Charlotte picked up her phone and did a simple online search for Zachary, and she was surprised to find tons of information on just how powerful he was.
Divine Corporation was just one of the many tiny companies under Zachary’s name, and there was no telling just how many companies he owned in total.
No wonder the Sterlings wanted to establish ties with him!
Suddenly, Charlotte’s phone rang. It was a call from Mrs. Berry, and she picked it up immediately. “Hi, Mrs. Berry.”
“Miss, we have a guest,” Mrs. Berry said, sounding anxious.
“Guest?” Charlotte asked, confused. Since when did anyone bother to visit us?
“I’ll talk to her…” another voice rang. “Charlotte! It’s me, Aunt Amanda!”
“Aunt Amanda?” Charlotte said, her heart sinking into her stomach. Amanda was her cousin Luna’s mother, and she was the last person Charlotte expected to appear at her house.
“Charlotte, Luna told me that you’re back, so I came to visit you and the kids. Your Uncle Simon misses you, you know…”
“Aunt Amanda,” Charlotte said, cutting her off. “I’m not at home. Do you need help with anything?”
Charlotte never liked Amanda, for money and power was all she cared about.
Her uncle Simon Windt married into the White family years ago and cut off contact with the Windt family after that.
When the Windt family rose to the top, Simon practically begged Charlotte’s father Richard to spare him a position in Windt Corporation, to which the latter agreed out of brotherly love.
Simon and his family treated Richard and Charlotte well, but everything changed after the fall of Windt Corporation and Richard’s death. Simon and his family did not even bother to attend Richard’s funeral, and Charlotte lost contact with them shortly after.
After a while, she heard that Simon started a company called Grandeur Group and lived a comfortable life.
