Chapter 1712

Chapter 1712qNancy followed suit. She sent all her lackeys away, save for her two most trusted lieutenants.
“What do you need, Ms. Gold?” Zachary cut to the chase right away.
“I heard about Chris.” Nancy looked agitated. “Is he really down with AIDS?”
“And how'd you find out about that?” Zachary frowned. I didn't even tell anyone about that. How did
Nancy know? Who told her?
“So it's true.” Nancy's hands were trembling with rage. “That animal!”
“It's unconfirmed yet,” Zachary answered calmly. “All we know is that one of the women he had sex with
is diagnosed with AIDS. We have no idea if he's infected.”
“But the chances are high.” Nancy was about to have a breakdown. “What should I do then?”
“Don't scare yourself. It's unconfirmed yet,” Zachary assured her calmly. “You should have gotten your
blood checked before you came, right?”
“I did, but nothing would show even if I were infected.” Nancy was like a cat on hot bricks. Then she
hissed, “Chris is an animal! He has ruined my life! I'm going to haunt him forever! And Charlotte as
well!”
Nancy's eyes glinted with cold malice. “She did this to me!”
“And what does this have to do with her?” Zachary frowned.
“When Chris... deceived me that night, she was standing right there, but she didn't stop him. All she did
was watch as he defiled me. She is a vile and wicked woman. Now, do you think she has nothing to do
with this?”Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebookNancy was trembling with anger as she spoke. “I was about to let this slide for your sake, but now I
found out that she got a woman to sleep with Chris, and that woman's diagnosed with AIDS! She's
doing this to me on purpose!”
“You think too highly of yourself,” Zachary answered solemnly. “Charlotte was in a dire situation back
then. She had to face your father, Chris, and her enemies in the company. She had no time for you.”
“Mr. Nacht-”
“Let me finish,” Zachary interrupted seriously. “You were not a threat to her. You have never been a
threat to her, nor will you ever be. In fact, you helped her before, so she has no reason to drag you into
this. She only hired that woman to sleep with Chris to protect herself, and she didn't know that the
woman has AIDS. In fact, Peter only found out about that this morning.”
Zachary paused for a moment, then he squinted at Nancy coldly. “Back to my question. How'd you
know about this? Have you been following Peter? Did you abduct and torture him until he told you
about it?”
Nancy averted her gaze and chose to keep quiet about it.
“Let him go right now,” Zachary told her imperiously. “Or I will teach you a lesson.”
“Peter's a tough cookie to crack. He wouldn't tell me anything about Charlotte. I only found out about
the matter because his men told me about it. I know he's your friend, so I didn't do anything to him.”
Nancy explained angrily, “But Mr. Nacht, I am your friend as well. When you were in trouble, I helped
your wife in secret. I exposed my father because of you, but you don't seem to think of me as your
friend.”
“What do you want?” Zachary didn't say much, and he frowned at her.“Charlotte and Chris did this to me, and you expect me to let it slide?” Nancy hissed.
“For the last time, your father and Chris did this to you. Charlotte has nothing to do with this.” Zachary
was finally getting impatient, and he warned, “As long as I am here, nobody can lay a finger on her.”
