Louis wasn’t particularly irked. Instead, he responded with a courteous smile.
Charlotte tucked Ellie in after the little girl finished the doctor’s medicine.
Once she made her way out of her daughter’s room, she saw Louis was in the middle of a chess session with Dr. Felch.
Charlotte thought it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to consider Dr. Felch everyone’s sweetheart since he could get along with almost everyone.
Well, it’s great they can easily get along with one another since we’re going to spend the upcoming two months together.
Things were fine for the Lindberg family, but things were extremely chaotic for the Nacht family.
The news of Henry appointing his great-grandchildren as the inheritors of his will took the rest by surprise since no one could make use of his asset until the three little ones came of age.
Zachary was in dire straits due to the financial predicament of Nacht Group. To make things worse, Zachary couldn’t rely on his grandfather’s assets to resolve the issue since his children were the inheritors.
On the day Henry passed on, Zachary spent the entire day sorting out all sorts of arrangements. He took a short nap in the car on his way to the conference with the board of directors.
The members of the board of directors made their way there from all around the globe over the night. Similarly, Nacht Group’s legal team had gathered around.
The conference lasted for four hours. In the end, Zachary proposed resolving the issue with his personal asset. On top of that, he would acquire a loan from the banks.
Along with two members of the board of directors, Johann assured Zachary he would support him the moment Zachary brought up the request to gather funds from them. However, some of them couldn’t help but wonder about the identity of his children’s mother.
They had heard rumors of the little ones’ mother being a member of Lindberg Corporation. Thus, they were afraid it would be over for Nacht Group the moment Lindberg Corporation acquired ownership over the company.
After all, Lindberg Corporation was one of the most influential companies in the corporate world.
Zachary made himself clear those were none of their businesses.
“I think it’s not necessary for me to share the details of my family with all of you. I’ll try my best to resolve the financial predicament of the company. If any of you are willing to show me your support, I’ll definitely return the favor in the future. It’s not much of a big deal if any of you wish to sit this one out. Similarly, I won’t stop those who wish to leave. That’s all for today.”
The attendees of the conference were at a loss for words as they were aware of Zachary’s capabilities. On top of that, the successors of Nacht Group were Zachary’s children. Thus, they thought it wouldn’t be wise to sit it out.
With that being said, they weren’t sure if they were ready to put everything at stake for Nacht Group since there were so many variables associated with the financial predicament.
It would take more than a few billion to resolve the issue. Thus, apart from Johann and the two members, the rest remained silent instead of sharing their next best course of action with the rest.
In short, Zachary had to brace himself through the challenges awaiting him since others couldn’t do much with their limited resources.
Johann couldn’t figure out the rationale behind Henry’s decision as it wouldn’t make any sense for him to set aside his money for nothing when it could be the company’s capital for reinvestments.
If his great-grandchildren are the appointed successors, there’s nothing much they can do with the fortune he has left them! If Zachary can’t brace himself through the financial predicament, how are they going to ensure the sustainability of the family?
On the other hand, Zachary was conscious those were merely part of his grandfather’s plan to keep him on track. Otherwise, Zachary might stray from his path in life due to his strained relationship with Charlotte.
At the moment, Danrique had stopped coming after Nacht Group since he could focus on increasing the influence of Lindberg Corporation in different regions instead of wasting his time with them.
If that was the case, the day for the two families’ showdown would be stalled for at least a few years since Lindberg Corporation couldn’t do much to get rid of Nacht Group for the time being.
As much as Danrique wished to wipe Nacht Group out of existence, he would have to ensure he was a match for the company that had been around for decades.
