qMichael pleaded, “Mr. Nacht, I know Helena is guilty, but she didn't do any real damage this time. I beg you to let
her go this one time. I swear that I will take her back to M Nation, and she will never set foot in H City ever again.”
“No real damage?” The word struck a nerve with Ben. “Do you know that vase almost—”
“I know, I know.” Michael sounded apologetic. “Mr. Nacht is a distinguished person, and if anything were to happen
to him, it would set off a chain reaction. I'm sure his injury must have caused a massive impact. Therefore, the
Brown family will bear responsibility for all of the consequences. All I ask of you is to let Helena go this one time.”
“Bear responsibility? Can you even afford it?”
Ben was livid. Nonetheless, he understood that Michael assumed Zachary's injury from being hit by the vase was
nothing serious. Since the wound had healed, Michael must have believed that the issue could be solved without the
cost of Helena's life.
Little did he know that the vase almost took Zachary's life.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf not for the wound, they would have a lot more time to locate Francesco, and Zachary's life would not be hanging
by a thread.
“Mr. Nacht, I—”
“Ms. Gold!”
At that moment, Nancy had regained her consciousness. Rubbing her head, she settled down on the sofa. When
she saw the situation before her, she quickly understood what had transpired. “It looks like the plan worked. We
finally caught the perpetrator.”
“Thank you for helping me with the act.” Zachary took off his jacket and draped it over her. “You should leave now;
I'll take care of the rest.”
“All right.” Wearing his jacket, she stood up with the help of her subordinate. After giving Helena a cold hard glance,
she suggested to Zachary, “This person has attacked you, knocked me unconscious, and even conspired to harm
us. You can't let her off lightly.”
“Don't worry,” he acknowledged.
When Nancy walked past Michael on her way out, her eyes met with his dark ones, and she stopped in her tracks
and remarked, “Mr. Brown, don't hold it against me. All I wanted to do was to lure the perpetrator out.”
“Is that why you approached me and organized the banquet at my hotel?” He glared at her. “You used me!”
“As if you aren't in the wrong for helping a criminal.” Nancy raised her chin. With a righteous tone, she said, “If I
hadn't cooperated with Mr. Nacht to put on this show, we wouldn't have caught the mastermind. Who knows what
devastating consequences could have awaited us in the future.”
“You...” Despite his outrage, Michael still had his reason. “It's not wrong for you to lure the mastermind out, but why
can't you let me know in advance? I wouldn't protect her if I knew the truth.”
She did not believe him. “That's hard to say. Everyone has a selfish side to them.”
“You...” Michael was rendered speechless by her retort.
“Nevertheless, I would like to apologize for lying to you.” Inclining her head, Nancy apologized, “I'm sorry, and I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhope we can still be friends.”
With that, she left the room.
Coincidentally, Charlotte had just arrived with Lupine. When she saw Nancy coming out from the lounge with
Zachary's jacket draped around her, her face darkened.
Nonetheless, she maintained her composure and asked calmly, “Where's Zachary?”
“Inside,” Nancy responded coldly and left right away.
Although she had given up on Zachary, it did not mean that she could be friendly to Charlotte.
“Stand right there!” Lupine blocked her way.
“What do you think you're doing?” Nancy raised an eyebrow.
“Who knows if you have done anything to Mr. Nacht?” Lupine snapped. “Before we get to the bottom of this, you're
not allowed to leave.”
“What a joke! I insist on leaving, so what are you going to do about it?”
Right after Nancy spoke, the Gold family's bodyguards prepared to strike Lupine.
“Don't you dare lay a finger on her!” Charlotte stepped forward to shield Lupine.
While both sides refused to back down, Cain came out of the room. “Ms. Lindberg.”
