Zachary was obviously torn. To be honest, he had always viewed marriage as a useless institution.

Marriage was merely an act to maintain social order.

The commoners got married to procreate, remain warm in the winter and reduce living costs.

On the other hand, the upper class got married to benefit their businesses.

Marriage had nothing to do with love.

If Charlotte hadn't appeared, he wouldn't mind marrying anyone.

Hence, he couldn't be bothered when Henry interfered and chose his future wife. To his dismay, this led to the old man overstepping his boundaries.

Right now, he could change nothing.

Most importantly, as Henry used to be involved in shady businesses, he was a decisive and cruel man. If I offend him, Charlotte might be in danger.

At that thought, Zachary caved in.


“Good.” Henry's lips curved up smugly. He gave Taylor a signal.

Delighted, Taylor exchanged glances with his daughter, Sharon.

Soon, everyone on the stage was beaming in delight, except for Zachary, of course.

“Quiet down, everyone! Quiet down!”

The emcee started appealing for the media to quieten down. He then announced the start of the event before inviting Henry onto the stage.

Rounds of applause erupted in the hall.

Meanwhile, Charlotte sat in her seat, unmoving.

The other secretaries were asked to leave, so she was left alone with Spencer and his men.

Spencer greeted her with a polite smile. “Ms. Windt, we meet again.”

“You—”

“As Mr. Nacht wishes to discipline his grandson, please cooperate with us.”

Spencer was smiling, but he was giving off a horrible vibe. His polite request caused Charlotte to tense up in fear.

A chill ran down her spine as she realized the Nachts were no pushovers.

When they wanted to treat you well, they'd indulged in your every wish. She had seen how Henry adored the triplets and Zachary showering his love on her.

However, the moment one got on their bad side, they'd change drastically and descend like a devil who had just risen from hell, making their target lose it.

“I'm just someone insignificant. I can't change anything,” uttered Charlotte, her heart thumping rapidly. She forced herself to calm down. “You think too highly of me.”
