“But Charlotte has definitely come here to negotiate with Zachary. Now that she’s missing, she has to be inside.” Louis was filled with anxiety. “Mr. Murphy, please get the hotel management to open the door.”
“Louis, are you crazy?” Theo, too, was desperate. “This is Mr. Nacht’s room. By doing that, are you trying to get me killed?”
“This is Pillere. We’re in F Nation, my territory. What are you afraid of?” Louis’s desperation intensified. “If you don’t want to open it, I’ll get my men to do it.”
“Louis, calm down. Stop messing around!” Left without a choice, Theo pleaded, “I’m begging you, please don’t make me do this. Given the ruckus you’ve caused, you are going to cost me my life. I am fully responsible for organizing this event. If Mr. Nacht is upset in any way, I will be held accountable for it. You should leave with me first, and I promise that I will find Ms. Lindberg for you, all right?”
“Charlotte is definitely here.” Louis remained stubborn. “Her subordinate has searched the entire hotel and can’t find her still. Therefore, this is the only place she can possibly be.”
“You…”
“Sir Louis, what are you doing? This is Mr. Nacht’s room. Please leave!”
Ben had arrived to chase Louis away.
Although Louis was someone influential, members of the Nacht family never feared anyone of power.
Previously, they only respected Louis because he was Zachary’s good friend.
Evidently, things had changed.
“Ben, it’s good that you’re here.” When he saw Ben, Louis frantically suggested, “Open the door, I want to talk to Zachary.”
“Sir Louis, has the alcohol gone to your head? How can I open Mr. Nacht’s door on my own accord?” Ben was speechless. “Please leave and do not interrupt Mr. Nacht’s rest.”
“I won’t leave until I see Zachary.”
Having lost his patience, Louis got his subordinates to call for the staff.
Theo continued to persuade him while Ben, too, reminded him of the gravity of his actions.
Meanwhile, Charlotte was pushing Zachary away anxiously.
The matter was supposed to be resolved internally. As of then, only she and Zachary knew of her identity.
However, now that Louis was causing a scene, it would be humiliating for all three families if the matter got out.
“What’s wrong? Do you feel bad?” Zachary smirked. “He has come at the perfect time. Whatever he gave me the day before, I will return it to him today!”
Just as he spoke, Zachary tore off Charlotte’s swimsuit, leaving her stark naked.
“You…” Covering her breasts with her arms, Charlotte screamed, “Have you gone mad?”
“Yes, I have. I have been driven mad by you.”
Zachary unlocked the door with the remote control before climbing onto Charlotte and forcefully kissing her on the neck.
Outside, Louis barged into the room when he saw that the door was unlocked. “Charlotte, Char-”
His words got lodged in his throat the moment he saw Charlotte and Zachary.
Utterly dumbstruck, he stared blankly at them.
“Let go of me!”
Charlotte pushed Zachary away angrily and covered herself with a pillow. When she raised her hand to hit him, he grabbed her by the wrist.
“You were the one who threw yourself at me.”
Standing up calmly, Zachary threw a blanket on top of Charlotte. With his back facing Louis, he straightened his clothes elegantly.
At the door, Ben had prevented Theo from entering. “Stand down. This is none of your business.”
“Will anyone lose their life?” Theo was filled with panic.
“No.” Ben chased everyone away.
Just then, Lupine arrived. When their eyes locked, she shot him a glare before charging in.
“Zachary, I’m going to kill you!”
Louis grabbed the fruit knife from the table and charged hysterically at Zachary.
“Louis! No!” Charlotte screamed.
Lupine wanted to stop him but it was too late.
