Charlotte couldn't help but weaken her resolve when she saw Hector's depressed face.

She said earnestly, “Hector, no one has a perfect life. Hardships and obstacles are inevitable in life. Dealing with them is not scary. The real disaster begins when you go on a self-destructive path.”

Hearing her words, Hector sneered, “Hardships? It's Zachary Nacht who brought all these on me.”

Charlotte unwittingly turned to Zachary.

Zachary leaned back on the sofa in an arrogant posture, holding a glass of wine in his hand. He elegantly took a sip from the glass as if he heard nothing.

He didn't mind what Hector had just said. Instead, he remained silent and looked at the latter with a smile of mockery.

“Hector, you're drunk. Stop saying gibberish.” Helena quickly stepped forward and held him down.

“What? There are no outsiders here.” Hector was indeed drunk. With unstable footsteps, he approached Charlotte and wanted to pull her close. “Charlotte, there's so much I want to tell you...”

Before he could reach her, she was pulled backward and fell onto the sofa.


“Who are you?”

Right then, Hector finally noticed Zachary who was wearing a mask. The way he dressed looked nothing like the arrogant, domineering president whom everyone knew. Therefore, Hector couldn't recognize him, nor could Helena.

She sneered at the masked man, “You're asking a stupid question. He's a model at Sultry Night. Just now, Ms. Windt almost picked up a fight with a few wealthy women over this man.”

“Charlotte...” Hector gazed at Charlotte in disbelief.

“Do you not believe what I said? She was caught in a scandal with a gigolo four years ago.” Helena despised Charlotte from the bottom of her heart.

“Shut up!” Hector cut her off, then asked emotionally, “Lottie, tell me it's not true. You're not a flirtatious woman, right?”

“Do you really know me? Do you really know what kind of person I am?” Having a cold smile on her face, Charlotte asked rhetorically.

Hector froze and looked at her in surprise.

“You never know my true self. You didn't know me back then, and even now.”

Charlotte cruelly uttered those words that were supposed to be the most loving ones in the world. “You'll be my world when I'm in love with you. You're nothing to me when I don't love you anymore. It's just as simple as that.”

“You let go of me four years ago when I needed you the most. From that moment onwards, there was nothing else left between us.

“If you were still as smart as what you used to be, perhaps you could still have a place in my heart as my first love.

“But look at you now. You're such a disappointment.” Charlotte sized Hector up with a cold-eyed gaze.

After hearing her words, Hector's heart was shredded into pieces. He lowered his head in silence.
