Chapter 591


    Zachary had been biding his time without making any retaliation. However, the business circles were


    waiting to watch a good show. It didn''t matter when it would happen or who woulde up on top-it


    was certain to set off a bloody storm.


    "Why are they here to attend Hector and Helena''s wedding? Do the two families rely on help from the


    Lindberg Corporation?" Charlotte asked uneasily.


    "You''re not too stupid, I see." Zachary pinched her chin lightly.


    "Isn''t that a great disadvantage to you?" Her expression turned sour. "On top of that, you''re dismissing


    the engagement with the Synder Group. If the Synder Group were to align with the Lindbergs, then-"


    "They''ve already aligned." Zachary rubbed at his temples. "We''ll settle everything here once and for


    all."


    "For real?" Charlotte turned pale with fright. "The Synder Group and the Divine Corporation still have


    ongoing coboration projects. How could she align with the Lindbergs at this juncture?


    ording to the contract regtions, they would have topensate ten times their capital in the case


    of a breach."


    "Indeed, it is stated so in the contract, but anyhow, it was my fault. It wouldn''t look good if both parties


    continue fighting over it," Zachary said bluntly. "More importantly, the Nachts are indebted to Taylor


    ckwood. I can''t make them cough out thepensation."


    "Then..."


    "Well terminate the projects, dismiss the contract, and call it quits. From now on, we''ll no longer owe


    the ckwood family."


    Charlotte couldn''te up with any response to his words. Outsiders who were unclear about the


    situation might think of Zachary as arrogant and impulsive. But she was well aware he was sacrificing


    these to give her and the children status and a proper home.


    Actually, he didn''t have to rush with calling off the engagement. Had he been more of a selfish,


    practical jerk, he could totally marry Sharon ckwood and deal with the Lindbergs before handling his


    personal matters.


    Yet, he chose otherwise.


    He would rather give her and the children a name, even if it meant shouldering a tremendous amount


    of pressure and risks.


    That was how a real man assumed his responsibility.


    "Then, aren''t you in a disadvantaged position right now?" At the thought of the pressure Zachary was


    shouldering alone, her heart clenched. "The Lindbergs have the support of the Browns, the Sterlings,


    and the ckwoods-that makes them twice as strong. Whereas the Nacht Group has divided its assets


    into two since the beginning. It''s too difficult for you to go against the Lindbergs on your own.”


    "It''s not easy. But don''t worry. Your Hubby, I, is more than capable enough to handle it." Zachary


    caressed her face lovingly.


    "I''m sorry. It''s me who dragged you down." Charlotte felt exceptionally guilty. If it weren''t for her, there


    would be no grievances between Zachary and the Browns and Sterlings. He wouldn''t have broken all


    ties with the ckwoods either. As such, it could be said that the three families only went against


    Zachary because of her.


    No wonder Henry once called her a femme fatale. In fact, there was some truth to it.


    "Silly girl." Zachary frowned. "You have to have confidence in me."


    "All right." She nodded and changed the subject. "There''s one thing I don''t quite understand. Why


    would Mr. ckwood allow Sharon to act so willfully? Does he not care?"


    "The Synder Group''s shares have already been possessed by the ckwood mother-daughter duo.


    Taylor is nowhere near as good as he''s made out to be. He''s unable to keep her in check."


    Zachary was equally speechless when speaking about it.


    "Sharon had been raised on the streets since a young age and experienced some hardships. Taylor


    feels that he owes it to her and was extra indulgent. Add that up with her intelligence and capabilities,


    Taylor handed thepany to her with no expectations that his biological daughter would conquer the


    family''s assets and overthrow him."


    Charlotte was dumbfounded. "Sharon''s too ruthless!"


    "How else could she achieve greatness without being ruthless?" Zachary raised a brow. "If everyone


    were like you, the business world would be in peace."


    "All right..." She pouted unhappily.


    He lifted her face and smirked. "However... Even though you look simple-minded and half-witted, you


    managed to conquer a king like me.
