Chapter 797

“What is he doing here at this hour?” Zachary asked with furrowed brows.

“Is it because of what happened last night?”

Ben became worried. Sir Louis is too naive. It’s going to be troublesome if he lets slip of anything.

“He’s probably here to talk about the project.”

Zachary had not agreed to Lindberg Corporation’s project to settle in. Last night, Louis wanted to have a discussion on it, but there weren’t any results yet.

The other five partners were still waiting for an answer while the latter was waiting to answer them, that was why he was here to talk about it.

Zachary got down and saw that Henry and Cynthia were already seated at the dining table. However, he quickly made his way outside instead of heading to the dining room.

“Where are you going?” the old man asked.

“Louis is here. I’m going to go take a look,” he answered and continued walking outside.

At the same time, Louis had just gotten down from his car when he said, “Zachary…”

“Why are you here so early in the morning?” Zachary questioned.

“The business partners are waiting for an answer,” the former replied with a frown. “I tried to convince Charlotte to quit for a really long time this morning, but she didn’t want to.”

Zachary was really shocked to hear it. He had expected her to quit on her own out of anger because of the kiss. Never would he had expected her refusing to quit.

It seems like her mental strength is much stronger now.

“I’m in a bind right now, Zachary. Can you just agree to it?” Louis’ brows remained furrowed when he continued, “Charlotte said that if you think that she invested too little, she’ll add more funds. But no matter what you say or do, she’ll never pull back.”

“You should head back first. I’ll come to see you later.”

He didn’t want Louis and Henry to meet now.

“Why?” the latter asked in confusion. “I haven’t had breakfast yet. I was thinking of having breakfast here too…”

“Grandpa is here. If he finds out about this project, he’s sure to throw a fit,” Zachary said in a low voice.

“I see.” Louis’s expression changed drastically as he said, “In that case, I’ll take my leave now.”

Just as he was about to get into his car, a silver Rolls-Royce sped towards them.

Charlotte is here!

Ben quickly rushed to close the gates.

Zachary furrowed his brows at the sight of that. What is she doing here now?

The car stopped, and the woman alighted from the car.

She was wearing a white suit, and her pale face was hidden underneath a layer of light makeup. The beautiful, cold yet charming woman was back.

“Sorry for the intrusion, Mr. Nacht.” A smile hung on her lips as she spoke. It looked like a polite smile, but it also showed her fearless courage. “Since I haven’t been able to invite you, I could only visit you myself.”

“You were in so much pain last night, but it seems like you’re much better now.”

Zachary raised a brow at her. Although he looked icily arrogant, he felt extremely conflicted.

Back when he was messing with her, he could switch between his two personalities with ease. He would be so intimate with her at night but would treat her really coldly in the day.

Yet now, he had ignored his bottom line for her and breached his own principles because of his personal feelings multiple times.

If this continues…

“What?”

Charlotte had no idea that Zachary had gone to help her when she had a relapse.

“Ms. Lindberg…” Lupine whispered in her ears.

The woman’s face instantly turned grim as she yelled, “Who allowed you to let him in?”

“This is all my fault.” Lupine hurriedly bowed her head in apology.

“We’ll talk about this later, Charlotte. Let’s go,” Louis said while pulling her away. “Mr. Nacht is here. If he knows you’ll be attending, this project is sure to fail.”

Even though he didn’t know about Zachary and Charlotte’s relationship, he was aware of the grudges between the Nacht and the Lindberg families.

“Mr. Nacht’s here too?” Charlotte raised her brows upon hearing the name. “That’s great. I wanted to meet him too.”
