Chapter 1141
Robert made a bold guess. Is Danrique saying that Zachary's days are numbered?
When that thought flashed across his mind, Robert paled. He scanned his surroundings anxiously as his heart
pounded rapidly.
Looks like Danrique has never forgotten the grudge between the Nachts and the Lindbergs. He must have sent
someone to assassinate Zachary...
This is not a minor issue. The Laurent family must not be involved!
Robert patted his chest and hurried up the stairs to look for Louis.
In his room, Louis was calling his friends excitedly and telling them that he was about to get married. His friends
were all overjoyed for him.
One of them was a shareholder of the Gymnasium Project in Pillere. When he heard that Louis was going to get

and you didn't turn up, we guessed that both of you had a fight. So it's because you're going to get married! You
must be so busy accompanying your future wife that you don't have any time.”
“Zachary gathered all of you for a meeting? Did he mention me? Did he say why?”
Louis felt uneasy. Is Zachary going to withdraw from the project because he feels humiliated and angry that I'm
with Charlotte?
If he withdraws, the project will be halted. How can I find such a huge sum of money to replace his?
“It's because of the project, of course. What's wrong? Didn't you know about it?”
“I've been in Erihal for the past few days because I was busy with the marriage.” Although Louis felt uneasy, he
trusted Zachary. “Just listen to Zachary regarding the project. He's more experienced than me.”
“Okay. I'm going to a ball soon! He probably already knows that you're getting married, right?”
“Not yet. I called you first.”
“Inform him quickly! We can celebrate this good news at night.”
“I...”
“My wife's chasing me! I'll hang up now.”
After the call ended, Louis gripped his phone. His joy had already disappeared and was replaced by a feeling of
distress.
He did not know how to bring this up to Zachary, nor how to face him.
Even if he avoided Zachary deliberately, the project still had to continue.
What should I do?
“Are you feeling troubled now?” When Robert's voice sounded, Louis was startled. Whipping his head around, he
asked in shock, “When did you come in, Dad?”
“Since a while ago.”
Robert sat on the sofa opposite him. After the maid passed him a cup of coffee, he dismissed the rest with a wave

Robert took a sip of coffee before saying solemnly, “We've not announced the news yet, but Zachary has already
called for a shareholder meeting. Looks like he wants to withdraw from the project and catch us off guard.”
“No way, right?”
Louis felt a bit uneasy because the same thought was circling in his mind.
Having known Zachary for so long, he knew that Zachary was not a man to be trifled with.
Now that he had snatched his wife and children away, Zachary would definitely be furious. It was understandable if
he wanted to retaliate.
“You know very well if he would do that or not,” scoffed Robert. “Do you think that Zachary's that harmless?”
“I'd understand if he does it, though.” Louis lowered his head. “After all, I let him down first. Even if he wants to cut
off all ties with me, I can't blame him.”
Robert was furious when he heard that. “They've broken up a long time ago! You didn't forcefully tear them apart,
so how have you let him down? Furthermore, a relationship is supposed to be mutual. You didn't force Charlotte to
marry you, anyway...”
“You can phrase it that way, but...” Louis was still uneasy. “Things are going to get awkward the next time we
meet.”
