The Ultimate Trump Card
“Since I wronged Charlotte Windt two years ago, I will give half of my daily income to her as
compensation starting today. I swear to heaven that I will keep this promise till the end of time!”
It was a “debt repayment contract” written by Charlotte long ago. There was a date below, along with
Zachary’s signature and fingerprint.
Back then, Charlotte bit Zachary’s finger and made that fingerprint with his blood.
She thought Zachary was a gigolo at Sultry Night, so she forced him to pay the debt by selling his body.
Charlotte looked at the contract and realized it did not mention Zachary’s occupation and did not limit
the income.
Plus, even though they agreed that the contract should last for three months, the expiry date was not
mentioned anywhere.
In other words, Zachary was obligated to give half of his income to Charlotte based on this contract.
Could that be what Zachary meant?
Charlotte could not suppress her excitement as she immediately called Rodney.
“Ms. Lindberg, this is…” Lupine did not understand.
Soon, the call went through, and Charlotte immediately questioned, “Is the kind of contract signed by
hand and with a fingerprint on it legal? “
“Usually, it has to pass the appraisal and audit. But if other instructions are attached, there is no need
for the appraisal and audit,” Rodney answered professionally.
“I don’t think there is any instruction. How long will the appraisal and audit take?” Charlotte pressed on.
“What do you mean no instruction?” Rodney suddenly said, “The statement is with me all this while.”
“What?” Charlotte was stunned.
“The board meeting is at three. Now it’s already two-twenty. You should get ready to depart.” Rodney
smiled. “I will wait for you at the company.”
Upon hearing that, Charlotte came to a realization. It turned out Zachary had had a backup plan for her
all along.
He was worried that all parties would try to seize the assets after he was gone. Even if he transferred
everything to Charlotte, they would still use all kinds of conspiracy to go after her.
Hence, he hid a card up his sleeves.
This debt repayment contract, which was a joke at the time, seemed to have no legal benefit. But it
would be effective with a statement made by the lawyer.
Zachary knew it had to be used during a critical moment.
Thus, he let two inconspicuous parties, Hanna and Rodney, keep the two documents separately.
No matter how brilliant Jesse was, he would never expect them to have such a trump card.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Charlotte packed the contract and instructed Lupine to get ready. With
that, she rushed to her room to take a shower and got ready to head toward Divine Corporation.
Lupine wanted to bring some men with them, but Charlotte wanted to keep more men in the house.
She feared Jesse might go after her kids again.
As such, Charlotte only brought Lupine and Emma with her.
On the way, Charlotte’s phone rang again. Johann called to ask about the development, and she
replied briefly, “I’m on my way!”
“Are you coming here? Did you manage to come out with something?” Johann was utterly concerned.
“Of course, I did,” Charlotte said. “But I am afraid they might stop me from going there.”
“Leave it to me,” Johann responded right away. “I still have some power after staying in the company
for many years.”
“All right. See you later then.”
“Okay.”
Ending the call, Charlotte pondered for a while and sent a message to Helen: How is it going on your
end?
“I’m afraid I’ll need to take a few more days off. Ms. Gold…” Helen replied with a voice message.
