“The audacity!” A thunderous voice boomed from the courtyard.
Tensing up a little, Zachary quickly gave Louis a look.
“Charlotte, let’s go…” Louis got the cue and began dragging Charlotte into the car.
“Louis, what are you doing?”
Charlotte felt rather displeased, but with the bigger picture in mind, she eventually complied. Glaring at Zachary, she uttered, “Zachary, you’d better give me a proper response tonight!”
Zachary frowned at her and did a shooing gesture.
The moment Louis got on the car, he urged the driver to get going.
Screech!
Just as the car left the courtyard, the gates opened, and Spencer emerged with Henry in his wheelchair.
As they watched the car speed off in the distance, Henry’s expression darkened. “Who was the woman who spoke just now? How arrogant!”
“Someone from Lindberg Corporation,” Zachary replied curtly.
“How preposterous!” Henry was enraged. “She was so rude and insolent the other day at Northridge, yet she dares come knocking on our door? The sheer audacity of that woman! Spencer, go run a background check on that woman!”
“Understood!”
“There’s no need for that.” Zachary immediately cut him off. “She’s Danrique Lindberg’s sister and the second-largest shareholder of Lindberg Corporation.”
“I knew it! It’s no wonder that she’s obscenely rude!” Henry snarled.
Giving Zachary a scathing look, he then ordered, “Let me tell you this. Don’t let her off so easily just because she’s a woman. The next time she tries something like this, you’re going to fight back on behalf of the Nacht family!”
“Yes, I understand.” Zachary nodded profusely and even gave him words of reassurance. “Please don’t worry. I know how to deal with people like that. I won’t let it happen again.”
She won’t be able to act that arrogant once she marries me…
