Chapter 399
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Seeing this, Zacharyâs brows knitted tightly and his face was terribly gloomyâ¦
He had long known that Sharon was arrogant and wilful and that she would use any means to achieve her goal but he had never expected her temperament to be so despicable and vicious that she would poison herself in order to frame Charlotte!
âMr. Nacht, although this matter has been revealed, it must be handled carefully.â Ben reminded cautiously, âThe news of Divine Corporation and Synder Groupâs cooperation has been released as well as the news of your engagement with Ms. Blackwoodâ¦â
âThe old man is really persistent.â Zachary sneered. âWhat about the news being released? If I refuse, can he tie me up to get engaged?â
âBut itâs not good for you to challenge Mr. Nacht like this.â Ben said softly, âItâs not doing any good for Ms. Windtâ¦â
âThatâs why I fired her and let her go away, so I can deal with it.â
Zachary was spinning the phone in his palm while his eyes stared outside the window. What is that Stupid Woman doing now?
For her sake, he had challenged his grandpa and got slapped on his face. She did not even text him.
Where is her conscience?
âAlright, then.â Ben stopped talking, knowing that Mr. Nacht could not be swayed.
âItâs strange,â Zachary remarked coldly, âHow did a gentle person like Taylor raise such a daughter?â
âIt is said that Ms. Blackwood was born illegitimately out of wedlock. She was raised outside the family until she was ten. She may have developed a vicious character because of her upbringing. By the way, Mr. Blackwood seems to have a legitimate daughter who is one year older than Ms. Blackwood and a mute⦠I think her name is Cynthia,â Ben said.
âI met her when she was a child and she looks quite neat but a little autistic.â Zachary remembered, âIâm curious. Why does the old man want me to marry a daughter of the Blackwood family? Is it because he admires Taylor?â
âI seem to have heard Mr. Spencer mention that when your father was young, he was close friends with Mr. Blackwood. Mr. Blackwood also saved his life. Later, your father met with an accident. It was Mr.
Blackwood who took care of Old Mr. Nacht. Speaking of it, the Nacht family owed the Blackwood family a huge favor!â
âAm I supposed to return the favour?â Zachary sneered.
âYou canât say that.â Ben was very objective. âItâs mainly because Ms. Blackwood is the right candidate for you, and she knows how to please Mr. Nacht. Besides, she has concealed her true temperament too well the old man is deceived.â
âThe old man makes misjudgments tooâ¦â Zachary cursed softly, âThe older one gets, the more foolish one is!â
âYou sound a bit rebellious when you say that.â Ben looked at him cautiously.
âDo you need to say such nonsense?â Zachary glared at him. âHas he gone to see those three little brats again today?â
âYes, I heard that he went directly to the kindergarten.â Ben was a little worried. âMr. Nacht likes these three children so much but hates Ms. Windt. If he knows that these three children belong to her, I donât know how he will react. â
âIâm also very curiousâ¦â Zachary sneered, âIsnât he pretentious? This incident should teach him a lesson, let him know that his judgement is flawed.â
Ben felt it was wise not to comment.
He kept his peace.
At the Apple Kindergarten, the three children had finished their classes. As they got ready to get up the school bus, a Rolls-Royce pulled over.
The door opened and Spencer helped Henry get down from it.
From afar, Mr. Henry waved to the three kids, âChildren, I am here to see you!â
âMr. Henry!â Ellie rushed over to the old man, almost knocking him over.
âOh, my little sweethearts. Slow down.â Spencer was so scared that his heart almost jumped out, âMr.
Henry canât take your running into him like this, he might fall.â
âWhat can happen?â Mr. Nacht glared at him, âCan a three-year-old injure me?â
âNo, butâ¦â Spencer lowered his head, not daring to say more.q
