“Fifi had always been an obedient pet. It has never behaved this way before.” Charlotte frowned. She later complained, “You must’ve frightened it.”

“I saved you. It’s bad enough that you’re not thanking me, but now you’re even blaming me?” challenged Zachary with his brows raised. “Isn’t that a little too much?”

“It won’t have acted this way in the first place if it hadn’t been for you!” insisted Charlotte, who looked furious.
