Chapter 1337

“Listen.” Instead of blaming Ben, Zachary warned. “I don't want someone to love me out of sympathy. A relationship built upon sympathy is meaningless, and I don't need it!”

Ben kneeled before him on one knee and begged for his forgiveness. “I'm sorry, Mr. Nacht. Please forgive me.”

“All my life as a businessman, I've been through hell, but nothing had ever taken me down. Even now I'm on the brink of death, I'm not afraid of dying, because I've lived my whole life with dignity. So please don't take the last shred of dignity away from me. You hear me?” Zachary said in a calm but sorrowful voice.

“Got it.” Ben kept his head down. Tears began to well up in his eyes.

It must have taken this egoistic man a lot of courage to admit how vulnerable he was at this point. Zachary must have trusted Ben wholeheartedly to make that remark.

He hoped Ben could understand him and stop doing anything that would upset him further.

“All right.” Zachary let out a deep sigh. “You may go.”

“I'm so sorry...” Ben apologized in a hoarse voice and left the room.
