Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1374
âI had the same doubts too upon hearing that. I talked to the cat owner and got a statement of
what happened. Then, I simulated the crime scene based on the statement. I'll send you the video
right away.â
Charlotte looked at the video after Michael sent it. The owner had bought some fresh roses and
took the vase over to the balcony to place her flowers in there, but before she was done, her phone
rang and she ran back into her room to get the call.
It was then that the white cat jumped from the floor to the balcony, sending the vase dropping
downward.
At first glance, everything seemed legitimate, but Charlotte still felt something was off.
There's still something odd about this incident, but I can't seem to figure what it is...
"Did you see it already?â Michael called back after a while.
âYeah. I can't find anything wrong with the video, but we can't just take her for her word. She might
not be telling the truth.â
"Of course. I've already directed her to Ben. They will decide what to do with the case. I'm really
sorry for what happened. I'll do everything I can to make it up to Mr. Nacht.â
âThat's a job well done. Thanks for your help. I'm proud of how you handled everything, Michael.â
âCome on, I'm almost thirty. I have to know how to handle something like this,â Michael replied with
a laugh. âLuckily the room is on the fourth floor and the vase's not big. Things could have been
more serious if the room were higher. The impact could be fatal.â
âI know right...â Charlotte replied. It still unnerved her to think about what happened. âBut his
wound is still pretty big.â
âI'm really sorry for everything. I went to the hospital in the morning to see Mr. Nacht, but he had
already left, so I could only ask Ben to relay my apology. I also told them that I'm more than happy
to make any form of compensation.â
âDonât say so. It's just an accident,â Charlotte comforted, âI really have to go, Michael. I'm at the
airport already. I'll talk to you later.â
âThe airport? Where are you off to?â Michael questioned.
âI'm going back to the countryside. I need to attend to something. I'll be back tomorrow night.â
"Alright. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. Can we meet up again after you come back? I have
something I need to tell you,â Michael asked reluctantly.
"We'll see how things turn out. I'll keep you updated.â
Lupine pulled up beside the entrance and got off to open the door for Charlotte. âI really got to go,
Michael. Talk to you later.â
"Alright. See you.â
Carrying her baggage with her, Charlotte got off in a rush with her three bodyguards following her.
âI don't think it's just an accident,â Lupine said her piece of mind, âThe vase could have fallen right
on you if Mr. Nacht had not pushed you away. Everything happened a little too perfectly â this is
just too coincidental, don't you think so?â
âI think it's weird too, but Michael will never lie to me. He has probably gotten to the surface of
things. I bet he doesnât know what actually happened, but it's okay. Ben has a lot of experience
when it comes to things like this.â
âI agree. I know he'll untangle all this mess.â
âLet's board first. We'll talk about the rest later.â
âSure.â
The four women boarded the plane.
Over at Southridge, Zachary snickered after looking at the video. âSeriously? Do they really think I'll
buy this?â
âDo you think it's Michael? I don't think heâs that kind of person though,â Ben stated
âIt's not him.â Zachary was sure about this. âIt's someone else and this person wants Charlotte
dead.â
"Who can it be?â Ben asked, âI sent someone over yesterday night, but the hotel staff said they
could not let us look at the room because of guest privacy. Then Michael allowed us in later on, but
I guess the instigator had already left.â
