Chapter 958

“Don’t cross the line, Charlotte!” bellowed Zachary as he frowned. “Respect your elders!”

“Respect should be mutual.” Charlotte shot him a cold glare before standing up and leaving.

“Stand right there!” yelled Henry furiously. “Since Ellie’s ill, I’ll allow you to stay for a few more days. However, please leave immediately after she recovers!”

“Allow me to stay? I can’t care less!” scoffed Charlotte mockingly. “However, I’ll definitely bring my kids along with me.”

“They won’t leave with you!” Henry warned intimidatingly, “If you dare to touch them, I won’t let you off easily!”

“Really?” Charlotte raised her eyebrows and smirked. “I’ll have to try it out, then.”

“You…”

“That’s enough!” interrupted Zachary exasperatedly. “I thought we agreed to talk this out? What can we achieve by exchanging harsh words here?”

“I can be reasonable if you want.” Henry changed his attitude. “Since the children are already legally registered under the Nacht family, you’ll be breaking the law if you bring them away forcefully!”

“We can bring this to court!” replied Charlotte calmly. “I’m already all prepared. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely win.”

“Must you do this?”

This time, it was Zachary who asked.

“Either you let the children leave with me, or I’ll file a lawsuit. Alternatively, we can resort to brute force! It depends on what you choose to do.”

With that, Charlotte left directly.

Zachary felt extremely exasperated. At this point, he was helpless as there was nothing he could do to her.

Violence, scoldings, threats and coaxes were all futile.

“How dare she?” Henry was so furious that his face turned pale and his hands trembled.

“Your health is still poor. Why did you leave the hospital and come back all of a sudden?” asked Zachary in confusion.

“If I haven’t returned, this family might be part of the Lindbergs already.”

After being provoked by Charlotte, Henry was venting all of his anger onto Zachary.

“No wonder you kept stopping me from going to Northridge and interfering in the case concerning Lindberg Corporation! So it’s all because of her!”

“I’ll resolve this on my own. You don’t need to intervene.” Zachary reminded sternly, “Don’t commit the same mistake as you did two years ago.”

“You’re the one who committed a mistake!” Henry’s fury surged again. “If you had listened to me from the start, if you hadn’t been in a relationship with her, all of this wouldn’t have happened!”

Zachary was speechless. He initially thought that Henry regretted what happened two years ago, but he still had not come to his senses.

“That’s enough. Let’s stop arguing,” Spencer quickly diffused the tension between them. “I’ll wheel you back to your room to rest.”

“How can I rest? Do you think that I can sleep now?” scolded Henry in frustration. “There’s no peace to be found in this family. Not only does that woman dare to kill in my house, but she also opposed me so rudely! How can someone like her stay here?”

“You’re already so old and in poor health. Yet, you can scold someone with such fervor!” mumbled Zachary unhappily.

“What did you say?” Henry grabbed a cushion from the sofa and tossed it at him. “You rascal! You don’t even know what’s important now! Do you want the Nacht family to be ruined?”

“That’s it. I’ll deal with it properly.” Zachary did not want to provoke Henry further. “Go back to your room and rest.”

“Yeah, go and rest first!”

Spencer quickly pushed Henry back to his room.

Meanwhile, Zachary walked out briskly and caught up with Charlotte at the stairs. “Let’s talk.”

“There’s nothing for us to talk about.”

Charlotte refused to discuss anything with him. Instead, she returned to her room and sent a message to Danrique.

She informed him about Ellie being poisoned and requested him to invite Francesco over to cure her.

If she was influential enough to invite Francesco, she would not have to stay in such a horrible place like the Nacht residence.

However, Danrique did not reply to her.
