Zachary had just sat down in his office when Taylor showed up.
Lucy poured Taylor a cup of coffee and got Zachary a glass of iced liquor before she left quietly.
“I’m so sorry for bothering you this early in the morning,” said Taylor. He rarely had to ask anyone for
help, so he sounded a little awkward when he continued, “I know I shouldn’t be disturbing you, but Mr.
Nacht said that he had already handed the corporation over to you and told me to talk to you directly,
so…”
“Mr. Blackwood,” Zachary cut to the chase, “Time is of the essence, and I don’t want to waste any of
yours, so let’s not beat around the bush. You are experienced in the business world, so I’m sure you’ve
already learned who the culprit behind all this is. Unfortunately, only the culprit can solve the problem, so
you should go to them directly.”
“I have investigated that matter, but I don’t understand. Why would Lindberg Corporation come after
Synder Group now?” asked Taylor with a troubled look. He pointed out, “The only connection between
the two families was the incident two years ago, but so much time has passed. They couldn’t be coming
after us for something like that, could they?”
“You’d have to talk to your precious daughter, Sharon, to get to the bottom of this,” replied Zachary in a
meaningful tone.
“You mean…” said Taylor as he turned pale, “Sharon offended someone from the Lindberg family?”
Zachary grinned without saying a word.
Seeing that, Taylor’s face contorted with anger. Immediately, he left and called his men. “Did Sharon go
to the airport? Stop her right now!”
“She really is a troublemaker,” commented Ben. He couldn’t help sighing before he added, “She wanted
to flee the country because she knew that she’s in hot soup. We’re lucky that Taylor came looking for
you. If he hadn’t, she would’ve gotten away with it.”
“So what if he learns the truth?” sneered Zachary. “Given Taylor’s style, it is likely that he will soften his
stance and find ways to fix the mistake she made.”
“You’ve already pointed him in the right direction, so it’s up to him to do the rest now,” said Ben before he
checked his watch and reminded, “Mr. Sterk and the others should be waiting for you in the office now.”
“Alright, I’ll be there soon,” replied Zachary as he walked to his desk. He signed a few documents and
urged, “Ask Bruce if he has located Dr. Felch yet.”
“Understood.”
Zachary didn’t have time to eat his breakfast. After signing a few important documents, he went into the
conference room to discuss matters with Mr. Sterk and the others. Then, he went to deal with the
technical problems arising from their new products.
Zachary finally got a break during lunch, but Bruce rushed over to report, “We’ve found Dr. Felch. He is
still in Phoenix City, but he moved to another location.”
“Send his address over and get the private jet ready. We’re heading to Phoenix City,” instructed Zachary,
who put his cutlery down immediately.
“Yes, Mr. Nacht,” replied Ben. He then left immediately to make the necessary arrangements.
Zachary downed his liquor in one go before he grabbed his coat and walked out quickly.
Bruce followed him and continued reporting, “I’ve obtained the information from Olivia’s phone and found
Hayley’s address. I also saw the messages in the chat room they share. Dr. Felch has regained
consciousness, but he is crippled by that accident. Sam is taking care of him now.”
“How are things with Olivia?” asked Zachary.
“Her emotions are unstable., and she keeps cussing. She also accused you of killing Ms. Lindberg and
Mrs. Berry and blamed you for locking her up. My men are keeping an eye on her, so she is fine for now,
but I’m worried that she will go bonkers if this drags on.”
“It won’t take long.”
Zachary checked his watch. I probably won’t be able to wait until the kids are back from school.
He rushed home to pack his luggage and get his travel documents. Unexpectedly, Robbie stayed home
that day and was playing a board game with Henry in the study room. Both the elderly man and the kid
were pleasantly surprised to see Zachary home.
“Who’s winning?” asked Zachary as he changed into a more comfortable outfit.
“It’s a draw for now,” answered Robbie while staring at Zachary. Then the former asked, “Daddy, why are
you home at this hour?”
