Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1635 Cunning Old Fox âAgreement?â Chris leaned over at once. âWhat agreement?â
Marino and the others quickly stepped forward to shield Charlotte, stopping Chrisâ approach.
After Rodney and the legal team from Divine Corporation examined the two agreements, they declared excitedly, âThese two agreements were indeed left behind by Mr. Nacht. Not only is his signature on it, but his thumbprint also. Based on the agreement, Mr. Nacht has to unconditionally give half of his income to Charlotte Windt, also known as Charlotte Lindberg, from this particular dateââ
âWhat?â
Before Rodney could finish, Chris sprang up from his chair and snapped, âHave you made a mistake? These documents must have been forged, as I never wrote them before.â
âOf course you didnât. Youâre not Zachary at all.â Charlotte stared coldly at him. âYouâre Chris Broid!â
âYouâre nuts!â Chris exploded. âIf you continue hurling wild accusations, Iâll sue you for defamation.â
âDoes the company have old copies of Zacharyâs signature and thumbprint? All of you can verify it.â Charlotte declared loudly, âAlso, I remember Zachary would go for a medical check-up every year. Thus, the company likely has a copy of his bloodwork.â
Charlotte pointed at the debt repayment agreement signed by Zachary. âAs for the thumbprint, it was sealed with his own blood. Hence, you can use it for comparison.â
Raina was delighted to hear the news. âThatâs right. Thereâs a sample of Mr. Nachtâs blood in the hospital. I can make a medical comparison right away.â
âYou have collaborated with Charlotte to betray me. How can we trust you after this?â Chris retorted. âEveryone, Charlotte has bribed my subordinates and even convinced Johann and Mr. Spencer to go against me. Therefore, you shouldnât believe her at all.â
At that moment, the board of directors were having heated discussions among themselves and didnât know who to trust.
Logically speaking, Charlotte was right. However, their sentimentality held them back from concluding that Zachary had betrayed the companyâs interest. After all, the person in front of them was clearly Zachary, and the idea of an impostor who went through plastic surgery was simply too outlandish for them to believe.
Consequently, they were at a loss as to what to do next.
âI didnât expect Nacht Group to act so carelessly despite being a large conglomerate.â
At that moment, Jesse commented skeptically, âGiven the massive assets involved, how can two pieces of paper justify taking half of them away? If thatâs possible, wouldnât I be able to do the same by forging another copy?â
âYouâ¦â Charlotte seethed.
âNowadays, even humans can be cloned, let alone signatures or thumbprints,â Jesse sneered. âConsequently, demanding to have half the assets with just two pieces of paper is just ludicrous.â
âHe does have a point.â Some of the directors began to waver.
Meanwhile, Kallum looked around, unsure of whose side to take.
âWhen I intended to invest in the company, you barred me from joining the board with the excuse that Iâm an outsider. But what about her? Isnât she an outsider too?â
Jesse pointed at Charlotte. âHer children arenât Zacharyâs, while the Lindbergs are the Nachtsâ arch-enemies. What good does it do all of you if she takes away half the assets and plunders Nacht Group?â
âWellâ¦â
Stunned, all of them had a sudden realization.
âHer words do make sense. In contrast to Charlotte trying to take a portion of the assets away, Jesse is trying to join the board by investing in the company. Comparatively, Charlotte is the more ruthless of the two.â
âIâm not trying to take away any of the funds,â Charlotte clarified at once. âI will use the money Zachary gives me to reinvest in the companyâs stock. That way, Iâll become one of Nacht Groupâs shareholders.â
âDo you see it now?â Jesse sneered. âThatâs her true ambition on display. At the end of the day, she wants to usurp the Nacht familyâs assets and take over Nacht Group.â
âYouâ¦â Given how cunning and persuasive Jesse was, Charlotte couldnât stop him from controlling the narrative.q
