“I wanted Morgan to go at first, as Marino is easier to deal with. However, I thought about it and felt that Morgan is more careless, so I’ve decided to send you instead,” Charlotte said in a grim tone. “Ben is Zachary’s trusted subordinate. If there’s anything wrong with Zachary, Ben will certainly know.”

 

“I understand.” Lupine nodded. “Don’t worry, Ms. Lindberg.”

“Remember, you have to be sneaky about it,” Charlotte reminded. “Ben is a wary man. Your first step is to attack him through the emotional route. When he’s caught off guard, find out about Zachary’s condition from him.”

“Got it.” By then, Lupine’s face was a little red. “I, too, thought that something was up when they were leaving earlier. Ben was supporting Mr. Nacht carefully as if the latter was going to fall at any time.”

“I know what you mean.” Charlotte was fighting a rising panic, and that was why she was sending Lupine to find out more. “All right. It’s almost time now. Hurry along.”
