"Leave us," ordered Charlotte.

Her bodyguards collectively mumbled a "yes" and retreated from the room.

Charlotte looked at Amanda. "Can you tell me now?"

Amanda sighed, her voice solemn. "Back when I really put you through hell and concealed everything about father's affairs, I'm assuming you think that Uncle Simon and I caused your father's demise."

"There's no doubt that we were after your father's money, but we did not harm a single hair on his head. To put it bluntly, our family depended on your father to survive. It would not benefit us if any harm came to him. "

"However, there was something that we did hide from you."

Amanda paused briefly as she plucked up the courage to make the admission. "Your father was murdered."

"By who?" asked Charlotte anxiously.

"Well..." Amanda trailed off and frowned. She felt conflicted by this.

Simon then had to shake her a little to make her continue. "Tell her."

"I don't know who it is exactly," said Amanda in a low voice. "But I do know that it is someone from the Nacht family." Charlotte was astonished and her eyes widened in shock. The Nachts had a hand in this?

"Don't get me wrong, but I'm not talking about Mr. Nacht. I really doubt it's him." Amanda hurriedly continued. "At first, I only knew that it was someone who used the Nacht Group to put pressure on the Windt Corporation. It was a hostile takeover, so your father had no choice but to yield."

Just then, Mr. Nacht and the Divine Corporation had yet to enter the domestic market, so this is why I don't think it's him. It has to be someone else from the family, but I'm just not sure who it is exactly." Charlotte's emotions were a mess after she heard this. I don't think it's Zachary either, but who could it be?

"I was there on the day of your father's accident and remember him telling me something strange," whispered Simon. "He mentioned that the Nacht family couldn't replace out about you, or there would be trouble." "What do you mean?" asked Charlotte with suspicion in her tone.

"I don't know either." Simon looked thoughtfully at her. "I think it might have something to do with your mother."

"My mother?" Charlotte was even more confused by this. Her mother had disappeared shortly after she was born. What did the troubles with her father's company have to do with her mother?

"Maybe your mother had a spat with the Nacht family? This is purely speculation, of course. But I'd met her before when I was young." "At that time, your father was still poor, and your mother seemed to be the child of a prestigious family."

"Although I cannot determine what her background is, there's no mistaking the fact that she's lived a life of luxury. She was always followed around by a large number of bodyguards, and her trappings seemed to be no less than what our current Mr. Nacht would enjoy.

"You also look exactly like her. The resemblance is remarkable.

Charlotte didn't say a word because her mind was still a jumble from trying to process what he told her.

What exactly is going on?

What she possessed now was vital information indeed. But instead of clarity, she ended up having more questions than answers.

"Try not to dwell on it." Amanda, having read Charlotte's emotions, interjected almost immediately. "I think Mr. Nacht is being sincere. He isn't like Hector at all! That beast of a man is ignorant and ruthless. He knows that Helena is going to be the death of Luna, but he's not lifting a finger to help."

"We were truly blinded by the situation. We even intentionally approved of Luna's marriage to him. Come to think of it... This is probably retribution."

Amanda paused and sighed deeply before continuing.

"Charlotte, the reason why I'm telling you this is to warn you. Marrying into a rich family is complicated. Even if Mr. Nacht is there to protect you, his family is anything but simple. There will be times where his protection will fail. You must be careful and ensure that you keep yourself and the kids safe."

"You're right. I appreciate the warning."

Charlotte was still reeling from the emotions she felt. But she knew that Amanda was right. Zachary might be a good man, but if his family truly had such terrible people, she would not be able to escape their clutches if anything happened.
