Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby novel Chapter 1571

That show of strength really had its desired effect as those paparazzi were left pallid and gasping in relief. Rokan Hill's a perilous place with dangerous roads and a frequent haunt of street racers. Out of considerations of safety, it might be better to not come back here again.

While they were engaged in discussion, the roaring of beasts reverberated from within the wilderness, and several eagles started to circle in the air as well. That spooked them enough to jump into their cars and scoot off.

“Bunch of sickening cowards,” Lupine cussed as she drove.

Charlotte stared at the skies beyond the windows at those soaring eagles. “Did you hear that just now?”

“Could be some wild animals,” replied Lupine, seemingly unbothered.

“You'll get that here sometimes. They probably came out in protest after being alarmed by these people.”

Quietly lost in thought, Charlotte merely teared up a little.

A while later, she picked up the phone and called Gordon to ask about his progress on Zachary.

“We were working on some leads yesterday, but nothing came of them.” Gordon sounded a little disappointed when he spoke. “Goddammit. I've never felt this defeated in years.”

“I really have to hand it to this Francesco. With so many people tracking her, she could still manage to vanish without a trace with an unconscious man in tow. Now I can see why Sean has been telling me that she's a monster and the one person in this world apart from Mr. Lindberg that you don't want to mess with!”

“Uh...” Rarely had Charlotte heard Gordon having so much to say in one sitting, and also communicate with this much emotion. Even more unexpected, was for him to encounter someone who had impressed him for the very first time.

“Several of my men had been knocked out by her gas and hasn't come to yet,” Gordon continued to cuss away. “Of course, the Gold family are doing comparatively worse off on their end as nobody they sent after Francesco managed to get back in one piece. I think they might have been scared off, seeing how they seemed to have reined it in a little today.”

“Where are you now?” Charlotte asked.
