Chapter 495
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Zachary focused on the incoming cars, waiting for Zaraâs arrival.
Although he appeared to be calm as a millpond, his emotions were rioting inside.
Ben dared not say a word. He stood beside Zachary, accompanying him in silence. Their bodyguards were on full alert.
Raina came over with a few female medical staff. They were on standby for Charlotteâs arrival.
A minute passed, then two. Ten minutes had passed.They still didnât manage to find Zaraâs convoy.
Zachary impatiently glanced at his watch. It was already seven oâclock. He frowned and continued to monitor the movement on the road. There were cars driving by, but none of them was Zaraâs.
What is that woman up to?
Zachary took out his phone and wanted to give Bruce a call.
Right then, Ben said, âTheyâre here!â
Zachary raised his head and saw a convoy of cars slowly driving over. The convoy was escorting a Hummer.
Ben made a gesture with his hand and all the bodyguards kept their guard up.
Zachary squinted his eyes and stared at the Hummer until it stopped.
Zaraâs men got out of the car and formed two rows in a defensive position.
The men from both sides were facing off one another directly.
After that, a few female bodyguards got out of the car and opened the door for Zara. She stepped out of the car elegantly, radiating a cold and powerful aura as one of the Nachts.
âLong time no see, my good nephew!â
Zara took off her sunglasses and cast a cold smirk at Zachary.
âWhere is she?â Zachary was not in the mood to talk gibberish. He just wanted to see Charlotte right away.
Zara smiled and gestured to Shirley. The latter opened the door.
Charlotte, who was dressed in white, lay quietly at the rear seat. She was unconscious.
Raina quickly brought her team over and carefully placed Charlotte on the hospital bed, then they pushed her to Zacharyâs side.
Zachary furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Charlotte. Her face was pale and looked very frail. She mustâve suffered a lot.
Zacharyâs heart ached upon seeing her condition, but he pretended to be collected. âExamine her,â he ordered.
âUnderstood.â Without further ado, Raina and the medical staff pushed Charlotte into the hospital.
Ben shot a glance and several bodyguards immediately followed them.
âItâs just a few lashes. Youâre overreacting,â Zara mocked.
âYouâd better not play tricks with me.â Zachary glared at her.
Zara raised her eyebrows. âIâm your aunt. You shouldnât talk to me like that just because of a woman.
Are you trying to play âRomeoâ, like your dad?â
âItâs none of your business.â Zachary frowned.
Zara simply shrugged. âOkay. Can I see your grandpa now?â
Instead of replying, Zachary just turned around and walked into the hospital.
Zara followed after him. Her bodyguards were about to follow but Ben stopped them from entering the building.
âIâm sorry, Ms. Nacht. You can only bring a bodyguard with you,â Ben said respectfully.
âHow dare you defy me!â
Zara gave him a deathly stare. After a few seconds, she took a deep breath and made a gesture with her hand.
The others backed down and only Shirley followed her.
âDonât provoke Grandpa. Watch what you say,â Zachary reminded Zara.
The latter found him ridiculous. âHeâs my father, of course I wonât harm him,â she sneered.
âWho knows? Youâve never been a good daughter to him,â Zachary retorted.
âThat was because he was so biased. He left all his legacy to your father. After your father died, he left it to you. I poured my heart and soul into the Nacht family but I got nothing in return, of course Iâm pissed.â
âYouâve got a lot. Be content with that,â Zachary replied.
He didnât say anything else after that. Actually, he didnât agree with Henryâs act of bias.
Indeed, Henry left the majority of the assets to Zachary as the latter was the family heir. However, Zara had got a lot too.
Otherwise, she wouldnât be able to develop her company on such a large scale.q
