“We can go against Ms. Nacht and Sharon, but Danrique…”
Ben trailed off. Just then, his expression darkened with the words he didn’t say.
The Nachts and the Lindbergs had always been equally matched.
However, the Nachts were burdened with Zara, who kept butting heads with Zachary. She had already caused so many problems for him, and now Danrique had the ultimate trump card on hand – Charlotte.
Thus, Ben was extremely worried.
If Danrique was planning to use Charlotte against Zachary, things would go very badly.
“Let’s take it one step at a time,” Zachary sighed with a frown. “Even if Charlotte hates me, she’ll still have the children in mind. She probably won’t become just another one of Danrique’s pawns.”
Zachary could barely believe his own words.
“Of course,” Ben nodded hurriedly. “If Ms. Windt learned the truth about what happened that year, she’ll definitely forgive you.”
Zachary stayed quiet and looked down. Would she really?
He might be able to explain most things, and she might be able to forgive him for a lot of other things. However, Mrs. Berry’s death and the torture that Charlotte faced were definitely going to be hard for her to forgive.
Despite that, Zachary knew he had to worm out the perpetrator so they could give Charlotte a proper explanation.
Zachary looked outside the window. Charlotte’s cars were already halfway down the mountain, which meant they were almost home.
In one of the cars, Charlotte started studying the gun. “Find out who owns this gun ASAP,” she told Lupine.
“Okay.” Charlotte nodded.
Charlotte looked out the window at the pitch-black night sky. Right then, her head suddenly pulsed as the image of a woman leading a big group of black-clothed men to kill her started flashing in her mind.
She closed her eyes and tried to make out the woman’s features, but she couldn’t put the pieces together.
A strong emotion started burning in her heart – vengeance.
She could already guess that the person who sent those people after her had to have something to do with what happened two years ago.
