Chapter 1506
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1506 Bait After a long moment of silence, Charlotte let out a sigh. âSince even Danrique said so, then that man must be an impostor.â
âYou mean you noticed that too, Ms. Lindberg?â Lupine was surprised.
Charlotte frowned and said, âThe resemblance is uncanny. Even the way he moves and speaks is just like Zacharyâs.
But the manâs eyesâthereâs something in his eyes that tells me heâs not Zachary.â
She continued, âI was a little conflicted at first, thinking I was being too skeptical until I saw the disgust on his face when Jamieâs snot dripped on him and how he had avoided having eye contact with Robbie. From then on, I knew something was wrong with that man.â
âSo if heâs not Mr. Nacht⦠Who is he?â Lupine could not believe it. âHow can someone look exactly like Mr. Nacht?â
âItâs strange indeed.â Gordon then asked, âShould I take him down and interrogate him?â
âNot now.â Charlotte shook her head. âTo be safe, letâs make a confirmation first. Before the incident, Zachary had experienced a certain degree of memory loss. Someone could have taken the opportunity to manipulate him, so that may be why heâs behaving differently.â
âButâ¦â Gordon did not know what to say. Charlotteâs hypothesis was not scientific by any means, but it was not totally impossible.
Moreover, the illness that had plagued Zachary before the incident was also an inexplicable one.
âI understand all the evidence shows that heâs suspicious, but Iâm still hopeful. I hope that heâs Zachary. At least it means that heâs alive.â Charlotte was utterly conflicted.
âThen, please confirm his identity as soon as possible,â Gordon exhorted. âIf that man is the Gold familyâs puppet, youâve put yourself on the line.â
âGordonâs right.â Lupine could not help but shudder at that thought. âWhat if something happens to the kids?â
âHow about I go back with some men now to keep an eye on him? With me around, Iâm sure he wouldnât dare to try anything funny,â Gordon suggested hurriedly.
âItâs fine.â Charlotte stopped him. âIn fact, we have to lie low if heâs not Zachary. We can use him as bait to help us lure out the mastermind.â
âSo youâre sayingâ¦â Gordon began to understand her plan.
Charlotte deduced, âI believe in Danriqueâs judgment, but I also suspect that Jesse is not the only person involved in this plan. The Gold family doesnât know much about the Nachts, Zachary, me, and the kids, but that man clearly knows a lot about us. If heâs not Zachary, heâs definitely more than just an impostor!â
âCould he be the one you suspected the last time?â Lupine asked.
âLetâs not draw a conclusion so soon.â Charlotte did not want to continue with the topic anymore. âAnyway, Iâll ascertain that manâs identity first. If heâs not Zachary, then weâll use him to lure Jesse out.â
âWouldnât it be too risky?â Gordon was still concerned. âYouâre playing with fire. You can get the kids and yourself burned.â
âWe have to move the kids to another place.â Charlotte frowned. âLupine, letâs make a trip to Garden Villa.â
âAll right,â Lupine answered and immediately did as told.
âGordon, get down at the front and keep watch over the hospital,â Charlotte ordered. âThose people know Ben and Ellie are the most important witnesses to the case. Once they recover, that manâs identity will be exposed. Hence, Iâm worried that they will target Ben and Ellie.â
âGot it. Iâll take care of it.â Gordon nodded. âBut what about the girls?â
âIâll make the arrangements. Donât worry.â Charlotte took out her phone and called Spencer. âThereâs something I wish to discuss with you, Mr. Spencer. Iâll meet you in twenty minutes.â
âSure. Iâll wait for you at the door,â Spencer replied.
