Chapter 1505
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1505 Danrique Helped You Gordon raised his doubt. âThink about it. The hospital is a private institution for the wealthy elites, so there should be patients and visitors in the wards, right? But not today. Thereâs only one patient in the entire building. I believe the Gold family took in that man a long time ago. Maybe they were also related to the rumors.â
âWhat is Nancy trying to do?â Lupine asked, exasperated.
âI donât think Nancy has anything to do with this,â he deduced. âAccording to my initial investigations, I believe her father, Jesse, is the mastermind behind this set-up since he has the power to control the media.â
That shocked her. âBut why would Jesse do this?â
He then explained in a serious tone, âNacht Group is in a mess, and the entire organization is vulnerable right now.
Isnât it the best time for them to strike?â
âYouâre right. Everyone is waiting to prey on Nacht Group, hoping to get a piece of it, but Iâm surprised the Gold family is also a part of the rat race.â Lupineâs brows were tightly furrowed as she replied to him.
âTheyâre not saints, to begin with,â Gordon said. âJesse gained his current standing by seizing his relativesâ assets!
Though he had managed to whitewash his dirty past over the years, itâs not difficult to trace back the misdeeds he had committed!â
âAre you trying to say that Jesse is engineering all these things because he wants to seize Nacht Group?â Confused, she continued, âBut how did he manage to control Mr. Nacht? Even if Mr. Nacht has fallen sick, itâs impossible to manipulate someone like him. Unless Jesse has dirt on him?â
âThat man might be an impostor!â Gordon made a bold guess.
âWhat?â Lupine gasped. âBut that man clearly is Mr. Nacht! Who else could he be?â
âPerhaps someone who has a strong resemblance to him?â Gordon looked deep into Charlotteâs eyes. âRemember what Marino said? On the day of the incident, one of his men noticed someone in the garden. That personâs silhouette resembled Mr. Nacht a lot.â
âYouâre giving me goosebumps.â A shiver ran down Lupineâs spine.
All of a sudden, everyone in the car fell silent.
Lupine dared not speak, merely taking a peep at Charlotte from the rearview mirror.
With her head lowered, Charlotte wore a solemn expression on her face. Even her usually bright eyes turned dull.
Lupine knew Charlotte found it hard to accept it. If the man in the house was an impostor, there was a strong chance that Zachary was already dead.
Charlotte was not afraid of facing all kinds of schemes or obstacles in life, but she would lose all the motivation and courage to continue fighting the battle if Zachary was dead.
In a gentle voice, Gordon said, âOf course, whether or not heâs an impostor, that requires your judgment. Only you can tell him apart. After all, youâre the one who knows him best since youâre married to him.â
âGordonâ¦â Charlotte finally spoke. âDanrique told you these, didnât he?â
âUhâ¦â That took him by surprise, and he avoided her gaze.
Charlotte continued, âWithout a doubt, youâre smart and observant. But it seems unlikely for you to be able to find out the Gold familyâs background, deduce the identity of the mastermind, and infer the key issue from the incidents in such a short time.â
She then lifted her head to look at Gordon. âUnless Danrique is helping you.â
Lupine and Gordon exchanged glances, not daring to speak.
âYouâre aware of this too?â Charlotte glared at Lupine. âWhy didnât you tell me that youâve made contact with Danrique?â
âPlease donât be mad at me, Ms. Lindberg,â Lupine explained. âHeâs worried about you, but he doesnât want you to know about it, so Iââ
âYes, Mr. Lindberg sent me here,â Gordon interrupted, deciding to be frank. âIâve been reporting all the incidents that happened today to Mr. Lindberg. He instantly spotted the problem and instructed someone to investigate the Gold family. Then, he had me tell you the findings of his investigations by posing them as my deductions.â
