The subordinate looked at Nancy and spoke, “I don’t understand, Ms. Gold. Lindberg Corporation has fallen from


    grace and Danrique is still nowhere to be found. Ms. Lindberg is just a nobody now. Why do you have to treat her so


    respectfully?”


    Nancy smiled subtly. “You guys are too short-sighted. Lindberg Corporation’s downturn is temporary. They will make


    aeback one day and that will be the heyday of thepany, so we shouldn’t just kick the Lindbergs aside and


    treat them too casually. Besides, she’s Mr. Nacht’s ex-wife. They have three children together. This made her a


    unique yer. I can’t just disregard her. Even if we were to fight over the same man, it should be done in a


    gentlemanly fashion so no one takes it personally.”


    “I see,” the subordinate answered with a convincing nod, “Ms. Gold, you’re really wise.”


    Nancy walked over to look at Charlotte’s car as they got in, her expressionplex.


    “Ms. Gold, that’s Mr. Nacht’s car.”

    “It seems like they’re still close.”


    This made Nancy felt more conflicted.


    Over in the car, Lupine had already started the engine. “Are we heading back to Yaleview, Ms. Lindberg?”


    “Yes.” Charlotte looked at the high-rise building opposite and memories came flooding back. Level 68’s lights were


    still on and she wondered if Zachary was still working.


    “That’s Mr. Nacht’s car!” Lupine eximed.


    Charlotte looked up and saw Zachary’s Rolls-Royceing out from the car park and pulling up beside tinum


    Café.


    Nancy and her bodyguards were already outside the restaurant to wee him. Zachary got off and went in with


    her.


    The two seemed intimate from the looks of it.


    “Did she did it on purpose?” Lupine snarled.


    “Drive.”


    Charlotte’s tone sounded cold, but she actually felt agitated. She would not have cared if Nancy were to do


    something behind her back, but now that Nancy made an open statement, she felt a sense of crisis.


    As Nancy herself said, she had what it took to y on an open field with her. She did not have to resort to


    underhanded ways.


    That was the kind of woman Zachary liked.


    “Ms. Lindberg, Ms. Gold had another meaning behind what she said earlier on, right? The Gymnasium Project is just


    an excuse for her to talk to you about Mr. Nacht.”


    “You could tell?” Charlotte asked, feigning nonchnce, “You’re a smart one. Morgan won’t be able to sniff a thing.”


    “Do you really not care at all? There’s nothing between you and Mr. Nacht now. You have already revoked your


    engagement with Sir Louis. Mr. Nacht and you have three children together. Have you never thought about getting


    back together? I can tell Mr. Nacht still loves you.”


    “What’s wrong with you, Lupine? I’d understand if Morgan were the one saying this, but you? You know me best.


    How could you say something like this?”


    “It’s exactly because I know you well that I’m saying this,” Lupine replied unreservedly, mustering her courage. “I


    know neither of you has actually stopped loving each other. Both of you could have had a happy life. Both of you


    are finally having another chance to your rtionship. All the hindrances and grievances from the past are gone


    now. I just don’t understand why both of you don’t want to mend this rtionship. Is your ego really this


    important?”


    “It’s not about my ego,” Charlotte answered instinctively.


    What is stopping us then? Charlotte could not tell herself.


    What Lupine said was true. There were grievances between their families, but not anymore. The path to their


    happily ever after was clear now, but Charlotte was scared. She did not want to repeat the same mistake. She did


    not want to get hurt again.
