The moment the news was released, it caused quite a stir.
Over the last few weeks, Nacht Group’s stock price had dropped drastically due to Zara’s exposé. Despite the terrible impact it had, Zachary did nothing to address it.
However, when both announcements were made that day, the stock price stabilized.
At the same time, those who doubted the Nacht Group and Zachary began to reevaluate their opinion of him.
By breaking ties with Zara and removing her from the company, Zachary had demonstrated that Nacht Group and himself had nothing to do with her crimes. The police warrant further cemented that fact.
However, there were those who were still skeptical and speculated that Zachary betrayed his aunt to save himself.
Nevertheless, his actions had stabilized the situation for the time being.
It had also appeased Charlotte at the same time.
Charlotte had ordered Lupine to bring men in from Erihal to prepare for battle with the Nacht family. However, when everything was in place, Lupine hurried in to report, “Ms. Lindberg, look at the news, quick!”
“What news?”
Charlotte turned on the computer and saw the latest trending news. All of them were about the Nacht Group.
Just the headline alone was enough to shock her. When she clicked into it, she was further dumbstruck.
“Looks like we have misunderstood Mr. Nacht.” Lupine heaved a sigh of relief. “Not only did he not harbor Zara, but he also provided evidence of her crimes to the police. In fact, he even removed Zara from Nacht Group.”
“Why is he doing this all of a sudden?” Charlotte knitted her eyebrows in thought.
“What else can it be?” Lupine saw the matter simplistically. “Mr. Nacht even dealt with Chris at the same time. It shows that he does not intend to let Zara escape!”
When she saw Charlotte’s concerned look, Lupine added, “Even if he didn’t do it for you, it would still make sense for him to remove Zara who had become a cancer within Nacht Group. From my investigations, I found out that Nacht Group had lost hundreds of billions over the last few weeks. At the rate they are going, the foundations of the company would have been shaken.”
“That’s true.” Charlotte nodded slightly. “The main reason Danrique attacked Nacht Group was to force them to abandon Zara. He wanted that b*tch to know how it feels like to be abandoned by those closest to her and have no escape!”
“Mr. Lindberg is really smart!”
Lupine was filled with admiration at the mention of Danrique.
“Why don’t we wait and see.” Charlotte instructed, “Continue to watch Ben and report back to me if there are any movements.”
“Yes.” Lupine nodded.
As the study fell silent, Charlotte turned to look at the rain outside. Zachary’s actions had caught her by surprise.
She felt that he had made the decision on the fly.
What triggered his sudden decision?
She was baffled no matter how hard she tried to analyze it.
Lost in thought, a bodyguard knocked on the door to report, “Ms. Lindberg, there’s a girl named Olivia who wants to see you. She says she’s your friend.”
“Olivia?” Charlotte was stunned. She replied at once, “Show her in right away.”
“Yes.”
Charlotte put on her jacket before going to receive her.
At that moment, the bodyguard was guiding Olivia and Jeffrey in.
When Jeffrey saw how overbearing the place was, he was intimidated. Tugging at Olivia, he whispered, “Are you sure this is Ms. Windt’s home? Why are there so many bodyguards? Why is it so lavish? Did you make a mistake?”
“Mr. Judd, this is really Charlotte’s home. I came here before,” Olivia explained.
“But…”
“Olivia! Mr. Judd!” Charlotte hurried down the steps.
“Charlotte.”
“Charlotte!”
When Olivia and Jeffrey saw Charlotte, they were extremely excited, Jeffrey in particular. Suddenly, he became teary-eyed. “I didn’t believe Olivia when she said that you are alive. But I can see that it’s true.”
“I am alive and doing well.” Charlotte’s heart warmed as she smiled at them. “I had wanted to visit you many times, but something always came up in the end. You will have to excuse me!”
