Now that the children were gone, peace returned to the living room.
The atmosphere was not as intense as before.
Zachary took command of the situation. “Bruce, bring Mr. and Ms. Blackwood to their rooms to rest.”
“Okay.” Bruce walked forward. “Mr. and Ms. Blackwood, this way please.”
“Zachary…”
Cynthia wanted to sign something, but Zachary did not even spare her a single glance. In the end, Taylor dragged her away. “Let’s go. It’s better if we don’t intervene in this situation.”
After the Blackwoods left, the tension diffused slightly.
“Let’s talk,” said Henry to Charlotte. “I think that you are harboring a lot of resentment. Why don’t we address everything now?”
“It’s not just resentment.” Charlotte glared at him. “It’s hatred!”
“I understand…” He nodded calmly. “Let’s go to the study room.”
“Okay.” Spencer wheeled Henry to the study room on the first floor.
Zachary and Charlotte followed them, while Bruce and Morgan tailed behind closely.
They reached the study room, which had such a solemn atmosphere that it seemed intimidating.
Mrs. Rawlston and Molly entered timidly. After pouring the tea, they frantically left and closed the study room door.
The room was filled with a dim light.
Henry sat on the main seat. Although he was exhausted and weak, he still sat up straight, as if he wanted to exert his dominance.
“Mr. Nacht.” Spencer passed a cup of tea to him.
After taking a sip of the tea, he said slowly, “I’ve talked to you in this exact spot two years ago. Do you still remember?”
“Of course. You said that you’ll never agree to me marrying Zachary, forced me to change my children’s last name, and even instructed me to leave the Nacht residence…”
These past memories surfaced in her mind the moment she stepped into the Nacht residence.
This showed how impactful those events were. Even though she was suffering from amnesia, these memories still came floating back…
“I’ll probably say the same things today,” revealed Henry directly. “The Lindberg family and the Nacht family are rivals. They should not be involved in each other’s business!”
“Grandpa…”
“You’re right.” Charlotte laughed coldly. “So what?”
“It’s true that you’re different now.” Henry stared at her with a meaningful gaze. “Your aura and charisma are completely different from how you were in the past. I can see some of the Lindberg family’s attitude in you.”
“What are you trying to say?” Charlotte could not be bothered to waste more time with him.
“I know that you hate me. After all, I was solely responsible for what happened two years ago…” A guilty expression crossed Henry’s face. “If you want to take revenge, just target me. However, please don’t involve the children. They bear the Nacht last name, so they’re destined to be part of the Nacht family forever. No one can take them away!”
“Destined?” Charlotte scoffed mockingly, “What do you mean by that? I gave birth to them, so they’re also part of the Lindberg family. Why are they destined to be part of the Nachts?”
“Are you saying that you want to take the kids away?” Henry’s expression became serious. “You’re acting recklessly just for your own selfish desires. Have you considered their feelings?”
“You don’t need to tell me that” Charlotte could not be bothered to continue talking to Henry. “If I want to take revenge on the Nacht family, I don’t need to involve my kids. I’ve been conceding over and over again out of consideration for their feelings. I only took action because the Nacht family is too useless to protect them. Unfortunately, all of you are not only blind but also useless! You’ve invited trouble right to your doorsteps. If I let my kids stay in such a family, they’ll be in greater danger!”
“What are you talking about?” Henry was furious. “Blind? Inviting trouble right to our doorsteps? Who’s blind? Who’s the trouble?”
“If you’re asking me these questions now, it’s obvious how ignorant you are!” Charlotte was equally mad. “Not only are you ignorant, but you are also arrogant!”
“You…”
