Charlotte's words were cut short by the arrival of a subordinate. “I have horrible news, Ms. Lindberg. Someone from the Nacht family took Mr. Robinson and Ms. Elisa away!”
“What?” She paled as she realized how serious the matter had become. Pulling her skirt up, she ran as fast as she could after Zachary. “Hold it right there, Zachary!”
He ignored her and got into his car.
She plastered herself against the open window of his car and yelled anxiously, “Zachary, where did you bring the kids to? What are you playing at?”
Without sparing her a glance, Zachary had his car window rolled up.
The vehicle sped off, and Charlotte would have fallen to the ground if someone had not pulled her back.
Charlotte whirled around to see who had caught her. “Gordon? Quick, chase them down! Bring the kids home.”
Gordon scrunched his brows and said, “It's too late. The Nachts had been planning this for a while now. They planted their men in the manor as early as a month ago.”
Stunned, she asked, “What do you mean?”
“Do you remember asking someone to investigate why Fifi had been falling sick so frequently? It turns out that someone from the Nacht family had been drugging Fifi to prevent it from discovering their presence.”
Gordon continued, “About a month ago, Bruce smuggled a dozen of their best bodyguards into the manor. They were secretly protecting Alpha when she got lost; that's how she returned safely. They were initially assigned to protect you and the children. Last night, they went to meet Zachary and set their plans into motion.”
He then provided the last piece to the puzzle. “Zachary came to bring you home. If the Laurent family objected, his bodyguards would reveal themselves and fight off their men. I guess they didn't expect your incident from last night. Zachary must've made an impromptu decision to have the children brought away with him if you refused to follow him.”
