Chapter 1215
Zachary was slumped on a couch in the study room, his eyes downcast.
It was impossible to tell what was responsible for his cold, murderous gaze.
Bruce scrunched his brows in concern as he whispered, “He looks like he''s about to kill someone.
Ben seemed more optimistic about the situation as he replied, “He won''t. He''s a lot calmer after that
harrowing incident.”
The words had barely left his mouth when someone opened the door from the outside. A familiar voice
drifted in. “Zachary!”
It was Louis.
He hade to exin things for fear that Zachary would make things difficult for Charlotte.
Louis was fraught with nerves as he entered the room carefully. Even his voice shook as he called out
his greeting earlier.
Zachary lifted his head slowly and stared coldly at Louis, looking like a predator scrutinizing its
unfortunate prey.

Louis decided to defuse the tension in the room by mentioning Zachary''s children. “Where''s Jamie?
Robbie and Ellie miss him dearly, and they''ve been hoping to meet him soon.”
Zachary continued ring at Louis wordlessly as the hands he had ced on his thighs gradually
clenched into fists.
Still, Louis pushed on with his agenda and added, “Since you''re already here, you''re wee to stay
for a few more days. This way, the children can spend more time with each other-”
“They''re my children!” Zachary seethed, finally breaking his silence. “You have no right to organize their
lives.”
“That''s not what I meant. What I''m trying to say"
“Enough!” Zachary interrupted his meek defense. “Now tell me everything aboutst night; you''d better
have a darn good exnation for what happened.”
Louis sat obediently on a couch facing Zachary andunched into an exnation. “We were watching a
magician troupe''s performancest night, and Charlotte and I got drunk.”
He suddenly paused in the middle of his words and said, “Wait, why should I be exining anything to
you? Charlotte and I are getting married soo-”
“She''s my woman!” Zachary roared furiously
Stunned by his outburst, Louis stared at him silently.
“You''re mistaken.”
Sherlyn had shown up just then as Louis'' cavalry.
“You may have been with Charlotte in the past, but all of that is history. We made a public
announcement regarding Louis and Charlotte''s marriage two months ago; Charlotte even made the
statement herself. They''re getting married in a week.”
Instead of looking at Sherlyn, Zachary frowned and continued to interrogate Louis, “Is there anything
else you''d like to say?”
“There''s nothing left to say.” Louis nced at him timidly and lowered his head. “We got drunk, and
then things just happened.”
Sherlyn chimed in, “They''re adults, for heaven''s sake. Nothing''s wrong if they slept together.
Besides, you''re her ex-husband; you don''t have a say in their rtionship. Why should Louis be
exining things-”
Crash!
Zachary mmed his fists on the ss coffee table before him, shattering it.
His action had Sherlyn shuddering in fear, utterly tongue-tied.
Meanwhile, Louis trembled and instinctively scooted backward.
The atmosphere in the study room instantly chilled by several degrees.
“D-Don''t do anything stupid now,” Sherlyn said fearfully. “We''re in F Nation.”
“Lady Sherlyn, please leave.” Zachary''s request was nothing more than a thinly-veiledmand.
He seemed even more menacing as he wiped off the blood and ss shards on his hand with a wet
towel.
“Why should I leave?”
“Lady Sherlyn, please leave.”
Just then, Charlotte''s voice rang out, sounding a lot calmer than Zachary.
She added for good measure, “I promise that nothing will happen to Louis.”
With that, Charlotte entered the study room slowly, her gazending on Zachary. Her heart swirled with
an array of conflicting emotions.
