Although his question sounded polite, it was filled with a vicious and murderous intent…
Robert’s words reminded him of himself back then. When Isabella brought him back, she suffered the brunt of suspicion.
People would confront her each day and scold her for bringing a b*stard like him back to the Lindberg family. Some even wanted to chase her away.
However, Isabella ignored the voices opposing her and insisted on keeping him in the family, against all odds.
She even held a family conference and announced to everyone that if anyone dared to touch Danrique, they would be opposing her. In that case, she would protect him with her entire life!
At that moment, Isabella was like a goddess to the young Danrique.
Now that the same thing was happening right in front of him, he felt enraged.
Unlike others, he was not the type to take precautionary measures and care about the bigger picture. Rather, he did things recklessly. Once he had his mind set on something, no one else could convince him otherwise.
That was his style—aggressive and simple.
“No, that’s not what I mean…” Robert panicked so much that he started sweating. “I’m here to discuss with you, Mr. Lindberg, so don’t be angry.”
Although Robert was an elder and Danrique treated him with respect, he knew Danrique’s temper well. If Danrique was enraged, he would not care about age or status.
As long as he felt unhappy, he would fall out with the other person immediately.
“It’s just a casual question,” Danrique smirked. “That child is like me, so I like him. If I don’t have a child, I might let him inherit the Lindberg Corporation!”
“Um…”
Robert was surprised, for he did not expect Danrique to have such plans.
Actually, he had heard rumors about Danrique having an illegitimate son. However, he did not know if they were true. Danrique had never mentioned it before, so he did not dare to ask about it either.
However, regardless of what happened, it was impossible for Danrique to let a child from the Nacht family inherit the Lindberg Corporation.
“I never care about blood relations or status. Those worthless things don’t matter to me! Once I’ve made up my mind, no one else can change my opinion.”
Danrique continued indifferently, “Also, that child might return to the Nacht family to become their heir after a short while. Your worry is meaningless!”
“Return to the Nacht family?” Robert was confused. “Didn’t Charlotte say that she has already discussed with Zachary and established that the child will be staying with her?”
“That’s what they discussed, but things are always unpredictable…”
A gloating look flashed across Danrique’s eyes. However, he did not continue speaking and changed the topic instead.
“Anyway, this child can inherit both the Nacht family and the Lindberg family. He couldn’t care less about the Laurent family’s assets!”
Although he might sound arrogant by saying this, it was the truth.
Rendered speechless, Robert had no choice but to clear his throat to hide his embarrassment. “That’s not what I meant. I’m just afraid that Zachary might create some trouble…”
“Let’s discuss it when he actually does something…” Danrique placed his wine glass down, got up, and prepared to leave. “Even if he actually comes, I’m still here. What’s there for you to fear?”
“You’re right.” Robert nodded profusely.
“You’ve been busy for the entire day. Go back to the guest room and rest for a while.” While walking out, Danrique said politely, “I have to leave now. I’ll come back in the afternoon to send you off.
“Okay.”
As Robert watched Danrique leave, the fear within him dissipated gradually.
He heaved a deep sigh. This man is so hard to deal with…
At that moment, he suddenly thought of Zachary. Although Zachary was also extremely domineering, he would still be concerned about the bigger picture and the families’ reputation. Hence, he would not cause a conflict so easily.
However, Danrique was different. He never acted rationally—everything depended on his mood.
Still, when he said that things are unpredictable, what does that mean?
