Chapter 1459 Love Rivals And Allies
A solemn expression surfaced on Nancy’s face instantly. “It’s a serious matter, so I do need some time to consider.
Anyway, I’ll give you a reply once I’ve finalized my decision!”
Zachary shot a glance at the banquet hall. “I hope your banquet isn’t affected.”
She smiled while shaking her head. “No worries. Since we took care of everything at the back of the hall, the guests
are completely oblivious to what had happened moments ago. However, Mr. Brown seems to be enraged.”
“Don’t be bothered by him,” he replied nonchalantly. “I’m glad to hear that you’re not affected.”
“I have to bear the responsibility for your previous injury as well, so I’m relieved for being able to help you lure out
the culprit.” Nancy chuckled.
“It has nothing to do with you, so you don’t have to feel sorry for that. All right, I’ll be making a move first. See
you.” Zachary flashed her a smile and walked away.

“Goodbye.” Nancy remained in the same spot and watched as their car sped off. Her eyes were gleaming with the
usual affection toward the man.
Charlotte, staring at Nancy through the rearview mirror, could not help but feel uncomfortable.
“Are you jealous?” Zachary looked at her with a gentle gaze and held her hand.
“You seem to trust Nancy a lot. Why did you take the risk to request her to act out this show with you when you
know that she has feelings for you?” she asked quizzically.
“I only wish to eliminate the lurking threats for you as soon as possible. No doubt, I’d still be able to get to the
bottom of the matter if I carry on with my investigation, but I’m running out of time.” His nonchalance sent another
wave of indecipherable mixed emotions into her heart, but she could not utter any words.
“Nancy might be a little crafty, but she’s far from wicked. Not to mention, she’s sensible and considerate. If you can
develop a friendship with her, you’ll surely stand to benefit from that!” Zachary added meaningfully.
In a split second, displeasure was written all over Charlotte’s face. “Friendship, huh? I’ll never develop one with her.
You’re praising her, aren’t you? Do you mean to say that I’m insensible and inconsiderate?”

“Undoubtedly, you tend to be swayed by emotions…” He paused and tried to reassure her by saying, “Don’t get me
wrong…”
“Hmph!” Charlotte snorted, turning her back to him.
While smiling, Zachary patted her on the shoulder. “Are you angry at me? Don’t be petty.”
“Since she’s better than me, go and look for her then. After all, she hasn’t given up on you!” she grumbled, sulking.
“I’m just stating the facts. When it comes to business, you have a lot to learn from her.” He smiled again.
“Zachary Nacht!” Charlotte was about to explode with anger.
Wrapping his arms around her, he coaxed her by mumbling gently, “Don’t be angry, okay? I’m worried that you
won’t be able to support the whole family by yourself when I’m gone. That’s why I wish to get you a few allies who
will help you overcome the obstacles in the future. Do you get it?”
“Stop talking nonsense. You’ll be fine. I’ll save you by all means!” Charlotte stretched out her hand to cover his

mouth instantly, for she did not want to listen to him speak so pessimistically. Anxiousness coursed through her
body, causing tears to well up in her eyes.
After kissing her forehead, Zachary pressed her face lightly against his chest. “Silly girl… Trust me. I’ll never fall for
anyone else. Even if I seem to be close with anyone, it’s for your sake.”
She nuzzled into his chest, whining coquettishly, “I don’t care! You mustn’t love anyone else except me!”
Planting kisses on her lips, he shook his head resignedly. “Yes, yes. You still sound like a kid. When will you grow up
and be more mature?”
“I don’t want to grow up when you’re with me,” she murmured, hugging his waist and listening to his heartbeat.
Ben, who was at the driver’s seat, could feel his eyes turning misty. He was the only one who knew that everything
Zachary did was for the sake of Charlotte and their family.
Although Lupine was puzzled, she knew for a fact that Zachary was trying to convince Nancy to be Charlotte’s ally.
Even so, she could not see the feasibility of his plan.
After all, the two women were love rivals.q
