Another war will break out if that happens! While I couldn’t care less about Henry’s safety, the kids would surely be upset and traumatized if anything happens to him. It’s better if I play the role of the bad guy instead.
With that in mind, Charlotte put her phone away and turned toward Dr. Felch as she said, “Dr. Felch, you can rest well here at my place while I go pick my kids up.”
Dr. Felch nodded. “Okay. Remember to keep things peaceful!”
Charlotte was a little surprised to hear that, but chose to say nothing about it. Dr. Felch seems to know about the feud between our two families… There’s more to what he said than meets the eye!
She then thanked him and said goodbye to Hayley and Sam before giving Zachary a call in her room, “Have you taken Ellie to your grandpa’s?”
Zachary understood what was going on the moment he got her call and responded to her question with another, “Did your men take Dr. Felch to the Lindberg residence?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Charlotte admitted to it right away.
Zachary’s tone grew cold. “Danrique did it, right? What’s he playing at?”
Charlotte snapped back at him, “Need you even ask? Isn’t it obvious? Your family went overboard! Danrique is simply avenging me.”
Zachary got mad all of a sudden. “What is he trying to do? Was what he did to Nacht Group not enough? Taking Dr. Felch away like that would only delay Ellie’s treatment! Could you guys not affect the children with adult matters?”
“Her treatment won’t be delayed. Bring Ellie over to my place now, and I’ll have Dr. Felch treat her right away,” Charlotte said coldly.
“Charlotte…”
“You bring her here, or do I have to go pick her up? You choose!”
Charlotte had learned a lot from Danrique’s methods of intimidation, and it proved to be effective as it rendered Zachary speechless.
He knew Charlotte would really arrive with a bunch of SUVs and dozens of her female bodyguards to take Ellie away by force.
That would result in a nasty war between the two families! Looks like I’ll have to play the role of the bad guy, then.
With that thought in mind, Zachary decided to give in. “Fine, I’ll go discuss this with my grandpa. Wait for my update.”
“No, I don’t need you to discuss it. I need you to get it done. Bring my child to me by 7:00 p.m. or I will go take her by force. Don’t blame me for disrespecting the elderly, then!” Charlotte hung up immediately after saying that.
Zachary clenched his teeth in anger when he heard the line go dead, and he let out a helpless sigh as he looked at a picture of them on his desk. “You were a lot cuter and gentler two years ago…”
She used to be completely helpless and at my mercy back then, but now… Things have changed, and I’m the one who fears her instead…
“Mr. Nacht, we’ve just found out that…”
Zachary cut him off, “The Lindbergs have taken Dr. Felch, right? A bit late on the report, don’t you think?”
“I am terribly sorry for my incompetence, sir.” Bruce lowered his head apologetically.
Zachary tossed his pen aside. “Enough. Get the car ready, we’re heading over to my grandpa’s.”
“Right now?” Bruce was confused. Why would he be going there all of a sudden when the company is in utter chaos right now? There’s so much work waiting for him!
“Duh!”
“R-Right away!”
Lucy came running over the moment Zachary stepped out of the office. “Mr. Nacht, I have a few documents here that require your signature!”
“Leave them at my desk, I’ll sign them tomorrow.”
Zachary couldn’t care less about those documents and simply rushed over to the elevator. It’s almost five in the evening, and Charlotte would go barging into Grandpa’s house if I don’t deliver Ellie to Northridge by seven! Things would get messy, then!
“But these documents are urgent, Mr. Nacht! Mr. Nacht!”
