Love Worth Fighting For

438 Big plan

Not wanting his efforts to go in vain, Christian decides to live in an apartment. The reason, of course, is because of Asher, Christian doesn’t want him to get out of control and beat up his foster brother. Especially now that there’s no one at home who can stop him if he fights with Asher.

After finishing freshening up in the bathroom, Christian then returned to busying himself in front of his laptop. The huge leak of funds at Muller Finance International made it very important to focus, because this problem is very serious. Even though the evidence that Kainer had accumulated over the years was enough to convict Asher, Christian still wasn’t satisfied. There is a feeling that is a little lumpy inside him at the moment, a feeling that forbids him from reporting Asher to the police.

While checking the files that Kainer sent from Luxembourg, suddenly a call came in on Christian’s cellphone, the cellphone he used to contact Charlotte this afternoon. The only number stored on the phone in particular is that.

“Cherry…”

“This is Uncle Chester, Christ.”

Christian immediately took the phone away from his ear, trying to reconfirm who was calling him at this time.

“Christ, you were there, right?” Chester’s voice came again.

“Y-yes Uncle, what’s wrong Uncle?”

“Can you come to Uncle’s house tonight,” Chester said quickly without preamble.

.....

Christian frowned. “Come to Uncle’s house tonight?”

“Yes.”

“What’s wrong Uncle, everything’s fine, right?”

“Charlotte,” Chester sobbed softly. “Charlotte fainted and she kept saying your name since earlier, that’s why Uncle wants you to come. Help Uncle this time Christ, Uncle is scared.”

Christian immediately straightened up. “Charlotte fainted, what happened to her? When she saw me this afternoon she was fine, she didn’t look sick at all.”

With a stuttering voice, Chester then told what happened to Charlotte after the girl arrived home four hours ago, several times Chester even burst into tears when telling about the condition of his only daughter. Chester tried so hard to convince Christian to come to his house.

“Okay, I’ll get ready right away. I’ll come check on Charlotte’s condition,” Christian said quietly.

“Are you serious?” Chester shouted loudly, Chester’s sadness immediately disappeared and this immediately made Christian flinch. Christian’s brain cells send a warning code to Christian.

Christian purses his lips. “Seriously Uncle, I’ll come and see how Charlotte is.”

“Thank you Christ, thank you very much. Uncle is waiting for you,” Chester said quickly.

Christian, who already had a lot of lessons from his previous mistakes, only smiled a little when Chester spoke, because he had to get ready immediately. Christian ended the phone call and prepared everything. As if he had read the plans laid out for him, Christian then called Ronin and Kainer simultaneously using a group call.

All the way to the Lloyd family residence which is not far from Lake Geneva Christian continues to communicate with his two confidants, Ronin who has extraordinary abilities in the cyber world easily obtains some important information belonging to Charlotte which is stored in his cell phone.

“Are you sure you will do this young master? The risk is too big,” said Kainer worried in response to Ronin’s explanation.

Christian smiled. “If Charlotte really has a special relationship with Johan, it means that it will be much easier for me to get information about that man, the cleanness of the man’s records makes me suspicious of him and Charlotte is my only chance to extract as much information about Johan as possible from him.”

“Yes, but the risk is too big, Charlotte has harbored such great love for you for years. It’s not impossible that this woman is currently harboring bad plans for you, of course you still remember how Chester Lloyd’s relationship was with your parents, right?” Kainer, who was so worried about Christian, unknowingly brought up Jack and Anne’s past, which had heated up because of Chester Lloyd.

Christian narrows his eyes as he remembers Chester Lloyd’s teasing of his mother, a story he heard from Luis when he was a teenager decades ago. Luis, who at that time did not like the close relationship between Christian and Charlotte, then told what Chester Lloyd had done to his parents in the past and since then Christian had kept his distance from Charlotte. Actually Christian is aware that his childhood friend has special feelings for him, but Christian chooses to pretend not to know and allows Charlotte to stay close to him.

“Of course I remember.”

“You do remember what the late Mr. Cobb said, don’t you?” Kainer drags Luis back into the conversation in an attempt to awaken Christian to the dangerous act he is about to commit.

Christian smiled. “Never mind that, even with all the lessons my grandfather gave me I still remember very well Kainer.”

“If you remember then why do you still want to continue with your plan? The fruit definitely won’t fall too far from the tree, and so does Charlotte. I’m sure her father’s disturbing soul was also passed on to her, especially as Charlotte is a woman. Her ego and lust must be far bigger than his father, so please reconsider your plan. Remember that you will now have children from Zwetta.”

The smile on Christian’s face immediately disappeared when he heard Zwetta’s name coming from Kainer’s lips, leaving without saying goodbye to his wife who was pregnant with his son made Christian suddenly suffer from such great longing.

“How is my wife now?” asked Christian quietly as he stopped his car on the side of the road, talking about Zwetta made him not concentrate on driving the car.

“Zwetta was sad and looked so disappointed on the first day you left, but on the second day her mood started to improve. The support and attention given by Mr. and Mrs. seems to have made Zwetta stronger,” answered Kainer honestly.

Christian tightens his grip on the steering wheel. “Is she crying?”

“For that I do not know, sorry.”

“Aren’t you telling the truth to your wife, sir?” Ronin chirped softly, joining in. “The plan you are currently carrying out is very risky and I am afraid that your wife will misunderstand.”

Christian shakes his head. “I have another reason for not telling Zwetta this plan.”

“But…”

“All she needs to know is one thing, her husband loves her so much and is so loyal to her.” Christian continues his words in a hoarse voice. “So she doesn’t need to know whatever I’m doing right now, especially if it has anything to do with Charlotte. A woman’s instincts are very sharp and I don’t want Zwetta to keep thinking about me and Charlotte if I tell her all my plans, so it’s better like this. Keeping everything a secret from Zwetta and my parents.”

Kainer and Ronin immediately fell silent, as people who already knew all of Christian’s plans both of them couldn’t say anything at this point. Because what Christian said was true, the risk would be too great if Zwetta found out what Christian’s plan was to do at this time.

“Please take care of my wife and tell her I love her very much, that’s all you need to say if Zwetta asks me.”

Kainer nodded slowly. “Yes young master, I will follow your instructions.”
