Chapter 1643 Provocation
Suddenly, Chris had an epiphany. “Jesse, that’s a wonderful plan you have going for you. You were the one who drugged me and got me to sleep with your daughter so that I would marry her. And after making her my heir, you intend to kill me so that she would inherit Nacht Group, isn’t it?”
“What’s wrong with you?” Jesse thundered. “What did Charlotte say to you? Let me remind you that she’s just sowing discord between us. You had better not be such a fool—”
Before Jesse could finish, Chris ended the call and ordered, “Drive. We’re going to Fairlake.”
“Huh? We’re going to Fairlake now? But it’s three hundred kilometers away.”
His subordinates were surprised by the sudden decision to travel there.
“Just do it!” Chris snapped.
“Yes, sir,” the subordinate acknowledged.
At that moment, Chris was filled with anxiety, as his priority was to find out if he had been poisoned. Since all the hospitals in H City were under Jesse’s control, he planned to get himself examined somewhere else, which played into Charlotte’s hands.
Meanwhile, Charlotte received a call from Raina.
“Just as you predicted, Chris has gotten on the highway and is driving toward Fairlake.”
“It seems my words are working as they should.” Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly.
“I’ll get in touch with the hospital in Fairlake.”
“There’s no need to,” Charlotte interrupted. “He won’t get there.”
“What?” Just when Raina put the question across, the answer dawned upon her right away. “Are you saying that Jesse will stop him?”
“Yes,” Charlotte sneered. “Given how formidable he is, he must be watching Chris from the shadows.”
“What about your plan?”
“Don’t worry. I have achieved my objective as long as Chris’ suspicion is aroused.”
“In that case, what should we do now?”
“Find Robbie and rescue him as soon as possible. Once we do that, I can go against Jesse without holding back.”
