qEveryone had finally calmed down. Presently, the person who possessed the highest authority here was Johann.
He had prestige and was impartial in his dealings, so everyone was willing to listen to him.
“Let's not believe in the rumors and talk it out. We'll verify the truth in the end.”
He pressed a hand to his chest as though he could relievethe slight discomfort in his heart while talking. His gaze was focused on Charlotte, waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.
Before Charlotte could respond, “Zachary” spoke first. “Since the hospital staff is almost here to conduct my blood test, they could also conduct a paternity test.”
A chorus of agreement sounded from the group. “That's right. I'll believe it when I see it. We'll apologize if the test result was normal. However, if there's some abnormality, then...”
“Then, you return all the assets and shares to Mr. Zachary, and remove yourself from the Nacht family,” Kallum demanded.
“He's right, leave the Nacht family!”
“Leave the Nacht family!”
Under Kallum's lead, everyone started repeating after him.
Charlotte merely looked at “Zachary” with a blank face. “Zachary” didn't oppose Kallum's suggestion and even met her gaze defiantly.
Charlotte couldn't suppress her anger any longer and slapped him. A loud slap echoed against the walls of the room. The noisy room a minute ago fell silent.
“Zachary” was frozen in place from the shock. He never had expected that Charlotte would lay a hand on him.
I'm Zachary Nacht!
I'm Zachary Nacht!
“You!”
Everyone was taken aback by Charlotte's actions.
“This crazy woman!”
Kallum and a few young directors rushed over to Charlotte, wanting to pay her back for her actions.
But Morgan and a couple of bodyguards immediately stepped up to stop them.
Instantly, the conference room was a huge mess again.
Charlotte was like an angry lioness trying to protect her cubs. The anger in her eyes was ablaze. She clenched her hands into balls of fists to suppress her strong urge to choke “Zachary” at that moment.
She could calmly deal with any other despicable and shameless means they throw at her, but she couldn't allow them to insult her babies.
“Enough! Stop fighting!” Johann shouted, trying to calm everyone again. But it didn't seem to improve the situation.
