“Alright, let’s stop arguing.”
Zachary felt exasperated. He knew that emotions would inevitably obscure how one would view things.
Furthermore, there were so many grudges, resentment and hatred involved in this issue.
Hence, he decided to lower his stature and beg, “What should I do before you’re willing to let me bring the kids to
Henry?”
“Sign this document.” Charlotte took out a document and a pen. “If you sign it, I’ll let you take the kids to meet
Henry.”
When he took the document and scanned through it, he frowned. “You want me to give up custody of the
children?”
“That’s right.” Charlotte nodded and glared at him resentfully. “Zachary, although I hate you, I hate myself even
more for not being resolute enough. I keep telling myself that I’m going to kill you and destroy the Nacht family, so I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcan take revenge for myself and Mrs. Berry. However, every time I look at the kids, my resolve wavers. I really hate
myself for that. For their sake, I have no choice but to give up taking revenge against you. However, I don’t want to
see you ever again. If you sign this contract now, I’ll bring the kids to the hospital and let them meet Henry for the
last time. After that, we shall never cross paths again.”
After a slight pause, she continued, “For the sake of the kids, I’ll convince Danrique to stop targeting the Nacht
family. As long as you don’t provoke the Lindberg family, the grudge between our families will end here! This is the
best resolution we can achieve, and it’s the last concession I’ll make. I’ll give you three minutes to think about it.
The kids are still waiting for us in the study room. After you’ve thought it through, we’ll go there.”
“Charlotte…” Zachary tried his best to control his emotions and maintain his composure. “I’m grateful for the
concessions you’ve made for the kids, but I cannot give them up to you!”
“Why not?” demanded Charlotte.
“Because they’re my children too!” Zachary became agitated. “Their last name is Nacht and they are of the Nacht
family’s bloodline! I can agree to anything else but this!”
“Let’s continue battling, then.” Charlotte became enraged too. “Even if we file a lawsuit, I’ll still win. When the kids
were living with you, they got poisoned by Cynthia and kidnapped by your aunt. With all this evidence, it’s obvious
who the judge will grant the custody to.”
“Are you sure you want to do this?” asked Zachary in frustration. “The kids will be the only victims if you file a
lawsuit.”
“You forced me to do this!” bellowed Charlotte.
“Charlotte, calm down and think about it carefully.”
Utterly exhausted, Zachary had no choice but to persuade her further.
“Do you think that you can lead a peaceful life after bringing the kids to the Lindberg residence? Isn’t Danrique
surrounded by enemies as well? Or are you oblivious to that because he’s protected you too well? Meanwhile, the
Nacht group has already eliminated all obstacles and I’m the person in power! As long as I’m here, no one will dare
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto touch my children. On the other hand, you have no actual power in the Lindberg family except for an empty title.
If someone uses you to scheme against Danrique, you and the kids will be in danger!”
After listening to that, Charlotte fell silent. It was true that although the Lindberg Corporation seemed stable on the
surface, it had its fair share of enemies.
Furthermore, a single family did not have a monopoly over the Lindberg Corporation, unlike the Nacht group.
Instead, the co-investors consisted of other families as well. Although the Lindberg Corporation was the biggest
shareholder, the other shareholders were starting to become restless. They had been deliberately trying to set
Danrique into more crises.
Although Danrique was powerful, he had his own weaknesses too…
“Wake up!” urged Zachary anxiously. “If the kids are with me, you can visit them anytime. Our doors are always
open to you. Furthermore, Henry had left all of his assets to the kids. In the future…”
“That’s enough!” Charlotte interrupted him and declared domineeringly, “I can’t care less about the Nacht family’s
assets. I’m putting all my efforts into work so I can rise up the corporate ladder. In the future, I can leave an equally
hefty inheritance for my children too!”
