Chapter 1143
After ending the all, Louis asked his father worriedly. “Dad, what is Zachary doing? Does he not hate me? Why did
he increase his investment instead of withdrawing?”
“I find it weird too.” Robert could not understand why. “Judging from his personality, he wouldn't have done this...”
Although the Zachary they knew would always seek revenge, he was repaying a grudge with favor now. Is there
something wrong with him?
“Does Zachary want me to drown in self-guilt?” The more Louis thought about it, the more worried he became.
“No, I must call him!”
“You can call him, but you must only talk about work. You mustn't mention any private matters at all.” Robert
instructed him, “If he asks about the marriage, just give a yes or no answer. Don't say anything else, okay?”
“Why?” asked Louis
“Just follow my instructions!” Robert became impatient.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Oh.” Louis immediately called Zachary. The phone rang for a while before the call was answered. A familiar voice
sounded. “Hello?”
“Z-Zachary...” Louis became so nervous the moment he spoke that even his voice was trembling.
“What's up, Louis?”
On the other hand, Zachary seemed quite calm, as if nothing had happened between them at all. It was like they
were still best friends like before.
“I-I just called Mr. Murphy and he said that you've increased your investment, right?”
Louis was stuttering like a little boy who had committed a mistake.
As Robert watched him from the side, his temper flared.
“Yeah,” replied Zachary. “It's your first project, so you must do a good job and prove yourself to the royal family!”
When Louis heard that, he was extremely touched. However, a wave of embarrassment surged through him too...
Meanwhile, Robert frowned. What is Zachary planning? Is he resorting to an appeasement tactic?
“They've told you already, right? We'll meet you at Pillere. You should quickly pick a date to kickstart the project.”
“I know. And you... “
“I've been busy recently, so I made Lucy in charge of communicating the details to your side. After the project's
done, I'll go over and take a look.”
“Then...”
“That's it! I'll go keep my child company.”
Before Louis could finish his sentence, Zachary ended the call.
As Zachary had control over the entire conversation, Louis had no opportunity to express his thoughts or even wait
for him to ask about the marriage...
After the call, Louis' unease and guilt increased.
He thought that he had let Zachary down. Not only had he snatched the woman whom Zachary loved away, but he
had also misjudged his friend grossly!
Instead of blaming him, Zachary helped, supported, and consoled him.
“This must be part of Zachary's scheme. You mustn't fall for it!” reminded Robert quickly. “He's not someone to be
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtrifled with. Regardless of his relationship with Charlotte, he won't give up so easily if someone threatens his
interests.”
“Daddy, stop insulting Zachary.” Louis was furious. “How can you say that about him when he's so nice to me?”
“Louis...”
“Okay, that's enough. I want to rest now. “
Annoyed, Louis pushed his father out of the room and shut the door. Then, he held onto his phone, unable to calm
down for a long time.
Meanwhile, in H City, Zachary was sitting on a chair in Ashenville Garden.
While watching Jamie play soccer on the field, he narrowed his eyes. A cold glint flashed across them.
“I've found out.” Ben rushed over and reported softly, “Ms. Lindberg has agreed to it. Although it has not been
announced yet, they're probably going to do it soon.”
“What about the Lindberg Corporation?” asked Zachary.
“Danrique is currently encircled by enemies, facing both internal threats and external problems. The reason why he
supported this marriage was probably that he wanted to provide Ms. Lindberg with a backup plan.”
