Hearing those words got Taylor’s expression to take a sharp turn. He commented, “I thought you are sincere and are here to solve this issue today.”
“What issue do I need to solve? I don’t owe your family anything, do I?” challenged Zachary with his brows raised.
“Zachary Nacht, that is too much!” growled Taylor, who was completely infuriated.
He scolded harshly, “The Nacht family is the one who asked for Sharon’s hand in marriage, but you changed your mind at the last minute for the sake of some other woman! That humiliated my family and traumatized Sharon.
“Then, to cover up your lies, you had Cynthia pretend to be Charlotte and acted like your wife. She had been serving Henry like she was a maid and had been taking care of your children all this time.
“How could that effort count for nothing? Also, you could’ve just told her that you don’t like her. Why did you have to put on a show and ask her to help trick your grandpa?
“You are so heartless. You did all that just so that you can keep Henry at bay while you court Charlotte. Is that it? “You treated both my daughters as pawns and ruined their reputation and happiness!
“Also, why do you think the Lindberg family is coming after us? It’s all because Charlotte is jealous of Sharon, and that means that you are the root of all these problems! How can you still sit here and say that you don’t owe us anything?”
“Huh, so from your perspective, I do owe your family a lot,” scoffed Zachary as he nodded.
“But let me ask you something. Did I have anything to do with the engagement to Sharon? Aren’t you and my grandpa the ones who schemed behind my back this entire time?
“I’ve never agreed to it, and you know that I am not in love with her. Yet, you let your daughter come after me. At the end of the day, aren’t you just trying to ride on the Nacht family?”
“You…”
Zachary raised his hand and continued, “Let me finish. I’ll admit that I was wrong. It doesn’t matter if I was willing or not. At the end of the day, I didn’t fight hard enough to refuse you. Still, I paid your family thirty billion for canceling that engagement. That is a sizeable sum.
“As for Cynthia, I do owe her, and I’ve promised that I will repay her when the opportunity presents itself in the future. That is why I’ve asked the company to redirect some funds to help Synder Group out…”
