Chapter 598
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âYou flatter me, Mr. Lindberg.â Zachary stared at the manâs side profile and with a placid smile on his face. âH City can only accommodate one king. You should find yourself another territory.â
âMy apologies, but Iâve taken an liking to this particular city.â The manâs low and hoarse voice carried a wintry undertone. âUntil then.â
Thereafter, the Maybach glided away.
Charlotte watched the car leave and couldnât help but remark, âThat man is so mysterious. I mean, he didnât show his face the whole time.â
âThatâs just how the Lindbergs are. Bunch of lunatics.â Zacharyâs tone became unpleasant mentioning the Lindberg family.
âOh.â Deciding to end this topic, Charlotte exclaimed, âHelena and Hector both had it coming. I just feel sad for the boyâ¦â
âHis appearance was out of my expectation.â
Ever since Zachary became a father, he started having a soft spot for children. He never wanted Timothy to see the video. At first, he thought that Hector would have excluded his son from his wedding by all means after committing such a crime against his first wife to marry another woman.
Unexpectedly, Timothy had appeared at the wedding.
It was hard to imagine a child already possessing murderous intent at such a young age.
Adults committed crimes, but their children suffered the consequences.
It was indeed a lamentable reality.
âI hope heâs okay.â Charlotteâs brows furrowed with worry lining her features. âNo matter what Timothy has done, Hector would probably still protect his son, right? But Helena is such a ruthless person. I donât even know if Hector can keep Timothy safe.â
âDonât worry. The Browns will be in deep trouble soon. When that time comes, they wouldnât have the time or energy to bother about the boy.â Zachary patted her hand in consolation. âIâll send you home.â
âYeah.â Charlotte nodded, not allowing herself to dwell on the matter any longer.
When Zachary and Charlotte arrived home, Mrs. Berry had already packed their suitcases and was waiting on the first floor.
Charlotte went back to her house to change into more comfortable clothes. She took her bag and was about to head downstairs, but Zachary hugged her tightly to his chest and commanded domineeringly, âCall me every day to update your status and come back as soon as possible, preferably right after youâve settled your stuff!â
âGot it.â Charlotte rose on her tippy toes to kiss him softly. âIâll leave the kids to you. Take good care of them and yourself too.â
âGot it.â Zachary reached out to pinch her nose lovingly. âIâll wait for you to come back.â
âMm.â Both of them embraced for a while longer before reluctantly going downstairs.
The bodyguards waiting at the door helped with the suitcases. Then, they sent Charlotte and Mrs.
Berry to Happy Avenue.
Before pulling away, Charlotte rolled down the window and waved goodbye to Zachary.
As Zachary watched the car leave, he instructed Bruce, âProtect them in the shadows.â
âUnderstood.â Bruce immediately followed after them.
âMiss, I didnât bring much. We have one small suitcase each, but we can buy one later if you find that you need more space.â Mrs. Berry chatted with Charlotte in the car. âI made a hundred hot cross bunnies earlier and informed Mrs. Rawlston to heat them up for the triplets every morning.â
âAww, thatâs so thoughtful of you.â Charlotte smiled and patted her hand before urging the driver, âCould you speed up a little?â
âYes, Ms. Windt.â
Soon, the car arrived at Happy Avenue. Charlotte instructed the bodyguards to leave first, then dragged her suitcase upstairs with Mrs. Berry to retrieve some relevant documents.â
After that, she cast a vigilant glance at the front gates of the residential estate. Once she was certain they werenât being followed, she hailed a taxi and headed straight for the train station.
Zachary was on his way to the company when he received a message from Bruce.Bruce:
Ms. Windt didnât go to the cemetery. She went directly to the train station. Maybe sheâs taking the train back to the countryside?
âContinue tailing her and keep her safe.â
âYes, sir.â
An hour later, Charlotte and Mrs. Berry smoothly boarded the train heading toward Phoenix City.
Meanwhile, Zachary received an update about it on his phone.
He was very puzzled. Isnât she going back to the countryside? Mrs. Berryâs hometown is in F Town, so why are they going to Phoenix City? What on earth is she up to?
It seems like she really is hiding something from meâ¦
