Johann and Spencer gaped at Charlotte. They had no idea what she was getting at.

Though some board members remained skeptical, they held important positions in the company. If they

were to leave, the company would be in a total mess and had to stop operation.

“Charlotte Lindberg, this is too much!” Kalium exclaimed, slamming on the table. He rose to his feet

and declared, “She's messing around to destroy Nacht Group!”

“What will I get in return when Nacht Group is destroyed?” Charlotte retorted icily. “Even if you refuse to

admit it, my children are the heirs to the company. Mr. Henry Nacht has left his shares to them.”

The rest promptly calmed down at her words.

Those who were talking earlier quietened down and gazed at her curiously, for they were unsure what

she meant.

“You can doubt me, but I won't allow you to doubt Henry or my husband,”

Charlotte announced haughtily. “I believe you know Henry's will. Before his death, he left everything to

his greatgrandchildren, and I am their mother. That means I'm their guardian for now. My husband has

also transferred his shares and assets to me. You should know that they are smart and capable

enough to avoid being controlled by a woman. Why can't you trust their decisions? Instead of seeing

what I can do, you immediately found fault with me. What will you gain from kicking me out? If Nacht

Group is in a mess, who will take charge? Kalium?”

At her explanation, everyone swiveled around to stare at Kalium.

Spencer was beaming inwardly. Good job for turning the target to Kalium! She successfully made

everyone assume that Kalium is creating trouble because he's ambitious enough to take over the

president's

position.

Kalium's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly explained, “That wasn't what I meant! I only

want the best for Nacht Group and the Nacht family. The Lindbergs are our enemy. I did nothing wrong

by questioning you!”

“You can question me, but instigating the others isn't the right thing to do,” came Charlotte's cool

answer. “This isn't our company's anniversary. I didn't receive any reminder in advance, but thirteen

board members from the headquarter turned up in H City. What about your jobs? This is a clear threat.”

“No, don't make things up.”

“You know what you did,” Charlotte said harshly. “Everyone here is smart enough to know that.”

“How dare—”

“Let me repeat myself.” Charlotte swung around to face the rest of the board members. “Those who

want to leave can sign on the resignation letter. I'll approve it without further delay!”

The other board members exchanged looks without saying anything.

Some of them hung their heads low in order to avoid being named.

In fact, none of them wanted to leave. To become a board member or upper management in Nacht

Group was a dream come true for most of them.

“Kalium.” Charlotte turned to look at Kalium.

“Why? Are you going to force me to resign?” Kalium rebutted in a fit of rage. “Impossible! I've been

working in Nacht Group for thirty years and I deserve credit for my efforts! I won't leave!”

“I'm glad you'll stay.” A grin appeared on Charlotte's lips as her tone grew soft. “We can still be a family

if you stay. The outside world is waiting for something to happen to Nacht Group after Zachary went

missing. We should work together

to face our enemies together!”

The tension within the room quickly dissipated.

Besides giving Kalium an out, she also exuded warmth as though everyone here was part of the family

facing the same problem.
