“I have something to tell Mr. Nacht. Let me go over!” A voice suddenly sounded, disrupting their romantic moment.
Charlotte looked up from Zachary’s arms and saw a familiar face.
Isn’t she Thomas’ wife, Mary?
Her heart did a double somersault as she anxiety rose within her instantly. Thomas and Mary were rather ignorant and easily influenced. As such, she could easily guess that Amanda must have instigated the woman to come over and expose her…
“You need to make an appointment with Mr. Nacht’s secretary to speak to him.” The bodyguard stopped Mary expressionlessly and stated, “Please leave now.”
“I’m not here to discuss business matters with Mr. Nacht. I’m here to tell him a secret… “ Mary panicked and started yelling over the heads of the guests, “Mr. Nacht, Mr. Nacht! You have been deceived. This woman, Charlotte Windt, is not as innocent as she seems. She has a tainted reputation and… “
“Take her away,” Zachary commanded coldly.
“Understood.” The bodyguard covered Mary’s mouth immediately and dragged her away.
The woman whimpered as she struggled to speak but was knocked unconscious by the bodyguard before being dragged away like a dead dog.
It was pin-drop silence in the auction hall after that.
The rest of the guests were all terrified – no one dared to make a sound.
After Thomas heard the commotion, he hurried back to join the crowd and was shocked when he saw what had happened.
Just when he was about to inquire about the situation, Simon held him back forcefully and said, “You shouldn’t associate yourself with the situation right now. Otherwise, the company might be implicated.”
“But, my wife… “
“Nothing will happen to her,” Simon reassured. “When you pick her up later, say that you didn’t know anything about what she was planning and scold your wife. They will at most give you a verbal warning and won’t make things any harder for you.”
“Alright then… “ Thomas answered while pulling a long face. “But what on Earth happened? How did my wife offend Mr. Nacht?”
