Chapter 812
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
The couple was shocked about Oliviaâs arrival. Zachary frowned. Oliviaâs her best friend and knows a lot about us. Charlotteâs going to take it the wrong way if she blabs about anything from the past.
âI need to use the restroom.â Zachary went to the restroom in the room and texted Ben.
Charlotte straightened her clothes and went to see what was happening. âWhatâs going on?â
âShe says sheâs your friend, Ms. Lindberg.â
âCharlotte!â Olivia cried tears of joy at the sight of Charlotte. âIt really is you! Iâm not dreaming, am I?â
Charlotte fell into a trance the moment she saw Olivia. She thought Olivia looked and felt familiar, but she couldnât remember who Olivia was.
âDid you forget about me, Charlotte?â Olivia held her hands and cried. âWhere have you and Mrs. Berry been these couple of years? I was searching all over for you guys.â
âMrs. Berry?â Charlotte froze. âYou know who Mrs. Berry is?â
âWhat? Why wouldnât I? What happened to you, Charlotte?â Olivia was agitated. âDonât you recognize me? Iâm your best friend, Olivia. My mother was your familyâs servant, and your father sponsored my studies. The Windt family has helped us a ton.â
âYou even know about the Windts?â Charlotte was sure the lady before her was indeed her best friend.
âWhy wouldnât I?â Olivia looked at her in disbelief. âYour fatherâs Richard Windt, and he used to be the richest man in H City until someone plotted his death. You told me that, remember?â
âMy father was killed?â Charlotteâs eyes widened in shock. Shards of memory popped up in her head, trying to drill their way back into her mind. She clutched her head in pain, her face turning pale.
âWhatâs wrong, Charlotte? Are you sick?â Olivia panicked and helped her up.
âWhat else do you know?â Charlotte grabbed her hand.
âI-I know youâre married, and your husband isââ The door swung open before she could finish, and Zachary came out, still wearing his mask and emanating an icy cold aura. The moment Oliviaâs eyes fell upon him, she froze, her gaze filled with terror.
âWhatâs wrong?â Zachary reached out and pulled Charlotte into his embrace. Charlotte leaned against him without any resistance.
Olivia staggered backward in horror. She couldnât understand why Charlotte had forgotten about her, and why she went back to the devilâs arms.
âOlivia!â Just then, Peter came up and dragged her away. âSo this is where you ran off to! Come with me right now! Kristi is looking for you everywhere!â He bowed to Zachary and Charlotte. âWeâre very sorry for bothering you, Mr. Nacht, Ms. Lindberg.â
âWhat?â Olivia gripped Peter in confusion. âWhat did you call Charlotte, Peter?â
âThatâs not Charlotte, Olivia. Thatâs Ms. Lindberg, the boss of Lindberg Corporation,â he explained.
âThatâs the company that can rival Nacht Group, the richest family in Erihal.â
âWhat are you talking about? Thatâs Charlotte right there!â
âAlright, enough. You got the wrong person. Kristiâs such a loudmouth. I told her to keep it a secret, but I see she told you anyway. And she even brought you back. Godâ¦â Peter dragged Olivia away.
Standing in a dark corner, Ben was observing him. He went to ask Peter to take Olivia away the moment Zachary texted him. I wonder if he got there in time. I hope Olivia didnât say anything unnecessary to Charlotte.
