Chapter 1235

“Mr. Nacht…” When a few of the girls approached, the bodyguards quickly stopped them.

As Zachary walked in slowly, he paid no heed to the girls clamoring for him. However, he didn’t resent
the hedonistic event either. Instead, he casually picked up the wine glass he was served and took a seat
among the businessmen.

Looking at Zachary from amidst the crowd, Charlotte was filled with conflicting emotions.

There was bewilderment, disappointment, and many burning questions.

She didn’t understand why he would want to attend a banquet like this. Maybe he has done this so many
times that it has become a routine for him? Or, is he just looking for some excitement because he is
angry with me?

Nevertheless, she was disappointed to see him in a place like this regardless of the reason. The image
she had of him began to unravel.



I’m just curious though… now that he has successfully taken the children, why hasn’t he taken them
back to H City? Instead, he stays back in Pillere just to attend such an event. Besides, he never liked to
appear in public.

“Looks like I’ll have to eat my words.”



Lupine was embarrassed by how convinced she was a moment ago. She had assumed that Zachary
wasn’t someone like that. However, his presence proved her wrong.

“This banquet is obviously organized for him. So why wouldn’t he attend?”



Charlotte suddenly noticed that all the girls’ attention was focused on Zachary.

Hence, she figured that Theo must have organized the event to help Zachary find a female companion.

Look at how desperate these socialites are at becoming part of the Nacht family. Climbing into Zachary’s
bed would be the first step in achieving their goal.

“That’s the legendary Mr. Nacht. What a looker!”

“Exactly. With such a great figure and powerful gaze, I’m simply mesmerized!”

“He is an excellent specimen of the rich and famous. I would be willing to die just to be his girl.”

“Stop dreaming. He’s mine!”

“Sheesh, who do you think you are…”

As the group of ladies conversed in fluent Ustranasion, all of them were filled with confidence and
excitement.

Some of the gorgeous ladies were already swaggering their curvaceous hips and making their way
toward him.

Watching on, Lupine couldn’t help but lament, “What is this? Despite coming from good backgrounds,
they are still willing to throw themselves at him. Is it really worth it?”

“It’s precisely because they come from prominent families that they are aiming higher,” Charlotte plainly
replied. “To them, only a man like Zachary is worthy of their time.”

“Fine.” Lupine was speechless. All she did was stare daggers at Ben who was standing beside Zachary.
“That b*stard. What a hypocrite. How dare he claim to be loyal in matters of love? Those words simply
ring hollow now.”



“It’s not Ben’s fault. He’s just doing his job staying by Zachary’s side.” After giving him a glance, Charlotte
picked up a cocktail and found a seat in a corner. “If you continue to glare at him, we will be found out in
no time.”

Retracting her gaze, Lupine took her seat beside Charlotte and murmured, “Ms. Lindberg, do you think
they will recognize us?”

“They won’t,” Charlotte replied with conviction. “The mask covers our entire face. How is it possible that
they know it’s us?”

“You’re right.” Lupine nodded. “In that case, do you want to go and see Mr. Nacht?”

“There’s no hurry.” Charlotte narrowed her eyes as she watched a group of beautiful ladies surround him.
“Given how alert he is now, we will be spotted easily. Let’s wait till he is intoxicated before moving over.”

“Wow, the ladies are getting really intimate…” When Lupine saw two ladies with their breasts about to
brush onto Zachary, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrow. “That’s really too-”

Not daring to finish her sentence, she carefully observed the look on Charlotte’s face.

Lowering her gaze to take a sip of wine, Charlotte was a sea of calm. However, her other hand beneath
her dress had balled tightly into a fist.

She wasn’t aware that she still had feelings for him. Despite caring for him and being filled with jealousy,
she knew she couldn’t show her true emotions no matter what.
