qAfter a few seconds of silence, Charlotte said calmly, “This is the Nacht family's matter. You shouldn't bother yourself over this, Ms. Gold.”
“That's enough, Charlotte!” bellowed Nancy. “Can you tell me what happened? Aren't you two supposed to get married? Why was there a fire at Southridge? Why did Mr. Nacht go missing? Why—”
Instead of replying, Charlotte pressed the window switch silently.
“Charlotte, you—”
Nancy rapped on the car window angrily, trying to stop Charlotte. However, the window was already shut.

“What are they trying to do?” Charlotte frowned.

As there were no updates regarding the wedding, and Mr. Spencer had fallen ill and is still unconscious, those at the headquarter probably realized that something bad had happened to Mr. Nacht. So...”
“Three in the afternoon.” Charlotte glanced at her watch. “I'll attend the board meeting on time.”
“All right, I'll relay the message.” Lucy continued, “Also, some important clients have requested to meet Mr. Nacht. About the Gymnasium Project—”
