q“You say that because you think that what he has left is enough for him. However, his drop in status is like a fall from heaven to hell. That makes things completely different. Not everyone can handle that sudden change. Furthermore, his mother had committed so many evil deeds. I'm afraid that others from the Nacht family might not be kind to him. Some might even make things difficult for him, humiliate and scorn him. His life used to be smooth-sailing in the past, with people rushing to curry favor with him. When his life took such a drastic turn, he might not be able to handle it. It's possible that his personality would change...”
Charlotte gave a detailed analysis.
“You're right.” Bruce nodded. “However, I still think that he's not capable enough—”
“Don't underestimate your opponent,” she exhorted with a frown. “Chris might seem like a frivolous playboy, but he still carries the Nacht family's genes. This means that he's probably quite smart too. He used to be unmotivated and incompetent because he felt no pressure. However, when one is pushed to the wall, one's intelligence will return. Isn't that the same case for me too?”
“Um...” Stunned, Bruce quickly said, “Okay, I'll investigate it now.”
Charlotte sighed and got ready to head to the hospital. When she turned around, she discovered Danrique's triplets standing behind the door. With their heads popped out carefully, they stared at her with restless expressions on their faces.
“What's wrong, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma?” Charlotte took a deep breath. Forcing out a smile, she walked over. “I've been busy lately, so I didn't have time to accompany you. I'm sorry. After I'm done with—”
“Don't be afraid, Aunt Charlotte.” Alpha stretched out her hand and touched Charlotte's face gently. With a cute voice, she consoled Charlotte, “Uncle Zachary and Ellie will definitely get better!”
When Charlotte heard her comforting words, she could no longer hold her tears back.
She had been trying her best to stop herself from crying and remembering all those things, but Alpha's words made her break down.
“Don't cry, Aunt Charlotte!” Beta wiped the tears away from her cheeks and consoled her anxiously, “We'll look for Daddy and tell him to punish the evil man!”
“No one is allowed to bully you!” Gamma clenched her fists and declared furiously, “We'll protect you, Aunt Charlotte!”
Moved, Charlotte pulled the three kids into her arms.
She thought that they were too young to know anything, but to her surprise, they understood everything that was going on.
They knew that someone had burned Zachary's house down, causing him to go missing, Ellie and Ben to be in a coma, and the handsome Connor to die in the fire.
