Chapter 1042


    Zachary could not utter any words to refute. Undeniably, the Nacht family had owed Charlotte too


    much.


    He thought that Cynthia''s heinous act had enlightened Henry. With this, all the misunderstandings and


    ruckus bugging them all this while woulde to an end. It never urred to him that there would be


    another round of turbulence for them. Unavoidably, nobody would still be able to stay cool under such


    circumstances.


    “Don''t make me say it again! I must take this woman away today!” Charlotte gritted her teeth and


    pointed at Zara in exasperation.


    “I had sworn to avenge Mrs. Berry by paying Zara Nacht and Sharon ckwood in their coins!


    I won''t think twice to finish whoever dares to stand in my way! You won''t be an exception too!"


    Charlotte hissed.


    Zachary felt a rush of inexplicitplex emotions as he gazed at Charlotte resignedly. A surge of guilt


    welled up from within him, yet he could not turn his back on his grandpa.


    “I''m sorry!” Like a bolt of lightning, he grabbed hold of Charlotte''s wrist, seized her gun, and pinned it


    against her forehead. Everyone was overwhelmed as everything happened within such a short span.


    “Put down your guns!” Zacharymanded the female bodyguards of the Lindberg family.


    Only then did Lupinee to her senses and fumed, “What a despicable b*stard! How can you treat


    Ms. Lindberg this way!”


    At the sight of Zachary, who was threatening Charlotte, Morgan rushed out of the car and pointed her


    gun at him. “Let go of Ms.


    Lindberg!”


    “Mor, try to cool down...” Marino tried to talk Morgan into putting down her gun. Nheless, she


    turned to point the gun at him and pulled the trigger without a second thought.


    “My goodness! You really did that!” Marino was stupefied; his shoulder was scraped by the bullet.


    “Zachary Nacht, you are really a brute! Ms. Lindberg has sacrificed so much by bearing three children


    for you. The Nacht family inflicted harm on her numerous times, yet she never thought of settling a


    score with you. How could you point the gun at her now?” Morgan was infuriated andshed out at


    Zachary.


    To her, love was neverparable to her loyalty to Charlotte. Not to mention, Zachary''s indifferent


    demeanor had shattered her fantasy for love within seconds.


    “All of you from the Nacht family are the same! How can you im that you are from the prestigious


    family of the upper-level society with such a malicious mind! Let go of Ms. Lindberg at once. If not, I will


    notify Mr. Lindberg at once!” Lupine became worked up and snapped at Zachary; her hand holding the


    gun was trembling uncontrobly.


    “Mr. Nacht, do you think it''s a bit much for her?” Ben tried to appease Zachary and talk him out of


    pointing his gun at Charlotte.


    Even Ben felt that the Nacht family had owed Charlotte too much. Thus, it was deemed a matter of fact


    for her to insist on capturing Zara. As Zachary''s mind was preupied with rescuing Henry at the


    moment, he was worried sick that he would exacerbate the situation by acting impulsively.


    “Put your guns down and step aside! Do you get me?” Zachary snarled at the female bodyguards of the


    Lindberg family.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    All of them turned to look at Lupine and Morgan in bewilderment. Nheless, the precarious situation


    sent both of them into a tizzy, turning their minds into mush.


    “Don''t release her!” Charlotte yelled out all of a sudden. “Even if he shoots me dead, you must bear in


    mind to bring that woman back!”


    Zachary felt a prickle of anxiousness and whispered to her apprehensively, “Why are you so hard-


    headed? Just let me save my grandpa first. Once I have saved him, I will surely...” “Do you dare to


    shoot me?” Charlotte red at him and cut him off. “Why don''t you try to shoot me with your gun?”


    “I-L.” Zachary stammered. He did not even ce his finger on the trigger of his gun.


    “Since he doesn''t dare, I will be the one to do that!” Unexpectedly, Zara fired a shot at Charlotte''s


    shoulder.


    Bang! Blood spurted from her wound at once.


    Charlotte stiffened; the instant stabbing pain was numbing her senses. As her blood sttered onto her


    face, it was as though her heart was eroded by the prative burning sensation of sulfuric acid.


    Everyone was rooted to the spot, including Zachary.


    “What are you doing?” Zachary bellowed at Zara after he came to his senses.


    “All of you from the Lindberg family, put your guns down! If not, I will finish her off now!” Zara


    threatened.


    Intimidated by her threatening tone, all the bodyguards from the Lindberg family could only bow to her


    by putting their guns down as instructed.
