“Ms. Windt, can we start now?”
Charlotte’s stylist was waiting for her by the corridor.
“Sure.” Charlotte prepared to head for the makeup room.
“Miss, Miss…” At that moment, Mrs. Berry cried out from downstairs. “Olivia is here!”
“Olivia?” Charlotte turned around and saw Olivia standing meekly by the stairs.
“Charlotte!” Olivia ran up excitedly. “Congratulations!”
“Thank you!” Charlotte grabbed onto her and scrutinized her from head to toe. “Have your wounds all healed?”
“Yes, they have.” Olivia nodded with a smile. “Thank you!”
“No thanks are needed. We’re family, after all, so don’t be a stranger,” Charlotte replied, holding her hand.
“Charlotte, I’ll need to entertain Mr. Windt’s old friends. So, I’ll leave Olivia here with you.” Mrs. Berry looked to be in a hurry. “I have to go now. Call me if you need anything.”
“Alright, go on ahead.” Charlotte nodded as she watched Mrs. Berry leave.
The house was bustling with activity as everyone was preparing for the wedding. The festive atmosphere naturally lifted everyone’s spirits.
Everyone was busy with their own preparations except for Zachary, who was waiting for a call in the study.
“Mr. Nacht, everything is ready. Mr. Henry has gone to the church ahead of time to receive friends and relatives…”
After he arrived in a hurry to report, Bruce saw Zachary staring blankly at his phone. He carefully asked, “Are you alright?”
Zachary was briefly silent before answering, “Is there any news from Zara?”
“No.” Bruce shook his head and probed, “Has Ms. Windt…”
Bruce didn’t dare finish the sentence but he got his answer by reading Zachary’s expression.
“Don’t worry. I’ve spoken to Raina in the morning. She said that Dr. Felch’s condition is improving. He should be awake very soon,” Bruce reassured softly.
“It seems she won’t show herself unless I force her to.” Spinning his phone around, Zachary looked up with an icy gaze. “Spread the word. We will attack Cloud Group with everything we have.”
“Please reconsider, Mr. Nacht,” Bruce frantically remonstrated. “You have a ceasefire agreement with Ms. Nacht to not interfere with each other’s business. If you attack her, you will be in breach of that agreement.”
“She was the one that started it.” The thought of what Zara had done caused his blood to boil. “Is she any less guilty of breaching the agreement?”
“Right away.” Not daring to push the matter, Bruce could only advise, “However, it’s your wedding day today. I’m sure there’s no need to rush. We still have time to think of a different plan once the wedding is over.”
“It won’t affect the wedding.” Zachary checked the time on his watch. “By the time she sees the consequences, the timing would be about right.”
“But…”
“Just do it!”
“Yes, Mr. Nacht!”
Bruce had no choice but to cascade Zachary’s orders as he didn’t dare disobey.
Divine Corporation was a high-tech company that employed an elite group of hackers. In just one hour, they could break through all of Cloud Group’s systems.
The moment Cloud Group’s systems were breached, they would experience massive losses every second.
Prior to this, Zachary had restrained himself as he assumed Dr. Felch’s apprentices could heal Charlotte. But seeing as Charlotte’s poison was acting up again, Dr. Felch was still in a coma, and Zara didn’t respond despite having sent a message through Chris…
He was left with no choice.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. I must rat that woman out!
Right after his orders were cascaded down the line, he received an immediate response.
Zachary had changed into his suit and was about to check on Charlotte and the children when Henry called. “Are you behind the attacks on Cloud Group?”
“I didn’t expect you to call ahead of her.”
Zachary was disappointed when he realized it was Henry instead of Zara.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you doing this on such a happy occasion?” Henry was outraged. “Are you looking for trouble just because everything is going great?”
