Charlotte kept quiet as she knew that Zachary was the only one who could’ve outfoxed her like that.
So, that’s why he’s been so busy lately! He got a prosecutor to halt the project at the last minute, humiliating Lindberg Corporation in front of the press… Very impressive, I’ll give him that… I bet it won’t be long before everyone finds out about this. The Lindberg family has always been unbeatable in terms of its firepower and combat prowess, which was why Danrique managed to get at Zachary with the venomous snake.
However, the Nacht family is a lot better when it comes to business strategies and the use of technology. It took the Lindberg Corporation many years to slowly make its way into the local market and hit Zachary with both internal and external threats!
Who would’ve thought that he’d be able to deal such a heavy blow to the company and crush it completely? I can see why the usually calm and collected Danrique would lose his temper like this…
“Um… I don’t think Zachary has anything to do with this official decision being made… He’s probably so disoriented that he can’t even tell left from right, so there’s no way he’d be able to…” Louis said softly, but was quick to stop himself when he Danrique shot him a cold glare.
“I…I mean, I don’t know, it’s just a guess! A-Anyway, I’ll be on my way now! Call me if anything comes up, Charlotte!”
Charlotte watched as Louis fled the scene frantically before turning toward Danrique. “Calm down, brother. I’ll find a way to clean up this mess.”
“Why were you late just now?” Danrique asked.
Not wanting to keep it a secret from him, Charlotte replied honestly, “I went to the hospital.”
Danrique frowned and glared coldly at her upon hearing that.
Although he didn’t say anything, the look in his eyes was more than enough to send shivers down everyone’s spines.
Charlotte simply kept quiet in response.
Lupine had thought of defending her, but she was too scared to do so.
After what seemed like forever, Danrique finally shifted his gaze from her and said coldly, “For now, just focus on suppressing the news of this incident.”
“Got it!”
He then left after that, and Charlotte waited till the sound of his footsteps faded away before letting out a huge sigh.
“This is bad… Mr. Lindberg looked like he was about to kill someone!” Lupine exclaimed while clutching at her chest in fear.
“Mr. Nacht sure is impressive, dealing such a huge blow to Lindberg Corporation… What do we do now?” asked another bodyguard.
“Didn’t you hear him earlier? Suppress the news of this incident!” Charlotte shouted with a frown.
“Roger!” the bodyguards responded and quickly got to work.
“It’s pointless to stress yourself out now. You should get some rest, and we’ll figure something out afterward…” Lupine reassured her.
Charlotte slumped dejectedly against the sofa. “This is just the beginning. I can’t imagine how terrible things are going to get if the two families continue to fight on like this…”
This is the first time Zachary and Danrique have clashed with each other directly, and look what’s happened! Zachary ended up being hospitalized while Lindberg Corporation lost over a few hundreds of billions! This is a lose-lose situation! And to make matters worse, the innocent kids were caught in the crossfire and have gotten hurt as a result! What has Ellie ever done to deserve this? Why would anyone poison a six-year-old girl like her? Does it have something to do with the feud between the two families?
Charlotte was snapped out of her train of thoughts when Morgan’s call came in, and she answered it immediately, “How are things?”
“We haven’t found anything suspicious. Bruce came over to have a look last night too. He checked everything, including the trash that was taken out yesterday but found nothing out of the ordinary. The Nacht family is very thorough with their investigation.
Bruce even ordered the restaurant owner to keep the place closed for a week and forbade anyone from entering or leaving. Everything including the food was left untouched, and the place looked the same as it was last night. It’s highly unlikely that we would’ve missed out on anything…” Morgan said.
