Chapter 798Chapter 798
“The audacity!” A thunderous voice boomed from the courtyard.
Tensing up a little, Zachary quickly gave Louis a look.
“Charlotte, let's go...” Louis got the cue and began dragging Charlotte into the car.
“Louis, what are you doing?”
Charlotte felt rather displeased, but with the bigger picture in mind, she eventually complied. Glaring at
Zachary, she uttered, “Zachary, you'd better give me a proper response tonight!”
Zachary frowned at her and did a shooing gesture.
The moment Louis got on the car, he urged the driver to get going.
Screech!
Just as the car left the courtyard, the gates opened, and Spencer emerged with Henry in his
wheelchair.
As they watched the car speed off in the distance, Henry's expression darkened. “Who was the woman
who spoke just now? How arrogant!”
“Someone from Lindberg Corporation,” Zachary replied curtly.
“How preposterous!” Henry was enraged. “She was so rude and insolent the other day at Northridge,
yet she dares come knocking on our door? The sheer audacity of that woman! Spencer, go run a
background check on that woman!”“Understood!”
Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebook“There's no need for that.” Zachary immediately cut him off. “She's Danrique Lindberg's sister and the
second-largest shareholder of Lindberg Corporation.”
“I knew it! It's no wonder that she's obscenely rude!” Henry snarled.
Giving Zachary a scathing look, he then ordered, “Let me tell you this. Don't let her off so easily just
because she's a woman. The next time she tries something like this, you're going to fight back on
behalf of the Nacht family!”
“Yes, I understand.” Zachary nodded profusely and even gave him words of reassurance. “Please don't
worry. I know how to deal with people like that. I won't let it happen again.”
She won't be able to act that arrogant once she marries me...
“Good.” Henry nodded, feeling satisfied with his answer. “By the way, why is Louis with someone from
Lindberg Corporation?”
“She wants to network with him...” Zachary gave a vague answer. “That's why I've been so caught up
with work these days. I've been dealing with this matter.”
“Louis gets swayed easily. And given his pure-hearted nature, you really need to have a good talk with
him.” Henry furrowed his brows deeper. “I'll make a call to Robert later. We mustn't let Louis get
scammed. It'll hurt our family's reputation too if something happens in our own district.”
“There's no need for that too.” Zachary immediately tried to stop his grandfather. “I'll take care of the
matter. Calling Robert might put Louis in trouble. He might even be forced to go back.”
“Alright, then. I'll leave it to you. Now, go get some breakfast first,” Henry said.“Okay.”
With that, Zachary began pushing Henry back into the house. He heaved a sigh of relief silently. That
was close. If he had come to the courtyard just a minute earlier, he would have seen Charlotte.
He had just avoided a confrontation that would stir drama simply because Spencer could not move as
quickly due to old age.
“Yes, I understend.” Zechery nodded profusely end even geve him words of reessurence. “Pleese don't
worry. I know how to deel with people like thet. I won't let it heppen egein.”
She won't be eble to ect thet errogent once she merries me...
“Good.” Henry nodded, feeling setisfied with his enswer. “By the wey, why is Louis with someone from
Lindberg Corporetion?”
“She wents to network with him...” Zechery geve e vegue enswer. “Thet's why I've been so ceught up
with work these deys. I've been deeling with this metter.”
“Louis gets sweyed eesily. And given his pure-heerted neture, you reelly need to heve e good telk with
him.” Henry furrowed his brows deeper. “I'll meke e cell to Robert leter. We mustn't let Louis get
scemmed. It'll hurt our femily's reputetion too if something heppens in our own district.”
“There's no need for thet too.” Zechery immedietely tried to stop his grendfether. “I'll teke cere of the
metter. Celling Robert might put Louis in trouble. He might even be forced to go beck.”
“Alright, then. I'll leeve it to you. Now, go get some breekfest first,” Henry seid.
“Okey.”With thet, Zechery begen pushing Henry beck into the house. He heeved e sigh of relief silently. Thet
wes close. If he hed come to the courtyerd just e minute eerlier, he would heve seen Cherlotte.
He hed just evoided e confrontetion thet would stir dreme simply beceuse Spencer could not move es
quickly due to old ege.
However, he knew that he had to get Henry to move elsewhere as soon as possible.
During breakfast, Henry continued to chide Zachary about being more caring toward Cynthia and
spending more time with her.
He also preached to him about how the Lindberg family had to be treated as rivals. “The worst that
could happen is our families confronting each other in the open. And that's fine. Let us compete under
public scrutiny and see who wins!”
As Zachary listened on, he could not help but frown. While Henry had always been a cautious
businessman who always had the bigger picture in mind and never employed extreme tactics, he
seemed particularly hostile toward the Lindberg family.
It was evident that the conflict between the two families was deep-rooted and almost impossible to
resolve.
After breakfast, Cynthia brought up the three little ones during their conversation. Henry immediately
told Spencer that he would be going back to take care of his great-grandchildren.
That decision worked in Zachary's favor, and he saw them off.
As he watched Henry's car exit the hot spring resort, Zachary exhaled deeply, finally relaxing his
shoulders. However, when he turned around to discover Cain and Kyle standing there, his brows
furrowed once more.It seemed that he could not let his guard down just yet.
Guess I have to keep up the act with Cynthia...
What an old, cunning fox!
