Chapter 252


    I thought that I could protect you under my shield for the rest of my life, so you can just focus on living


    happily.But now, I might need to leave earlier without you. My heart aches thinking of how you will be


    left alone in this materialistic world, striving hard against the unpredictable storms of life... I could


    almost picture your hardship when I am no longer around. There will be a lot of unscrupulous people


    preying on you, applying all sorts of maniptive tactics to seize your assets. Looks like wealth and


    power have put you at great risk. I believe the only way to keep you away from their attacks is for you


    to not possess anything that could catch their attention. Hence, I did not n on stopping them from


    seizing my assets. After all, not much is left in my possession, so just let them go ahead and fight


    among themselves.But Lottie, I have created a backup n for you... The silver file contains details of


    a bank ount; it is a personal bank ount that I have opened for you earlier in S Nation.Since you


    reached thirteen, I have been transferring ten million annually into this bank ount. I have never


    withdrawn a single cent from it even when thepany was facing its financial crisis. I have assigned


    a trustworthy person to manage this bank ount. When you receive this letter after five years, the


    umted bnce of this bank ount will exceed a hundred million.This sum should be enough to


    afford your living expenses for the rest of your life. I hope you can live a simple life with a man who


    really loves you. It is indeed great happiness if you are able to spend the rest of your life in peacelOf


    course, this is just my vision. I have no idea if your life will be as peaceful as how I imagine it to be.I


    also have another backup n for you, in case you encounter any obstacles or crises that cannot be


    solved.Inside the silver envelope, there is a ck card aside from the bank ount details. There is a


    phone number on this card. When you are really helpless and have no other options, call that number


    to look for that person, and tell him your mother''s name. He will appear immediately.No matter how


    tough the difficulties are, he will be able to get them resolved for you I But Lottie, bear in mind: never


    ever call this number unless you are really in a helpless situation and have no way out. Once you call


    this number, it will lead you down a totally different path life...Remember! You must remember!


    Charlotte had mixed feelings upon finishing reading the letter. To her surprise, her father seemed to


    have many secrets...


    What is that family which Father couldn''t fight against?Does that family have anything to do with


    Father''s death?Who''s that mysterious person behind the phone number?Why will my life change


    dramatically once I give him a call?Howe he can solve all my tough problems?


    Charlotte was really puzzled...


    It really sounds like the magic door to a mysterious realm as in the fairy tales. Entering the door


    impulsively might lead to the opening up of Pandora''s box. Anyone would find this curious. How I wish I


    could understand the hidden truth!


    Charlotte opened the silver envelope and took out the ck card; there was a string of numbers


    handwritten in gold.


    It was an overseas phone number.


    Charlotte looked up that number on her phone and found out that it was registered in M Nation. The


    times, she had it memorized.


    Who''s the owner of this phone number?


    This question shed across Charlotte''s mind momentarily before she brushed the query aside.


    She put both the ck card and bank card into her purse and was about to browse through the photo


    album when her phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed that it was from Zachary.


    He had suddenly called her at this time and at this venue.


    Instantaneously, she felt intimidated with a sense of reluctance. She was in a dilemma of whether to


    answer it or not.


    In the end, she picked up the call, "Hello!"


    "I need to see you." Zachary emphasized his words in a tone that reflected tyranny and arrogance.


    "Now. I mean, now!"


    "I''m in the suburbs..."


    "Give me the address. I''ll get my man to fetch you," Zachary said domineeringly.


    Charlotte actually intended to tell him that she was not in the mood to meet at the moment, but she


    could foresee the consequence if she dared to say so...


    She took a deep breath and tried to sound as gentle as possible. "No need toe to fetch me.


    I can take a cab over. You''re at home now?”


    "I''m not at home. I''ve sent you the address. Check your phone."

    "Alright," Charlotte replied and was about to hang up the phone before Zachary added, "Half an hour!"


    "I''m really a great distance away..." He hung up the phone before Charlotte could finish her sentence.
