With that, Charlotte left.
Raina was going to call Zachary when her phone rang. She walked to the side to pick it up. “Hello?”
“Are you at the Lindberg residence now? Is Danrique there?” guessed Zachary.
“Yes.”
“He didn’t bully the kids, did he?”
“No.”
“Okay, then work discreetly and carefully.”
“Understood.”
Raina sighed a breath of relief after hanging up. Ms. Lindberg’s text message to Mr. Nacht must be working. She
must’ve promised to keep the children safe to prevent any conflicts from arising. That is why he didn’te
rushing…
Charlotte was smart and rational. She may hate the Nacht family, but she would still put her children first.
She didn’t want the two families to fight in front of the kids because that would just hurt them.
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
Raina felt much safer aftering to that conclusion. She put her phone away and went to babysit the kids.
Danrique was already waiting when Charlotte entered the study room. Both Lupine and Morgan were punished and
injured. At that moment, they were kneeling with their heads down and didn’t dare to even breathe too loudly.
“I am the one who gave the orders. This has nothing to do with them,” said Charlotte while frowning.
“Their mistake is that they didn’t report the matter in a timely manner.”
Danrique was setting up a board game. His gold-framed sses added a hint of sophistication to him, but it did not
alleviate even a shred of cruelty in the aura he exuded.
“Are you referring to my kids?” asked Charlotte, who was facing the issue head-on. “I gave birth to them years ago,
and that happened before I was brought back to the Lindberg family.”
“So?” asked Danrique as he yed the board game with himself.
“I want to take them back and raise them on my own,” informed Charlotte. She was nervous, but she firmly
expressed her desires and added, “If you can’t ept them, then I am okay with leaving the Lindberg family.”
Charlotte made her decisionst night.
That was why she already had someone hire awyer and was strategizing on how to gain custody of the kids. She
was also looking into the price she would have to pay if she wanted to leave the Lindberg family.
“Leaving the Lindberg family? You have actually considered that?” growled Danrique, who paused his game. His
gaze turned fierce immediately.
Charlotte quickly exined herself, “I don’t want to leave. Everything will be perfect if you are willing to ept my
kids, but…”
“In other words, you will choose your children over the Lindberg family,” interrupted Danrique while looking right
into Charlotte’s eyes.
“Yes,” answered Charlotte without hesitating.
“Ms. Lindberg…”
Lupine was worried. She wanted to warn Charlotte and told her not to go against Danrique. It’d be dangerous…
“Have you thought about the consequences of your decision?” asked Danrique calmly as he reminded, “Leaving the
Lindberg family would mean losing all power and reverting to your old self.
“Think about it. Without a powerful family backing you up, everyone will go back to bullying you. Remember how
Mrs. Berry passed away? Are you really going to leave before you exact vengeance?”
Hearing those words got Charlotte’s heart to shiver. He’s right. If I leave now, I wouldn’t be able to get justice for
Mrs. Berry. Zara will alsoe after me and skin me alive…
And then there’s the ckwood family…
Charlotte had since be a diligent woman withbat skills, but without the Lindberg family, she would be
fighting the war on her own. There was no way she could beat anyone under those circumstances.
Plus, I have to protect my kids. I refuse to let them get hurt like Mrs. Berry.
“I’ve been training you for two years. Yet, the only thing you know is to be impulsive and push your luck. You have
really disappointed me,”mented Danrique icily.
“Ms. Lindberg doesn’t actually want to leave, Mr. Lindberg. She is simply worried about the kids, so please give her
another chance,” requested Morgan, who couldn’t help speaking up for Charlotte.
“It’s true. She is your only kin, Mr. Lindberg, so please don’t abandon her,” begged Lupine with tears in her eyes.
