It Is Settled
“Exactly,” Chris added. “Don’t fall into her trap, everyone. She is holding a grudge against me for
kicking her out of the company. After all, her children aren’t mine. And now, she has even caused my
subordinates to turn on me so that she can seize the Nacht family’s assets.”
“Chris, you really are a shameless b*stard!” Lupine couldn’t help but curse.
“Shut up!” Chris snapped back arrogantly.
“Since everyone finds the agreement suspicious, let’s just get it verified.” Charlotte was already
prepared. “If you don’t trust Raina, we’ll get doctors from Serene Hospital to conduct the verification.”
“The staff at Serene Hospital are, obviously, in your pocket too,” Chris countered at once. “After all,
Spencer is now on your side after being bought by you.”
“Shut up.” Jesse glared at him.
He really is an idiot. How can he doubt Spencer at a time like this?
Given that more than half of the board members were groomed by Spencer, they naturally trusted him
unconditionally.
Unaware of that fact, Chris was puzzled as to what he did wrong.
“The agreement is genuine.” Holding the document up, Rodney showed it to everyone. “This debt
repayment agreement was written two years ago by Mr. Nacht for Ms. Lindberg. As for the
supplementary agreement, Mr. Nacht himself handed it to me before his accident.”
He continued, “At that point in time, the eight lawyers from Divine Corporation and I were present. All of
us watched Mr. Nacht draft the supplementary agreement in person. In fact, he even engaged a public
notary to bear witness to it. Consequently, the authenticity of the agreement has been put beyond
doubt.”
Finally, Rodney added, “The four public notaries present that day are right outside. If you need further
evidence, we can get them to come in here.”
Chris was shocked by the revelation. Even though he wasn’t familiar with commercial hostilities, he
was cognizant that eight lawyers and four public notaries were more than enough to attest to the
authenticity of the agreements.
Suddenly, Jesse’s expression drastically changed. After glaring at Charlotte with murderous intent, he
turned and left.
“Mr. Gold? Mr. Gold…” Panicking, Chris ran after him and asked softly, “You’re leaving? What am I
going to do?”
“Zachary sure is a shrewd man indeed,” Jesse murmured under his breath with gritted teeth. “I didn’t
expect him to leave a trump card behind in his absence!”
“Does this mean there’s nothing we can do to change it?” Chris grew anxious. “In that case, I—”
“The boat has sailed,” Jesse seethed through his teeth. “Now, you should just shut up!”
“In that case—” Just before Chris could say anything, Jesse had left in a huff.
Furrowing his brows, Chris didn’t know what to do. After pondering Jesse’s intentions, he figured that
the law was on Charlotte’s side. Hence, he had no choice but to allow Charlotte her stated share of
Zachary’s assets.
Nevertheless, considering that Nacht Group had been established for more than a century, he figured
that it would not be a big deal to give her just two and a half years’ worth of profits.
Feeling a sense of relief, he returned to the conference room and held his forehead with his hand. With
a grimacing expression, he lamented, “Well, after that terrible bout of sickness, I can barely remember
anything anymore.”
Now that the agreement had been proven to be genuine, he had no choice but to blame it on his poor
memory.
“Perhaps, I was blinded back then to have made such a stupid decision,” Chris fumed.
“Do you mean that you’re no longer doubting the authenticity of the agreement?” Rodney probed.
“To be safe, let’s get the public notaries to come in here and verify it,” Spencer suggested. “Given the
gravity of the situation, I wish for everyone’s patience as we clear the accounts.”
