“Very good.” Zachary gave him a satisfied smile. “A man who knows and submits to his own circumstances is a wise man.”
“Mr. Nacht, can you-”
“Send him off.” Zachary gave no opportunity for Hector to speak.
The security guard entered the room to escort Hector out of the villa.
The entire time, Hector’s guilt-filled eyes were fixed on Charlotte, but the latter never lifted her head to look at him.What happened four years ago had been fate’s cruel trick, but everything that happened now was his choice.
No matter how stumped he was about the options, he still made the same decision he made back then—to give up on her in order to protect his family’s century-old company.
Four years ago, they were engaged when he abandoned her. She could feel aggrieved by his actions back then, but now, they barely had a relationship. She could not possibly hold a grudge against him for making a choice like this.
Nonetheless, his action was like a knife to her heart that could never be removed from now on.
This was the very end of their long love and regretful past.
“How do you feel?” Zachary nudged Charlotte’s leg with his toe as he crowed, “Have you finally given up on him?”
“Are you happy now?” Charlotte glared at him with eyes filled with hatred. “You’ve destroyed my last hope. Do you feel elated?”
“Have your mind not cleared up yet?” Zachary looked at her as if she was a fool. “The one who destroyed your hope was Hector, not me.”
Not wanting to continue speaking to him, Charlotte turned to leave. However, he tugged on her shirt, and she fell into his arms.
She tried to break free from him, but his mighty arms locked her in place.
“Let me go,” Charlotte snarled as she struggled.
“I dare you to move again,” Zachary growled after lifting a brow.
Charlotte was furious, but she had no choice other than to tamp down her anger. The only action she could do to convey her wrath was to glare at him.
“Sign it.”
Zachary shoved the debt repayment agreement to her.
