“Leave us,” ordered Charlotte.
Her bodyguards collectively mumbled a “yes” and retreated from the room.
Charlotte looked at Amanda. “Can you tell me now?”
Amanda sighed, her voice solemn. “Back when I really put you through hell and concealed everything about father’s affairs, I’m assuming you think that Uncle Simon and I caused your father’s demise.”
“There’s no doubt that we were after your father’s money, but we did not harm a single hair on his head. To put it bluntly, our family depended on your father to survive. It would not benefit us if any harm came to him. “
“However, there was something that we did hide from you.”
Amanda paused briefly as she plucked up the courage to make the admission. “Your father was murdered.”
“By who?” asked Charlotte anxiously.
“Well…” Amanda trailed off and frowned. She felt conflicted by this.
Simon then had to shake her a little to make her continue. “Tell her.”
“I don’t know who it is exactly,” said Amanda in a low voice. “But I do know that it is someone from the Nacht family.”
Charlotte was astonished and her eyes widened in shock. The Nachts had a hand in this?
“Don’t get me wrong, but I’m not talking about Mr. Nacht. I really doubt it’s him.” Amanda hurriedly continued. “At first, I only knew that it was someone who used the Nacht Group to put pressure on the Windt Corporation. It was a hostile takeover, so your father had no choice but to yield.”
Just then, Mr. Nacht and the Divine Corporation had yet to enter the domestic market, so this is why I don’t think it’s him. It has to be someone else from the family, but I’m just not sure who it is exactly.”
Charlotte’s emotions were a mess after she heard this. I don’t think it’s Zachary either, but who could it be?
