“Yeah.” Robert reminded him solemnly, “For this period of time, don’t interact with him. Minimize any
communication with him and let someone else handle the project.”
Actually, the reason why Robert said that was not to help Louis avoid any embarrassment. Instead, he wanted Louis
to keep his distance from Zachary.
In that case, even if a conflict arose between the Nacht family and the Lindberg family, their family would not be
affected.
“That’s not really appropriate, right?” Louis still felt worried. “Even if we stopped interacting as much, I still need to
be held accountable to him for the project.”
“What’s there to be accountable for?” Robert disagreed. “He’s calling for a shareholder meeting, so I’m afraid that
he’s going to withdraw.”
“If he really withdraws, the project is doomed.” Louis frowned. “I’ve never accomplished anything in the past. I
spent so much effort on the project because I want to prove myself. If the project ends up in a failure halfway, I’d
be a complete joke.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“In the past, I would be really worried. However, things are different now. You’re going to be married to Charlotte
soon! With the powerful Lindberg Corporation backing you up, there’s no need for you to fear the Nacht family.”
Robert continued confidently, “Mr. Lindberg has always disliked Zachary. If he knows that Zachary has withdrawn
from the project, he’ll definitely be willing to chip in.”
“But…”
“Alright, stop entertaining those irrelevant thoughts.” Robert patted Louis’ shoulder. “The Nacht family and the
Lindberg family are rivals. Since you’re going to become Danrique’s brother-in-law, you should keep your distance
from Zachary.”
With a heavy heart, Louis lowered his head in silence.
“You’re so melodramatic and indecisive, you know?” Robert hated it when he acted like that. “Don’t you understand
the situation now? You haven’t let Zachary down! He’s the one who betrayed you by calling for a private meeting
with the shareholders to overthrow you…”
“Dad…” Just when Louis was about to speak, his phone rang. After seeing that it was a call from Theo, he quickly
picked it up, “Hello, Mr. Murphy.”
Robert snatched his phone away and put it in speaker mode.
“Louis, I’ve already informed the other shareholders about your good news! Everyone’s really happy for you.
Listen!”
Immediately after Theo spoke, the voices of the other shareholders sounded from the phone. All of them were
congratulating Louis and urging him to inform them what the wedding date was. No matter how busy they were,
they would definitely attend it.
Everyone was fighting to congratulate him, with some eagerly asking who the bride was. Stunned, Louis took a
while to return to his senses before blurting out loud, “What about Zachary?”
“Mr. Nacht went back to rest after the meeting,” replied one of the shareholders. “His complexion looks quite pale
recently. He must be exhausted after Mr. Henry passed away. Oh, right. He even brought his son with him, so he
probably returned to his villa to keep his son company.”
“Louis…” Theo snatched the phone over and said, “I’ve told him about your marriage. He told me to congratulate
you, and to inform him when the wedding is.”
When Louis heard that, his heartbeat quickened and he asked anxiously, “What else did he say?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Nothing much. He said that he’d like to tell you some good news!” said Theo with a chuckle.
“W-What’s the good news?”
Louis’ hands trembled as he grabbed the phone. He thought that Zachary was referring to ‘good news’ as a form of
dark humor…
“Mr. Nacht increased his investment for our Pillere project! Since we don’t need to accumulate more funds, we can
kickstart the project earlier. When are you going back to Pillere? We’ll meet you there.”
When Louis heard that, he was shocked. Initially, he thought that Zachary would withdraw his investment to make
him fail horribly. Surprisingly, Zachary increased his investment instead.
Does he not blame me at all?
Even Robert was astounded. A doubtful look crossed his face.
What is Zachary doing?
“Louis? Louis?” Theo called out to him over the phone.
“Oh, I’ll be leaving in the evening and will reach Pillere tomorrow.” Louis returned to his senses and said
distractedly, “I’ll call Zachary first…”
“Okay!”
