Chapter 875
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Hearing those words got Taylorâs expression to take a sharp turn. He commented, âI thought you are sincere and are here to solve this issue today.â
âWhat issue do I need to solve? I donât owe your family anything, do I?â challenged Zachary with his brows raised.
âZachary Nacht, that is too much!â growled Taylor, who was completely infuriated.
He scolded harshly, âThe Nacht family is the one who asked for Sharonâs hand in marriage, but you changed your mind at the last minute for the sake of some other woman! That humiliated my family and traumatized Sharon.
âThen, to cover up your lies, you had Cynthia pretend to be Charlotte and acted like your wife. She had been serving Henry like she was a maid and had been taking care of your children all this time.
âHow could that effort count for nothing? Also, you couldâve just told her that you donât like her. Why did you have to put on a show and ask her to help trick your grandpa?
âYou are so heartless. You did all that just so that you can keep Henry at bay while you court Charlotte. Is that it?
âYou treated both my daughters as pawns and ruined their reputation and happiness!
âAlso, why do you think the Lindberg family is coming after us? Itâs all because Charlotte is jealous of Sharon, and that means that you are the root of all these problems! How can you still sit here and say that you donât owe us anything?â
âHuh, so from your perspective, I do owe your family a lot,â scoffed Zachary as he nodded.
âBut let me ask you something. Did I have anything to do with the engagement to Sharon? Arenât you and my grandpa the ones who schemed behind my back this entire time?
âIâve never agreed to it, and you know that I am not in love with her. Yet, you let your daughter come after me. At the end of the day, arenât you just trying to ride on the Nacht family?â
âYouâ¦â
Zachary raised his hand and continued, âLet me finish. Iâll admit that I was wrong. It doesnât matter if I was willing or not. At the end of the day, I didnât fight hard enough to refuse you. Still, I paid your family thirty billion for canceling that engagement. That is a sizeable sum.
âAs for Cynthia, I do owe her, and Iâve promised that I will repay her when the opportunity presents itself in the future. That is why Iâve asked the company to redirect some funds to help Synder Group outâ¦â
âReally? When?â blurted Taylor, who was instantly excited. He hadnât even finished speaking before his phone rang.
He picked it up immediately and heard the report of how Synder Groupâs share prices were rising again. That prompted him to hang up quickly and turn to Zachary to thank him. âThank you, Zachary.â
âThis is the last time I will help you. Take it as repayment for Cynthiaâs help,â replied Zachary as he stood up to leave.
âZachary, wait,â said Taylor to stop the guy, âI know that there is a lot of misunderstanding between you and me now, but Cynthia really does love you. She is the best person for you, so please think about it.â
âI canât control my heart and I am not in love with her,â replied Zachary calmly before he added, âSheâs an amazing person, and I am sure sheâll find someone right for her.â
After saying his piece, Zachary walked ahead to leave.
He was taken aback when he opened the door.
Cynthia was standing behind the door and was staring at him with teary eyes.
It was obvious that she heard everything he said earlier.
âIâm sorry,â murmured Zachary before he circled around to leave.
âSlow down! Youâre hurting me, you stupid mutt. Are you trying to kill me?â growled someone angrily from outside.
Taylor heard that, so he hurried over and asked, âWhy are you back?â
âSomeone is trying to kill me, so itâs not safe for me to stay in the hospitalâ¦â said Sharon. She paused suddenly because she saw Zachary there, and that stunned her. She asked, âZachary, what brought you here?â
Zachary glared over without saying a word. He left right away.
âDaddy, why is Zachary here? Heâs not caving in because heâs under the mediaâs pressure, is he? Donât tell me heâs going to marry that mute,â demanded Sharon in an agitated state.
