Chapter 928
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âThat heartless woman⦠She attended an opening ceremony while her own daughterâs life was at stake?â Zachary shouted angrily through clenched teeth.
Ben froze as he wasnât expecting him to get so furious.
Taylor happened to overhear the conversation as he came into the ward and defended Charlotte. âMaybe she doesnât know about Ellieâs conditionâ¦â
âI told her about it myself, so thereâs no way she wouldnât know!â Zachary had rage written all over his face.
âUm⦠Maybe she has her reasonsâ¦â Taylor said with a troubled expression.
âYeah! The South Sea project cost Lindberg Corporation hundreds of billions, and a single problem could easily affect the companyâs entire operation! Itâs perfectly understandable for Ms. Lindberg to take care of it. Maybe sheâll come and see Ellie after sheâs done with the ceremony!â Cynthia signed.
âYeah, thatâs right! Thereâs no way she wouldnât care about her own daughter! Wait⦠Could it be that she hasnât regained her memories? Or perhaps, the motherly side of her has yet to awaken?â Taylor added.
âI donât think thatâs the case⦠I remember her being very gentle with her kids at Seacrest Restaurant, so itâs obvious that she loves them dearly. Sheâs probably just in a difficult position due to the feud between the Nachts and the Lindbergs.â Cynthia signed.
âAll right, thatâs enough. No need to defend that womanâ¦â The look on Zacharyâs face turned gloomy as he continued, âShe did nothing when Danrique poisoned Robbie today. Had I not stopped him in time, Robbie wouldâve suffered the same fate as Ellie.â
âI canât believe Danrique would be so cruel as to poison a child! Do you think heâs the one who poisoned Ellie too?â
Taylor exclaimed angrily.
âWho else could it be?â Zachary asked.
âItâs definitely him then! Karma will come for him sooner or later!â Taylor said.
âYeah!â Cynthia signed in agreement.
Zachary narrowed his eyes and growled through clenched teeth, âI wonât let him get away with this! Anyone who dares poison my children shall die a horrible death!â
A look of surprise flashed in Cynthiaâs eyes when she heard that, but she was quick to regain her composure and signed, âDonât do anything rash, Zachary! Danrique is no pushover, so you need to stay calmâ¦â
âThatâs right. You need to strategize and be smart about it!â Taylor advised.
Zachary turned to look at Ben and asked, âWell? What happened after that? Did they launch the South Sea project?â
âNo, a prosecutor showed up at the last second with an official document and declared that the project had to be halted. He said something about it being incredibly detrimental to the marine life in the area,â Ben replied.
Taylor was delighted. âReally? The project has been halted?â
Ben nodded. âYes. I believe Mr. Lindberg and Ms. Lindberg are currently stressing themselves out trying to figure out a solution.â
âWith an official document ordering for a halt in front of the press, thereâs no way they can save the project now!
Danrique may be cruel and proficient at things like poisoning people, but heâs no match for me when it comes to business strategies!â Zachary said with a sarcastic sneer.
Taylor looked happier than everyone around him. âOf course! I told you, youâre a one-of-a-kind genius when it comes to business affairs! No one could possibly best you in this field!â
âWe mustnât let our guard down, though. Mr. Lindberg has tons of nasty tricks up his sleeve, so god knows what heâll do next. You must be careful, Zachary.â Cynthia signed.
Zachary held her hand and said, âYeah, I know. Thank you for helping Ellie out and being such a considerate person.â
Cynthia found herself blushing when she felt the warmth of his hand on hers.
