"Obviously." Zachary gave her a sympathetic look. "Your father was someone exceptional and yet you didn’t inherit any of his capabilities. How can you not know something as simple as that?"
"I'll get to the bottom of this..."
Charlotte clenched her fists. Having been cheated of the money aside, Charlotte suspected that there might have been a conspiracy against her dad.
"Good luck." Zachary stood up to leave.
"Hey!" Charlotte called out to him, "Can't you help me with this?"
"Since you're not mine, why should I help you?" Zachary coolly replied. "If you were, I would definitely resolve it for you, no matter what it
takes."
"Sheesh!" Charlotte rolled her eyes at him. "I’ll just look for a lawyer myself."
"Up to you." Zachary turned to leave. Without looking back, he remarked, "After all, at nine-thirty tomorrow, you will be mine anyway if you can't produce the necklace."
Only then did Charlotte remember the debt repayment agreement and the deadline was nine-thirty at night.
What am I to do? The necklace has been taken by Luna to Arkfield. I definitely can't get it back.
That night, Charlotte kept turning in her bed and couldn't sleep. One moment, she would think about the Delivery from Hell. Another moment, she thought about Zachary and Gigolo’s identity. And then she thought about her father's matter...
She felt as if her brain was going to explode.
Shaking her head, she reminded herself to stop overthinking and to take things step-by-step.
Soon, it was daybreak and Charlotte could finally get some sleep. However, her phone suddenly rang and she answered it in a daze. It was Luna screaming from the other end of the line.
"Charlotte, you b*tch! Hector is going to divorce me just because of you!"
Charlotte hadn't slept for the whole night. Yet, the moment she closed her eyes, she heard a furious voice cursing and swearing away. For a while, she didn't realize what was going on.
"It was obviously your children who lost my bracelet. Since you had no money to pay for it, you gave me your necklace as collateral. And yet, you play the victim card in front of my husband? He has just called me and ordered me to send the necklace back. Or else, he is going to divorce me."
