Chapter 392
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
The Blackwood family left with Sharon, accompanied by Raina.
Spencer was afraid Henryâs blood pressure might skyrocket, so he cajoled the old man to return home and summoned a doctor from Serene Hospital to examine him.
Everyone filed out of the room slowly. It was as if peace had returned.
Taylor was the last to leave. Bruce escorted him to his car.
Before he entered his car, Taylor flashed a warm smile. âI wanted to talk to Zachary, but I donât think he wants to see me. Please convey my apology to him. After all, it was our fault things turned out this way.ââPlease donât say that.â Bruce was full of remorse.
âNo, I should be the one feeling guilty.â Taylor sighed. âIf I knew Zachary was in love with another woman, I wouldnât have agreed to their marriage.â
âWellâ¦â Bruce was speechless.
No wonder Mr. Blackwood is a successful businessman. He knew nothing at first, but he immediately knew Mr. Nacht took the blame to protect Charlotte.
Actually, it doesnât matter who was the culprit. The person who Mr. Nacht protects is the winner.
âThe girlâs name is Charlotte Windt?â Taylor inquired out of nowhere.
âYes,â said Bruce with a slight nod.
âWindt, with a ât?ââ Taylor pressed on.
âYes.â Curious, Bruce wondered why Taylor was being so specific. Is he going to run a search on her?
âItâs a rare surname,â said Taylor thoughtfully. âTwenty years ago, I had a friend with the same surname.â
âOh?â Bruce relaxed at his answer. Heâs trying to find an old friend.
âAlright, Iâll get out of you way. Goodbye!â
Taylor patted Bruceâs shoulder and entered his vehicle.
After he left, Bruce returned to Zacharyâs office.
Zacharyâs office was a mess. He had smashed everything he could. Some object Zachary sent flying nearly hit Ben in the head, but luckily the latter avoided it in time.
Bruce stepped forward to knock on the door as Ben reminded him in a low voice. âYouâre knocking on the door now? Do you have a death wish?â
âWhat else can I do? I need to report the situation to him.â Bruce was frowning. âBy the way, what about Ms. Windt?â
Get someone to send her home,â said Ben. Then, he shared his opinion. âI think she can no longer stay in the company. Otherwise, Iâm afraid Ms. Blackwood will kick up a fuss every few days.â
âThat was what I thought, too.â After taking a deep breath, Bruce knocked on the door.
There was no response. Bruce was wondering if he should leave when the door creaked open.
Ben and Bruce exchanged glances before entering the office cautiously.
Zachary was seated in his chair with his back to them. His reflection on the French windows seemed rather lonesome.
âMr. Nacht, everyone has left,â reported Bruce carefully. âYour grandfather was fuming, but Spencer persuaded him to go home. He summoned a doctor as he was afraid the old manâs blood pressure might shoot up.â
Zachary remained silent and fiddled with a Rubikâs Cube in his hand.
âRaina has accompanied Ms. Blackwood home and stayed on to treat her.â Bruce continued with his report. âI just sent Mr. Blackwood downstairs. He wanted me to relay his apology. He also told me if he knew you were in love with someone else, he wouldnât have agreed to the marriage.â
Still, Zachary said nothing.
âBefore Mr. Blackwood left, he got Ms. Windtâs full name from me.â Bruce studied his bossâ expression.
âHe claimed to have an old friend with the same surname twenty years ago.â
âBy the way, Ben had sent someone to send Ms. Windt home,â he added after a brief pause.
âTell her not to come to the company from now on.â Finally, Zachary spoke.
âYes.â Bruce knew his boss had the same thought as him and Ben. As long as she stayed away from Divine Corporation, she wouldnât bump into Sharon and Henry.
That was the only way to ensure her safety.q
