“You are the wife of Zachary Nacht,” he declared as he returned her hug. “No spectacle is too grand for

you. Besides, you are the second-largest shareholder in Lindberg Corporation! An entourage this size

is still not big enough for your worth.”

Charlotte snorted before doing a double-take. “Second largest?” she asked, confused. “How much

exactly did Danrique give me?”

“Twenty-five percent, I heard,” Zachary sighed. “My wife is now the richest woman in the world!”

“Rubbish!” Charlotte exclaimed, hardly daring to believe it.

Zachary rubbed her cheeks. “Twenty-five percent of Lindberg Corporation, fifty-five of Nacht Group,

and that's not mentioning me working endlessly to bolster your coffer. Name me another woman in the

world of equal wealth to you at this very moment.”

“Twenty-five?” Charlotte repeated in a daze. “Danrique gave me twenty-five percent, you say?”

Zachary nodded patiently. “Yes, my dear. Twenty-five percent. The best part is that your shares are

permanently yours now. Danrique had only granted you temporary ownership of the shares the first

time you went home, which could be taken away at any time. This time, nobody will have a say in what

you do with them.”

Charlotte was visibly nervous.

“Twenty percent was left to me by my mother, I understand that. What I don't understand is how I

ended up with the remainder as a result of your wager?”

“You are my wife. Who else is it going to?” Zachary rolled his eyes at her. “I'm actually looking forward

to you becoming richer so that I can finally retire. When I do, I'll be looking to you to feed me!”

Charlotte failed to stifle a laugh. “No pressure, right?”

“Don't worry,” Zachary reassured her with a peck on her forehead.

“Danrique and I have your back. Get it done quickly in Erihal, will you? The wedding will be held on the

ninth.”

“What?” Charlotte gasped. “I'm getting married on the ninth? How is this the first time I'm hearing about

this?”

“Well, I'm telling you now, aren’t I? I've got it all under control, don't you

worry.”

“It's my wedding!” she protested. “Shouldn't the bride be at least informed of the date of her own

wedding ahead of everybody else?”

“I didn't broadcast it to avoid any unwanted attention if that’s any consolation.” Zachary stroked her hair.

“Off you go, then. You are to return on the third.”

“Isn't that cutting it close? Today's already the thirtieth...”

“Do as I say!” Zachary said sharply before turning to Ben. “Keep things moving as planned,

understand?”

“Yes, Mr. Nacht!”

Charlotte knew that she wouldn't be able to win the argument. Without further ado, she bid the children

farewell before getting into the car obediently.

Marino smiled. “Mr. Nacht only does it to protect you, Madam.” Draмa?ovеls.cом

“That's right. I'd heard Sean said that his side was good to go as well,” Lupine added.
