Despite the animosity in his tone, Zachary’s words carried the weight of a man’s responsibility and promise.
Charlotte expressed her gratitude again and was then stumped for words.
“Why are you so useless?” He glared at her. “Aren’t you always acting like a tyrant whenever you’re with me? Why were you being such a coward in front of him?”
His bombardment of questions stunned her. “When was I acting like a coward? I retorted him!”
“Retorted? You should’ve thrown that contract right in his face!” Zachary was exasperated. “Didn’t you see the way he picked on you? Grow a spine, why don’t you?”
Charlotte was speechless.
“You only bare your teeth at your own family, but you’re a coward whenever you deal with outsiders!” the man spat out with a glare before turning to leave.
Charlotte stared at his back, unable to retaliate.
Bare my teeth at my own family? Are we even still considered family?
As that thought crossed her mind, an unusual emotion surged within her.
Upon getting into his car, Zachary ordered Ben, “Gather all the shareholders of the Gymnasium Project and have them see me in three days.”
“Yes, Sir.” Ben relayed his order at once.
At the same time, Zachary’s phone kept ringing. Seeing that it was Robert trying to reach him, he rejected the call and blocked the latter’s number.
“I’ve contacted all the shareholders,” said Ben after hanging up his phone. “What do you intend to do, Mr. Nacht?”
“Robert has gone too far. He knows who Charlotte is to me, yet he went ahead and tried to push her around.” Zachary seethed. “It’s about time I teach him a lesson.”
“Understood.” Ben understood how protective he was of Charlotte. No matter what became of their relationship, Zachary would never let anyone pick on her.
Besides, the fact that Robert completely defied his warning and came looking for Charlotte infuriated Zachary even more.
Ben would have tried to talk his boss out of doing anything rash if it were before. However, he no longer intended to do so, considering Zachary’s condition.
