Chapter 733
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âIs it gone?â Spencer rushed out to check.
âItâs gone, Mr. Spencer,â reported Bruce.
âMr. Nacht is furious, so you better lay low,â suggested Spencer before he turned to enter the house.
âWell, Iâm done for.â
Ben knew that although Spencer had not explicitly mentioned it, Henry could still tell. His subordinates had failed to prevent the eagle from flying in because Spencer had blocked them on multiple times.
Thus, Henry was definitely going to unleash his wrath on Spencer.
âYouâll just have to bear a bit of caning,â comforted Bruce as he patted his shoulder. âMr. Nacht is old enough to not have the strength to draw blood.â
âTake the child to the room,â Zachary said as he made a gesture.
Mrs. Rawlston and a few maids rushed to bring the three kids to the room.
Ellie was not crying anymore. Rather, her entire body was ice cold, and her face was devoid of color.
âDonât be afraid. Iâm here. Everything is going to be fine.â Zachary hugged her and gently soothed her.
âBe a good girl and go rest in your room. Iâll join you soon.â
âOkay.â Ellieâs small face was still streaked with tears, but she nodded bravely.
Zachary shook his head and then looked at Robbie. His heart ached as he uttered, âAre you okay?â
Robbie seemed out of sorts as he shook his head silently.
âThat eagle was so scary,â whimpered Jamie who was clutching a shivering Fifi. âWe were already scared when we heard noises in the car. I canât believe it flew into the house today.â
Ellie whimpered, and she was on the verge of tears again.
âDonât be scared, Ellie. I wonât talk about it.â Jamie hurriedly comforted her.
âDaddy, who does the eagle belong to?â Robbie asked with a frown.
âIâll explain it to you later. Go to your room for now.â Zachary said as he stroked Robbieâs head.
âMrs. Rawlston!â Henry shot her a look.
Mrs. Rawlston brought several maids with her as they coaxed the three children upstairs.
âWhen will Raina arrive?â Henry asked Spencer.
âI called her, and she said that sheâs bringing the child psychologist with her. They should be here soon,â replied Spencer respectfully.
âFine.â Henry nodded and turned his attention to Ben. At once, he called out angrily, âKneel!â
Ben was petrified, and he hastily dropped to his knees.
Following that, Marino and the eight bodyguards knelt in two neat rows.
âYou too,â barked Henry as he glared at Bruce.
âMe?â Bruce was completely taken aback. âMr. Nacht, I didnâtâ¦â
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Spencer shaking his head and shooting him a look.
He immediately snapped his jaw shut and fell to his knees as well with a clean thud.
Likewise, his eight subordinates followed suit.
Henryâs sharp gaze scanned the group. After a while, he turned to stare at Zachary and said, âTell me the truth now. Whatâs going on?â
Zachary frowned, and he lowered his gaze. He was trying hard to temper his emotions.
Previously, he hid the matter to avoid a confrontation with the Lindberg family. He did not want Henry to know Charlotteâs identity.
However, Charlotte had charged into the house and caused such a commotion. Hence, Henry could no longer ignore the matter.
Henry had been in the business industry for some time and had learned to read people well. When he first saw that silver Rolls-Royce, he had suspected that they were from Lindberg Corporation. Later, he had sent someone to look into the matter, but Zachary had hidden everything.
He had long suspected that there was more to the story than what met the eye.
After Charlotteâs incident, Henry had stopped micro-managing Zachary. He kept one eye closed on most matters. However, he did not expect that the Lindberg Corporation would use the opportunity to provoke them.
Besides, Zacharyâs people did not handle the situation promptly, and instead, they allowed it to become a mess.
There must be something wrong.
