Zachary stared at Charlotte’s back, his gaze turning grim. He initially assumed that his actions would provoke her. If
she became jealous and kicked up a fuss, it would prove that she still cared about him.
Yet, she was simply too calm.
She showed no reaction when she saw him protect Nancy.
Even though he was hugging Nancy, she still came over and greeted them so graciously.
He had provoked her on purpose, yet she responded with such ease, as if she was completely unbothered.
Zachary wanted to provoke her, but he ended up being infuriated.
Although he wished to tear Charlotte apart out of fury, he held himself back.
I mustn’t act like I’m angry, as if I really wished for her to be jealous. What’s the big deal, anyway?
He had never cheated on her. No matter what, he still clung to his true feelings and waited for her. It was her who
betrayed their love and got together with Louis.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough he was no longer hung up over the past, she still insisted on treating him so coldly.
This meant that she did not care about him at all.
Perhaps, she had stopped loving him a long time ago…
On the other hand, while Charlotte walked away, she kept reminding herself quietly, Don’t be mad. Don’t turn
around. Don’t stop walking. Since he wants to anger me, I need to be calm and gracious…
“That *sshole!” cursed Lupine in fury.
It was Morgan’s catchphrase. In the past, Lupine kept scolding her for not being civilized enough.
Yet, she was saying it now.
“Who are you talking about?” Charlotte rolled her eyes.
“B-Ben of course.”
Naturally, she did not dare to scold Zachary. No matter what, he was still the father of Charlotte’s kids.
Hence, she could only vent her anger on Ben.
“What did Ben do wrong? Why are you scolding him like that?” Charlotte laughed. “He was so terrified when you
yelled at him just now.”
“Ms. Lindberg…” Looking at Charlotte, who was forcing a smile, Lupine could not help but feel worried. “What’s
happening to you? You’ve just been bullied! Are you completely unbothered?”
“Bullied? Who bullied me?” asked Charlotte.
“It’s obvious that Nancy did it on purpose,” exclaimed Lupine indignantly. “She asked you out deliberately before
bringing Mr. Nacht here to show off how intimate they were. She’s provoking you and flaunting her dominance!”
“Firstly, she might not have done it on purpose. Even if she did, she still needs Zachary’s cooperation,” replied
Charlotte calmly. “He’s not dumb enough to be exploited by someone else. Perhaps, the opposite is true—he
brought Nancy here deliberately to act all lovey-dovey and provoke me.”
“Huh?” Lupine was stunned. “That sounds logical too. If Mr. Nacht is provoking you on purpose, it means that he
cares about you and hopes to receive a response from you!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Response? What response?” Charlotte scoffed mockingly, “Should I lose my temper and kick up a fuss like an
uncivilized woman?”
“Well…” Lupine was rendered speechless.
“It doesn’t matter who’s using who to provoke me.” Charlotte sighed. “Now that our survival is a problem, I’m in no
mood to think about such relationship dilemmas. It’s pointless.”
“You’re right.” Her heart aching for Charlotte, Lupine gazed at her. “Mr. Lindberg’s gone now. The Lindberg
Corporation’s situation is so unstable, with the only project we’ve invested in being oppressed. At this juncture, it’s
true that…”
“That’s enough. Let’s go back,” said Charlotte nonchalantly.
Not daring to say anything, Lupine took the car keys from the valet and drove away with Charlotte.
“After we visit Dr. Felch tomorrow, return the car to the Nacht family,” reminded Charlotte. “We need to cut off all
ties with them after sending Dr. Felch off.”
“Understood!”
