Charlotte trembled as she stole a glance at Zachary apprehensively.

Zachary narrowed his eyes at her as he made his way to her slowly.

“Mr. Nacht, I thought...”

“What?” Zachary snapped before Peter could finish. “You thought I didn't want her anymore, so you let her serve other men here?”

“No, that's not what I meant...”

Zachary was already grabbing Peter by his neck before the latter could explain further.

The force he exerted almost crushed his windpipes.

Peter widened his mouth as he rolled his eyes back, veins popping on his forehead. He reached out as an attempt to free himself but to no avail. His hands slumped to his side.

“No...” Olivia lurched forward. “Let him go!”

Zachary's bodyguard stopped her in her tracks. She did not even get close to his side.

“This has nothing to do with him. Please let him go,” Charlotte pleaded.


Her pleas fell on deaf ears as Zachary tightened his grip. It seemed as if he wanted to take Peter's life right then and there.

“Zachary Nacht!” Charlotte could not hold it in any longer and growl at him. “You're the one who got engaged with someone else, and you're the one who fired me. Who are you to act like you're the saint?”

It worked like a charm.

Zachary slowly loosened his grip and turned around to gauge the woman with an icy cold gaze. “What did you say?”

“I...” Charlotte widened her mouth and said nothing further. She was just trying to divert his attention. There was no way she was truly putting the blame on him.

“Charlotte Windt!” Zachary enunciated her name and grabbed her by the back of her head, edging her close to himself as he glared at the woman. “You really pissed me off this time!”

Then, he proceeded to drag the woman by her hair, making his way to his private room.

“What are you doing? Let her go.” Olivia wanted to stop the man but was blocked by Ben. “Don't worry, miss. It's just lover's spat.”

“How can a lover's spat be this violent?” Olivia could not bring herself to believe what Ben was saying. “You guys can't do this. Let her go or I'll call the police.”

“Why would we bother to save her if she's not my boss' lover?” Ben explained patiently to her. “Lady, our time is much too precious to waste.”

“But...” Before Olivia wanted to say anything, she was stopped by Peter.

He was soothing his neck with one hand, and clutching Olivia's hand with the other. In a croaky voice, he said, “Mr. Nacht is Charlotte's boyfriend.”

Olivia had only stopped going after her friend after listening to Peter. She turned around and noticed that Charlotte had already been dragged inside the private room by the formidable man.

“Ah, it hurts...”

Charlotte felt as if her scalp was going to be torn off her head. She reached out to grab Zachary's arm, struggling to break free.

The man threw her on the sofa. He took a bottle of wine from the coffee table and started to pour it on the woman's face.

“Ugh...” Charlotte shook her head furiously, trying dodge the wine from dribbling on her face. However, Zachary pinched her by the cheeks, essentially pinning her down and immobilized her.

It did not take long to finish the entire bottle.
