Chapter 347
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Charlotteâs eyes shone. She was about to lie when Mrs. Berry agitatedly continued, âIt really was him.
That a******. Karma will get him!â
âNo, you got it wrongâ¦â Charlotte tried to explain.
âWhatâs wrong?â Mrs. Berryâs face was red with anger. âYouâre never one to lie. One look and I know exactly what happened.â
âIt was him, but he didnât hit me. He hit someone else and I stood in his way. Which is whyâ¦â
âSo it was him? The next time I see him, Iâll be sure to teach him a lesson,â said Mrs. Berry with frustration.
âYou canât. Heâs the Devil. It was dangerous enough when you hit him with the broom. If you try something like that againâ¦â Charlotte rushed to advise her against it.
âSo? Itâs not like heâll kill me. At the very most, Iâll sacrifice my life fighting it out with him,â said Mrs.
Berry fearlessly.
âHe might not kill you, but he could punish me.â Charlotte threw out her trump card.
âWhat? Fine, then. I wonât go after him.â Mrs. Berry immediately calmed down.
She pulled Charlotteâs hand and anxiously urged her, âMiss, letâs stay away from him. We donât need his house, the people he hired, or his hospital. Letâs go to Mr. Brown instead.â
âDidnât you see how he beat up Michael? Michael is no match for him.â Charlotte furrowed her brows tightly.
âNot even Mr. Brown can fight him? Is the bad man that powerful?â Mrs. Berryâs eyes widened in terror.
âDonât let your imagination run wild.â Charlotte tried another method of comforting her. âHeâs not so bad.
He has saved me many times. If not for him, I would have lost my life long agoâ¦â
âReally? When?â Mrs. Berry was astonished.
âThose timesâ¦â
Charlotte recounted those times where she was in danger, when the house exploded, when she was attacked, and how it was Zachary that saved her each time.
Mrs. Berry was absolutely appalled.
Finally, Charlotte added, âHeâs not a bad person. He just has a bad temper. So, letâs not poke the bear.â
âFine, I understandâ¦.â Mrs. Berry sighed. âI really hope we can return to those quiet days. Although we were poor and times were hard, life was stable. Nothing much happened. With all that happened recently, Iâm always on my guard.â
âIt wonât happen in the future. You can relax.â Charlotte made a silent resolution.
âMiss, promise me youâll be okay.â Mrs. Berry grabbed Charlotte and choked out, âBefore Mr. Windtâs incident, he hoped that you would be safe and happy. Nothing else matters!â
âYes, I know. We all have to be okay. You need to cooperate with treatment and get better soon so you can help me take care of the children!â
âYes.â
In the afternoon, Raina brought Mrs. Berry back to the hospital. Dr. Howard and the three attendants took care of the children while Charlotte took a short rest.
The kindergarten principal called to ask Charlotte if the three children needed to take a leave of absence.
Charlotte asked the children what they thought, and they decided to return to the kindergarten the next day. Dr. Howard and the three attendants would accompany them the entire way.
Jamie enjoyed crowds and found it suffocating to be at home.
All Ellie wanted was to go out to play. Although Robbie could be calm, he wanted to go to the kindergarten to learn.
Life was finally at ease. The next day was Monday, and Charlotte also decided to return to the office to work.
She was determined not to go against any of Zacharyâs requests.
As long as I donât cross him, our family will have a good lifeâ¦
