Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1388

“What?” Zachary replied with a scowl. "What the hell is going on?"

Ben proceeded to tell Zachary everything in detail, which only made him boil with even more anger.

“B*stard!” Zachary shouted as he threw an ashtray at Ben. “How can you keep something this big

from me?”

Ben kept his head down, too scared to even breathe.

“Get the private jet ready. I'm going to Phoenix City!"

“Mr. Nacht, please calm down,” Ben pleaded. “Dr. Wright has specifically ordered bed rest for you.

You aren“t supposed to go out or do anything strenuous. Otherwise, who knows what might

happen?”

Alas, his words fell on deaf ears. “Get out!”

"Please, Mr. Nacht, please listen to me,” Ben exclaimed as he grabbed Zachary's legs. “You have no

idea what a close shave this had been for you. If Ms. Gold hadn't brought Dr. Wright here in time,

you'd be...”

Ben paused, unable to get that dreaded word out of this mouth. “I've already sent two groups of

people to look for Ms. Lindberg, but if you're still worried, I can get Marino to join the search.”

When Zachary didn't say anything, he continued, “No matter what, I can't let you leave the house.

Even if you don’t do it for yourself, do it for your children. If something happens to you, what are

they going to do? Besides, what can you help with, given your current state? And what if Ms.

Lindberg comes back only to see you keel over with exhaustion? Is that what you want?”

Fortunately, those words were enough to persuade Zachary.

“I can't let Marino go. He has to protect the kids,” Zachary said after calming himself down. “What

about Bruce?”

“Bruce has gone to Erihal to look for Francesco. I've deployed Kyle and Cain instead. They're old and

experienced, so I'm sure—"

“They aren't capable enough,” Zachary interrupted as he turned toward Ben. “I need you to go. I

need you to bring Charlotte back safe and sound.”

“W-What? Me? But what's going to happen to you if I leave? There's no one else around you to—"

"What do you mean there's no one else? We have plenty of people at home!” Zachary fumed. “Do

you think I can't survive without you?”

“N-No, that's not what I meant...”

“Then do as I instructed! Or are you no longer obeying my orders?”

Left with no other choice, Ben nodded in reluctance. “Very well then, I'll leave right now.”

“Bring a few more men along. I'm giving you three days. If you don't bring Charlotte back home

safely, you can forget about coming back yourself.”

“Understood,” Ben replied solemnly. “I'll make the necessary arrangements.”

With that, Zachary waved his hand and sent Ben on his way. Unfortunately, Ben's departure to

Phoenix City threw Raina into a tizzy. “How can you leave at a time like this? Without you and Bruce

around, who's going to protect Mr. Nacht?”

Ben let out a big, heavy sigh. “Do you think I don’t know that? You know how stubborn he is, so how

am I supposed to change his mind?”

"What should we do then?” Raina queried, the panic in her voice even more palpable now.

After a while, a light-bulb moment came to Ben. “I'm going to give Spencer a call. Help me arrange

for the private jet, will you? Also, you'll have to stay with Mr. Nacht at all times while I'm gone. We

can't afford another mishap.”

“I got it,” Raina answered with a quick nod. “Go make your call. At this point, we'll have to get Mr.

Spencer to watch over Mr. Nacht.”

“Exactly.”

Soon after, Ben hid in his room and called Spencer.

After hearing Ben's recount of all the events, Spencer flew into such a rage that he almost fell off his

wheelchair.

“Mr. Spencer, calm down...” Ben coaxed. “Mr. Nacht won't be able to leave the house these few days

anyway, so my absence won't be too much of a problem. What I'm more worried about is that

temper of his. If he gets riled up and decides to do something rash, I'm going to need you to hold

him down. I know he'll behave with you around.”
