q“This is truly despicable,” Lupine cussed. “What should we do next?”
“I...” Charlotte was about to speak when a dozen messages came through on her phone. When she checked, she
found that they were all links to news articles sent by Lucy.
Reports of the three kids not being Zachary's biological children were spreading like wildfire. Assuming Zachary's
identity, Chris held a press conference in which he vehemently leveled Charlotte with various accusations and
actively portrayed her as some reprehensible monster! Charlotte was shocked to say the least.
He even went as far as to confirm all the rumors about Charlotte's plots to kill her own husband and scheme after
the Nacht Group's wealth.
Public opinion was now stacked against Charlotte, and even the children were not spared!
Negative coverage of Charlotte was all over the internet, and some even went as far as to intentionally dig up dirt
on her father and other relatives to besmirch them.
In no time at all, the name “Charlotte Lindberg” became synonymous with “vicious woman.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoth the internet and major media outlets all derided her as the new era's she-devil. One of the titles read: Unable
to value a prize catch like Zachary, she had to climb the ladder by hook or by crook. The woman is ruthlessly
ambitious and completely unconscionable!
Charlotte was shaking all over when she gripped the phone. Although all of this was to be expected, she could not
stomach the awful language that was used by many netizens to denigrate her family and even her own children.
“This is too much!” Just listening to the things said on the news channel was enough to make Lupine livid. “Damn
that son of a gun, Chris! I wish that I could shoot him myself!”
“His wretched life isn't worth anything, but we still need him alive to lure out Jesse,” Charlotte sneered under gritted
teeth. “Rest assured that no good would come to him!”
“Ooh, this is so maddening!” Lupine thumped her fists against the steering wheel.
Charlotte closed all those tabs and then exited the browser. Afterward, she looked calmly to the outside of the
windows and exhaled, “Thankfully, Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie don't have to go to school now, and won't find out what's
happening out there.”
To that point, Lupine dared not continue that conversation. Without news of Robbie and Jamie currently, their fates
right then were the most important question...
Toot, toot—
At that moment, Lupine's phone suddenly rang, and she hurriedly answered, “Hello, Morgan!”
“Have you all ascended the mountain? Be careful out there.”
“Why? What's up?”
“I don't know which dastardly thing leaked our address in Northridge and the place is now swarming with reporters.
I've just chased some of them off but a couple of daredevils skirted around the side of the ridge to snoop on us.
Urgh, it's simply infuriating!”
That jolted Lupine into silence as she regarded Charlotte in shock.
Charlotte furrowed as she looked and met the former's eyes. Indeed, there was some media convoy driving off the
mountain and were variously coming their way.
“Damn it. This must be the doing of Chris and the others.” Lupine was incensed. “Shameless. Thoroughly
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmincorrigible. First, they kidnapped the children, then they lured the reporters to our home...”
“Jesse's methods are a real eye-opener.” Charlotte's eyes narrowed threateningly. “All's fair in competition for
business, but those who would stoop as low as he does are a rare breed!”
“Those cars are almost upon us. What should we do?” Lupine looked to Charlotte. “Should we try to avoid them?”
“Step on it. We'll go straight at them!” Charlotte commanded.
“Roger that. I'm on it!”
Lupine immediately hit the accelerator and sent the car hurtling directly toward the media vehicles coming their
way from the opposite direction.
Though this stretch of mountainous road was double-laned, there were many narrow and sharp turns that made it
extremely dangerous to navigate.
The cars across from them honked fervently and slowed down with urgency when Lupine's car barrelled toward
them without any inclination of slowing down.
That prompted those cars to brake abruptly, causing those behind to crash into a pile.
Before they knew it, Lupine's car had swept past them like the wind.
