He let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, make sure you take them, and let know when you do."
Mr. Zachmann nodded, his gaze gentle, "I know."
They talked briefly.
Caryn Zachmann noticed the health supplents Mr. Zachmann and the others ntioned that Nathalie Quinlan provided, and examined them closely, finding the white pills in the bottle surprisingly similar to the so-called highly valuable dicine from the Black Market that Mateo Gordon had previously given her.
She didn’t believe that the ’purchased’ unlicensed supplents by Nathalie Quinlan for Mr. Zachmann would be related to the Black Market hard-to-find small pills that Mateo Gordon gifted her.
Caryn Zachmann bit her lip, withdrew her gaze, eyes filled with disdain and her usual arrogant indifference.
...
Finally.
Mr. Yancey arrived fashionably late, accompanied by the butler.
Shawn Norton ca shortly after.
And Owen Yapiter, who rushed here by high-speed train, also arrived.
The arrival of these three people left not only Hendrik Zachmann and others but also Leonardy Zachmann and Stanley Zachmann puzzled about what their father was planning.
Feeling a bit uneasy, Leonardy Zachmann whispered, "Dad, why did you call Mr. Yancey and the others? What’s really going on?"
Mr. Zachmann didn’t answer him.
Or rather, he completely ignored him, turning instead to greet the newcors, instructing the nursing ho nurse to bring so chairs.
His gaze swept around the roomful of people and finally settled on Caryn Zachmann.
Calmly and steadily, he said, "I called everyone here today, putting my old face on the line, to witness sothing."
Among the few, Shawn Norton, being the most straightforward, couldn’t hold his impatience, glanced at the room filled with Zachmann Family mbers, and not seeing Nathalie Quinlan around, asked, "What’s the matter? With such a grand gathering, it can’t be sothing trivial."
"To , it’s at least an important matter that needs your witness." Mr. Zachmann paused again, his cloudy eyes were never as clear and sharp as now: "...Today, I need you to witness not just one matter, but two."
Shawn Norton frowned, clueless about what tricks he was playing.
Others were equally intrigued, waiting for him to continue.
Mr. Zachmann had no intention of keeping them in suspense, nor was he in the mood, he imdiately said, "The first matter is that I want to formally announce my chosen heir."
Leonardy Zachmann and Stanley Zachmann both looked at him, their expressions surprised.
Yet Mr. Zachmann didn’t look at anyone, not even at his previously favored grandson, Hendrik Zachmann, he continued calmly and steadily: "I’ve chosen the Zachmann Family’s heir."
"It’s my granddaughter."
Caryn Zachmann abruptly raised her head, feeling a mix of nervousness, surprise, and anticipation.
The next mont, she was cast into despair.
"Nathalie Quinlan."
Nathalie Quinlan?
Celine Tucker, Leonardy Zachmann, Leonardy Zachmann...
Even Hendrik Zachmann, Audrick Zachmann, and Caryn Zachmann were all stunned, not expecting Mr. Zachmann to announce it so publicly.
The last ti their families separated, Mr. Zachmann left the old house to Room One’s family, which actually hinted at this.
But he didn’t clarify.
Unspoken matters usually remain sowhat controversial.
However, this ti, Mr. Zachmann called so many big shots in Beijing to announce that his chosen heir is not one of the sons, Stanley Zachmann or Leonardy Zachmann.
Instead, it’s Nathalie Quinlan, who just ca from McKinney to Beijing, not even half a year ago!
This outco was sowhat unexpected.
After all, the Zachmann Family has been developing well over the years, with very accomplished descendants.
Mr. Zachmann skipping two sons, and among the grandchildren, there’s Hendrik Zachmann and Caryn Zachmann, both of whom seem outstanding to outsiders.
Only Audrick Zachmann is in the entertainnt circle, which doesn’t seem respectable to others.
By logic, no matter how Mr. Zachmann chose, the heir of the Zachmann Family should not fall to Nathalie Quinlan.
