Chapter 1310
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Hearing the determination in Zacharyâs words, Charlotte relaxed. Looks like I donât have to worry. He has decided to stay away from me and is doing this for the kids.
Though that was what she wanted, strangely, she felt a tinge of disappointment. However, her expression remained cool as she replied calmly, âGood. Weâre divorced, and now weâre neighbors. Nothing more. We shall stay out of each otherâs lives from now on.â
âIs this a peace agreement?â Zachary stretched his arm out. âNo problem!â
Rolling her eyes, Charlotte took his hand.
From today onward, Northridge and Southridgeâs previous glory would be restored.
Behind them, Ben and Lupine shared smiling looks.
Marino and Morgan were secretly overjoyed, for it was much easier for them to meet up now.
Back in H City, Charlotte told Lupine and Morgan to prepare for the house moving while she went to Yaleview to visit Jeffrey.
The factory that Charlotte invested in was doing well under the reins of Jeffrey and the other men.
After working hard for two years, they finally expanded and opened three more factories. Now, they were planning to rent an office building in the city for their company. Slowly, theyâd establish the brand and increase their influence in the industry.
Jeffrey was delighted to learn about Charlotteâs return. He gathered two shareholders to meet her with the accounts so they could report about the profit and results for the past two years.
Though Charlotte was the biggest shareholder and invested a huge sum of money, she didnât bother asking how the company was doing. A satisfied grin lit her lips when she found out her initial investment had at least tripled.
Thus, she thanked Jeffrey and the other two profusely.
After exchanging pleasantries, Charlotte suggested, âIâve looked around, and the factories seem to be doing well.
You can continue with the expansion. Iâll invest another one billion, so just go all out. You shall handle the products, and Iâll help to promote the brand in secret. Donât let others know that Iâm a major shareholder, though.â
The few shareholders were dumbstruck. Though they were successful businessmen, the sum of their investment was only around twenty million.
Now that business was booming, they had considered seeking other investors to expand the business. Alas, they dared not bother Charlotte. To their utter surprise, she offered to add on two billion to her initial investment.
Her statement shocked them senseless.
âCharlotte, w-where did you get so much money?â Jeffrey pulled her aside and whispered, âI heard that Lindberg Corporation is now in trouble. Youâve received your share, so even if you can afford it, keep the money. Investments are risky, and weâre not that capable. Running a small company is fine, but we donât have the confidence to expand further.â
âHeâs right.â The other shareholders nodded. âYour investment sum is too large.â
âWeâve worked under your dad. Handling the products is fine by us, but branding and being entrepreneurs donât suit us.â
âDonât worry, Iâll take charge of that,â Charlotte assured them confidently. âJust do as I say. Mr. Judd, send me the company account number. Iâll transfer the money over shortly.â
Jeffrey parted his lips to convince her to change her mind, but she was insistent. âPlease donât worry. Iâll bear all the risks. If the company is a success, weâll divide all the profits. All losses will be bored by me.â
âH-How can we let you do that?â the shareholders stuttered anxiously.
âSince Charlotteâs confident in the expansion, itâs a yes from us.â Jeffrey made up his mind. âWe should stick together through thick and thin!â
