Chapter 309
Charlotte stood motionless, watching the familiar figure draw closer. Through the rain, his sharply defined features gradually came into focus.
With each step, the cold edges of his handsome face seemed to soften, as if the mist itself had gentled his expression.
Sean stopped in front of her. His dark eyes shimmered with warmth and joy. His voice was low and hoarse. “Lottle…”
Charlotte looked up at him, her gaze cool and steady. “What is it?”

Sean swallowed hard “Jodie has been rescued.”
Charlotte’s eyes flow wide open. Her voice rose instinctively. She took a step forward, her expression suddenly alight with hope “Really? Where is she? Is she back in the country? Take me to her!
Sean’s voice remained gentle. “Yes. She just arrived in Jersey City. That’s why I came to find you”
“I’m coming with you,” Charlotte said, her eyes brimming. “Thank you…”
Sean’s throat tightened. His voice came out rough. “You don’t need to thank me”
They walked to the car together. Sean opened the door for her, instinctively bracing his hand over the doorframe so she wouldn’t bump her head.
Charlotte noticed. Her lashes quivered, but she said nothing as she got in
Sean closed the door and quickly moved to the driver’s side.
As they drove, they stopped at a red light. Glancing at the rearview mirror, Sean asked softly, “Do you want to grab some breakfast first?”
Charlotte shook her head. “No. I just want to see Jodie as soon as possible.”
“Alright.” Sean did not press further.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to Luke.
“Have breakfast ready. Get crab quiche, croissants, oatmeal, and a smoothie ”
These were all Charlotte’s favorites.
Luke replied quickly. “Got it, Mr. Jesper.”
Inside the car, it was just the two of them.
Silence settled between them
When the light turned green, and the car began to move, Charlotte suddenly asked, “Was it the police who rescued her, or your men?”
“Are t
they alright? Was anyone hurt?”
He replied, “Joseph was holding Jodie in a military facility in Anne City. His people were armed. Some of my men were seriously injured.”
Just as he expected, her face grew tense the moment she heard someone had been injured
