Chapter 1249

“But now, we have no choice but to go against them. Let's think of how we can solve the problem at hand first.” Morgan felt unsettled. “Considering Lady Sherlyn's attitude, I don't think she will let the matter slide. Why don't we leave and return to either Erihal or H City?”

“Erihal is definitely out of the question, as we might add to Mr. Lindberg's troubles there.” Lupine gave Charlotte a look. “In H City, we have Mr. Nacht there...”

“It's too late to do anything now.” Charlotte stared in front of the car.

Raising her gaze, Morgan slowed the car down at once.

More than ten military vehicles had formed a barricade to block their way.

“It's the Laurent family's men.” Lupine frowned. “I knew it. Lady Sherlyn isn't going to let us off easy.”

“What do we do?” Morgan's expression turned grim. “Why don't we give Gordon a call?”

Just as she spoke, she took out her phone.

“We can't.” Charlotte stopped her. “Even if Gordon and his men are here, they wouldn't stand a chance against them. Furthermore, they need to deal with the assassins from Erihal and protect the children.”

“In that case, we...”

“We'll just have to go along with them.” Charlotte stared intently ahead. “I will have to face the consequences of my own actions.”

“Perhaps, that's for the best. After all, the few of us are here with you.” Lupine remarked defiantly, “I'm confident that the Laurent family won't dare lay a finger on you.”

“Mmm-hmm.” Charlotte ordered, “Slow down and drive ahead.”

“Yes.”

“Mr. Nacht, Lady Sherlyn has brought in the military to stop Ms. Lindberg and escort her back,” Ben reported.

“Mmm-hmm.” Lowering his gaze, Zachary continued sipping his wine.

“Everything is going according to your expectations.” Ben looked grim. “However, will Ms. Lindberg and the others be in danger?”

“Sir Robert knows where to draw the line. Now that there's no news of Mr. Lindberg, he wouldn't dare harm Charlotte yet.” Zachary was extremely calm.

Zachary downed the entire glass of wine to wash down the tablets.

“Don't act that way. The doctor said that if we can find Francesco and Dr. Felch, there might still be a sliver of hope,” Ben consoled softly. “We shouldn't be here struggling with Ms. Lindberg right now. Instead, we should return to H City to search for Dr. Felch.”

“Hope is only useful when comforting someone,” Zachary plainly remarked. “Life and death aren't important. What really matters is that we live life to its fullest!”

Not knowing what to say in response, Ben hung his head gloomily.

Despite having received treatment for the past two months, Zachary was still unable to rid the poison from his body. Although his condition had improved, he would still feel immense pain at night.

Having run out of ideas, the doctor suggested that they find Dr. Felch and Francesco as soon as possible.

However, given that Charlotte and Louis' wedding was around the corner, Zachary couldn't wait any longer. After getting the doctor to prescribe him some medications, he led his subordinates to Arkfield to pick up Charlotte.

Alas, what he got after arriving at Arkfield was not the happy ending he wanted but instead more heartbreak.
