chapter 175
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
After ending the call, Charlotte pondered a while before giving Zachary a call.
She wanted to know if he sent the âDelivery from Hellâ.
At that moment, Zachary had just arrived at H City airport. He was walking toward the tarmac with his men.
He was shocked to see who was calling.
Charlotte had always called Gigoloâs number and never did call him directly.
In fact, he never even gave her his number before. Why is she calling me all of a sudden?
Does she suspect my identity and is trying to probe?
In the office today, she must have seen the tattoo on my lower back. Thatâs why she was acting that way.
Hmph, Iâm not going to play this game with you.
Zachary ended the call with a grin.
When she heard the call ended, Charlotte felt a chill in her heart. Since he is not taking my call, did he really send the âDelivery from Hellâ?
No, it canât be him because he has no reason to do so.
Even if he knew Iâm hiding something, he wouldnât use such a devious method to scare the children.
Perhaps he doesnât have my number and chose not to answer an anonymous call?
With that thought in mind, Charlotte quickly called Gigolo. Regardless of whether he was Zachary, she needed to find someone to help her first.
She had the feeling that the person who sent the âDelivery from Hellâ would strike again.
Gigolo didnât pick up too.
When she saw the devastation outside the house caused by the explosion, she was terrified.
With her hands still trembling, she sent Gigolo a message: Gigolo, save me.
âMiss, we are done packing.â Mrs. Berry walked out of the room with a huge luggage bag. âIâve called Mr. Brawn to pick us up when we arrive. He will bring a man with him.â
âAlright, their presence really puts my heart at ease.â Charlotte urged them to hurry. âQuick, Iâll walk you down.â
As Charlotte anxiously led Mrs. Berry and the kids downstairs, she kept reminding her, âMrs. Berry, Iâve put the bank card in your bag. Thereâs a hundred thousand inside so it should be enough for the time being. Be careful and call me when you arrive.â
âI understand.â Mrs. Berryâs eyes were red. âMiss, come with us. I canât bear to leave you alone here.â
âMommy, come with us.â
The children tugged at Charlotte and refused to let go.
âMommy canât leaveâ¦â
Charlotte had a hunch that she was the target of the perpetrators. If she left with them, it might put them in danger.
âRobbie, Jamie, Ellie, you have to be good. Once I resolve this matter, Iâll come to the village to pick you up.â
âMommy, we donât want to leave you.â Charlotte threw herself into Charlotteâs embrace and cried till she trembled. âIâm afraid I wonât see you again.â
Her words unnerved both Robbie and Jamie at the same time.
Robbieâs eyes were red. Despite the urge to cry, he gritted his teeth and stayed strong.
As for Jamie, he clenched his fists with a frown. With tears in his eyes, he pleaded, âMommy, come with us, I will protect you.â
âMommy knows thatâ¦â Charlotte hugged her children tightly as she choked, âMommy knows that you are good children. With you around, I wonât be afraid. Iâm just staying back to find out whatâs going on.
Once Iâm done, I will come for you. Trust me.â
Mrs. Berry was wiping tears off her eyes and didnât dare say another word.
âAlright, time to get into the car.â Charlotte pushed Mrs. Berry and the trio inside. She paid Zak and added, âZak, be careful when driving.â
âDonât worry, I am very experienced as I have driven for more than ten years.â Receiving the money, Zak announced cheerfully, âKids, weâre off!â
As Charlotte watched them leave, she saw the children looking back from the back seat with tears in their eyes. Waving at them, she could no longer hold back her tears.
