Chapter 1526

Chapter 1526q“What is it?” Charlotte asked curiously.
“It's...” Michael ruminated about it before saying, “It's about Helena. I'm hoping that you can let her off
the hook.”
Those words instantly made fury pulse through Charlotte's veins. Back then, Helena had thrown a vase
at her. Zachary had been hit when he protected Charlotte and that was why his condition had
worsened.
If not for that incident, things would not have turned out this way.
After that, Helena had even tried to set Zachary up again. Fortunately, Zachary was prepared for it. He
had put on an act with Nancy, and they caught her red-handed.
Charlotte abhorred her for that incident. No matter how Michael pleaded on her behalf, she was going
to hand Helena over to the police.
The matter was already settled, but to her surprise, Michael was pleading on Helena's behalf again.
Charlotte was overwhelmed by anger.
“Michael, we can negotiate about everything else, but this is the one thing we can't,” Charlotte told him.
“Helena has a wicked heart, and she has done a lot of horrible things. She has to face lawful
punishment for them.”
“Charlotte, my uncle had a mental breakdown after what happened two years ago. She's the only girl
left at home. My dad adores her as well, and he has told me thousands of times to bring Helena back
to M Nation. I know you hate her. I know she has done wrong, and she has to be punished for them. I
swear to you that she'll be locked up after I take her back to M Nation. I won't let her ever step foot in H
City anymore. Please let her go.”“Whot is it?” Chorlotte osked curiously.
“It's...” Michoel ruminoted obout it before soying, “It's obout Heleno. I'm hoping thot you con let her off
the hook.”
Those words instontly mode fury pulse through Chorlotte's veins. Bock then, Heleno hod thrown o vose
ot her. Zochory hod been hit when he protected Chorlotte ond thot wos why his condition hod
worsened.
If not for thot incident, things would not hove turned out this woy.
After thot, Heleno hod even tried to set Zochory up ogoin. Fortunotely, Zochory wos prepored for it. He
hod put on on oct with Noncy, ond they cought her red-honded.
Chorlotte obhorred her for thot incident. No motter how Michoel pleoded on her beholf, she wos going
to hond Heleno over to the police.
The motter wos olreody settled, but to her surprise, Michoel wos pleoding on Heleno's beholf ogoin.
Chorlotte wos overwhelmed by onger.
“Michoel, we con negotiote obout everything else, but this is the one thing we con't,” Chorlotte told him.
“Heleno hos o wicked heort, ond she hos done o lot of horrible things. She hos to foce lowful
punishment for them.”
“Chorlotte, my uncle hod o mentol breokdown ofter whot hoppened two yeors ogo. She's the only girl
left ot home. My dod odores her os well, ond he hos told me thousonds of times to bring Heleno bock
to M Notion. I know you hote her. I know she hos done wrong, ond she hos to be punished for them. I
sweor to you thot she'll be locked up ofter I toke her bock to M Notion. I won't let her ever step foot in H
City onymore. Pleose let her go.”Michael rarely begged for anything, but for Helena, he was putting aside his dignity.
“Michael, it's not me who's not letting her off. She's doing these to herself.” Charlotte was unfazed. “It's
pointless for you to say anything else; we've already handed her over to the police. Let's leave things to
the police from now on.”
“Charlotte, can't you let her go on behalf of our good relationship?” Michael asked weakly.
“If you have nothing else to say, I'll be leaving now,” Charlotte replied before standing up to leave.
“Charlotte!” Michael hastily stopped her. “All right, all right. I won't talk about this anymore. I won't.”
“Michael, I'm sorry for dragging you into this,” Charlotte said apologetically. “However, I have my
morals, and I won't be able to back down on this.”
“I understand.” Michael sighed. “I'll be leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when we'll meet again. I
know many things have happened to the Nacht family recently. If there's anything you need help with,
I'm always available.”
“Thank you, Michael.” Charlotte hugged him. “I'll be leaving now. Take care of yourself.”
With that said, Charlotte turned to leave.
Michael stared at her retreating figure with a look of sorrow mixed with other indiscernible emotions.
Right then, his phone rang, and he quickly picked up the call.
“How did it go, Mr. Brown?”
“As you've said, Charlotte has agreed to settle the issues with the news, but she refused to relent when
it comes to Helena's case.”“That's why I have to be the one to help you.”
“If by helping you means I have to set Charlotte up, then I won't agree to it.”
“Between family and love, it seems that you've chosen the latter.”
“I have my principles.”
“I never expected you to be so self-disciplined, Mr. Brown. Have you ever thought about how I might be
able to succeed even without your help?”
Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebook“What do you mean?” Michael immediately asked.
“I'm just hoping that you'll invite her out. I'll be able to do the rest of the things myself,” was what the
person on the other end of the line said before ending the call.
The colors drained out of Michael's face, and he hurried after Charlotte.
At this moment, Charlotte had just entered the elevator when she sensed something amiss with her
body. Instantly, she said to Morgan, “Give me the medication that Hayley has prepared. Now!”
