“I didn’t come here to create troubles.” Charlotte shrugged her shoulders. “I truly came to pay my respect to Mr. Henry. Shouldn’t you be thanking me?”
“Thanks so much!” Zachary displayed a genuine look. “Would that be enough?”
“Are you trying to chase me out?” Charlotte’s lips curled into a smile as she leaned toward him. “Sharon has escaped. Did you know that?”
“Yes,” Zachary replied in a low voice. “The cops are looking into it right now.”
“You knew she’s my biggest enemy. Why do you keep protecting her? Now that she has escaped. Are you happy now?”
Rage boiled within Charlotte as this came into her thoughts.
“Let’s talk about this later.”
Zachary responded briefly while standing up, getting ready to leave.
“What are you afraid of?”
Just then, Charlotte suddenly raised her tone and attracted the crowd’s attention. In an instant, many shifted their gaze upon Zachary.
Zachary was rendered speechless by that. This b*tch. She likes to create a fuss in public.
Zachary would not have dropped this so quickly if it were not for Henry’s funeral. But right now, he was not in the mood to start a fight with her.
Hence, he turned to Charlotte. “Let’s talk outside.”
With that, Charlotte followed him to the back of the hall.
Morgan wanted to follow too but was stopped by Charlotte.
Both of them went to the lounge at the back while Ben closed the door for them.
Zachary poured Charlotte a cup of tea and started explaining, “The cops have sent out their troops to arrest Sharon. And I’ve also sent my men to track her…”
“Don’t,” Charlotte interrupted him abruptly. “It’s better that you stay out of this. I’ve sent my men. I won’t let her escape this time.”
“We’re not in Erihal.” Zachary furrowed his brows as he reminded, “Everything goes by the law here!”
“Thanks for reminding me.” Charlotte let out a smile. “But, I can take her to Erihal and kill her over there!”
“You…” For an instance, Zachary did not know how to react.
“Why?” Charlotte observed his expression closely. “Do you have any deal with her?”
Pondering for a while, Zachary eventually confessed, “Back then, she promised to become the witness to accuse Zara under one condition. That’s for me to ensure her safety!”
“I didn’t expect she has a brain after all.” Charlotte bit her lips while smiling. “She knew I would go after her life. That’s why she brought up this term with you.”
“Yes.” Zachary furrowed his brows. “I’ve no intention to protect her whatsoever. Instead, I’ve been trying to control her from the beginning and put her to justice…”
“Cut all your noble excuses.” Charlotte was not buying into what he said. “She murdered Mrs. Berry. She deserves to die!”
“She committed the crime in T Nation and managed to find a loophole in the law,” Zachary uttered in a low voice. “But with all her other crimes back in the country, she’ll get sentenced not less than ten years.”
“Do you seriously think that amount of years is enough to pay for Mrs. Berry’s life?” Charlotte was beyond exasperated.
“I understand your feelings.” Zachary chimed.
“That’s why I said I’m going to bring her back to Erihal and settle the scores here.”
Charlotte was not interested in continuing the conversation as she dropped her final warning.
“I don’t care what you’ve promised her. I’m going to find her now, and you’d better not stand in the way. Or else don’t blame me for the consequences!”
Upon saying that, Charlotte stood up and left.
Zachary furrowed his brows as he stared at her back figure. There’s nothing I could do to stop her now. Or maybe I should not stop her at all.
