“That’s true. I suppose you’re right.” The next moment, Henry mocked, “Those two adults are not as
clever as Robbie. Do you really think they are capable of teaching Robbie that?”
Spencer tittered. “Oh, Mr. Nacht, that is too unfair to Mr. Zachary. We all know he’s a clever person.”
“Hmph! That cheeky rascal is indeed guileful.” Henry was unhappy when he thought of Zachary. “He
might not have taught Robbie that, but I’m sure he was the one who asked the kids to persuade me.”
Spencer, too, could tell that Zachary was the one behind all that. ”You’re right, or the kids wouldn’t come
home half an hour earlier.”
Henry was distressed when he thought about the kids’ persuasion. “Even though it was the cheeky
rascal’s idea to have the kids persuade me, but I know the kids really meant what they said.”
“Mr. Nacht, do allow me to be honest with you.” Spencer stole a glance at Henry’s expression before he
continued speaking, “The kids are very determined to stay with their mother. If you insist on separating
the family, they will definitely hate you. The kids are strong-minded, especially Mr. Robinson. If he really
leaves with his mother, then I’m afraid…”
Before he could finish his words, Henry interrupted him. “You silly old bugger! You know I’m frustrated
right now, and you’re still going to scare me? You should think of something to help me out!”
He hammered the ground with his cane in anger.
Spencer was frightened as he took a step backward. He then said with a hint of uncertainty, “Mr. Nacht, if
I tell you my opinion on this matter, I’m afraid you will be mad at me.”
“I won’t. Go ahead, tell me.” Henry was at his wit’s end. He really needed someone else’s opinion.
“Um… Well… Actually, I think…” Spencer was hesitant. Eventually, he bit the bullets and spoke his mind,
“Mr. Zachary is determined to marry Ms. Windt, and the two of them already have three children. It’s
impossible that you could separate them. Why don’t you give your blessing to them?”
“You old silly bugger! I asked you to think of a way to separate them, but now you’re helping them to
persuade me?”
Henry angrily hit Spencer with his cane. Though, the force he used was much smaller than when he hit
Zachary.
After all, unlike Zachary, who was tough enough to withstand his beatings, Spencer was almost eighty
years old now.
Spencer complained, “You said you wouldn’t be mad! And now you lose your temper. How could you not
keep your promise?”
“How dare you talk back!” Henry’s anger was further aroused.
Spencer was quick to apologize, “I wouldn’t dare to. Mr. Nacht. To be honest, I said that because I
thought of Mr. Harrison.”
The butler mentioned Harrison’s name in a barely audible voice.
Harrison, Zachary’s late father, was a man world-famous for his talents. He was not interested in doing
business, and he was strong-willed in marrying the woman he loved.
Yet, he was forced by Henry to learn how to do business. Not only that, but the latter had also forced him
to leave his girlfriend and marry a woman from a noble family. Eventually, Harrison didn’t achieve any
success in his career, and his love life was a mess.
To Henry’s eternal regret and loss, Harrison and his wife died at an early age in an accident.
Henry would definitely be angry if someone dared mention Harrison in front of him. Yet, at that point, he
was not, for his butler had spoken his mind and pointed out his biggest worry.
“The Lindberg family indeed has unshirkable responsibility for the tragedy, but if we didn’t force Mr.
Harrison, perhaps…” Spencer stopped mid-sentence, not daring to continue.
He stole a glance at Henry’s expression before speaking out in a low voice, “I think Mr. Zachary’s love for
Ms. Windt is comparable or even exceeds Mr. Harrison’s for that woman from the Lindberg family.
“I’m afraid if we insist on separating them, the same tragedy will happen again.
“Mr. Nacht, you’re ninety-six years old now. If anything happens to Mr. Zachary, do you think you have
that much time to cultivate Mr. Robinson into becoming the heir of the Nacht family?”
