“I-I…”
“Mr. Nacht, please calm down. We have a lot of guests with us, including the representative from the Brown family. I believe it’s best to not cause a scene,” Ben said in a hushed tone.
“He’s right! We shouldn’t get worked up and contaminate our hands because of such a filthy woman! She doesn’t deserve our time!” Sharon played along with Ben to persuade Zachary.
Sharon’s words worked like a charm—Zachary suppressed his wrath and returned to his usual indifferent self.
He cast Charlotte to the couch queried in a dead-pan tone, “Are you such a fragile man, Mr. Brown? You have the audacity to hit on my woman, but you can’t even take a punch from me?”Michael brought himself up and wiped the blood off his face. He gritted his teeth and rushed over to Zachary’s side in an attempt to assault him.
Zachary’s eyes gleamed in excitement.
He lifted his leg to deliver another powerful kick, but when he was about to reach Michael, Charlotte sprinted over and got in front of Michael to shield him from the brutal kick.
Consequently, the powerful kick was launched on Charlotte’s abdomen area.
As he tried to stop Charlotte from falling, Michael fell to the ground with Charlotte in his embrace.
Slouching against Michael, Charlotte felt as though her body would break in half soon.
Zachary was shocked as Charlotte started shivering in pain. He glared at her in disbelief because he didn’t expect she would put her life at stake for another man.
Does that mean she prioritizes Michael’s safety over her own wellbeing?
His hands balled into fists with his nails penetrating his palms.
Michael cradled Charlotte in his arms with his body trembling in fear. “Charlotte! H-Have you lost your mind?”
Beads of sweat streamed down Charlotte’s forehead as colors drained from her face. She forced a smile and asserted, “I-I’m fine. Please leave us alone.”
“C-Charlotte…”
“Go!” The fragile woman pushed him away from her.
Ben rushed over to help Michael up and stated in a hushed voice, “Mr. Brown, allow me to show you the way out. Ms. Windt will be fine as long as you stay away from her.”
He managed to persuade the dejected man.
