Sure enough, Charlotte received a call from Sean seven dayster who informed her that Danrique intended to


    transfer some shares in Lindberg Corporation to her and to have her return at once to attend to the paperwork.


    Charlotte was most surprised as it was not the first time he had transferred some shares to her. When thepany


    ran into trouble, he had taken back the shares to prevent her involvement.


    Fueled by curiosity over Danrique’s uncharacteristic gesture, she pressed for answers to why he might do such a


    thing. Sean revealed that some of them were her mother’s shares, which rightfully belonged to Charlotte. The rest


    had been the winnings of a bet ced between Zachary and Danrique.


    Furious at the news, she demanded details but Sean remained reticent by merely reiterating his reminder for her to


    attend to the share transfer paperwork.


    After assuring him that she would get around to it, Charlotte called Zachary as soon as Sean departed.


    Seeing no way around her blunt questions, Zachary admitted to the wager.


    Charlotte lost her temper and yelled at him.


    Zachary gave a wry smile at her tirade. “You misunderstood my intentions, Wifey. I ced the bet to propel


    Danrique into action.”


    “He’s like a brother to me!” she snapped. “How could you stand to make a dime on the pretext of helping him?”


    “If I had lost, I would still be a man of my word by honoring the terms of the wager.”


    “You…”


    “It’s under your name now,” exined Zachary patiently. “We would be in a better position to provide assistance if


    Lindberg Corporation runs into trouble in the future. Isn’t that neat?”


    Charlotte’s eyes widened. “I did hear that they have some unresolved issues. As a result of this wager, I would be


    able to show up as a shareholder and see if there’s anything we can do to help.”


    “Lindberg Corporation is in urgent need of equity.” Zachary had already done his homework. “Do what you do best,


    shareholder. Bring them some money!”


    “But I have none!” Charlotte argued. “I’d given it all to Francesca.”

    “No, you didn’t. We still have some money! I’ll make all the arrangements for you. You are to depart for Erihal


    tomorrow. Once you get there, I’ll walk you through the next step.”


    “I can’t wait!”


    That afternoon, Ben showed Rodney into the house for Charlotte’s signature on a document. She was aware that it


    pertained to the transfer ofpany funds.


    Her fountain pen fell through her trembling fingers to the floor with a tter at the sight of the number. “Is it all for


    me? Can Nacht Group manage without this sum?”


    “I don’t actually know, Madam,” Ben smiled assuringly. “Mr. Nacht was the one to have made the necessary


    arrangements. I’m sure he has everything under control.”


    “Mr. Nacht has instructed us to apany you on your trip back to Erihal and to assist you wherever you might


    need,” Rodney added. “I hope you don’t mind the pleasure of ourpany, Mrs. Nacht.”


    “You’reing along too?”


    Ben nodded. “Of course! Mr. Nacht left instructions for us to appear before your family with as much pomp as


    possible.”


    “Nobody will dare to underestimate me with Danrique there!” Charlotteughed. “I’m sure that it’smon


    knowledge who my husband is.”


    “I’m sure they do, Mrs. Nacht.”


    After guiding Charlotte through the rest of the paperwork and making some vague ns for their trip, it was close


    to midnight when they finally departed.


    Charlotte remained behind to straighten out her files and keep the childrenpany before heading up to her


    bedroom. Before she stepped foot into the bathroom, Zachary appeared. “Mind if I hop in with you?”


    “Hubby!” Charlotte squealed before turning around to embrace him with her cheek pressed on his chest. “I owe


    you a thank you.”


    “Oh? For what?” Zachary asked as he kissed the top of her head.


    “It was after calling you this afternoon and saying all those mean things when I realized how carefully thought out


    your n was,” Charlotte admitted sheepishly. “You must have known that you would win the wager with Danrique


    before you made it, didn’t you? It was all for a legitimate way to help Lindberg Corporation.”


    Zachary pinched her cheek affectionately. “Nonsense! I’m all in the business of making money. Didn’t you once call


    me a cunning businessman?”q
