Chapter 1712 I Am Here
Nancy followed suit. She sent all her lackeys away, save for her two most trusted lieutenants.
âWhat do you need, Ms. Gold?" Zachary cut to the chase right away.
âI heard about Chris.â Nancy looked agitated. âIs he really down with AIDS?"
"And how'd you find out about that?â Zachary frowned. I didn't even tell anyone about that. How
did Nancy know? Who told her?
"So it's true.â Nancy's hands were trembling with rage. âThat animal!â
âIt's unconfirmed yet,â Zachary answered calmly. âAll we know is that one of the women he had sex
with is diagnosed with AIDS. We have no idea if he's infected.â
âBut the chances are high.â Nancy was about to have a breakdown. âWhat should I do then?â
âDon't scare yourself. It's unconfirmed yet,â Zachary assured her calmly. âYou should have gotten
your blood checked before you came, right?â
âI did, but nothing would show even if I were infected.â Nancy was like a cat on hot bricks. Then she
hissed, âChris is an animal! He has ruined my life! I'm going to haunt him forever! And Charlotte as
well!â
Nancy's eyes glinted with cold malice. âShe did this to me!â
"And what does this have to do with her?â Zachary frowned.
âWhen Chris... deceived me that night, she was standing right there, but she didnât stop him. All she
did was watch as he defiled me. She is a vile and wicked woman. Now, do you think she has nothing
to do with this?â
Nancy was trembling with anger as she spoke. âI was about to let this slide for your sake, but now I
found out that she got a woman to sleep with Chris, and that woman's diagnosed with AIDS! She's
doing this to me on purpose!â
âYou think too highly of yourself,â Zachary answered solemnly. âCharlotte was in a dire situation
back then. She had to face your father, Chris, and her enemies in the company. She had no time for
you.â
âMr. Nacht-"
âLet me finish,â Zachary interrupted seriously. âYou were not a threat to her. You have never been a
threat to her, nor will you ever be. In fact, you helped her before, so she has no reason to drag you
into this. She only hired that woman to sleep with Chris to protect herself, and she didn't know that
the woman has AIDS. In fact, Peter only found out about that this morning.â
Zachary paused for a moment, then he squinted at Nancy coldly. âBack to my question. How'd you
know about this? Have you been following Peter? Did you abduct and torture him until he told you
about it?"
Nancy averted her gaze and chose to keep quiet about it.
âLet him go right now,â Zachary told her imperiously. âOr I will teach you a lesson.â
"Peter's a tough cookie to crack. He wouldn't tell me anything about Charlotte. I only found out
about the matter because his men told me about it. I know heâs your friend, so I didn't do anything
to him.â
Nancy explained angrily, âBut Mr. Nacht, I am your friend as well. When you were in trouble, I
helped your wife in secret. I exposed my father because of you, but you don't seem to think of me
as your friend.â
âWhat do you want?â Zachary didnât say much, and he frowned at her.
âCharlotte and Chris did this to me, and you expect me to let it slide?â Nancy hissed.
âFor the last time, your father and Chris did this to you. Charlotte has nothing to do with this.â
Zachary was finally getting impatient, and he warned, âAs long as I am here, nobody can lay a finger
on her.â
