q“Exactly,” Chris added. “Don't fall into her trap, everyone. She is holding a grudge against me for kicking her out
of the company. After all, her children aren't mine. And now, she has even caused my subordinates to turn on me
so that she can seize the Nacht family's assets.”
“Chris, you really are a shameless b*stard!” Lupine couldn't help but curse.
“Shut up!” Chris snapped back arrogantly.
“Since everyone finds the agreement suspicious, let's just get it verified.” Charlotte was already prepared. “If you
don't trust Raina, we'll get doctors from Serene Hospital to conduct the verification.”
“The staff at Serene Hospital are, obviously, in your pocket too,” Chris countered at once. “After all, Spencer is now
on your side after being bought by you.”

He really is an idiot. How can he doubt Spencer at a time like this?
Given that more than half of the board members were groomed by Spencer, they naturally trusted him
unconditionally.
Unaware of that fact, Chris was puzzled as to what he did wrong.
“The agreement is genuine.” Holding the document up, Rodney showed it to everyone. “This debt repayment
agreement was written two years ago by Mr. Nacht for Ms. Lindberg. As for the supplementary agreement, Mr.
Nacht himself handed it to me before his accident.”
He continued, “At that point in time, the eight lawyers from Divine Corporation and I were present. All of us watched
Mr. Nacht draft the supplementary agreement in person. In fact, he even engaged a public notary to bear witness
to it. Consequently, the authenticity of the agreement has been put beyond doubt.”
Finally, Rodney added, “The four public notaries present that day are right outside. If you need further evidence, we
can get them to come in here.”
Chris was shocked by the revelation. Even though he wasn't familiar with commercial hostilities, he was cognizant
that eight lawyers and four public notaries were more than enough to attest to the authenticity of the agreements.
Suddenly, Jesse's expression drastically changed. After glaring at Charlotte with murderous intent, he turned and
left.
“Mr. Gold? Mr. Gold...” Panicking, Chris ran after him and asked softly, “You're leaving? What am I going to do?”
“Zachary sure is a shrewd man indeed,” Jesse murmured under his breath with gritted teeth. “I didn't expect him to
leave a trump card behind in his absence!”
“Does this mean there's nothing we can do to change it?” Chris grew anxious. “In that case, I—”
“The boat has sailed,” Jesse seethed through his teeth. “Now, you should just shut up!”

“In that case—” Just before Chris could say anything, Jesse had left in a huff.
Furrowing his brows, Chris didn't know what to do. After pondering Jesse's intentions, he figured that the law was on
Charlotte's side. Hence, he had no choice but to allow Charlotte her stated share of Zachary's assets.
Nevertheless, considering that Nacht Group had been established for more than a century, he figured that it would
not be a big deal to give her just two and a half years' worth of profits.
Feeling a sense of relief, he returned to the conference room and held his forehead with his hand. With a grimacing
expression, he lamented, “Well, after that terrible bout of sickness, I can barely remember anything anymore.”
Now that the agreement had been proven to be genuine, he had no choice but to blame it on his poor memory.
“Perhaps, I was blinded back then to have made such a stupid decision,” Chris fumed.
“Do you mean that you're no longer doubting the authenticity of the agreement?” Rodney probed.
“To be safe, let's get the public notaries to come in here and verify it,” Spencer suggested. “Given the gravity of the
situation, I wish for everyone's patience as we clear the accounts.”
