Hector was overwhelmed by her words. He got emotional and questioned her, "Why are you voicing out for him? Is he really that good in your heart?"
"I guess so."
Charlotte didn't want to compliment Zachary in front of him. But judging from the situation, Hector was indeed no match for Zachary.
"You've changed. You would never commit yourself to anyone for any reason. But now, you're doing it for power...”
Hector paused as he couldn't bring himself to say further. Thinking of the intimacy between Charlotte and Zachary, his heart ached so much.
"Everyone likes a powerful man. No one gives a damn to a useless man." Charlotte purposely said that to provoke him.
Zachary was pleased by her words. He looked at her with faint smile.
"You..." Hector couldn't believe what he had just heard. He was perplexed with her words. He never thought Charlotte Windt whom he knew would say something like that.
"Take care." Charlotte didn't want to talk to him anymore. She walked away with Zachary.
"Charlotte Windt!"
Hector yelled at the top of his lungs. It was the first time he called her by her full name.
Charlotte stopped in her tracks, waiting for Hector to finish his speech.
He spoke slowly, articulating each word loud and clear, "I'll remember every single word that you said to me today. Just you wait, I'll make sure you regret it!"
Without saying a word, Charlotte strode away.
Provoked by her hurtful words, Hector grabbed the wine bottle and smashed it onto the floor. The bottle instantly shattered into a thousand pieces, just like how his feelings towards Charlotte finally crumbled to dust.
Charlotte walked at a fast pace as she wanted to get out of the room as soon as possible. She just wanted to disappear from Hector's world forever.
At the moment, all the fond memories she had of Hector faded away along with the broken glass shards. It was beyond repair.
