Leaving it at that, Sean returned indoors.

After getting into her car, Sean's last sentence echoed through Charlotte's head.

She knew what Sean had meant. Given Danrique's character, he wouldn't have accepted any of the Nacht's children.

However, the moment he saw Robbie, he saw himself in him.

When she arrived today and brought Robbie out of the car, Danrique's gaze was momentarily stunned. It was as if he saw himself when he was ten.

Amidst a similar snowstorm, Isabella had led him out of the car at the exact same spot and brought him back to the Lindberg family.

At that moment, Danrique was overwhelmed with emotions.

Hence, when Robbie messed around in the Lindberg residence, he didn't reprimand him despite seeing through Robbie's ploy.

He was exceptionally accommodating to both Charlotte and her son because of the debt of gratitude he owed Isabella.

Also, he saw himself in Robbie.

Suddenly, Charlotte realized that she had never truly understood Danrique. All she saw was his cold and ruthless side.

She wasn't aware of how much he had done for her.

Furthermore, he wouldn't have done the same for anyone else.

As Charlotte looked out the car window at the grim-looking castle, her heart was overflowing with guilt.

"Mr. Lindberg is especially good to you," Lupine couldn't help but lament. "You are probably the only person in the world he has a conscience for."

Lupine's words couldn't be more apt.

Danrique had always been a domineering and ruthless person to everyone else.

The only person who could elicit some form of kindness from him was Charlotte.

"I should do something for him." Charlotte felt unsettled. "Lupine, can you investigate who wounded Danrique and what is going on with Lindberg Corporation recently?"

"Ms. Lindberg, we had better stay out of it." Lupine advised at once. "Besides, not only do I not dare meddle in Mr. Lindberg's affairs, but I also won't be able to replace anything. Furthermore, he must have his reasons for not wanting you to be involved. In fact, your persistence might cause his plans to backfire."

"Are you suggesting that I do nothing?" Charlotte was filled with desperation.

"I propose that you comply with Mr. Lindberg's arrangements and quietly observe the developments," Lupine suggested implicitly.

"Arrangements..." Charlotte mumbled as she was cognizant of what it meant.

Since Danrique had arranged for her to meet Robert, it would mean that she should accept the marriage proposal in the interest of the bigger picture.

He had given her an alternative only because he didn't want to force her.

After all, he had told her that it was fine not to marry Louis and there was plenty of fish in the sea. Even if she didn't remarry, she could still live a good life with the Lindberg family. However, after Sean's reminder, she felt that the matter was more complex than she had assumed.

Danrique's injury indicated that the Lindberg Corporation was in a crisis. Also, their enemy was exceptionally strong.

At that moment, she knew she couldn't add to his burden.

Suddenly, she remembered Robert mentioning that Donald was trying to canvass the Laurent family for support. It wasn't until Danrique admonished him that Robert played down his comments. Although they seemed to be talking about the marriage, Robert was trying to imply that their families' alliance was tied to the marriage.

If it failed, he would choose to side with Donald.

No wonder Sean brought up the Gymnasium Project in F Nation. He was trying to imply that it would be devastating if we lost F Nation's market, especially after I have just lost the project at H City. With that thought in mind, Charlotte let out a deep sigh. "The business world is just like a warzone. Their way with words is so confusing that I took such a long time to read between the lines."
