“You…” Infuriated, Ben and the others followed along quickly.
He refused to be preempted by the Lindberg family, and ended up being labeled as an incompetent fellow,
especially in his own territory.
Right then, Zachary who had received the news came down from upstairs.
“Mr. Nacht,” Bruce reported, “Ben has gone after her.”
“Don’t let her get away,” Zachary instructed, furrowing his brows.
“Rest assured that we’ve deployed a lot of men to handle this.”
As Bruce was speaking, the screeching sound of an eagle was heard from upstairs. Shortly after, it zoomed past
above their heads like an arrow. Swoosh.
Automatically, Bruce bent down to avoid the eagles’ widespread wings.
Subsequently, a dark shadow bolted across the room, and a gust of wind blew past them.
“Ahh!” Several maids and nurses screamed in trepidation. Among them, two had collapsed on the floor.

Meanwhile, in the dining room, Charlotte maintained her composure and continued having her meal without batting
an eyelid.
Zachary approached her and explained, “About Sharon…”
“I know,” Charlotte cut him off while shooting him a death stare. “The night I was fighting Zara, you accompanied
Sharon to the suburbs and protected her in all aspects. Thereafter, you even moved her home to be right under
your nose because you’re so concerned about her safety. Well done, Zachary!”
“No, you’ve misunderstood.” Zachary tried to justify himself, “I just wanted to collect more evidence and put them
behind bars…”
“What other proof do you need?” Charlotte found his reason blatantly ridiculous. “With the power bestowed upon
the Nachts, I seriously doubt you can’t uncover the truth within two years.”
“I’ve long discovered the truth, but we need solid evidence to bring them to justice.” Frowning, Zachary continued,
“This isn’t Erihal. We can’t take things into our own hands.”
“Is that so?” Charlotte arched her brow. “Zara poisoned me, abducted Robbie, and even instructed Sharon to
assassinate Mrs. Berry. Will the Nachts be principled enough to carry out what’s right and put her to jail?”

“Yes,” Zachary stated firmly without any hesitation.
“That’s what you said verbally, but I don’t see any action being taken.” Charlotte pushed further. “It’s been two
years. Isn’t that more than enough time to source for the much needed evidence?”
“That’s because…” Initially, Zachary wanted to reveal how Danrique swept the proof under the carpet. However, he
changed his mind, thinking that it would only enrage Charlotte more. “To cut the long story short, I’ll give you an
explanation on this.”
“If you truly wanted to come clean with me, you wouldn’t have delayed it till now. More essentially, you wouldn’t
have protected Sharon!” Charlotte cast a suspicious look on him. “You deliberately covered up for her. There must
be more to it than meets the eye, right?”
“Of course not,” Zachary denied it right away. “I’m just thinking…”
“Mr. Nacht is back!” someone announced loudly. Before Zachary could finish his sentence, he heard the car engine.
Stunned, he wondered why Henry was home at that time. His health is so poor, and he has barely recovered. Why

was he discharged out of a sudden? Could it be that…
Without further ado, Zachary strode to the door with a dimmed expression.
“Why is Mr. Nacht home at this hour?” The panic-stricken Mrs. Rawlston advised Charlotte, “Ms. Windt, whatever
Mr. Nacht says to you, please don’t take it to heart.”
Then, she instructed the maid, “Jade, go wake Robbie and Jamie up. Tell them that their great-grandpa is here.”
“Okay!” Jade did as per requested.
“Don’t worry. With Mr. Robinson around, Mr. Nacht won’t do anything to you.” Worried sick, Mrs. Rawlston added,
“Ms. Windt, shall I go with you to welcome Mr. Nacht?”
Charlotte put down the utensils and wiped her lips with the napkin. Then, she glanced at the busy maids carrying
out their chores. Placidly, she posted a question, “Mr. Nacht has never been fond of me, right?”
“Um…” Mrs. Rawlston did not know how to respond to that although she knew exactly what happened behind the
scenes.
On their wedding day, Mr. Nacht forced Zachary to keep the babies, but kick the mother of the children out of the
house. Therefore, Mr. Nacht’s men forcibly sent Charlotte and Mrs. Berry away… That’s an indisputable fact.
