At Northridge...
Meanwhile, Charlotte had gotten a change of clothes and was lounging on the white leather sofa in her study room while talking on the phone.
She had found out all about Zara's news and knew how fatal the consequences could be for Nacht Group if the situation continued to worsen.
She then gave Danrique a call and was able to get through rather quickly.
“Hey, Danrique...”
“Are you home?” Danrique's tone was as cold as ice.
Looks like he knew about me staying over at the Nacht residence... In that case, he probably also knows what happened to me. I'm guessing that's why he got mad and did all this to avenge me! Charlotte thought to herself as she glanced at Lupine.
Regardless, she still felt the need to explain herself. “Yeah, I'm home. Ellie was very ill due to the poison, so I got worried and...”
Danrique cut her off coldly. “You could just bring the child back for treatment if you're that worried. The Nacht family isn't the only one with private doctors, you know?”
“Right...” Unlike most other sisters who would argue or behave coquettishly with their brothers, all Charlotte showed was admiration, respect, and obedience toward Danrique.
Of course, I haven't forgotten about my hatred for them! I've been searching for Zara and Sharon to get my revenge, but I just can't bring myself to hurt Henry and Zachary because of how much my kids love them! I don't even wish for what Danrique did to happen!
“I'm sorry, Ms. Lindberg... I got really mad when I heard from Jade about you being bullied at the Nacht residence. On top of that, your condition has relapsed, and you were short on your medication. I got worried about your safety, so I gave Mr. Lindberg a call. I didn't think he would blow things out of proportion like this just to avenge you. I'm really sorry...” Lupine apologized softly.
Ben would probably blame me for what happened if he knew about me telling on them. He told me a lot about Zachary and Charlotte when we were tracking Sharon down, and I found myself wavering after hearing the stuff he said. But then, I got all worked up when I came back and found out that Charlotte was bullied, and I made that phone call...
Lupine felt incredibly uneasy at the thought of that.
