“Your subordinate had explained to me and even sent me back to Yaleview.” Olivia added, “We were worried about you. So, we decided to visit you on the weekend.”
“Let talk in the study.”
After inviting them to the study, Charlotte instructed the maid to prepare some coffee.
Looking at Charlotte, Jeffrey was getting all emotional. He remarked, “After the incident at the wedding, we heard about how you and Mrs. Berry got into trouble. I was really…”
Just as he spoke, Jeffrey’s voice began to break. “I hated myself for being powerless to do anything. Or else, I would have held the Nacht family accountable!”
“Mr. Judd, it’s all over now. So, let’s not talk about that anymore,” Olivia reminded softly.
“Yes, yes. You’re right.”
Jeffrey regained his composure.
On their way to see Charlotte, Olivia had repeatedly reminded him not to bring up the past. Charlotte had a new life now that came with new considerations of her own. Hence, they shouldn’t influence her decision in any way.
“How have you been over the years?” Charlotte changed the topic.
“We’ve been good.” Jeffrey began talking about the factories. “The few factories that you invested in are doing very well. In fact, we have even built four more.”
“Really?” Charlotte was delighted at the news. “That’s good to know. At the very least, I didn’t disappoint my dad.”
“As for your money, I have saved it for you.” Jeffrey handed her a bank card and a ledger. “These are the accounts from the last two years and the bonus you deserved. In total, there’s about twenty million. It’s not much now but will increase in the future.”
“Please continue to keep it safe for me.” Charlotte pushed it back to him. “I’ll get it from you whenever I need it.”
“All right.” Jeffrey kept the items. “I’ll continue adding the dividends into the account in the future.”
