Chapter 1680
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âHave you finished leaving your testimony at the police station?â asked Zachary with a smile.
âYeah.â Nancy nodded and said calmly, âFor that four hours, I said everything I could and provided all the evidence possible. My lawyer told me that after these questions are confirmed, itâll be impossible for my father to get out of jail anymore.â
âDo you regret it?â asked Zachary.
âI donât.â Nancy smirked mockingly. âLooking at how pathetic he is, I felt extremely satisfied⦠Iâm planning to go back to Salinsburgh to pay my respects to my mother. If she learns about this in heaven, sheâll definitely be delighted.â
When Zachary heard that, he fell silent. He could imagine what had happened to Nancy during this period of time.
She must have hated her father so much that she would react in this mannerâ¦
Actually, he expected all these.
âMr. Nacht, will you still fulfill your promise?â asked Nancy softly.
âOf course.â Zachary smiled. âI said that if your father touches the Nacht Group and you help me accuse your father, I will not touch the Gold family. In fact, Iâll help you rise to power!â
âActually, now that my father is gone, Iâll definitely inherit his role. My sister can never defeat me.â Nancy grinned.
âHowever, I just need you to promise that youâll not touch the Gold family.â
âIâm a man of my word,â promised Zachary.
âIn that case, thank you.â Nancy lowered her head and thanked him. Immediately afterward, she mumbled,â Oh, right⦠Umâ¦â
She hesitated, unable to say what was on her mind.
âWhat do you want to say?â Zachary raised his head and looked at her.
âI havenât married Chris yet. We reached a mutual agreement that weâll just put up an act, so we didnât actually register our marriage. Hence, I didnât infringe on your legal rights.â
Nancy hesitated before saying that. On her way there, she kept wondering if she should test Zachary using the marriage and see if there was still a possibility between them.
However, after she met him, she realized that he did not love her at all. Thus, she suppressed her urge to even test him out.
She started to understand that some people were not fated to be hers.
No matter how hard she tried, she would never get them.
Hence, she decided to preserve the last remnants of her pride instead.
âActually, since Chris is an imposter, the marriage will not be effective legally even if you have registered it,â
explained Zachary calmly. âOf course, itâs better if itâs not registered. Itâll save us the hassle of going through so many procedures.â
âSo, youâre going to marry Charlotte, right?â
Nancy still asked the question. She really wanted to know how deeply he loved Charlotte.
âOf course,â replied Zachary unhesitatingly. âIâll give her a perfect wedding and a happy future.â
âCongratulations!â Nancy squeezed out those two words through her sobs. Then, she got up and left with her head bowed.
âThank you,â replied Zachary politely. He watched her leave before continuing to review the documents.
When Nancy reached the door, she turned around and glanced at Zachary, who had resumed work. She said again, âI have another request.â
âGo ahead.â Zachary raised his head and looked at her.
âCan you leave Chris to me?â
When Nancy said that, her eyes were filled with hatred. She would never spare the man who destroyed her entire life.
âHeâs from the Nacht family, so I have to deal with him personally,â said Zachary calmly. âIâm sorry, but I canât agree to that.â
Although Nancy was disappointed, she did not say anything and left.
After Zachary finished dealing with the last contract, he saw that it was getting dark outside. Hence, he stopped working and headed to the hospital.
Bruce and the rest were accompanying him. The car had just left the underground carpark when an eagleâs shriek sounded from outside. He raised his head and looked out of the window, knowing that she had come.q
