Charlotte was overwhelmed by his warning. “No! Michael is innocent! We haven't—”
“If we hadn't made our way into the room just now, I'm sure you're having the best time of your life by now, aren't you?”
Zachary gritted his teeth and caressed Charlotte's swollen cheek.
Actually, he had misunderstood her words because he thought she was talking about the incident that had occurred in the room.
Charlotte shook her head and rebutted, “No! Actually, Michael isn't the—”
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Someone knocked on the door anxiously before Charlotte could tell Zachary the truth.
Ben announced, “Mr. Nacht, old Mr. Nacht is here!”
Irked by Ben's presence, Zachary replied with a frown, “Alright.” He squeezed Charlotte's cheek and repeated himself, “I'm warning you for one last time, Charlotte! You better stop pushing your luck and challenging my limits!”
She stared at him open-mouthed, but she dared not defy his words because she was intimidated by his warning.
Zachary narrowed his eyes and added in an uncanny way, “Perhaps I won't come after you, but I won't hesitate at all when it comes to your beloved children and your friends! They're the ones who have to bear the consequences of your foolish action!”
Charlotte shook her head vigorously and begged, “No! Please! Don't hurt them!”
“If you want me to spare them, you should stay away from Michael!” Zachary lifted her back to the couch and removed his blazer, putting it on Charlotte. When he passed by Ben's side at the entrance, he instructed, “Get Raina over!”
“Yes!” Ben took a peek at Charlotte, who was on the couch, before closing the door.
Charlotte leaned against the couch, but she couldn't stop herself from shivering because of the fear she felt deep down.
She couldn't imagine the things that would occur when Zachary lost his mind and put their children at stake.
Eventually, the thought of telling Zachary the truth crossed Charlotte's mind because their children might be safe if he was aware of their actual identity. Perhaps Zachary would stay away from Michael as well.
With that being said, Charlotte was afraid her children would be influenced by their aggressive and violent father should they grow up with him.
Knock! Knock!
