Locked and loaded, the Lindberg family was ready to roll.
Meanwhile, at the Garden Villa, Zara was watching the news in the basement. She screamed hysterically, “That
b*stard, how dare he do this to me?”
“Ms. Zara, please calm down,” Spencer advised. “You didn’t leave Mr. Zachary much choice. If he didn’t do that,
Divine Corporation would be ruined. In fact, the entire Nacht Group would collapse.”
“In that case, he should have suppressed the news and attacked Lindberg Corporation.” Zara was furious. “Only
those who are incompetent would point their gun at their own.”
“Didn’t you do the same to him?”
An elderly yet authoritative voice rang out.
Jolted, Zara turned around in panic and was greeted by the sight of her father.
Kyle was limping as he wheeled Henry into the basement. After glaring at Zara resentfully, he lowered his head at
once.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Dad, I never thought of challenging Zachary until he got on my nerves,” Zara explained softly. “If he hadn’t taken
action on Chris back then, I wouldn’t have attacked him.”
“Stop with your excuses. Do you take me for a fool?”
Henry coldly asserted, “Although you’re not close to Zachary, he and Chris are very close. All he did was give Chris
a beating. However, you used the incident to escalate the situation so that you could seize power.”
“I…”
Just when Zara was about to retort, she held her tongue when Henry shot her a stern glare.
She knew that he was the one person in the world who knew her best. Her thoughts could never escape his eyes.
Any rebuttal would just make her look hypocritical.
Nevertheless, no matter how evil she was, her dad would still save her simply because she was his daughter.
“You lost all your assets because of your own financial mismanagement. And now, you want to steal your nephew’s
inheritance. Is this becoming of an aunt?” Henry admonished her.
“If it wasn’t because you were biased and gave him ninety percent of the assets, I wouldn’t be left in the lurch.”
Zara remained defiant. “The reason my business failed wasn’t that I was incompetent. I just didn’t have sufficient
capital then-”
“Until today, you insist on making excuses.”
With his face red in anger, Henry waved his cane to hit her leg.
“I gave Zachary less money than I did you. And yet, he founded Divine Corporation. Moreover, Nacht Group has
also been well managed all this while. Only after he had demonstrated good results and paid his dues did I choose
him as my heir!”
“Of course you will say that,” Zara mumbled in defiance. “I don’t believe that he could’ve done it without your
help.”
“You… you’re so stubborn!”
Outraged, Henry realized it was futile to reason with her. Her inability to reflect on her mistakes had naturally
caused her downfall.
“That’s all in the past. Let’s talk about the present instead.” Changing topics, Zara anxiously accused, “Dad, you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhave seen for yourself that Zachary is working in tandem with the Lindberg family to tighten the noose on me.
Therefore, you have to save me!”
“I have prepared a hideout in Alendor for you. You should go there and keep your head down. Once the storm
passes, I’ll arrange for you to be sent elsewhere-”
“Alendor?” Zara was outraged. “I don’t want to go there, Dad. It’s terrible…”
“It’s because you can’t stand it that no one will be bothered to look.” Henry was extremely decisive. “With the
Lindberg family’s capabilities, they will be able to find you no matter where you are. Furthermore, the police are
hunting you too.”
“Isn’t that all Zachary’s doing?”
Zara was furious when the matter was brought up.
“Not only did he remove me from the company, but he also took back my shares. Even Chris has been suspended
from duty. Also, he must have handed all the evidence of my crimes to the police. It’s obvious that he is trying to kill
me!”
