Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1397

Charlotte returned Cain's phone to him, then led Jade and Emma into the ward to take care of

Lupine.

Despite the numerous questions she had in her mind, she did not persist with her questioning.

After all, Cain and Kyle did not know much, so it was pointless to ask since she would not get an

answer.

Moreover, Lupine was still in the emergency room. Her life could still be in danger, so Charlotte was

in no mood to be jealous.

It was best to settle the problems she was facing at the moment. As for others, she would deal with

it at a later time.

A restless night passed.

When Ben returned in the morning, his face was a mask of fatigue. On the bright side, he had

settled everything and gotten the approval from the doctor to bring Lupine back to H City.

To ensure Lupine’s safety on their way back, Ben had hired a few doctors and medical staff to

accompany them.

With everything set and ready to go, they took the private jet back to H City at nine-thirty in the

morning.

On the plane, Charlotte and Ben stayed by Lupine’s side.

“I'm glad that she’s fine,” said Charlotte as she gently wiped Lupine’s face with a warm towel.

“Ms. Lindberg, I have something important I need to discuss with you,” Ben said softly.

“Shoot.” Charlotte lifted her gaze from Lupine to focus on him.

He pondered briefly then said straightforwardly, “Firstly, I have Sir Louis and his subordinates in my

hands. I have arranged for them to be taken back to H City for Mr. Nacht to deal with.”

Charlotte was surprised. The previous day was chaotic, and with Lupine getting shot, she was too

restless to think about other things.

She thought Ben was busy cooperating with the police, but instead, he went to catch Louis and the

assassins.

As expected of Zachary's right-hand man.

“I figured I should inform you on this.”

Ben's gaze was on Lupine as he spoke.

“Personally, as a man, I had to take revenge on them for daring to threaten you with Lupine and the

others’ lives and even shooting Lupine. Professionally, I received orders from Mr. Nacht to rescue

you, so I should catch everyone involved and let him deal with them. It's also to avoid any further

mishap. However, since Louis was once... your fiancé, out of respect, I had to inform you.”

“Ben, firstly, I'm very gratified to hear you say that.” There was admiration in Charlotte's gaze. “As a

man, you shoulder your responsibility well and treat Lupine with much loyalty and affection. I feel at

ease to give her hand to you. But there's one thing I need to clarify. Louis was my fiancé indeed, but

that was in name only. Besides, with everything that had happened afterward, we had separated—"

“Wait a minute,” Ben interrupted in astonishment, “you're saying him being your fiancé was in name

only? T-Then that time when you were in the manor in Arkfield, you and him—"

Charlotte did not elaborate. “That was a misunderstanding. I will leave out the distasteful details. All

in all, I never had a romantic relationship with him from the start till the end.

“I didn't have the heart to finish him off because I felt that this tragedy happened because of me. If

it wasn't for me agreeing to his proposal for my selfish reasons, he might not have ended up like

this.

“But just because I feel sorry for him, it doesn’t mean that he can do whatever he likes. Therefore, I

do not have any objections to you catching him and his assassins. However, the mastermind behind

the entire incident is Sir Robert.

“It has nothing to do with Louis, so catching him is pointless. If something happens, I fear it will

cause trouble to you and Zachary, so I suggest you hand him over to me once we arrive at H City.

Let me negotiate with Sir Robert.”
