The Nacht family bodyguard then hurried off to continue his search while Lupine stood there, clenching her teeth in frustration.
“I can’t believe we jinxed ourselves! Damn it, Marino shouldn’t have acted so impulsively! He’d arrive in H City tonight anyway, so what’s the point of coming back ahead of schedule? Now that Dr. Felch has been taken away, what are we going to do?”
“It’s pointless to get worked up about it now. Let’s go find out more about what exactly happened,” Charlotte said with a frown.
“Okay.” Lupine was about to start investigating further when her phone rang all of a sudden, and she went pale from shock after answering it. “What? Really? Okay, make sure you show him the best hospitality possible! We’ll be right back!”
Lupine then hung up the phone and glanced about cautiously before whispering something into Charlotte’s ear.
“Are you serious?” Charlotte asked in surprise.
“Oh, I’m dead serious. It’s one of Mr. Lindberg’s men.”
“Let’s head back right away!”
“Roger!”
Charlotte rushed all the way home as quickly as she could, only to see a white-haired old man sipping tea by the coffee table. There was a young man and woman standing next to him, and they were both bewildered when they saw Charlotte.
“Charlotte!” Hayley came running over and grabbed her by the hand as she screamed excitedly, “Is it really you? I’m not dreaming, am I? You’re alive! This is great!”
“Hi, Hayley! Oh, my goodness! Look how much you’ve grown!” Charlotte recognized her immediately and felt a surge of complicated emotions deep inside her heart.
“We thought you were dead! You have no idea how long we grieved!” Hayley sobbed while hugging her tightly.
Sam too, was extremely glad to see Charlotte. “They said you were still alive, but I didn’t believe it. I’m so glad it’s true! The guys from the Nachts had brought us over by force, and then we were snatched away by another group of men at the airport! That was so scary!”
