Chapter 610
His words were domineering and aggressive in the beginning, but Henry finally let out the truth. It was
emotional and within reason.
Charlotte stood there in silence and began to reflect.
Yes, this marriage would not be easy. Not only would I need to help Zachary, but I also need to
consider whether or not I can adapt to such arge family and their ways. I think I can''t exactly offer
him the assistance he needs. On the contrary, I''ll be both a hindrance and a burden.
"Think about it. Aren''t you only a stumbling block?" asked Henry again.
Having noticed that Charlotte seemed to be weighing in on his words, he decided to continue.
"Because of you, Zachary has fallen out with the Sterlings, the Browns, as well as the ckwoods.
He''s even at loggerheads with his aunt. You''re not even his spouse, and you''ve already caused so
much trouble. What is going to happen in the future?"
Charlotte could only lower her head in shame. She had caused a lot of trouble, and there was no
denying that.
"I''m still alive. I can hold things back for the time being by using my influence to keep things calm. But
who is going to help him after I''m gone? And what if the same thing happens again?"
"Alright, I''ve had enough!" Seeing Charlotte reduced to this, Zachary hurriedly stepped in to defend her.
"You''re one of the best psychological warfare experts the world has seen. If you''re going to be using
such tactics, how is anyone even going to defend themselves?"
"Am I wrong though?" Henry shot back and looked at Zachary. "Did I fabricate anything? Or did I
exaggerate things?"
"That''s irrelevant. I''m going to marry her anyway."
Zachary knew the old man too well. When he was younger, he was an expert negotiator who
persuaded prisoners of war to surrender. He could even use psychological tactics to edge criminals to
suicide. To Henry, Charlotte was scum. She had no room to fight back.
"Well, aren''t you just easy to deal with today!" Henry was already very annoyed. "Do you think you''re
still a child? You''re already a father! You have responsibilities! Why are you being so difficult?"
"You want to talk about reasoning with me?" retorted Zachary. "Well, let me ask you then. If grandma
was so good and so perfect, why did you
end up marrying your mistress?"
The old man was stunned, and the expression on his face was a mixture of indignance and rage. "You
little sh*t! What bullsh*t are you on about now?"
"Am I wrong?" asked Zachary. "Based on what you just said, we need to have our qualifications sky
high to be worthy of the Nacht family. So what was it about grandma that you didn''t like? You still ended
up having an affair. You got yourself a mistress!"
"I told you to shut it!"

At the age of ny-six, all of his dirtyundries were being exposed by his grandson and to outsiders
at that.
Henry''s face turned purple with rage. If not for his bad feet, he would have already lunged at Zachary
ages ago.
"So that proves that you need to marry the woman you love!" retorted Zachary again. "A loveless
marriage, regardless of how perfect she is, is counter-productive. If you don''t love her, it''ll only cause
problems that will leave asting impact on the family as well as the business."
"Y-You brat..."
The old man was so angry that he hit Zachary on the shin with his crutches.
Zachary didn''t bother dodging the blow. "After that, Grandma divorced you and nearly made you split
up the family property. Did you forget how the whole incident made global headlines?"
"I told you to shut up!"
Henry was near-delirious with anger. Shakily, he got up and rushed towards Zachary.
Charlotte immediately snapped out of her daze. She had been stunned into silence by Henry, but
Zachary had stepped in to defend her.
However, both men made salient points.
