Chapter 884

“Sit there and stay away from me.”

Charlotte was pressing her gun against Zachary’s chest as she glared daggers at him.

Frowning, he moved to the single sofa on the other side.

Only then did she keep her gun and drape the blanket over Little Fifi again.

“I heard that you had an overwhelming victory today. That’s impressive!” Zachary tried to curry favor with her.

However, Charlotte ignored him. Sitting on the sofa, she patted Little Fifi gently and coaxed it to sleep.

Zachary reminded softly, “Although Shirley is Zara’s assistant, she’s quite mediocre in fighting. It’s only through sheer luck that you defeated her. If it were someone else, you’d be in danger. So, if you encounter such situations in the future, you have to be more careful.”

“It’s none of your business!” interrupted Charlotte curtly.

“How is it not? You’re my children’s mother.” Zachary inched closer to her shamelessly. “If you get into an accident, what’ll happen to the kids?”

“Speaking of which, I need to talk to you.” Charlotte glanced at the children on the hospital bed and whispered, “From today onward, they will come and stay with me. You’re not allowed to disturb them in the future.”

“No way!” He refused immediately. “The children have already adopted my last name and are registered under my household. Legally, they should stay with me. Furthermore, they are already used to living with the Nacht family…”

“Since they can change their last name from Windt to Nacht, they can also change it to Lindberg!” rebuked Charlotte. “If they can adapt to the Nacht family, they can also adapt to the Lindberg family!”

Zachary frowned. “Charlotte, don’t be reckless just for the sake of it! I am in full control of the Nacht family, but you can’t dictate what the Lindberg family does.”

“You are in full control?” Charlotte laughed mockingly. “So, are you the only one behind what happened two years ago? In that case, I don’t need anyone else to take revenge for me. I will go after you instead!”

“What happened two years ago was very complicated. When there’s a chance, I’ll explain it to you slowly,” said Zachary patiently. “However, this concerns the kids. You must approach it rationally!”

“I’m very rational.” Charlotte stared at him coldly. “That’s why I mustn’t let my children get affected by their stepmother.”

“What stepmother?” Zachary was rendered speechless. “The news is all fake! How can you believe them?”

“I’ve witnessed it personally and caught both of you in the act.” Fury rose within Charlotte when she mentioned it.

“Do you think that I’m blind?”

“Haven’t you wondered why you had appeared there at that exact moment?” He frowned unhappily. “With your intelligence, you should understand what’s going on!”

“Even if it was the result of someone’s deliberate manipulation, you still have to fall into the trap willingly!” mocked Charlotte. “Did someone force you to go to the hotel, drag you into the room, take off your clothes and jump into your arms?”

Zachary was rendered speechless. It was hard for him to explain what happened and even if he tried to, he might make things worse.

“Are you at a loss for words?” She felt angrier at his silence. “Not only that, but you also tricked me by disguising yourself as another person! Is it addictive to put up an act? Are you experienced at pretending to be a gigolo?”

“Okay, just keep insulting me.” Zachary gave up on explaining. “As long as it makes you happy, just scold me however you’d like. If that’s not enough, you can beat me up too.”

“I’ll be letting you off the hook too easily by beating you up.” Charlotte scoffed coldly. “Don’t worry. I will not spare anyone who has ever bullied or harmed me!”

“I’ll give you a proper explanation of what happened that year.” Zachary suddenly became serious. “I’m collecting evidence now. When the appropriate time arises, I’ll pass them to the police and personally oversee the investigation.”

“You don’t have to trouble yourself,” retorted Charlotte disdainfully. “I have my way!”
