Chapter 1709 Not Stupid
But this is just a guess. Charlotte was in a dire situation back then, and Nancy held the children hostage. It’s possible that she was forced to do something she didn’t want to. However…
“Mr. Nacht.” Bruce observed Zachary carefully, but he was also terrified at the same time. “Please do not blame Ms. Lindberg for this. She didn’t want it either.”
“What do you mean ‘she didn’t want it’?” Zachary barked.
Bruce looked down quickly and remained motionless.
Charlotte came in right at that moment. She saw Bruce kneeling before Zachary, and she heard what Zachary said. She knew what was going right away, and the smile on her face was replaced by a solemn look.
“Leave us,” Zachary told Bruce.
“Yes.” Bruce got up from the ground. When he saw Charlotte, he blamed himself all over again for telling Zachary about it. He wanted to apologize to her, but he couldn’t bring himself to do that.
“Get your men tested,” Zachary said.
“Yes.” Bruce left quietly, leaving Zachary and Charlotte alone in the office.
They looked at each other, and Charlotte had mixed feelings about the matter. She understood why Zachary was angry, but she was also sad that he didn’t trust her.
“Don’t look at me like that.” Zachary put his pen down and looked at her. “Come here.”
“I’d rather not,” Charlotte snapped. “I don’t want you to get infected.”
“By what?” Zachary looked at her in amusement. “Insanity?”
“You’re the one who’s crazy.” Charlotte shot him a furious glare.
