Charlotte was not the slightest bit surprised, probably because she knew him too well and was mentally prepared. Even so, she asked softly, “How about the kids?”

“Bring them back. I want you to set off three days later,” Danrique responded right away, as though he could predict that she would ask the question. He hung up right after instructing her on that.

Holding the phone in her hand, Charlotte stared into space out of the window in silence. After quite a while, she finally broke the silence by instructing Lupine, “Get the South Sea project completed as soon as possible.”

“Noted, Ms. Lindberg,” Lupine replied respectfully with her head lowered.

“I will go up now to catch some sleep. Don’t wake me up unless there is something,” Charlotte dragged herself up to her room in weariness.

The moment of Zara scoffing at her before she breathed the last breath kept floating in her mind. “As a member of the Lindberg family, it’s a shame that you do not possess assertiveness and determination like them. You are indeed a fool by placing righteousness above everything and tend to be over submissive, just like the others from the Windt family!”
