“The issue is too grave, so he didn’t dare to keep it a secret. Who would’ve thought that Mr. Henry’s worst
nightmare would come true, after all?”
“Yeah, sometimes, it feels like it is unavoidable…” murmured Zachary sadly.
“You’re right about that. If we had known earlier, we would never send Ms. Windt away…” replied Spencer.
“Life is never predictable.”
Zachary had calmed down at that point. In the past, he would get riled up when he talked about the issue, but he
was at ease at that moment.
“I was shocked and saddened to learn the whole truth. Life truly is unpredictable. Who would’ve thought that the
innocent and kind Charlotte Windt will turn into what she is now?” commented Spencer as he frowned at Zachary.
“It’s like they’re two completely different people, but her kind soul, the part that matters, remained,” replied
Zachary. Even thinking about Charlotte got his gaze to turn softer.
“You’re right. If she hadn’t shown up to help us today, Kyle and the other bodyguards would all be sacrificed. The
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfamily truly owes her a debt for what she did today,” agreed Spencer.
“We owe her so much more than that. Mrs. Berry died because of us, and the pain and humiliation Charlotte had to
endure all those years ago…” said Zachary. He grinned bitterly and looked like he was mocking himself.
“Yeah,” murmured Spencer before he sighed and added, “I’m sure Mr. Henry will regret his past decisions if he
learns about all of this. However, that is not the most urgent issue now…”
Spencer spoke in a meaningful tone when he said that last sentence…
“Don’t worry, I’ll take the kids over to visit Grandpa soon. Keep this a secret from him for now so that he won’t be
triggered,” informed Zachary, who knew what Spencer was really talking about.
“Understood,” replied Spencer before he nodded.
“I will deal with everything else. Your job is to take care of Grandpa. You’re getting older too, so you shouldn’t worry
too much either,” consoled Zachary.
“Right,” agreed Spencer, who seemed a little embarrassed about getting Zachary worried.
“Go and get some rest. I’d like to be alone with Grandpa for now.”
“Understood.”
Spencer left soon after.
Zachary sat there quietly and guarded over Henry…
Before anyone knew it, it was already dawn.
Zachary was so tired that he ended up sleeping on the chair. He didn’t wake up until the phone in his pocket
vibrated. He groggily answered the call, “Hello?”
“Mr. Nacht, something happened to the company,” informed Lucy nervously from the other side of the line.
“What’s wrong?” asked Zachary while frowning.
“Someone hacked into the company’s system, the new software that is about to hit the market suddenly
malfunctioned, and the internet is suddenly flooded with nasty rumors involving Nacht Group. In short, a series of
problems popped up last night, and everything is aimed at you.
“Please hurry over. Journalists have surrounded the building, and the shareholders are all nervous. Everyone in the
office is also panicking. Mr. Sterk is rushing over as well…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I got it. I’ll be there soon,” informed Zachary before he instructed, “Lock the doors and stop the journalists from
entering the headquarters. I will solve the issues when I get back.”
“Understood.”
Zachary narrowed his eyes and thought things through after he hung up.
He was the one who set up the security system for Divine Corporation, so there was no way an ordinary hacker
could get into their system…
I paid extra attention to the new software as well, so it shouldn’t have suddenly malfunctioned like this.
Moreover, every media corporation has profited off of Nacht Group, so no one would make us look bad…
Unless there is someone making demands from behind the scenes. No average Joe could accomplish all three, so…
Brrt! Bruce was calling from the other end of the line.
Zachary picked up the call and immediately asked, “Is Danrique here?”
“Yeah, how did you know? I was about to report the matter to you,” replied Bruce in astonishment before he added,
“I just received news that Danrique’s plane has landed in H City. He will be attending the South Sea opening
ceremony tomorrow.”
“What date is it again?” asked Zachary. He was so busy that he couldn’t keep track of the dates anymore.
“Tomorrow’s twelve. They preponed everything by a day,” answered Bruce.
