Chapter 1040

Henry’s eyes widened in disbelief. He had never imagined that his daughter would use him as a hostage.

“You… you ungrateful beast!”

Despite being in dire circumstances after being shot twice, Spencer couldn’t resist cursing at Zara.

“Every man for himself!” Zara asserted. “Moreover, I’m just holding you hostage. Your life is still in Zachary and Charlotte’s hands. As long as they are willing to let me leave, no one will get hurt. Or else, both of us will die together!”

“You… you have gone mad!” Henry was outraged. “I really regret saving you. I should have let you die!”

“You reap what you sow.” Watching the scene coldly, Charlotte sneered, “This is the poisonous snake that you have raised yourself. You don’t feel a thing when she is hurting others. But now that you have become her victim, you finally realize how painful it is!”

Henry was humiliated by her words.

“Zara, you crazy woman!” At that moment, Zachary joined the scene. “Let go of Grandpa at once!”

“She has truly gone mad to even take her own father hostage.”

Ben and Bruce were bewildered by what they saw.

Together with their subordinates, they surrounded her from the back.

At that moment, Charlotte’s team was in front of Zara while Zachary’s men were behind her.

Surrounded in all directions, Zara had no escape.

“Whoever approaches, I’ll kill Dad!”

Zara remained defiant. She believed no one would dare touch her as long as she had Henry as her trump card.

However, Charlotte didn’t care as she waved her hand and ordered, “Seize her!”

“Yes!” Lupine and the rest surrounded Zara at gunpoint and prepared to take her down.

Panicking, Zara cocked her gun and pointed it at Henry’s head. She screamed, “Don’t come near me!”

Lupine and her team hesitated as they looked in Charlotte’s direction.

“He is your father. What has it got anything to do with me?” Charlotte scoffed. “You’re using your own father to threaten me? Is this a sick joke?”

“You…” Feeling distressed, Zara turned toward Zachary and barked, “Zachary, do you hear me? If that woman makes a move, I’ll kill your grandfather. He has always adored you and raised you himself, turning you into the successful man you are. He even handed you the entire Nacht Group. Is this how you’re going to repay him?”

Zara’s tone was extremely cynical.

She spoke as if Henry hadn’t raised her to be successful.

It was obvious to everyone who the ingrate was here.

However, at that moment, no one could be more shameless than her.

Zara had struck at the heart of Zachary’s weakness. She knew that he would never let Henry come to harm.

“Charlotte, get them to lower their weapons.”

Just as expected, Zachary compromised.

“How dare you!” Instead of budging, Charlotte was further incensed. “The Nacht family harbored a criminal and planned to smuggle her out of H City. Now that you have been betrayed, you’re asking me to let her go? Zachary, do you know how ridiculous that sounds?”

“The Nacht family has wronged you.” Zachary lowered himself to beg, “I’m begging you, please back off. As long as my grandpa is safe, I’ll make it up to you-”

“Make it up to me? How?” Charlotte furiously cut him off. “Two years ago, when she sent men to assassinate me in T Nation and caused Mrs. Berry’s death, you told me that you would make it up to me. One month ago, when she kidnapped Robbie, you said the same thing again!

“After that, she attacked me at Rokan Hill and injured my subordinates, that’s when you repeated your vow again!

Can you tell me when will you ever fulfill it? Not only did you not keep your promise, you even helped the foolish old man to assist her on her escape! Is that how the Nacht family fulfill their promises?”
