Chapter 609
"Of course, that''s a given." Henry then turned to look at Charlotte. "Name your price. In return for you
letting the children be recognized by the Nachts, I will pay you any amount."
"Grandpa, why do you have to insult me with your wealth?" Charlotte frowned and rubbed her sore
temples. "Zachary is their father anyway. I have no objection to them bearing his surname!"
"Good to know!" Henry smirked and looked at Zachary smugly. "Did you hearthat?"
Zachary was speechless. This stupid woman is making things difficult. Is she only capable of sidelining
me? It''s obvious that she sucks at negotiating.
"Well, stop bullying her just because she is agreeable!" Zachary sighed inwardly. He had no choice.
This negotiation was between him and Henry since Charlotte was of no help at all. "The census
registration cannot be without Charlotte! The children need a mother!"
"The name of the mother matters very little. The father''s name is what bears the most weight.” Henry
looked at Charlotte coldly. "It would be beneficial to have the children raised among the Nacht family.
Think about their future! If they stayed with you, there is no guarantee that they will have food on the
table. They will be scorned for being raised by a single mother. If you really love them, you should
consider this."
"What is the meaning of this?" Charlotte was already being pushed to the brink. "You want my children,
but you don''t want their mother. Are you expecting me to just sign them away to you?" "Exactly." Henry
nodded sagely at Charlotte.
"Leave, and the children will stay. That''s precisely what I meant. You''ve given us three heirs, so the
Nachts will not ill-treat you. I will fulfill any conditions you have." "You''re going too far!" roared Zachary,
clearly enraged.
"Be quiet." Henry red at him and addressed Charlotte again. "Even if I were to ignore your
background, do you think you''re a woman worthy of Zachary?"
"Zachary was a genius in STEM fields during his teens. By then, he''d already created his own tech
group, built Divine Corporation''smercial branding from the ground up, and already managed more
than thirtypanies under the Nacht Group."
"On top of that, he''s fluent in eightnguages, has technical knowledge in various fields, and has
doctorate degrees in three different subjects. In
the future, he will inherit a fortune worth trillions."
"Now, let''s talk about you." "You barely managed in a regr university. You don''t have outstanding
talent, work capacity, nor are you good at entrepreneurship."

"How are you going to marry into the family when you''re barely even touching mediocrity?"
"Zachary''s mother is a high-achiever with a doctorate from a prominent university. Her father is an
Ustranian Duke, making him noble-born and of good character. Her marriage was optimal because
both families would benefit from this union. Can you even begin topare yourself to her?"
"Let''s go back even further. Zachary''s grandmother was the only daughter of a shipping magnate, and
she was a skilled entrepreneur herself. She helped me manage the businesses after we got married,
and we owe our sesses to her efforts." "And you, what are you capable of?"
"You can tickle a few keys on the piano, raise the kids... All of which are things that can be done by
hiring a nanny. Why do we need you in the family at all?"
Charlotte was rendered speechless by the man''s tirade.
She was nurtured by her father''s loving care as a child and had learned quite a bit. While it was
definitely not bad by ordinary standards, it was a far cry from the upbringing of the women who married
into the Nacht family.
All in all, she had never considered what it would take for her to marry into a prestigious family, but she
finally understood.
Given her current state, she was only fit enough to be one of the staff.
"That''s enough!" said Zachary, seething.
"Let me finish."
Again, Zachary was interrupted by Henry. He was not about to let him intervene.
"You are the mother of my great-grandchildren. Although I can''t let you marry into the family, I have no
desire to hurt you. In fact, I am grateful that you have raised the children so well."
"However, I think that it''s not unreasonable to think that marrying into considerable wealth and power is
no easy feat. Large and wealthy families tend to beplicated."
"As the heir to the Nacht family empire, Zachary will be the head of the family. This ces heavy
burdens on his shoulders. If he has nobody capable to share those burdens with, it will not be an easy
path to take in the future." "I won''t live for much longer. I can''t be watching over him all the time. I need
to find someone who can do what needs to be done and help him, instead of hiding behind him all the
time."
