“I’m here to discuss the Gymnasium Project, Zachary,” Robert finally revealed why he was here. “I believe you’ve
read the relevant documents. As the other shareholders are fine with it, we just need your signature.”
“The other shareholders are fine with it?” Zachary arched an eyebrow. “Are they waiting for my decision?”
He knew the shareholders wouldn’t dare to say a word before he did.
“Ha! Of course,” Robert replied with an awkward grin. “You need to approve it.”
“Mm, I’m going to be the bad guy.” Zachary sipped on his coffee.
“Er…” Robert had no idea Zachary was going to be this difficult. Though he was upset, he had to tamp down his
irritation to persuade Zachary.
“You’re the most influential person in the corporate world. No one will dare to question your decision, but that

“Why not? Signing the document means offending my children’s mommy.” Zachary didn’t bother mincing his
words. “If it was someone else, never mind. She’s the only person I dare not provoke!”
Silence surrounded them as Robert’s brows snapped together. “Didn’t you break up with her a while ago?” he
asked, confused. “She did that to you, didn’t she? Why are you still…”
He paused, changing his words so he wouldn’t sound so harsh. “The Nacht family and Lindberg family are at odds,
and you aren’t related to her anymore. Why are you so afraid of her? I don’t get it.”
He ended with a careful question.
“I can’t help it.” Zachary shrugged helplessly. “She’s the mother of my children, and they listen to her. If she’s upset
and complains to them, I’ll have to suffer.”
Robert was speechless. It was clearly an excuse, but he couldn’t find a plausible reason to retort that excuse of
Zachary.
“You shouldn’t be asking for my signature.” Zachary pushed the jewelry boxes back to him. “Instead, go to the
person involved. If you don’t want her to get involved in the project, go to her personally,” he declared with a smile.
“But I—”
“Oh, I just remembered I have an appointment.” Zachary seemed torn. “Why don’t you join me?”
“No need,” Robert responded stiffly. He stood up and made to leave.
“Hey, Sir Robert!” Zachary called, pointing at the silver boxes. “Take these with you. Perhaps you might need it
when your son gets you a daughter-in-law.”
His words sent a course of annoyance throughout Robert’s being.

Robert was wordless with rage as he spun on his heels and marched away.
His subordinates glanced at the boxes, wondering if they should take the boxes with them.
Ben shut the box and handed it to them. “Take it. They are worth millions.”
The men grabbed both boxes before dashing away to catch up to Robert.
“Should I send him off?” Ben asked.
“Tell him I can compensate him for the cars I destroyed back in Pillere,” Zachary uttered, swirling the glass in his
hand slowly.
Ben let out a snort and nodded. “Got it.”
He then ran out after their visitors.
Lucy came in to clear up the mess. She offered carefully, “Mr. Nacht, I heard that Sir Louis is in H City.”
Zachary was sipping on his wine when he heard what she had to say. He froze and furrowed his brows immediately.
Is Louis here for Charlotte? How could I have missed that? That sly fox must be going all out to get what he wants.
He can’t do it himself, so he asked for Louis’ help to get Charlotte to quit herself?
