q“Cain, where's Mr. Nacht?” Charlotte asked anxiously.
At that moment, a familiar figure stepped out. “I'm here.”
“You...” Upon seeing how unkempt he looked, she knitted her eyebrows. Not only did he not have his jacket on, but the collar of his white shirt was open with two buttons missing.
“Why are you here?” Zachary walked toward her.
“Explain to me. What is going on?”
Just as she was about to flare up, Michael showed up and pleaded, “Charlotte, please help me persuade Mr. Nacht.”
“Michael, why are you here?”
His appearance caught her off guard. However, she soon understood that there was more than met the eye. At once, she gave Lupine a look.
Only then did Lupine step aside, no longer blocking Nancy's way.
“Now that everyone is here, it's time to clear the air,” Nancy remarked. Displeased with Charlotte's earlier actions, she turned to face her and snapped, “Ms. Lindberg, next time, please get a clearer picture of the situation before jumping to conclusions.”
With that, she left in large strides.
Barely grasping what was going on, Charlotte was pulled by Zachary into the private room. Just when she was about to question him, she was shocked by the scene that greeted her.
Ben was restraining someone who was dressed in a strange outfit. The person kept struggling and hurling vulgarities at both her and Zachary.
When Charlotte got a closer look, she exclaimed in shock, “Helena?”
“She was the one who threw the vase...”
Only after Zachary explained the situation briefly did she catch on. “I was wondering why the banquet was held at this hotel. As it turned out, you were trying to lure the culprit out.”
