A Big Move
Without delay, Lucy went out to get the journalists.
Those shareholders and upper management were left bewildered. “What’s going on? We are having a
board meeting. How could we let the journalists come in here?”
“Have you gotten Mr. Nacht’s approval before you did that?”
“Absolutely!”
“Before Mr. Nacht came back, we had no choice but to let you run things. But now that he’s back, you
should know your place.”
Kallum’s words were filled with dismay and doubt.
Charlotte responded politely, “I invited the journalists in here to give a clear explanation in front of
everyone. I am sure we don’t want any confusion in the future, right?”
“Mr. Nacht should be the one making that call too.”
The shareholders expressed their protest. They did not think Charlotte was wrong but merely thought
she should not be the one making the decision.
“Charlotte’s opinion represents mine.”
“Zachary” finally opened his mouth. However, he still seemed to observe Charlotte’s response while
speaking.
Everyone turned even more displeased upon seeing that. However, they did not dare to say anything
since Zachary had spoken.
Soon, the journalists came in. They mostly asked about the recent news and the relationship between
Charlotte and Michael. No one touched on Zachary and Nancy.
“Zachary” answered all questions according to the way Charlotte taught him. He seemed more natural
in front of the journalists than facing those shareholders.
All the journalists’ questions could be answered with generally three answers.
First, Zachary trusted Charlotte completely and believed she was merely friends with Michael.
Secondly, they were united as a couple, and they had never disagreed on anything.
Thirdly, he did not feel well, and he was the one who transferred the assets to Charlotte and let her
manage the company.
“Zachary” expressed those three points clearly without any hesitation.
The shareholders and upper management’s hearts grew wary upon hearing his statement.
Those journalists intended to ask some questions further. However, Charlotte cast a look at Lucy, and
the latter swiftly invited them out.
One of the journalists suddenly asked loudly, “Mr. Nacht, we heard you are being controlled by Ms.
Lindberg. Is that true?”
Instantly, the room fell into dead silence. Everyone locked their eyes on “Zachary” and Charlotte.
“Zachary” did not show his previous domineering and calm aura. Instead, he looked panicked, as
though his lie was exposed.
“We heard that you got sick because you got poisoned. And it was the snake venom from the Lindberg
family. In other words, the Lindberg family drugged you in order to control you…”
That journalist continued to press on the topic. “Is that real?”
His questions left everyone utterly shocked and frightened.
“Zachary”’s expression darkened, his gaze filled with uneasiness.
The color drained from the shareholders’ and upper management’s faces. Kallum and a few
shareholders immediately surrounded “Zachary”. “Mr. Nacht, is that true?”
“Mr. Nacht, you don’t need to be afraid. There are so many of us. The Lindberg family won’t dare to do
anything to you.”
“Mr. Nacht, please tell us the truth.”
“Mr. Nacht…”
“Zachary” remained silent throughout the whole time. Sweat kept rolling down his forehead.
Charlotte narrowed her eyes, staring at him. I finally understand what their play is. That’s brilliant…
“Please ask the journalists to leave first.”
Right then, Johann opened his mouth.
Lucy immediately asked a few security guards to escort those journalists out.
The journalists were still busy taking photos of “Zachary” who had a panicked look.
