“It’s fine. You were just doing your job. This isn’t your fault. What Danrique did was right. Zara should be punished for her crimes. Since we can’t find her after she went into hiding, this is the only way to flush her out,” Charlotte said after slowly calming down and analyzing the situation rationally.
Lupine frowned. “But we’ve gotten Mr. Nacht caught up in the mess as well! Everyone is pointing their fingers at Nacht Group right now, especially those who aren’t in the business industry. They don’t know that Zara has cut ties with the Nacht family. The general public still regards her as a member of the Nacht family, so everything she does will be associated with them as well. I bet Zara is overjoyed seeing the chain reaction that’s taking place right now! She knows Mr. Nacht will do everything to resolve the issue or the entire family would go down with her. In other words, Mr. Nacht is the one most severely impacted by this!”
Charlotte went silent upon hearing that.
Of course, I know that! That’s why I called Danrique earlier to try and stop him, but he shut me down with a lecture before I could even get a word out! The fact that he’s doing it to avenge me removes whatever justification I have for my request. Henry is the one at fault, and while I may be willing to put up with it, that doesn’t mean Danrique would do the same!
“This will worsen the gap between you and Mr. Nacht. You must be feeling really upset, right?” Lupine asked softly while giving her a sympathetic look.
Charlotte shot her a cold glare in response. “What has Ben told you?”
Lupine quickly lowered her head to avoid eye contact. “N-Nothing… We had near-death experiences together while tracking Sharon down together, so it’s perfectly normal for things to get a little weird between us…”
Charlotte saw right through her excuses and let out a wry chuckle. “Huh… I haven’t even gotten my revenge, and he’s already stolen two of my closest subordinates from me?”
