Chapter 298


    "She provoked me first," Zachary said coldly.


    Old Mr. Nacht reprimanded, "We all know who started all this. If you didn''t raise your hand to Chris,


    your aunt wouldn''t have done anything to yourpany."


    With a stony expression, Zachary retorted, "But Chris was the one who offended me first."


    Old Mr. Nacht was so angry that he raised his voice. "All that just for a woman? Chris is your cousin!


    Yet, you almost strangled him to death because of that woman!"


    "So? He didn''t die in the end anyway." Zachary''s words dripped with disdain.


    "How preposterous!" Old Mr. Nacht knocked his cane against the floor, and it made a loud thud.


    Charlotte was so terrified that she started shuddering, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.


    After listening to their conversation, she finally understood what had happened. It turned out that Chris


    was Zachary''s cousin. She was drugged and almost raped by him that day. Arriving in time, Zachary


    saved her and beat Chris to a pulp.


    And it was because of this that Zachary offended his aunt.


    So Zachary''s aunt was the one who ordered some men to cause a scene at Divine Corporation''s


    productunch?


    Right then, realization dawned on Charlotte. I''m the root cause of the conflict between the members of


    the Nacht family. No wonder Mr. Nacht hates me. Maybe he even sees me as a threat.


    Zachary murmured under his breath, "Who would have known that he was so weak?"


    ring at Zachary coldly, old Mr. Nacht dered, "That''s enough! I''ve discussed with your aunt, and


    she promised to leave yourpany alone, so you''re not allowed to irk her again."


    Zachary replied indifferently, "As long as she doesn''t bare her fangs at me, I won''t do the same."


    "That woman... She''s here, right?" asked old Mr. Nacht.


    Charlotte almost copsed onto the ground after hearing that. How did Mr. Nacht know that I''m here ?


    "Yeah," Zachary admitted.


    Old Mr. Nacht scoffed, "She''s living with you already? What? Are you thinking of marrying her?"


    This time, Zachary fell silent and didn''t answer immediately.


    Covering her chest and holding her breath, Charlotte''s heart clenched as she waited for his answer


    nervously.


    After a long while, Zachary finally responded, "I don''t n to marry her."


    Disappointed, Charlotte felt as if someone had sshed cold water over her heart, making it lose all


    warmth and hope.


    However, very quickly, she regained her rationality. He has never been serious about me anyway and


    only sees me as his toy. There''s no way he''ll treat me with sincerity


    Old Mr. Nacht''s tone softened slightly. "That''s right. Women like her aren''t worth your time, so never


    take them seriously."


    Charlotte waspletely speechless at his remarks. So, in Mr. Nacht''s opinion, women of inferior


    status are to be toyed with? How despicableiWith a grandfather like him, it''s no wonder Zachary


    behaves like a psycho.


    "Sharon is your best choice." After pausing for a moment, old Mr. Nacht continued, "The ckwood


    family had always been on good terms with us, the Nachts. You should marry the only daughter of the


    ckwoods to unite the two families. It will bring benefits to both sides."


    Charlotte scoffed. Marry her then. You guys will make a good match since you guys are both arrogant.


    Zachary said in a t tone, "Only the ckwood family will benefit from this."


    "You..." Old Mr. Nacht''s face turned ashen with anger.


    Zachary argued pompously, "There''s a big difference between the ckwood family''s status and ours,


    so our marriage will only benefit them. What is there for me to gain from this? If you want to strengthen


    our family, I''ll have to marry the heiress of the Lindberg family. At least, they are on par with us."


    Old Mr. Nacht chided, "Nonsense! We''ve been at loggerheads with the Lindbergs for generations. How


    is it possible for us to form a union with them?"

    Zachary returned to the topic. "Yeah. So stop thinking of arranging a marriage between Sharon and


    me. The effort of generations of the Nacht family will be in vain if I sacrifice myself."


    Old Mr. Nacht was so furious that his face turned livid. "You brat..." Before he could finish his words, he


    started coughing and clutched his chest.
