Her actions took Zachary by surprise. He picked her off her feet and allowed her legs to wrap around his waist. While kissing, they headed to the bedroom.
Two of them fell onto the bed, their eyes burning with affection, and the temperature in the room seemed to have risen. Charlotte was so into it that Zachary could not stop…
After the passionate night, Charlotte finally drifted to sleep at dawn.
Unable to resist the temptation, Zachary leaned in to kiss the woman’s eyes and cheek before continuing to stare at her sleeping face.
Tonight, he made Ben prepare the evidence for Sharon’s misdeeds. He planned to stand up to Henry and the Blackwoods to demand the marriage contract to be called off.
Unexpectedly, before he submitted the evidence, Henry got a heart attack and fainted.
Everyone got a shock, and Zachary immediately sent Henry to the hospital. After a few hours, the older man’s condition finally stabilized at two in the morning. As he was afraid that Charlotte was waiting up for him, he rushed home.
Ring!
His phone vibrated, and Zachary quickly answered it. He whispered, “Hello?”
“Mr. Nacht is awake,” Ben said. “Please hurry over. The doctor wants to see you.”
“I’ll be there in a jiffy.” Zachary hung up and carefully withdrew his arm from under Charlotte. Lowering his head, he kissed the sleeping figure then got up to change.
Before he left, he wrote a note and placed it under the lamp by the bed.
His chauffeur was already waiting downstairs. As soon as he got into the car, he received a call from Bruce. “Ms. Nacht has disembarked from the plane. She is heading to the hospital now.”
“Okay,” Zachary acknowledged. “I want you to get some people to protect Charlotte in secret.”
“I understand.”
After the call, Zachary’s phone rang again. This time, it was Johann. “I heard Mr. Nacht is sick. Is that true?”
“Where did you hear it?” Zachary furrowed his eyebrows.
“It was insider news. Don’t ask me about the details.” The man on the other end softly continued, “This is big news. Although you are the only grandson, you are not married and have no successors. I’m worried that the other branches of Nacht Group would question your inheritance rights. When the internal fight starts, it will spell trouble for you.”
“I know,” Zachary simply replied.
“You are still young and haven’t been through any family fights…” Concerned, Johann expressed, “In the face of big advantages and interests like this, even people who are related by blood would kill each other. It will reveal the evil side of humans.”
Hearing that, Zachary grew solemn.
Throughout his life, he was always the strongest. He was a child prodigy, and by sixteen, he took over the company and started managing the Divine Corporation. No matter what difficulties he met, he would often outmatch his competitors. Even when forced into a corner, he was never scared.
However, it would be a challenge to compete against his blood relatives for the family assets.
He grew up without his parents, so his grandpa educated him. On the other hand, his aunt, Zara, played the role of his mother. She took good care of him, and he was very close to her…
Unfortunately, everything changed somehow.
Perhaps, it was because he grew up and became more independent. Soon, they started to have conflicts of interest.
Therefore, Henry divided them into different industries and made them promise not to offend each other.
For ten years, everything was peaceful.
It was not until Chris pretended to be him. He angered Zachary by almost raping Charlotte, which resulted in their first dispute.
“Take good care of the situation. I shall not bother you anymore,” Johann advised and hung up.
Still holding onto his phone, Zachary looked crestfallen.
He managed to resolve the previous conflict perfectly, but the war would start again.
Although he did not wish to take this step, he could not tolerate it if anyone wanted to challenge his authority.
