“Don’t cross the line, Charlotte!” bellowed Zachary as he frowned. “Respect your elders!”
“Respect should be mutual.” Charlotte shot him a cold glare before standing up and leaving.
“Stand right there!” yelled Henry furiously. “Since Ellie’s ill, I’ll allow you to stay for a few more days. However, please leave immediately after she recovers!”
“Allow me to stay? I can’t care less!” scoffed Charlotte mockingly. “However, I’ll definitely bring my kids along with me.”
“They won’t leave with you!” Henry warned intimidatingly, “If you dare to touch them, I won’t let you off easily!”
“Really?” Charlotte raised her eyebrows and smirked. “I’ll have to try it out, then.”
“You…”
“That’s enough!” interrupted Zachary exasperatedly. “I thought we agreed to talk this out? What can we achieve by exchanging harsh words here?”
“I can be reasonable if you want.” Henry changed his attitude. “Since the children are already legally registered under the Nacht family, you’ll be breaking the law if you bring them away forcefully!”
“We can bring this to court!” replied Charlotte calmly. “I’m already all prepared. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely win.”
“Must you do this?”
This time, it was Zachary who asked.
“Either you let the children leave with me, or I’ll file a lawsuit. Alternatively, we can resort to brute force! It depends on what you choose to do.”
With that, Charlotte left directly.
Zachary felt extremely exasperated. At this point, he was helpless as there was nothing he could do to her.
Violence, scoldings, threats and coaxes were all futile.
“How dare she?” Henry was so furious that his face turned pale and his hands trembled.
“Your health is still poor. Why did you leave the hospital and come back all of a sudden?” asked Zachary in confusion.
