Chapter 1551
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1551 You Know It After mulling over her words, âZacharyâ supposed she was right. Now that the identity battle is still ongoing, so there are many variables. Moreover, she is exposed under the light while my side is shrouded in the dark. There is no reason for her to poison me at this point.
Else she will be digging a hole for herself if we are in a situation like this.
So the only possibility left is that person had bribed the doctors and faked the report. Or has the person bribed one of the staff and faked the sample?
I know Iâm not poisoned. So the problem lies in the report.
âDonât tell me you werenât aware that you have been poisoned?â
Charlotte thought of a question and narrowed her eyes at him.
âDid your body show any unusual signs the past few days? Could there be any symptoms you might have missed?
Maybe you were poisoned before you even returned.â
âZacharyâsâ body stiffened at her consecutive speculations. His eyes were wide as a saucer with hints of disbelief and dread.
He suddenly realized that person could do that, but he pushed that thought away.
No. No way. It canât be.
âFrom my understanding, if one had no obvious symptom from poisoning, that could only mean it was a slow-acting poison. Slow-acting poison requires more than one or two doses. The victim needs to be dosed over a long period-â
Zachary shot to his feet and strode to the restroom quickly before Charlotte could finish.
A smirk curled on Charlotteâs lips as she watched his back.
âMs. Linberg, why did you say so?â Morgan asked by her ear. âThere are slow-acting poisons that take effect slowly and do not require long-term doses. Like the one, Mr. Zachary had-â
âIf I donât put it that way, how do I scare him?â Charlotte countered. âLook at him now. He was so frightened that he must have gone and questioned the person behind him.â
âRight. I have managed to set up mini spy cameras at the lounge.â Morgan covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, âIf he contacts that person, weâll get a clue. And with that, weâll be able to determine that personâs whereabouts.â
âExcellent work.â Charlotte picked up the teacup and took long, slow sips of her tea.
Bruce and Raina exchanged a glance. The two had mixed feelings about Charlotte. Raina had opened her mouth a few times intending to say something to Charlotte but shut it in the end.
On the other hand, Bruce had remained silent since the beginning.
After a while, âZacharyâ came out from the lounge with a hostile expression. His eyes were burning with rage.
He tightened his hold on his phone uneasily.
âThe call canât get through?â Charlotte pointed out after just a glimpse of his side profile. âThat person has begun to reject your calls?â
âZacharyâ was stunned at Charlotteâs accurate assessment. But he didnât take the bait and merely stayed silent.
At that moment, awareness passed between them.
âZacharyâ was certain that Charlotte knew the truth about him and the presence of a mastermind behind him. But they had to continue with the act.
âThis person is truly amazing.â Charlotte sighed, âI had thought it was stupid of that person to have you come back and impersonate your brother-â
âZacharyâ was baffled by Charlotteâs right-on-target remark. âYou-â
âBut then I realized the ingenious plot that person had schemed. One trap after another, so closely linked. That person had calculated every step to the tiniest accuracy.â
Charlotte briefly sipped on her tea before she continued, âThe night before my wedding, that person had you sneak into Northridge and set fire. Then, that person added fuel to the fire by spreading all kinds of rumors when the Nacht Group was in chaos.
âThere were rumors about how I was back for revenge under my brotherâs instruction. How I intentionally hurt Zachary for the assets of the Nacht family and there is also a rumor about my children arenât his.
âEverything builds up to the big reveal today.âq
