q“Ms. Lindberg, I'll get right to the point since there's only the both of us here,” Ben said somberly. “Since you've been in the company of Sir Robert for quite some time, you should know he's an avaricious person. As of now, he won't regard you as an equal because you don't have a strong backing. Not only will you not gain anything from negotiating with him, but you may even infuriate him.”
“That's true.”
Charlotte lowered her head in deep thought. If Zachary didn't come forward during the incident regarding the refund of my investment fund, Sir Robert might've already pocketed that twenty billion. He's an unreasonable man, so it's pointless no matter how I plan to negotiate with him.
“I suggest you let us handle this matter,” Ben advised. “Please be assured. Based on my understanding of Mr. Nacht's character, he won't harm Sir Louis. Especially...”
He felt slightly awkward to speak of it. “Especially if he knows there's nothing between you and Sir Louis. He will be even lenient with him.”
“Mm.” Charlotte nodded. “I agree with the arrangement. Anything else you want to add?”
“Two more things...” Ben glanced at Lupine as he said earnestly, “I want to ask you for Lupine's hand. I will take good care of her. Please believe me.”
“Ms. Lindberg, I'll get right to the point since there's only the both of us here,” Ben said somberly. “Since you've been in the company of Sir Robert for quite some time, you should know he's an avaricious person. As of now, he won't regard you as an equal because you don't have a strong backing. Not only will you not gain anything from negotiating with him, but you may even infuriate him.”
“I believe you, but—”
“I know you need her too. I'm not saying now, but in the future, after the matters of the Lindberg family are resolved, and everything has settled down...”
“I don't have any objections if she's willing.” Charlotte felt gratified. “I'm happy that you brought this up with me.”
“Thank you.” Ben nodded his head with gratitude. “Lastly...” His voice trailed off as he hesitated to tell her about Zachary's condition.
Will Mr. Nacht chase me out if I tell her? With his character, he might really do so. I don't care about myself, but currently, he needs people he can trust by his side, so I can't leave at such a juncture.
