“Aren’t you the one who said that anything goes as long as the objective is achieved?” taunted Marino, “If you girls are allowed to move at will, then why can’t we?”
“You…”
“Shut up!”
Lupine had more to say, but Charlotte cut her off.
“I will honor my word,” said Charlotte before she picked up the wineglass and downed her drink.
“You truly are an incredible leader, Ms. Lindberg,” said Zachary. His lips curved into a satisfied grin before he stalked toward her and reminded her, “Since you’ve lost, you are mine tonight.”
“Oh my!”
Everyone started murmuring amongst themselves.
They were all excited and happy for Zachary because Lindberg Corporation was the one who kicked up the dust in the first place, then had the audacity to cheat.
Zachary, on the other hand, acted like a gentleman and kept backing away despite their constant unreasonable requests. In the end, he still won under those unfavorable circumstances.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEveryone was delighted to see an ending like this.
“Ms. Lindberg…” said Morgan. She had her hand on her swollen cheek and had stepped up to receive her punishment. “I did not do my job well. Please punish me.”
“Leave!” instructed Charlotte grimly with a frown. She turned around and scoffed at Zachary before asking, “You’d better think this through, Mr. Nacht, so you won’t regret it in the future.”
“I’ve never regretted any decision I made,” replied Zachary before he pulled Charlotte into his arms. He stroked her hair and whispered, “I’ll give you a striptease once we’re alone in the room.”
His last sentence was extremely flirty and left many with room for imagination.
The business tycoons were all excited at that moment. They were cheering silently for Zachary, but they never said a word.
“Sure,” replied Charlotte. She showed no signs of being a shy and awkward lady. Instead, she hooked her arm around his neck and leaned into him before she said, “I am curious to see how you look like doing a striptease performance.”
“Wow!”
Everyone was howling and whistling excitedly.
That was especially true for the men. They were applauding Zachary so much that it was as if he had just fought and won a battle for the male species.
“What are we waiting for, then? Every second counts!”
Zachary held Charlotte’s hand and rushed out of there, while their bodyguards hurried to keep up with them.
The business tycoons who had been watching the show were all staring enviously at Zachary.
Ben and Marino were also happy for Zachary.
The driver had already pulled the car up when Charlotte and Zachary left the banquet hall.
Just when Zachary was leading Charlotte into his car, she grinned seductively and suggested, “It’s a beautiful night. Why don’t we go for a walk?”
“You’re wearing high heels. Will you be alright?” asked Zachary as he stared at her eight-centimeter heels.
“It’ll be fine as long as I do this.”
Charlotte took off her shoes and held them in her hand. After that, she hiked her gown up and led the way walking down the road.
Mixed emotions rose within Zachary as he watched her back. It felt as if he had suddenly returned to two years ago.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBack then, Charlotte was carefree and wild. She had since assumed another identity and became stronger, but she would still subconsciously show her cute and naughty nature.
That is who she is. It will never change, regardless of how much she pretends to be otherwise.
Zachary took off his coat and draped it over Charlotte’s shoulder before he took a step back gracefully. He didn’t try to take advantage of her or anything.
“I didn’t think you were such a gentleman,” commented Charlotte with a smile.
“Are you trying to say that you see me as a crude man?” asked Zachary with his brows raised.
“The kind of person you are is not important,” replied Charlotte as she stared ahead at the beautiful street. She then narrowed her eyes and added, “The important thing is that the Lindberg family and the Nacht family are mortal enemies!”
Her words got Zachary’s heart to sank. She’s right. The Lindbergs and the Nachts had always been enemies. She has been provoking the Nachts ever since she showed up here. That could only mean that the Lindberg family is declaring war on us…
There was a time when they were worried that the Lindberg family would discover Charlotte’s real identity and deliberately use her to get to the Nachts. That was the whole reason Zachary sent her away. Who would’ve thought that after all the twists and turns we took, we’d still end up here?
None of that matters, though. I don’t care how tough the road ahead is. I will get her back…
