Nancy 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 wereinfected.” 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?’

Nancy 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, flow'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.

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. New chapter avаilable

“Charlotte and Chris did this to me, and you expect me to let it slide?” Nancy hissed.
