"You rascal!" Old Mr. Nacht was quivering with wrath.
Sharon was completely speechless. At first, she thought that persuading her father to convince old Mr. Nacht to come would make it easier for her to take Zachary down a notch and speed up their marriage.
Never had she expected things to unfold this way...
Charlotte twitched her lips in helplessness. She thought that by saying those words, old Mr. Nacht would be fumed and chuck her out as well as forbid Zachary from seeing her.
And she would be able to break free from his claws.
And yet...
She had underestimated the devilry within Zachary.
"Grandpa, don't be upset." Zachary rose from his seat and walked over to massage his grandfather's back. "You have to take care of your health and not let your emotions jeopardize it. What if anything happens to you because of that? You won't be able to meet your greatgrandchildren then."
Charlotte felt a shiver down her spine. Old Mr. Nacht mustn't know about the three children. Otherwise, he would definitely take them away.
"You rascal-"
Furious, old Mr. Nacht gave Zachary a heavy punch.
"Don't get angry, Grandpa. Relax..." Sharon got up from her seat and quickly calmed old Mr. Nacht. Simultaneously, she berated Charlotte, "It's all because of you. Aren't you going to leave now?"
Charlotte came back to her senses and immediately stood up to leave.
Raina walked over and supported her.
After hopping into the car, Charlotte leaned back on the seat with a hopeless face.
There goes my last hope. Does it mean I'll never be able to get rid of Zachary for the rest of my life?
"Mr. Nacht is also at pains to throw off this arranged marriage which is why he's deliberately contending with Old Mr. Nacht," said Raina. "At this juncture, you should maintain a unified front with him."
"Me?" Charlotte gave her a wry smile. "I can't wait for him to marry Sharon as soon as possible and let go of me."
She was speaking against her own will when she said that.
It was true that she was trying to be rid of him, but seeing him getting married to Sharon wasn't what she really wanted.
