Zachary felt someone tug on his arm from behind.
“F*ck off!” he roared.
Cynthia shuddered, and she turned pale.
The two female medical staff beside her also shook in fear, holding in their breaths.
Zachary’s fury also scared away the guests at the scene.
After a long, dreadful silence, Zachary finally took a deep breath before turning to look at Cynthia.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Cynthia quivered as she gestured to Zachary. “Zachary, did I do something wrong? Did I do something to anger you?”
For some reason, Zachary could not bear to lash out at her any longer.
Frowning, he ordered, “Send her back.”
“Understood.” The medical staff promptly helped Cynthia back into the car.
The bodyguard closed the doors and drove off.
All the while, Ben was observing Zachary’s facial expressions very closely. Eyeing him tentatively, he said, “I don’t think Ms. Lindberg has recalled anything just yet. This is no time to be panicking like this. How about we go in and check on her?”
Zachary strode off without even looking at him.
On the surface, the banquet hall still seemed rather lively, with the incredible piano pieces filling up the entire room. However, the guests dared not dance or enjoy themselves at all due to the unmistakable tension lingering in the air.
Zachary hurried over to the lounge. The door was left ajar. Louis was doing all he could to take care of Charlotte. “How are you feeling? Do you need me to call an ambulance?”
“I’m fine…” Charlotte had regained her composure. After drinking a cup of warm water, she finally looked up. Catching a glimpse of Zachary at the door, her gaze turned cold. “Mr. Nacht, don’t you need to keep your wife company? Why are you here?”
Zachary wanted to ask her how she was feeling, but somehow, he simply could not say those words. “Ms. Lindberg, you’re in poor health. You should go back and rest soon.”
“Your wife is the one in poor health.” Charlotte raised her eyebrows. “I don’t care if I’m at the workplace or on the battlefield. I, Charlotte Lindberg, am never backing down!”
“That better be the case!”
