After a few seconds of silence, Charlotte said calmly, “This is the Nacht family’s matter. You shouldn’t
bother yourself over this, Ms. Gold.”
“That’s enough, Charlotte!” bellowed Nancy. “Can you tell me what happened? Aren’t you two supposed
to get married? Why was there a fire at Southridge? Why did Mr. Nacht go missing? Why—”
Instead of replying, Charlotte pressed the window switch silently.
“Charlotte, you—”
Nancy rapped on the car window angrily, trying to stop Charlotte. However, the window was already shut.
Ignoring her, Charlotte waved her hand, and the car drove away directly.
“Charlotte Lindberg!” Behind, Nancy stomped her feet in fury.
However, no one paid any heed to her. Charlotte’s car was already long gone.
“Ms. Gold is quite love-struck,” remarked Lupine.
“Yeah.” An unfathomable look crept into Charlotte’s eyes while she gazed at Nancy through the rearview
mirror. “Lupine, do you think that one will become smarter when in agony?”
“Probably.” Lupine stared at Charlotte worriedly. “What’s wrong, Ms. Lindberg?”
“Nothing.” Charlotte cast her eyes downward and saw her phone screen flickering. Lucy was calling her.
It looks like something is going on in the company. Have those troublemakers appeared already?
Charlotte answered the call without much thought. “Hello?”
“Ms. Lindberg, those at the headquarter requested to have a board meeting immediately. They insisted
on seeing Mr. Nacht.”
“What are they trying to do?” Charlotte frowned.
“Mr. Nacht’s schedule has been cleared for the past three days, so Mr. Sterk took his place in the board
meetings. As there were no updates regarding the wedding, and Mr. Spencer had fallen ill and is still
unconscious, those at the headquarter probably realized that something bad had happened to Mr. Nacht.
So…”
“Three in the afternoon.” Charlotte glanced at her watch. “I’ll attend the board meeting on time.”
“All right, I’ll relay the message.” Lucy continued, “Also, some important clients have requested to meet
Mr. Nacht. About the Gymnasium Project—”
“Let’s talk about it when I arrive at the office.” Charlotte frowned. “From today onward, I’ll go to the office
at three in the afternoon. Schedule the work then, and I’ll handle them all at once.”
“Understood.”
After hanging up, Charlotte barely had time to catch her breath before Johann called. “Charlotte, when
are you free? We need to meet.”
“Mr. Sterk, I have to attend a board meeting at three. I’ll arrive half an hour earlier, so shall we meet in
Zachary’s office?”
“Okay. Take care of yourself. The Nacht family is counting on you.”
“You too! Nacht Group and Divine Corporation depend on you.”
Her utterance hit a nerve in him, and his firm voice suddenly became hoarse and shaky. After a moment
of silence, he forced out, “I-I will!”
When Charlotte heard his response, tears welled up in her eyes. Having said a reply to him, she hung
up.
She did not want to cry anymore. If she did, her eyes would become even more swollen. Those in the
company might realize that something was amiss if they saw her in such a state.
Hence, she must and have to stay strong to face everything.
Since Zachary’s survival was still unknown, the fate of the family and the corporation were in her hands.
She must not let him down.
“Ms. Lindberg…”
Lupine hugged Charlotte, her heart aching for her. She yearned to console her but did not know what to
say.
In truth, Lupine was devastated as well. Ben was severely injured and was still in the ICU. Despite being
his girlfriend, she could not keep him company. That made her feel guilt-ridden.
She had never been superstitious in the past. However, she had begun to pray every day, hoping that
heaven would show mercy so that the disaster would end soon and everything would get better.
“Everything will be fine. It will.” Charlotte took a deep breath and reminded herself to pull herself together.
“Everything will get better. It definitely will.”
