr. Nacht, Lady Sherlyn has brought in the military to stop Ms. Lindberg and escort her back,” Ben reported.
“Mmm-hmm.” Lowering his gaze, Zachary continued sipping his wine.
“Everything is going according to your expectations.” Ben looked grim. “However, will Ms. Lindberg and the others be in danger?”
“Sir Robert knows where to draw the line. Now that there’s no news of Mr. Lindberg, he wouldn’t dare harm Charlotte yet.” Zachary was extremely calm.
