“Mr. Nacht,” said Ben as he knocked and entered the room to report, “Ms. Lindberg is gone.”
“Is Ellie here?”
Zachary received a call from Ellie that day. She claimed that her mother would drop her off that day because she
wanted to pay her respect to her great-grandpa.
“No,” replied Ben while shaking his head, “Morgan called earlier and said that they will be here at around eight
o’clock. I’m guessing they’re trying to avoid something.”
“Okay,” murmured Zachary before he nodded and instructed, “Tell Cain and the others to be careful when they find
Sharon. Don’t act impulsively. Instead, call me right away.”
“Maybe we should just ignore the matter entirely?” suggested Ben carefully, “Ms. Lindberg is especially sensitive
about the matter, and it will be troublesome in the future if Sharon ended up making things even worse between
you and Ms. Lindberg.”
“Even so, we must keep an eye on the matter. If Charlotte and the police found Sharon at the same time, they
might get into a fight,” replied Zachary while frowning.

the spot. If the police saw that, they will have something over her,” said Ben while nodding.
“That is what I am most worried about. She has already decided to leave H City, so I can’t afford to let anything bad
happen at a crucial time like this,” said Zachary while looking grim.
“Understood. I will make the call right away.”
“Wait,” said Zachary, who was still too worried. He instructed, “Cain might not be able to do everything on his own.
Have Bruce take Marino to join forces with Cain.”
“Understood. I’ll relay the message right away,” replied Ben before he hurried out of there.
Just then, Robbie and Jamie entered with lentil soup. They said, “Daddy, you haven’t eaten anything all day. Here,
have some soup.”
“Thank you,” replied Zachary as he stroked his sons’ cheeks. He was touched by their gesture. He asked, “Did you
get to see your mommy?”
“Yeah,” answered Jamie happily, “Before she left, she secretly gave us both a hug at the back entrance. She even
said that she will drop Ellie off tonight. Is that true?”
“Yeah,” informed Zachary as he grinned at Jamie, “Mommy’s employees will drop Ellie off tonight. She wants to pay
her respects and see great-grandpa one last time.”
“Great,” said Jamie who was delighted, “Does that mean she is no longer sick?”
“Yeah, she has recovered. Your mommy won’t drop her off otherwise.”
Zachary sipped some tea. He had been so busy lately that he didn’t have any appetite in the last few days. Seeing
how his kids delivered the soup in person got Zachary to cheer up a little.
“I’m glad,” replied Jamie before he sighed a breath of relief.
“Daddy, did you get into a fight with Mommy again?” asked Robbie as he frowned and stared strangely at Zachary.
“No, we were just having a discussion, so don’t worry,” said Zachary as he stroked Robbie’s tiny head.
“Okay, then eat up and rest up. We’ll head out for now,” said Robbie after he nodded.
Then, he dragged Jamie away.
Zachary was about to chow down the food when his phone rang. The call was from Charlotte, and that surprised
him, so he quickly picked up the call. “Hello?” greeted Zachary.
“Did you send someone to come pick Ellie up?” asked Charlotte nervously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Huh? No, I didn’t. What’s going on?” asked Zachary, who was stunned.
“So it really isn’t you?” blurted Charlotte. She instantly panicked and shared, “Then who came to pick Ellie up? My
people said that it was the Nacht family’s car…”
As Charlotte spoke, she recalled something and immediately instructed her subordinate, “Find out where Peter
Jones is right now!”
“Understood.”
“Charlotte? What’s going on? What happened to Ellie?” demanded Zachary nervously.
“Someone took Ellie and Olivia away. If you weren’t the one who did that, then it is possible that Zara’s men did so.
Either that, or Sharon is behind this…”
“Where did they take them from? Was it your place?”
“Yes.”
“I will send my men and investigate the matter now. We’ll share information with each other in real-time. I am
blacklisted at the moment, so remove my name from the list for now. That way, my men can investigate much
efficiently.”
“Okay.”
When matters involved their kids, the two adults became in sync right away and were working together to locate
their daughter.
