"It's better if we stay friends." Charlotte nipped his idea in the bud.
"Why?" Hector frowned. "Is it because of Mr. Nacht?"
"It has nothing to do with anyone else." Charlotte smiled wryly. "Sometimes, there's nothing we can do to change the past. We should look ahead instead."
Hector clenched his fists in silence.
"Call me when you get the necklace." Charlotte stood up to leave. "I'm going now. You take care."
"Don't you ever wonder about why your father died?" Hector exclaimed softly.
Charlotte stopped in her tracts and sat down.
"Hector, do you know something?" "You should ask Zachary when you get back."
Hector’s voice was grim.
"What do you mean?” Charlotte inquired anxiously. "Are you saying that Zachary has something to do with my dad's death?"
Hector had a troubled look on his face. After a long silence, he changed topics. "Forget it, your life is peaceful now. I don't want you to get into trouble."
"Does he really have something to do with it?" Charlotte widened her eyes in shock. "Impossible. It can't be true."
"Do you trust him that much?" Hector furrowed his eyebrows.
"You're not telling me everything." Charlotte grew
desperate. "What do you know? Spit it out."
After some hesitation, Hector replied softly, "It was Nacht Group's hostile takeover that caused the Windt Corporation to go bankrupt in three days. And your father couldn't accept it..."
"What?"
