Chapter 1557

Chapter 1557qThose words don't sound like anything that Zachary would ever say.
Spencer stared at him, and his frown deepened.
“Just sign, Ms. Lindberg,” Rodney said quietly. “It'll be better for everyone.”
Without another word, Charlotte simply picked up the pen and signed her name onto the documents.
Chris' eyes lit up at the sight of the thick sheaf of papers.
Even Kallum was clearly excited.
“Good,” Spencer said in a low voice at the sight of Charlotte's signatures. “You can leave now. I will
settle things with the board of directors.”
Charlotte remained silent and glared at Chris before turning to leave.
Immediately, Morgan and the other two bodyguards followed closely behind her.
The bodyguards opened up a path for them to walk through while everybody else simply stared at
them.
Lucy continued watching Charlotte with the intention to go and talk to her, but in the end, she simply
remained rooted to her spot.
Everyone in the president's office watched as Charlotte left, but none of them dared to come up and
talk to her.
Some executives even cursed, “She was let off too easily.”
Meanwhile, Charlotte, Morgan, and the others walked into the elevator.It was about to close when Johann suddenly emerged from the crowd and said softly, “Take care of the
kids, Charlotte! I know we'll meet again.”
Charlotte nodded quietly.
After walking out of the elevator, she got into the car.
Morgan finally exploded, “What the hell was up with all those people? They're so shameless! All they
do is trim their sails to the wind.”
“Hasn't Lupine replied?” one of the bodyguards asked carefully. “Have they found Mr. Nacht?”
“It's impossible to find him this quickly,” Morgan said in disappointment. “While waiting for the results, I
was in contact with Lupine the whole time. They've been putting their all into looking for him, but
nothing's coming up.”
“Then what was the phone call from before?”
“I purposely asked Lupine to make the call,” Morgan replied. “We wanted to get to that imposter and
make him think we already found Mr. Nacht so that he would panic and hopefully expose himself.”
“I see!”
The two bodyguards nodded in surprise.
“We would have succeeded too if it weren't for the mastermind calling him at the last minute,” Morgan
said angrily. “Ms. Lindberg was doing so well! That imposter was no match for her, but that mastermind
truly does have a few tricks up his sleeve.”“You're right.”
“Morgan!” Charlotte said urgently, suddenly remembering something. “Go to Garden Villa and pick up
the kids right now.”
“All right,” Morgan said, instantly starting the car.
“Call Gordon and ask him to arrange for people to greet us there,” Charlotte continued.
“Understood.” One of the bodyguords immediotely mode the coll.
“Drive foster, Morgon.”
Chorlotte hod o bod feeling thot thot evil mon would do something to her kids. If they monoged to get
their honds on her kids, she wouldn't hove onything left.
With her soft spot in their honds, oll she could do wos occept her fote.
“Ms. Lindberg, I con't get through to Gordon,” one of the bodyguords soid onxiously. “Whot do we do?”
“Coll Lupine ond tell her to return first.”
Chorlotte wos reolly beginning to ponic now. She wos finolly owore thot she moy hove underestimoted
the mostermind.
Before thot, she hod ossumed thot she wos doing well ond thot everything wos going her woy, but only
now did she reolize thot everything hod been in Jesse's control the whole time.
Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebookFor every step thot she mode, he wos olwoys one step oheod of her. He hod monoged to predict
everything she would do ond even used Chris os o pown for his plon, moking her ossume thot he wos

Even now, he hod complete control over every single detoil. If he got his honds on the kids, there wos
nothing they could do even if Zochory returned.
“Understood.” One of the bodyguards immediately made the call.
“Drive faster, Morgan.”
Charlotte had a bad feeling that that evil man would do something to her kids. If they managed to get
their hands on her kids, she wouldn't have anything left.
With her soft spot in their hands, all she could do was accept her fate.
“Ms. Lindberg, I can't get through to Gordon,” one of the bodyguards said anxiously. “What do we do?”
“Call Lupine and tell her to return first.”
Charlotte was really beginning to panic now. She was finally aware that she may have underestimated
the mastermind.
Before that, she had assumed that she was doing well and that everything was going her way, but only
now did she realize that everything had been in Jesse's control the whole time.
For every step that she made, he was always one step ahead of her. He had managed to predict
everything she would do and even used Chris as a pawn for his plan, making her assume that he was
merely on the same level as Chris.Now, she finally realized that he was using Chris' incompetence to hide his actual capability.
Even now, he had complete control over every single detail. If he got his hands on the kids, there was
nothing they could do even if Zachary returned.
