Chapter 1474 Dominance
When Charlotte met Theo and the rest, she announced that she would take charge of the Gymnasium Project temporarily and that everything else would go according to plan.
Theo and the rest dared not voice their doubts. After all, Nacht Group held the biggest shares. Even if something were to happen to Zachary, the company would still be capable enough of operating as usual.
However, they couldn’t help but worry that something else would pop up and affect the project’s progress.
Charlotte announced icily, “Even if something pops up, Nacht Group will take the brunt of it. We’ve invested more than the total of your investments, right?”
Having heard that, they fell silent.
Rick Newark, one of the shareholders, however, plucked up his courage to say, “Ms. Lindberg, you can’t say that. The Nacht family is an affluent family, and the investment is nothing to you. However, for the rest of us, we’ve invested our savings into this project. If something happens, we’ll have to declare bankruptcy.”
“Yes, that’s right,” the others chimed in.
“What do you want?” Charlotte arched a brow. “You want to pull out? It’s not too late for that.”
“Well…” The shareholders shared a look anxiously.
“Not to that extent, of course,” Theo answered hastily. “I don’t know what the others have in mind, but I will remain loyal to Nacht Group. No matter what, we’ll get through this together!”
“Oh? We’ll get through this together?” Charlotte shot Theo an arctic look. She turned to the others and declared, “Everyone, I won’t stop you if you wish to pull out. I can ask Mr. Williams to come over to draft an agreement before returning your investment to you.”
The other shareholders promptly voiced in unison, “We’ll stick with Nacht Group and get through this together!”
“Have you made up your minds?” Charlotte gave them a frosty look.
“Yes, of course.” They nodded profusely.
“Since you’ve made up your minds, I’ll be frank, then.” Charlotte raised her brow authoritatively. “This project has already started, so I can actually force you to comply using the contract if you hesitate. But because you’ve known my husband for a long time, I made an exception by giving you a choice. Now that you’ve agreed to continue with the collaboration, please give me your full cooperation. If you bring this topic up again in the future, I shall demand compensation as per the contract!”
“Yes, we understand.” They bobbed their heads fearfully.
“Good.” More of that arctic staring before Charlotte announced, “I’ll be pretty busy lately, so Lucy, the vice president of Divine Corporation, will handle this project. Please cooperate with her. I don’t want someone else to bother me at the slightest movement.”
The men could only nod in agreement.
“I need to leave. Enjoy your meal. I’ve already paid the bill.”
Charlotte rose to her feet and strode out with her eight female bodyguards trailing behind her.
After their footsteps faded away, the shareholders heaved a collective sigh of relief.
His heart still racing, Rick asked, “I thought she’s supposed to be inadequate? Why do I find her as domineering as Mr. Nacht?”
“She’s Danrique’s sister and Mr. Nacht’s wife. How dare you say she’s inadequate?” Theo chided. “Be careful of your words. She’s no pushover.”
“What? You were the one who told us to come!” Rick huffed.
“My suggestion was that we sound her out, not to protest against her,” Theo explained. “Anyway, I’m going to stick until the project is done. Even if Mr. Nacht is in trouble, Nacht Group won’t fall that easily. Besides, I received news that Danrique is going to make a comeback.”
