Chapter 1075
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âMr. Nacht,â said Ben as he knocked and entered the room to report, âMs. Lindberg is gone.â
âIs Ellie here?â
Zachary received a call from Ellie that day. She claimed that her mother would drop her off that day because she wanted to pay her respect to her great-grandpa.
âNo,â replied Ben while shaking his head, âMorgan called earlier and said that they will be here at around eight oâclock. Iâm guessing theyâre trying to avoid something.â
âOkay,â murmured Zachary before he nodded and instructed, âTell Cain and the others to be careful when they find Sharon. Donât act impulsively. Instead, call me right away.â
âMaybe we should just ignore the matter entirely?â suggested Ben carefully, âMs. Lindberg is especially sensitive about the matter, and it will be troublesome in the future if Sharon ended up making things even worse between you and Ms. Lindberg.â
âEven so, we must keep an eye on the matter. If Charlotte and the police found Sharon at the same time, they might get into a fight,â replied Zachary while frowning.
âThatâs true. Ms. Lindberg has a terrible temper. If Sharon taunts her, she might just shoot and kill the woman on the spot. If the police saw that, they will have something over her,â said Ben while nodding.
âThat is what I am most worried about. She has already decided to leave H City, so I canât afford to let anything bad happen at a crucial time like this,â said Zachary while looking grim.
âUnderstood. I will make the call right away.â
âWait,â said Zachary, who was still too worried. He instructed, âCain might not be able to do everything on his own.
Have Bruce take Marino to join forces with Cain.â
âUnderstood. Iâll relay the message right away,â replied Ben before he hurried out of there.
Just then, Robbie and Jamie entered with lentil soup. They said, âDaddy, you havenât eaten anything all day. Here, have some soup.â
âThank you,â replied Zachary as he stroked his sonsâ cheeks. He was touched by their gesture. He asked, âDid you get to see your mommy?â
âYeah,â answered Jamie happily, âBefore she left, she secretly gave us both a hug at the back entrance. She even said that she will drop Ellie off tonight. Is that true?â
âYeah,â informed Zachary as he grinned at Jamie, âMommyâs employees will drop Ellie off tonight. She wants to pay her respects and see great-grandpa one last time.â
âGreat,â said Jamie who was delighted, âDoes that mean she is no longer sick?â
âYeah, she has recovered. Your mommy wonât drop her off otherwise.â
Zachary sipped some tea. He had been so busy lately that he didnât have any appetite in the last few days. Seeing how his kids delivered the soup in person got Zachary to cheer up a little.
âIâm glad,â replied Jamie before he sighed a breath of relief.
âDaddy, did you get into a fight with Mommy again?â asked Robbie as he frowned and stared strangely at Zachary.
âNo, we were just having a discussion, so donât worry,â said Zachary as he stroked Robbieâs tiny head.
âOkay, then eat up and rest up. Weâll head out for now,â said Robbie after he nodded.
Then, he dragged Jamie away.
Zachary was about to chow down the food when his phone rang. The call was from Charlotte, and that surprised him, so he quickly picked up the call. âHello?â greeted Zachary.
âDid you send someone to come pick Ellie up?â asked Charlotte nervously.
âHuh? No, I didnât. Whatâs going on?â asked Zachary, who was stunned.
âSo it really isnât you?â blurted Charlotte. She instantly panicked and shared, âThen who came to pick Ellie up? My people said that it was the Nacht familyâs carâ¦â
As Charlotte spoke, she recalled something and immediately instructed her subordinate, âFind out where Peter Jones is right now!â
âUnderstood.â
âCharlotte? Whatâs going on? What happened to Ellie?â demanded Zachary nervously.
âSomeone took Ellie and Olivia away. If you werenât the one who did that, then it is possible that Zaraâs men did so.
Either that, or Sharon is behind thisâ¦â
âWhere did they take them from? Was it your place?â
âYes.â
âI will send my men and investigate the matter now. Weâll share information with each other in real-time. I am blacklisted at the moment, so remove my name from the list for now. That way, my men can investigate much efficiently.â
âOkay.â
When matters involved their kids, the two adults became in sync right away and were working together to locate their daughter.
