“Have you finished leaving your testimony at the police station?” asked Zachary with a smile.
“Yeah.” Nancy nodded and said calmly, “For that four hours, I said everything I could and provided all the
evidence possible. My lawyer told me that after these questions are confirmed, it’ll be impossible for my
father to get out of jail anymore.”
“Do you regret it?” asked Zachary.
“I don’t.” Nancy smirked mockingly. “Looking at how pathetic he is, I felt extremely satisfied… I’m
planning to go back to Salinsburgh to pay my respects to my mother. If she learns about this in heaven,
she’ll definitely be delighted.”
When Zachary heard that, he fell silent. He could imagine what had happened to Nancy during this
period of time. She must have hated her father so much that she would react in this manner…
Actually, he expected all these.
“Mr. Nacht, will you still fulfill your promise?” asked Nancy softly.
“Of course.” Zachary smiled. “I said that if your father touches the Nacht Group and you help me accuse
your father, I will not touch the Gold family. In fact, I’ll help you rise to power!”
“Actually, now that my father is gone, I’ll definitely inherit his role. My sister can never defeat me.” Nancy
grinned. “However, I just need you to promise that you’ll not touch the Gold family.”
“I’m a man of my word,” promised Zachary.
“In that case, thank you.” Nancy lowered her head and thanked him. Immediately afterward, she
mumbled,” Oh, right… Um…”
She hesitated, unable to say what was on her mind.
“What do you want to say?” Zachary raised his head and looked at her.
“I haven’t married Chris yet. We reached a mutual agreement that we’ll just put up an act, so we didn’t
actually register our marriage. Hence, I didn’t infringe on your legal rights.”
Nancy hesitated before saying that. On her way there, she kept wondering if she should test Zachary
using the marriage and see if there was still a possibility between them.
However, after she met him, she realized that he did not love her at all. Thus, she suppressed her urge
to even test him out.
She started to understand that some people were not fated to be hers.
No matter how hard she tried, she would never get them.
Hence, she decided to preserve the last remnants of her pride instead.
“Actually, since Chris is an imposter, the marriage will not be effective legally even if you have registered
it,” explained Zachary calmly. “Of course, it’s better if it’s not registered. It’ll save us the hassle of going
through so many procedures.”
“So, you’re going to marry Charlotte, right?”
Nancy still asked the question. She really wanted to know how deeply he loved Charlotte.
“Of course,” replied Zachary unhesitatingly. “I’ll give her a perfect wedding and a happy future.”
“Congratulations!” Nancy squeezed out those two words through her sobs. Then, she got up and left with
her head bowed.
“Thank you,” replied Zachary politely. He watched her leave before continuing to review the documents.
When Nancy reached the door, she turned around and glanced at Zachary, who had resumed work. She
said again, “I have another request.”
“Go ahead.” Zachary raised his head and looked at her.
“Can you leave Chris to me?”
When Nancy said that, her eyes were filled with hatred. She would never spare the man who destroyed
her entire life.
“He’s from the Nacht family, so I have to deal with him personally,” said Zachary calmly. “I’m sorry, but I
can’t agree to that.”
Although Nancy was disappointed, she did not say anything and left.
After Zachary finished dealing with the last contract, he saw that it was getting dark outside. Hence, he
stopped working and headed to the hospital.
Bruce and the rest were accompanying him. The car had just left the underground carpark when an
eagle’s shriek sounded from outside. He raised his head and looked out of the window, knowing that she
had come.
