“The audacity!” A thunderous voice boomed from the courtyard.

Tensing up a little, Zachary quickly gave Louis a look.

“Charlotte, let’s go…” Louis got the cue and began dragging Charlotte into the car.

“Louis, what are you doing?”

Charlotte felt rather displeased, but with the bigger picture in mind, she eventually complied. Glaring at

Zachary, she uttered, “Zachary, you’d better give me a proper response tonight!”

Zachary frowned at her and did a shooing gesture.

The moment Louis got on the car, he urged the driver to get going.

Screech!

Just as the car left the courtyard, the gates opened, and Spencer emerged with Henry in his

wheelchair.

As they watched the car speed off in the distance, Henry’s expression darkened. “Who was the woman

who spoke just now? How arrogant!”

“Someone from Lindberg Corporation,” Zachary replied curtly.

“How preposterous!” Henry was enraged. “She was so rude and insolent the other day at Northridge,

yet she dares come knocking on our door? The sheer audacity of that woman! Spencer, go run a

background check on that woman!”

“Understood!”

“There’s no need for that.” Zachary immediately cut him off. “She’s Danrique Lindberg’s sister and the

second-largest shareholder of Lindberg Corporation.”

“I knew it! It’s no wonder that she’s obscenely rude!” Henry snarled.

Giving Zachary a scathing look, he then ordered, “Let me tell you this. Don’t let her off so easily just

because she’s a woman. The next time she tries something like this, you’re going to fight back on

behalf of the Nacht family!”

“Yes, I understand.” Zachary nodded profusely and even gave him words of reassurance. “Please don’t

worry. I know how to deal with people like that. I won’t let it happen again.”

She won’t be able to act that arrogant once she marries me…

“Good.” Henry nodded, feeling satisfied with his answer. “By the way, why is Louis with someone from

Lindberg Corporation?”

“She wants to network with him…” Zachary gave a vague answer. “That’s why I’ve been so caught up

with work these days. I’ve been dealing with this matter.”

“Louis gets swayed easily. And given his pure-hearted nature, you really need to have a good talk with

him.” Henry furrowed his brows deeper. “I’ll make a call to Robert later. We mustn’t let Louis get

scammed. It’ll hurt our family’s reputation too if something happens in our own district.”

“There’s no need for that too.” Zachary immediately tried to stop his grandfather. “I’ll take care of the

matter. Calling Robert might put Louis in trouble. He might even be forced to go back.”

“Alright, then. I’ll leave it to you. Now, go get some breakfast first,” Henry said.

“Okay.”

With that, Zachary began pushing Henry back into the house. He heaved a sigh of relief silently. That

was close. If he had come to the courtyard just a minute earlier, he would have seen Charlotte.

He had just avoided a confrontation that would stir drama simply because Spencer could not move as

quickly due to old age.

However, he knew that he had to get Henry to move elsewhere as soon as possible.

During breakfast, Henry continued to chide Zachary about being more caring toward Cynthia and

spending more time with her.

He also preached to him about how the Lindberg family had to be treated as rivals. “The worst that

could happen is our families confronting each other in the open. And that’s fine. Let us compete under

public scrutiny and see who wins!”

As Zachary listened on, he could not help but frown. While Henry had always been a cautious

businessman who always had the bigger picture in mind and never employed extreme tactics, he

seemed particularly hostile toward the Lindberg family.

It was evident that the conflict between the two families was deep-rooted and almost impossible to

resolve.

After breakfast, Cynthia brought up the three little ones during their conversation. Henry immediately

told Spencer that he would be going back to take care of his great-grandchildren.

That decision worked in Zachary’s favor, and he saw them off.

As he watched Henry’s car exit the hot spring resort, Zachary exhaled deeply, finally relaxing his

shoulders. However, when he turned around to discover Cain and Kyle standing there, his brows

furrowed once more.

It seemed that he could not let his guard down just yet.

Guess I have to keep up the act with Cynthia…

What an old, cunning fox!
