Chapter 1675
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âCalm down my assâ¦â
Francesca was about to continue cussing when she spotted Chris attempting to slip out from the back. Very quickly, she moved to give chase. âCome back here, you cur!â
With Francescaâs exit, the conference room was finally at peace.
The police swiftly went about apprehending the Gold familyâs subordinates, and also seized Jesse himself.
âWhy are you arresting me for?â Jesse protested aloud in displeasure. âWhat crime am I guilty of?â
âYouâre under suspicion of involvement in the kidnapping of Robinson and Jamison Nacht and using illegal means to acquire the Nacht Groupâs assets. Is that criminal enough for you?â an officer bellowed.
âLike you said. Under suspicion. Whereâs your proof? If without proof, you can at most seek my cooperation with the investigation. What right have you to arrest me?â Jesse massaged his own neck and smirked, âDonât think that Iâm not familiar with the law because I know your Chanaean laws like the back of my own hand!â
âThose illegal firearms in your menâs possession. Does that not constitute lawbreaking?â the frustrated officer asked.
âWell, let them be answerable for their own actions then. Whatâs that got to do with me?â Jesse continued to argue.
âYouâ¦â
âDo you have proof or not? If without evidence, Iâd advise you to you speak to me politely.â Jesse was extremely cocky.
âMy lawyers are all present here, and they can jolly well sue you if you so much as lay a finger on me.â
âEvidence, you say?â
Zachary flipped open the laptop and immediately went about connecting it to the projection system. Then, he played some videos that showed Jesse in the act of making arrangements for his subordinates to kidnap the two children.
Jesse was in shock and utter disbelief.
What is this? Where did this come from?
In the next second, he arched his head toward Nancy. It was clear to him that all of these were captured in the study room, and no one, apart from someone from within the family, could possibly have had the chance to come into this as evidence.
âIâm sorry, Dad.â Nancy made no attempt to deny this. Instead, she was adamantly proud.
âAn honest person was what you raised me to be!â
âYouâ¦â Hopping mad, Jesse lunged over like a rabid dog in a bid to strangle her.
âYou traitorous slut! Iâd kill you! Iâd kill youââ
When Nancy regarded her own father and thought about all the hurt he had caused her, she felt no pity for him.
Instead, all she had for him was contempt. She lifted her head and said with a cold sneer, âOfficer, Iâve also evidence of Mr. Gold and Chris Broidâs conspiracy to seize the Nacht familyâs assets. Itâs both clear and comprehensive!â
âVery well. Please follow us down to the station to assist with the investigations.â
The officer assigned someone to escort Nancy.
âAll right,â Nancy replied and left with the police, with scant regard for the ranting and raving Jesse. Her eyes reddened when she passed Zachary as though she meant to say something, but in the end, she held her silence.
âThank you!â said Zachary.
Nancyâs tears flowed, but she merely lowered her head and quietly made her exit.
âDonât think that youâve won just yet, Zachary Nacht.â Unwilling to accept his own defeat, he continued to rage away. âYour son is still in my hands, and your wife⦠Theyâreâ¦â
âHis son has been rescued.â Just then, an aloof voice suddenly rang out. âAnd his wife is right here!â
Zachary shuddered. When he turned, his heart was almost ripped asunder upon the sight of the person pushing through the doorsâ¦
Despite having her face bloodied, her white top stained red, her hair plastered into place by fresh crimson, and the shocking knife wounds sitting prominently upon her shoulder, Charlotte remained as spirited as everâ¦
Those pristine eyes of hers fixated upon Jesse with a furious loathing.
âEvil can never trump over good. Youâve lost, Jesse Gold!â
Jesse fell slumped upon the floor. Yes, he had lost, most utterly and completelyâ¦
âTake him away!â
The police had Jesse and his subordinates swiftly bundled off and went about tying up any loose ends.
Charlotteâs gaze drifted through the crowd and she began to sob uncontrollably when they came upon Zacharyâ¦q
