Zachary could not utter any words to refute. Undeniably, the Nacht family had owed Charlotte too much.
He thought that Cynthia’s heinous act had enlightened Henry. With this, all the misunderstandings and ruckus
bugging them all this while would come to an end. It never occurred to him that there would be another round of
turbulence for them. Unavoidably, nobody would still be able to stay cool under such circumstances.
“Don’t make me say it again! I must take this woman away today!” Charlotte gritted her teeth and pointed at Zara
in exasperation.
“I had sworn to avenge Mrs. Berry by paying Zara Nacht and Sharon Blackwood in their coins! I won’t think twice to
finish whoever dares to stand in my way! You won’t be an exception too!” Charlotte hissed.
Zachary felt a rush of inexplicit complex emotions as he gazed at Charlotte resignedly. A surge of guilt welled up
from within him, yet he could not turn his back on his grandpa.
“I’m sorry!” Like a bolt of lightning, he grabbed hold of Charlotte’s wrist, seized her gun, and pinned it against her
forehead. Everyone was overwhelmed as everything happened within such a short span.

Only then did Lupine come to her senses and fumed, “What a despicable b*stard! How can you treat Ms. Lindberg
this way!”
At the sight of Zachary, who was threatening Charlotte, Morgan rushed out of the car and pointed her gun at him.
“Let go of Ms. Lindberg!”
“Mor, try to cool down…” Marino tried to talk Morgan into putting down her gun. Nonetheless, she turned to point
the gun at him and pulled the trigger without a second thought.
“My goodness! You really did that!” Marino was stupefied; his shoulder was scraped by the bullet.
“Zachary Nacht, you are really a brute! Ms. Lindberg has sacrificed so much by bearing three children for you. The
Nacht family inflicted harm on her numerous times, yet she never thought of settling a score with you. How could
you point the gun at her now?” Morgan was infuriated and lashed out at Zachary.
To her, love was never comparable to her loyalty to Charlotte. Not to mention, Zachary’s indifferent demeanor had
shattered her fantasy for love within seconds.
“All of you from the Nacht family are the same! How can you claim that you are from the prestigious family of the
upper-level society with such a malicious mind! Let go of Ms. Lindberg at once. If not, I will notify Mr. Lindberg at
once!” Lupine became worked up and snapped at Zachary; her hand holding the gun was trembling uncontrollably.
“Mr. Nacht, do you think it’s a bit much for her?” Ben tried to appease Zachary and talk him out of pointing his gun
at Charlotte.
Even Ben felt that the Nacht family had owed Charlotte too much. Thus, it was deemed a matter of fact for her to
insist on capturing Zara. As Zachary’s mind was preoccupied with rescuing Henry at the moment, he was worried
sick that he would exacerbate the situation by acting impulsively.
“Put your guns down and step aside! Do you get me?” Zachary snarled at the female bodyguards of the Lindberg
family.
All of them turned to look at Lupine and Morgan in bewilderment. Nonetheless, the precarious situation sent both of
them into a tizzy, turning their minds into mush.
“Don’t release her!” Charlotte yelled out all of a sudden. “Even if he shoots me dead, you must bear in mind to

Zachary felt a prickle of anxiousness and whispered to her apprehensively, “Why are you so hard-headed? Just let
me save my grandpa first. Once I have saved him, I will surely…”
“Do you dare to shoot me?” Charlotte glared at him and cut him off. “Why don’t you try to shoot me with your
gun?”
“I-I…” Zachary stammered. He did not even place his finger on the trigger of his gun.
“Since he doesn’t dare, I will be the one to do that!” Unexpectedly, Zara fired a shot at Charlotte’s shoulder.
Bang! Blood spurted from her wound at once.
Charlotte stiffened; the instant stabbing pain was numbing her senses. As her blood splattered onto her face, it was
as though her heart was eroded by the penetrative burning sensation of sulfuric acid.
Everyone was rooted to the spot, including Zachary.
“What are you doing?” Zachary bellowed at Zara after he came to his senses.
“All of you from the Lindberg family, put your guns down! If not, I will finish her off now!” Zara threatened.
Intimidated by her threatening tone, all the bodyguards from the Lindberg family could only bow to her by putting
their guns down as instructed.
