Chapter 1631 The Promise
After a brief pause, Charlotte continued, âHowever, considering Nancy's current state, the wedding
will have to be delayed. This is a good chance for us.â
âI see.â Lupine heaved a sigh of relief. âWell, Nancy only has her father and Chris to blame for her
accident. How can she blame you? You don't have to feel guilty.â
âI do feel guilty, but I've done my best,â said Charlotte with a frown. She glanced at her watch and
urged, âDrive faster! We're running out of time.â
âUnderstood.â Lupine slammed her foot on the accelerator.
At five past three, their car finally arrived at Divine Corporation.
As expected, a group of unfamiliar bodyguards quickly blocked Charlotte's way.
Johann wanted to welcome her personally. However, as he was under the control of the Gold family,
he could not leave the conference room.
Charlotte was about to barge in forcefully when Raina, Marino, Spencer, and the rest rushed over.
Eight bodyguards, who used to be Zachary's elite bodyguards, followed them intimidatingly.
The security guards from Divine Corporation did not dare to stop them anymore.
Charlotte and Bruce were escorted into the building by the huge group. When she entered the
elevator, she asked hurriedly, âHow did you come out, Mr. Spencer?â
âBruce sent someone to infiltrate Garden Villa and sneak me out. Then, Raina and her subordinates
picked me up.â
Spencer continued agitatedly, âThat b*stard pretended to be Mr. Zachary! He chased you out of the
Nacht residence, kidnapped the kids, and even joined forces with outsiders to usurp Nacht Group!
He created utter chaos! What a madman!â
âIt's pointless to insult him now,â said Charlotte, frowning. âChris has already brought Jesse to the
board of directors meeting. We must stop them, or trouble awaits us.â
âThe important thing is to prove that the man is Chris, not Mr. Zachary,â urged Spencer. âAs long as
we prove that, he'll have no decision-making power.â
âThat's tough.â Charlotte smiled bitterly. âNow that Henry's gone, there are no other direct family
members in the Nacht family. Distant relatives cannot prove anything. Even if we have a DNA test,
it'll be useless if everyone thinks that the child is not actually his.â
âCan we prove his identity using other instances?â reminded Raina. âHe was completely clueless
about Mr. Zachary's previous projects and knowledge.â
"Zachary was severely ill before that accident. He could've excused himself by saying that the illness
made him forget everything...â
Charlotte rejected that suggestion again.
âThen...â Everyone was panicking.
âThere's only one solution left.â Charlotte frowned. âAlthough it's not a good method, we can
recoup some losses and delay for time.â
âWhat is it?" asked Spencer anxiously.
At that moment, the elevator doors opened. Charlotte walked out directly without saying anything.
âMs. Lindberg..."
Rodney had been waiting outside all this while. As he was just a nobody to Chris, no one really
noticed him.
Hence, no one stopped him from entering.
âMr. Williams!â Charlotte rushed forward. âWhere's the statement?â
âHere.â Rodney passed an envelope to her.
Charlotte opened it and took a look. It was a statement that had been personally written by Zachary.
The message was brief yet concise.
As he owed too much to Charlotte, he had signed a debt repayment contract with her two years
ago. With effect from that date, fifty percent of his income would be given to her.
His identity card and a notarized document were attached to the contract.
Charlotte's eyes turned red when she saw the contract. A turmoil of emotions washed over her.
She had never thought that this contract, which was initially meant as a joke, would become a
lifesaver.
Everything that Zachary had said to her, including this harmless joke, had been fulfilled.
