Just when Charlotte stormed off, she saw Zachary carrying Nancy into the elevator.
The moment the elevator door was about to close, he suddenly looked in her direction.
At that moment, both of them made eye contact. One had an icy gaze while the other was filled with conflict.
Charlotte wondered if he had recognized her.
If he didn’t, why would he look at me? No, wait. Perhaps, I attracted his attention after kicking someone into the
water. That’s understandable after all. If he really recognized me and yet, took Nancy away while I was being
harassed, that would really have been too much.
At that moment, Charlotte was in so much turmoil that she clenched both her fists.
“You d*mn woman!” Jared had climbed out of the pool. He bellowed, “How dare you kick me! I’m going to kill you!”
Just as he spoke, Jared attacked Charlotte from behind.
With a darkening gaze, Charlotte turned around with a whirlwind kick and sent the man hurtling into the pool again.
Splash! Water ripples were everywhere.

At that moment, everyone was stunned. They had assumed Jared fell into the pool earlier by accident after fooling
around with Charlotte. But now, they had witnessed Charlotte’s ferocity.
Her eyes were filled with murderous rage.
With no time to lose, Charlotte quickly left. Watching the elevator’s levels, she saw that Zachary had taken Nancy to
the forty-eight floor.
He really can’t wait, can he?
Filled with rage, Charlotte hurried to the elevator.
“Stop her!”
By then, Theo had grown suspicious of Charlotte as she still had her mask on when all the other girls had removed
theirs. It was obvious that she didn’t want to be recognized.
If anyone with malicious intentions had infiltrated the event, it would have been terrible.
After all, everyone present was a VIP and no harm should ever come to them.
When a few bodyguards went up to stop Charlotte, Lupine, who was dressed as a waitress, stood in their way. She
told Charlotte, “Ms. Lindberg, go on ahead. I got this.”

Just when the bodyguards wanted to stop Charlotte from entering the elevator, Lupine unleashed a kick and sent all
of them flying.
From that moment, the scene turned into utter chaos.
The ladies screamed in fear while the men called for their bodyguards.
All of them were fearful for their own lives.
Meanwhile, Theo ordered a large group of bodyguards to take on Lupine and capture Charlotte at the same time.
However, the elevator door had closed and Charlotte was heading directly to the forty-eight floor.
“D*mn it! The two assassins are heading in Mr. Nacht’s direction.” Theo was seized by panic. “Quick, send more
men to capture the two women.”
“Yes.”
When Charlotte heard those words in the elevator, she couldn’t help but knit her eyebrows.
This is all Jared’s fault. I was about to slip away and follow Zachary when he suddenly got in my way and caused the

situation to escalate. Luckily, they didn’t know who I was. Nevertheless, I have to find Zachary now and negotiate
with him. But, he is with Nancy now. Have they…
With that thought in mind, Charlotte was filled with exasperation.
In the meantime, Zachary had carried Nancy out of the elevator and arrived in his room.
The moment he entered, he saw a bottle of wine on the table with a big bouquet of roses by its side.
As for the carpet and the bed, they were all covered in rose petals.
Theo was the one behind the surprise.
Nancy could feel her cheeks heating up. Biting her lip, she snuggled up in Zachary’s arms, not daring to move a
muscle.
Zachary placed her down on the sofa and remarked in a deep voice, “You should go and wash up.”
“Okay,” Nancy acknowledged softly before heading to the bathroom.
Sitting on the sofa, Zachary had a glass of wine in silence.
“Ahem!” At that moment, Ben knocked and entered. When he didn’t see Nancy in the room, he reported at once, “A
fight has broken out downstairs.”
Zachary continued sipping his wine without responding. It was as if it had nothing to do with him at all.
