Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1481 Realizing What Happened With Nacht Group under control, Charlotte could now relax.
As Nacht Group was influential and had gained a foothold in the corporate world, as long as there was no internal chaos, they could face the outside world together. No one could cause them any harm.
However, there might be some unpredictable changes.
They might be stable now, but no one knew what would happen in the future.
Just as she had told the board members earlier, there should be plenty of rivals planning to make things difficult for Nacht Group.
She dared not let her guard down.
No matter how busy Charlotte was at work, sheâd head to the hospital and police station once a day.
Every day, sheâd urge the police to find out where Zachary was, but they insisted that he had perished in the fire.
There was nothing else to do but to wait for Ben and Ellie to regain consciousness before they could get more clues.
Ben was injured badly and wouldnât be regaining consciousness for the time being. Hence, Ellie was their only hope, but she remained comatose.
No matter how anxious Charlotte was, she had to regain her composure back at home to comfort Jamie and Robbie. They had been wallowing in sorrow after the incident.
This was especially so for Robbie, who locked himself in his own room and refused to see anyone.
Charlotte had wanted to give him some time to calm down, but he had been staying in his room for four days.
Worried, she decided to knock on his door after coming home that night.
âRobbie, itâs Mommy!â
Silence greeted her.
Concerned, Charlotte continued saying, âRobbie, Iâm coming in.â
Having said that, she pushed the door open and headed in.
To her surprise, the room was well lit. Robbie was seated before his desk with a pair of noise-canceling headphones covering his ears. He was typing on his keyboard furiously as though he were a workaholic.
There were no signs of despair, sorrow, or even negativity, for he was busy thinking of a solution.
Charlotte felt her heart ache at the sight.
âMommy!â Sensing her presence, Robbie looked up and removed his headphones hastily. âWhy are you here? Did you receive news about Daddy? How are Mr. Ben and Ellie doing?â
Charlotte hugged him tight and replied in a choking voice, âDaddy will return for sure. Ellie and Mr. Ben will also recover soon.â
âMm, I know.â Robbie gave a firm nod as determination shone in his eyes. âIâm still finding out where Aunt Francey is. Though there are no updates for now, Iâm sure Iâll get to it. As long as I can locate Aunt Francey, Daddy will be saved when he gets back.â
âRobbieââCharlotte inhaled sharply before cupping his cheeks gentlyâ âMommy will take care of it. This is not your responsibility.â
âBut I want to contribute,â Robbie insisted, his eyes bloodshot. âIâll only wallow in despair if I donât do anythingâ¦â
Charlotte was at a loss for words. She felt her heart aching for him.
âMommy, donât worry about me. Iâm fine.â Robbie wiped her tears away softly. âI know youâre busy and tired, but you must take good care of yourself. Donât get sick.â
âMm.â Charlotte nodded.
âJamie and I want to hold a wake for Little Fifi. Weâve been in a daze for the past few days before coming to the realization that Little Fifi died to save Ellie. Weâre very upsetâ¦â Robbie trailed off and burst into tears.
His brave front had disappeared.
Just then, Jamie walked in and flung his arms around Charlotte. He wailed, âLittle Fifiâs gone, Mommy. Itâs gone for real!â
It took them a few days to realize Little Fifi had left them for real.q
