Chapter 1690 Thank You
At the same time, the police had also confirmed that Chris had masqueraded as Zachary. Consequently, they had issued a warrant for his arrest.
On top of that, they reminded Zachary to inform them of any new leads he had on Chris, to which he readily agreed.
Subsequently, Zachary wanted to return Nacht Group to its original form by clearing out all the obstacles that had been put in there. His main objective was to put the company back on its initial path.
When he arrived at the office, Johann, Lucy, Spencer, and all the other board members were already waiting for him.
After announcing the updates from the police, Zachary returned the shares that Jesse had unscrupulously purchased to the respective board members.
Ecstatic over the news, the members of the board thanked him gratefully.
Zachary’s decision further cemented their respect and trust for him. Even though he had always been a demanding boss, his actions demonstrated his capability and how much he valued their loyalty.
Given that Zachary was never a sentimental person, he gave a short speech before leading Spencer and Johann back to the president’s office.
Meanwhile, Spencer was apologizing incessantly, as he felt guilty for failing to protect Nacht Group. At the crucial moment, he made no impact at all.
Zachary consoled him, “Mr. Spencer, I’m just glad that you made it through the episode unharmed.”
“Mr. Zachary—”
“I’m aware of everything that happened.” Zachary gave him a slight smile. “You have already done your best. For that, both Charlotte and I are eternally grateful.”
“Hearing Charlotte’s name just intensifies my guilt.”
Spencer recalled the time when Charlotte had just taken over Nacht Group. Back then, he even suspected that she was trying to take over the company for her own selfish gains.
It wasn’t until she convinced him with her sincerity that his concerns were allayed.
Thinking back about the incident caused him to blame himself even more.
“That’s all in the past now. It no longer matters.” Smiling slightly, Zachary added in a tactful tone, “Nonetheless, I hope that you can trust her unconditionally going forward. Of course, it would be even better if you could express your regret when you see her.”
“Yes, yes. That goes without saying.” Spencer nodded in acknowledgment.
“Since you’re not feeling well, you should go home early to rest,” Zachary comforted him. “Once I have gotten everything back on track and Charlotte has recovered, we will visit you with the kids.”
“All right then.” Touched by Zachary’s words, Spencer nodded repeatedly.
After getting Lucy to escort Spencer out, Zachary stood up and bowed deeply at Johann.
“What are you doing?” Turning pale in shock, Johann quickly helped him up.
“Ever since my accident, your faith in Charlotte never wavered regardless of what happened. In fact, you gave your all against Jesse despite the odds you faced. In return for that kind of loyalty, bowing to thank you is the least I can do.”
Giving Johann a thoughtful look, Zachary added sincerely, “Without you, the company wouldn’t have survived till my return.”
Johann couldn’t help but feel touched by Zachary’s words.
Teary-eyed, he replied, “When I made a mistake in my research back then, you were the only one who believed in me when I was forsaken by everyone else. Despite Mr. Henry’s objections, you even spent a fortune to hire me and appointed me to the most honorable position on the board. Moreover, you even gave me a stake in Nacht Group. Even though I had always been in conflict with you over the affairs of the company, I never doubted your capability, charisma, and the fact that you’re a good boss that values loyalty.
“After you gave me the responsibility of watching over the company and your children, there was no way I was going to let you down. Besides, I watched Charlotte grow into her own person. Consequently, I trust her as much as I trust you.”
“Thank you! Thank you so much!” Zachary expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
Considering that he wasn’t one for sappy words, those two words carried the weight of his sincerity.
“I should thank you too.” Johann lamented, “To have come back from the dead, you didn’t waste our effort at all!”
