Seeing they had all left, Charlotte came out of her hiding spot. Gazing at the departing silhouettes of the two children, her eyes were filled with uncertainty.
Both Lupine and Morgan who were hiding on the stairwell upstairs also emerged awkwardly. They looked at her cautiously, not knowing what to say.
After a long while, Charlotte regained her senses and left…
Getting on the car, Lupine quietly asked, “Do we head to South Sea villa now?”
“To Northridge.” Charlotte lowered her head with a heavy heart.
“This… Wouldn’t Zachary soon find out that we have not returned to Erihal?” Lupine followed up quietly.
“You took Zachary too lightly,” Charlotte laughed bitterly before adding, “He should have known this!”
“Right.” Lupine refrained from saying more.
“Let Peter go,” Charlotte ordered. “Let him know that Olivia will contact him soon. Also, get her to come to me when the time comes.”
“Aye.” Lupine immediately acknowledged the order.
“Ms. Lindberg, are you saying that Zachary already knew that we have caught Peter?” Morgan asked incredulously before noting, “You think he’ll release Olivia soon?”
“We’re a conniving bunch.” Charlotte laughed coldly. “He should have known that his cover has been blown. Instead of continuing his charade, he should just come out clean!”
“Then, should we continue our investigation?” Morgan asked.
“Forget it.” Charlotte narrowed her eyes and remarked dangerously, “I’ll wait for him to come before me!”
“Understood!”
…
Meanwhile, Zachary landed at H City airport.
Bruce came to pick him up and reported, “Just around an hour ago, Peter was released.”
