Chapter 268

The manager thought, "Damn it! Today has been the worst day ever. I've pissed off the wrong guy. I've been working hard to run a business, and now I have to worry about who I've offended.

After the staff were out, Zackery and Rose made their way to the private room. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Nicole sitting in front of a table, looking totally lost and crushed, as if she had been hit by a truck Rose was about to go to her when Zackery raised his hand to stop her.

"Back off!"

Zackery was already in a bad mood after being woken up. Seeing Rose trying to stick up for Nicole at this hour, his tone naturally turned stern.

He walked straight over, stopping right next to Nicole without even saying her name. He grabbed her by the collar and viciously slapped her face.

It made a sound as loud as thunder.

The whole private room seemed to be filled with the resounding echoes of the slap

Nicole was knocked onto the sofa by the slap. She sat there, numb and still, slowly raising her head.

P

Rose felt her heart broken at the sight, but she didn't dare to do anything, just standing there sadly.

Nicole had cried bitterly for a long time, and her voice became hoarse. She didn't seem to notice Zackery leading people into the room, sitting there with no reaction whatsoever.

The slap stopped her from crying. But even though the tears had stopped, she still seemed dazed and lost.

Then her gaze slightly shifted, and for a moment, she didn't get what had just happened. She climbed up from the sofa, feeling the burning pain on her face, her head still ringing from the impact.

When her vision regained focus, she looked again and realized that Zackery had arrived. It was only then that she belatedly. realized that the thunderous slap had come from his hand.

She lowered her head in a daze, touching her burning check. Tears once again streamed down her face without. The dried-up tear ducts were suddenly flooded, her eyes stinging, but the pain in her heart far outweighed any physical discomfort.

on?"

"What a disgrace! What the hell is going on

Zackery was furious, wishing he could slap her a few more times. A single slap couldn't calm his anger. But looking at her made him feel somehow sorry.

He thought, 'Nicole has returned to Faycaster with a baby. How could I stand that? As a lady from a prestigious family, she had a baby before getting married. Who the hell is the father of this kid? And what the hell was she thinking? She just ran off and came back with a bun in the oven. She's trying to kill me, that's what she's doing. I've always loved my kids, but I've also been tough on them. If this gets out, it will ruin our reputation and my status. I was hoping she would marry Charlie, but now she has a child. How am I supposed to face anyone?

Seeing the situation getting out of hand and Nicole's miserable look, Rose couldn't take it and said, "Zackery, let's calm down."

"Shut up!

Zackery was already furious, and Rose's foolish interference was just adding fuel to the fire.

He turned around, ignoring the others around him, and yelled, "If you don't stop butting in, I deal with you too! What let's calm down'? If you hadn't spoiled her so much, letting her do whatever she wanted, would she have done something so stupk

Zackery's words hurt Rose, making her eyes turn red. She was already worried sick, and being scalded in front of others made her feel even more humiliated. She covered her face, turned away, and felt a surge of sadurss.

Wdson, watching the scene, initially blames his mother for being nosy. But seeing her berated by zackery, he felt a twinge of

pity. He quickly whispered soothing words. "Mom! We're in public. You should behave like a classy lady and don't interrupt Dad to save face for him. Whatever Dad says, don't chip in. If there's something to talk about. let's do it at home, okay? You're making Dad look bad by doing this"

His words made Rose nod helplessly and hold back her tears and sorrow. But tears filled

her eyes.

Nicole, seeing Zackery's explosive anger, became even more scared and fearful, crying even harder.

She always respected Zackery, her father. He was usually kind and gentle, but when he got angry, he was a ticking time bomb.

"What right do you have to cry here like a blubbering idiot? Tell me, how did you get a baby? You have no shame about getting knocked up and then coming back here to cry. You're acting all sorry now, but what were you doing before?"

His harsh words made Nicole's eyes even more swollen.

Zackery never set eyes on Charlie.

Charlie sneered inside.

He thought, Zackery is such a snob! In the past, whenever I saw him, no matter how big the problem was, I would always nicely greet him. But maybe because he heard something or found out that I had proposed to Kamryn now, he realized he has no chance between Nicole and me, so he just acts like I don't exist. He wasn't a wimp and decided to fire back. In front of everyone, he said with a contempt tone. "Your daughter, I don't know what's wrong with her. She stole my sperm from the gene bank, snuck off abroad, and had an IVF baby"

Zackery's eyes popped out in shock. "What?"

Rose, standing next to them, was also stunned, her eyes wide open.

And Wilson fixed his shocked

gaze on Nicole.

He thought, "What? She actually did something like that. Stole someone's sperm and went overseas for artificial insemination. Is she crazy?":

Then, something suddenly hit him, who had been slow to catch on.

He thought, When Nicole disappeared before, a huge amount of money vanished from my account. The off-limits, seven- figure funds were entrusted to me by Zackery. Could it be that she used that money and did this insane thing? She bribed the gene bank manager, stole sperm, and went abroad for an IVF baby. Is she out of her mind?

He gritted his teeth. Zackery hadn't noticed this issue yet, so he kept quiet. Zackery had never asked about that money, but now he didn't dare speak up. If he did, and it turned out that Nicole had stolen that money, Zackery would be mad and beat her to a pulp. He was afraid that both Nicole and her baby would be in danger.
