Chapter 1456
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1457 Does Not Deserve To Be Forgiven âCain, whereâs Mr. Nacht?â Charlotte asked anxiously.
At that moment, a familiar figure stepped out. âIâm here.â
âYouâ¦â Upon seeing how unkempt he looked, she knitted her eyebrows. Not only did he not have his jacket on, but the collar of his white shirt was open with two buttons missing.
âWhy are you here?â Zachary walked toward her.
âExplain to me. What is going on?â
Just as she was about to flare up, Michael showed up and pleaded, âCharlotte, please help me persuade Mr. Nacht.â
âMichael, why are you here?â
His appearance caught her off guard. However, she soon understood that there was more than met the eye. At once, she gave Lupine a look.
Only then did Lupine step aside, no longer blocking Nancyâs way.
âNow that everyone is here, itâs time to clear the air,â Nancy remarked. Displeased with Charlotteâs earlier actions, she turned to face her and snapped, âMs. Lindberg, next time, please get a clearer picture of the situation before jumping to conclusions.â
With that, she left in large strides.
Barely grasping what was going on, Charlotte was pulled by Zachary into the private room. Just when she was about to question him, she was shocked by the scene that greeted her.
Ben was restraining someone who was dressed in a strange outfit. The person kept struggling and hurling vulgarities at both her and Zachary.
When Charlotte got a closer look, she exclaimed in shock, âHelena?â
âShe was the one who threw the vaseâ¦â
Only after Zachary explained the situation briefly did she catch on. âI was wondering why the banquet was held at this hotel. As it turned out, you were trying to lure the culprit out.â
âIt seems that weâve accused Ms. Gold wrongly,â Lupine admitted awkwardly.
âI was the one who sought her help to put up this act,â Zachary explained. âMy main objective is to remove all the threats and obstacles that would hinder you in the future.â
He had said those words in a nonchalant manner, but it made Charlotteâs heart ache.
He wants to solve all the problems for me with whatever time he has left so that my life would be smooth sailing from here on.
âCharlotte, Iâm going to kill you. Iâm going to kill you!â
Helena was still raging at them. Nonetheless, after being pinned on the ground by Benâs foot for such a long time, she no longer had any residual strength to struggle. All she could do was hurl insults incessantly.
âHelena, you are beyond salvation.â
Looking at Helena, Charlotte was reminded of her past misdeeds and found herself being engulfed by sorrow and hatred.
âBack then, you plotted against Luna for your own selfish gains. Despite being punished by the law, youâre still blaming me for everything. To make matters worse, you even planned on harming me too. Even death would be too good of an ending for you!â
âMs. Lindberg, we have collected all the evidence of her wrongdoings and are prepared to hand them over to the police,â Ben reported indignantly. âThis time, no strings can be pulled. She can never be bailed out and will rot in prison for the rest of her life.â
âNo, please,â Michael begged. âCharlotte, I know what Helena did was wrong, and I apologize to all of you on her behalf. Just now, I told Mr. Nacht that as long as you agree, Iâll bring her back to M Nation and never let her set foot in H City again. No matter what, she did not cause any significant harm this time around. Hence, I hope you can forgive her for my sake.â
âWhat do you mean by no significant harm?â Charlotte thundered. âDo you know she caused my husbandââ
However, she held her tongue at mid-sentence because Zacharyâs condition could not be revealed to outsiders.
Michael continued to plead, âCharlotte, please let her go this one time on account of our friendship. I know that you are all angry because Mr. Nacht was hurt, but his injury has almost recovered. I can punish her in other ways or compensate youââ
âEnough, Michael,â Charlotte interrupted him. âIf you still think of me as a friend, stop begging for mercy on her behalf. She has lost her reason. A vile and heartless person like her does not deserve to be forgiven.â
