Chapter 1237

“Mr. Nacht…” Ben caught up with Zachary and murmured, “The two ladies just now might be-”

“Ben!” Zachary cut him off and sneered, “you seem to be very talkative tonight.”

Despite falling silent after being admonished, Ben still felt anxious nonetheless.

“Give Bruce a call,” Zachary suddenly ordered. “There might be a storm tonight. Tell him to close the windows and keep an eye on the children.”

“Uhh…” Briefly stunned, Ben grunted in acknowledgment. “Right away.”

At that moment, he realized that Zachary knew everything.

Meanwhile, back in the changing room…

Lowering her voice, Lupine asked anxiously. “What are we going to do? Do we really have to get into swimsuits to be chosen?”

“What’s the hurry?” When Charlotte swept her gaze at the other girls, she saw them preparing themselves meticulously and were filled with anticipation.

“Why aren’t you getting changed?” one of them asked curiously.

Charlotte and Lupine didn’t respond.

Another girl mocked, “If you’re not willing to do it, you shouldn’t have even come. Now that you’re here, what’s the point in pretending to be conservative?”

“Precisely.” The other girls laughed mockingly. “Did someone put a knife to your throat to do this?”

“You…” Just when Lupine was about to lose her temper, Charlotte gave her a tug and signaled her to ignore the comments.

Despite the rage she felt, Lupine remained silent in the end.

“Is it because you didn’t prepare a swimsuit? Here, why don’t you wear these?”

At that moment, a friendly voice rang out.

Raising her gaze, Charlotte saw that the girl had changed out of her heavy gown into a sexy bikini. It showed off the perfect contours of her figure in all its glory.

She had an innocent yet alluring-looking face. Her demure expression made her stand out from among the large group of ladies.

“Were you the one who spoke Chanaean just now?”

Charlotte recognized the girl that had caught Zachary’s attention earlier.

“You have a good eye.” The girl grinned. “These two swimsuits are less revealing. If you don’t mind, you can put them on.”

“Thank you.” Receiving the swimsuits, Charlotte looked at the label on the woman’s chest. Nancy Gold, what a nice-

sounding name. ”Are you from Koandria?”

“Yes,” Nancy responded with a warm smile. “Are you from there too?”

“No, I’m Chanaean,” Charlotte replied with a smile. “Thank you for the swimsuit. The others have left, so you should catch up to them too.”

After turning to look, Nancy hurried after them. “In that case, I’ll head off first. You guys should come after you’ve changed.”

“Got it,” Charlotte acknowledged before watching her leave.

When everyone else had left the changing room, Lupine asked softly, “Nancy looks very familiar. I feel like I’ve heard her name before.”

“She’s the daughter of the richest man in Koandria,” Charlotte quipped. “When we were at the tender of the South Sea project in H City, her father bid twenty billion to compete with me. Also, she went to see Zachary backstage.”

“Oh, that’s right. I remember now.” Lupine recalled at once. “Back then, she had waited for Mr. Nacht backstage.

After that, he invited her to his private room for a while…”

“During that time, I had just returned to H City and did not recognize Zachary yet,” Charlotte recollected. “He had wanted to use her to probe whether I was really Charlotte.”

“Right. That was her.” Lupine nodded repeatedly. “However, considering how illustrious her family is, I don’t understand why she has to lower herself to attend such an event.”

“As I said before, the better the family background, the more ambitious one is.” Charlotte smiled plainly. “All of them feel that no other man other than Zachary is worthy of them.”

“Is she here for Mr. Nacht then?” Lupine carefully probed. “She feels different from the other girls. All of them seemed very competitive. However, when Nancy looks at Mr. Nacht, her eyes are filled with deep admiration and affection.”
