Chapter 924

A satisfied smile spread across Danrique's lips as he watched everything from behind the stage.

Looks like those two years of education haven't been in vain, after all! Charlotte has the Lindberg family's excellent genes in her, so she's able to learn everything easily if taught with the right methods. It's like she's transformed into a completely different person in just two years! Equipped with both brains and brawns, she is now able to handle any situation with ease! One day, she'll become my most capable assistant ever and help me manage Lindberg Corporation!

"Now then, Ms. Lindberg and Sir Louis, please complete the opening ceremony!"

As the emcee announced the most crucial step, Charlotte and Louis got to their feet and walked up to the front of the stage.

They were supposed to place their hands on a translucent globe and wait for the laser to shine on the screen to complete the opening ceremony.

Louis had already placed his hand on the globe, but Charlotte was interrupted by a loud voice from the crowd when she reached her hand out. "Wait!"

She then paused and turned toward the direction of the voice, only to see a prosecutor approach her with a document in hand. "Who's in charge of the South Sea project?"

Charlotte pulled her hand back and slowly walked up to the prosecutor. "I am. Is something the matter?"

"Here's my identification. The South Sea project is incredibly detrimental to the marine life around the area, and we have official documents ordering the termination of the project!" the prosecutor said as he produced his identification and a document from a red folder.

The entire place went into an uproar upon hearing that, and even Charlotte was dumbfounded.

She then took the document over from the prosecutor, and the look in her eyes turned gloomy as she read through it.

"How did this happen?" Louis asked in shock.

Lindberg Corporation has spent thirty billion just to acquire South Sea's territorial waters, and the initiation of the project is going to cost hundreds of billions more! Why would the project be halted now? Not only would the company lose hundreds of billions, but it would also have its subsequent business plans affected! After all, who in their right minds would want to partner up with a company that faces such a huge issue before the project even starts?

Charlotte was starting to panic, but maintained a calm expression on her face as she said, "I want to see your superior. We've gotten the approvals required to carry out this project, so why only halt it now?" "I'm just here to deliver the order, so I'm not too sure about the details. If you have any questions, feel free to take it up with my superiors. The contact details are stated on this document." the prosecutor said coldly before turning around and leaving with his men.

As Charlotte's anger boiled inside her, the journalists continued snapping away and bombarding her with questions from below the stage.

"How much will this cost Lindberg Corporation, Ms. Lindberg? Is it as much as a hundred billion?"

"Do you think this is an act of sabotage by your rival company?"

"Do you have any plans for handling this, Ms. Lindberg?"

"The press conference will end here, thank you all for attending..."

The emcee and higher-ups quickly stepped in to control the situation while Lupine and the bodyguards escorted Charlotte to backstage.

Louis and his men were about to follow suit when a journalist asked him, "Sir Louis, will this incident affect your partnership with Lindberg Corporation?"

"No, it won't!" Louis replied before running after Charlotte. "Don't worry, Charlotte! I'll figure something out! I'm sure we'll..."

Bang!

Danrique kicked the coffee table over in a fit of rage, shattering the bottles of champagne and wine glasses they had prepared to celebrate the project's successful initiation. The floor was instantly covered in broken glass and champagne, scaring Louis so much that he took a step back in response.

The rest of the employees around them were terrified as well and didn't dare make a sound.

"I'm sorry, Danrique. It was my mistake..." Charlotte apologized with her head hung low.

Danrique narrowed his eyes and shouted through clenched teeth, "Damn you, Zachary... Looks like I've really underestimated you!"
