Chapter 697


    "That''s brilliant!" Zachary curled up his lips into a smile. "But I''d like to correct you on one thing only.


    Once this year''s data is revealed, Nacht Group will stille first!"


    "You seem confident," Charlottemented with her eyebrow still raised. "How are you so sure, that


    Lindberg Corporation wouldn''t overthrow Nacht Group from the first ce this year?"


    Zachary shed her a good-mannered grin. "Well Ms. Lindberg, most of the assets of Lindberg


    Corporation are in Epea and Adrune. In the Aploth Chamber of Commerce, naturally, Nacht Group


    located here in Aploth has a higher advantage! I believe Danrique Lindberg will think so too!"


    Hearing those words, Charlotte had no words to refute the argument. In all reality, she couldn''t care


    less about the ranks. It was the sight of Sharon that lit the fuse. Charlotte did not know why, but


    something about Sharon ckwood just rubbed her the wrong way, irritating her to no end, and all she


    wanted is to counter everything Sharon said or did.


    That was what provoked her to do what she had done earlier.


    "Excuse me." Zachary ced down his champagne flute and left with a polite nod.


    Charlotte stared intently at his silhouette, frowning slightly. This man gives the impression of a calm


    and collected gentleman, yet he can retaliate my words with just a few sentences.I''ll have to raise my

    guards around him!


    As the scene ended, Mr. Potter quickly lightened the mood. "The Lindbergs and the Nachts have


    always equally matched, both equally impressive and should be our benchmark," he announced in a


    loud voice. "Right, everyone?”


    "Right!" the crowd chorused.


    "Ms. Lindberg, we have prepared a ce for you to rest. Should I escort you to your private lounge?"


    Mr. Potter approached Charlotte cautiously, in fear that he might identally offend and trigger her.


    "Please excuse me, everyone." Charlotte nodded to the people around her with a smile and left the


    room with Mr. Potter.


    Meanwhile, Zachary had excused himself since his phone had not stopped vibrating with calls and


    notifications. The moment he stepped foot into the hallway, Zachary picked up the call. "Hello?"


    "What the hell is wrong with you?" Henry hollered on the other side of the phone, causing Zachary to


    pulled his phone away a few inches from his ear.


    "First you made ns to go out with Cynthia, then you refused to text back or answer any calls? Is this


    nothing but a game to you?"


    Zachary froze, speechless. Only then did he recall the dinner reservations he had made with Cynthia.


    Zachary pinched the bridge of his nose in realization. He had intended to have a conversation with


    Cynthia, but the sudden change of ns threw him off track, causing him to push the matter to the


    back of his mind.


    No wonder my phone kept vibrating just now.


    "Sorry, there was a change of ns. I forgot to inform her about it," exined Zachary.


    "She waited for you in the restaurant for two hours..."


    "How big of a deal is that?" interrupted Zachary.


    "She could have just gone back on her own, must


    she run to you and start tattling?"


    "She wasn''t tattling. She was just asking me about your whereabouts. She was worried..."


    "Worried about what? What could possibly happen to me?" Zachary''s patience was beginning to slip


    away. "Fine, I''ll head back and exin it to her, alright? Stop fussing over it."


    "She''s in our house," replied Henry before interrogating further. "When are youing back?"


    Zachary was once again at a loss for words. After a few quiet seconds, he quipped, "Why did you bring


    her back to our house?"


    If the triplets see Cynthia, things will be awkward.


    "What about it? Do I not have the authority to do so?" Henry questioned back.


    "Of course you do," replied Zachary, massaging his head, attempting to get rid of the headache that his


    grandfather just gave him. "I''m attending events organized by the Aploth Chamber of Commerce right


    now and won''t be going home tonight. Ask someone to send her back to her ce, I''ll contact her


    tomorrow."


    "Why do you always..." retorted Henry.


    "I have to go."


    With that, Zachary hung up. Seeing the numerous notifications on his phone, he rolled his eyes,


    deciding to turn a blind eye to them.


    "Excuse me, Mr. Nacht. Sorry to bother you." A melodious voice rang from behind him.


    Zachary turned and came face to face with a beautiful youngdy. Her delicate features and hourss-


    like figure were enhanced by the exquisite ck form-fitting gown. She was holding a ss of wine in


    her hand, looking at Zachary in admiration from afar.


    "I''m sorry, you are...?" Zachary arched his eyebrow at the sight of the stranger approaching him.


    "My name''s Nancy Gold, daughter of Jesse Gold from Hawen. Please to meet you!" Nancy spoke in


    fluent Ustranasion. "May I have the honor to have some words with you, Mr. Nacht?"
