Chapter 951
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âYouâ¦â Infuriated, Ben and the others followed along quickly.
He refused to be preempted by the Lindberg family, and ended up being labeled as an incompetent fellow, especially in his own territory.
Right then, Zachary who had received the news came down from upstairs.
âMr. Nacht,â Bruce reported, âBen has gone after her.â
âDonât let her get away,â Zachary instructed, furrowing his brows.
âRest assured that weâve deployed a lot of men to handle this.â
As Bruce was speaking, the screeching sound of an eagle was heard from upstairs. Shortly after, it zoomed past above their heads like an arrow. Swoosh.
Automatically, Bruce bent down to avoid the eaglesâ widespread wings.
Subsequently, a dark shadow bolted across the room, and a gust of wind blew past them.
âAhh!â Several maids and nurses screamed in trepidation. Among them, two had collapsed on the floor.
Meanwhile, in the dining room, Charlotte maintained her composure and continued having her meal without batting an eyelid.
Zachary approached her and explained, âAbout Sharonâ¦â
âI know,â Charlotte cut him off while shooting him a death stare. âThe night I was fighting Zara, you accompanied Sharon to the suburbs and protected her in all aspects. Thereafter, you even moved her home to be right under your nose because youâre so concerned about her safety. Well done, Zachary!â
âNo, youâve misunderstood.â Zachary tried to justify himself, âI just wanted to collect more evidence and put them behind barsâ¦â
âWhat other proof do you need?â Charlotte found his reason blatantly ridiculous. âWith the power bestowed upon the Nachts, I seriously doubt you canât uncover the truth within two years.â
âIâve long discovered the truth, but we need solid evidence to bring them to justice.â Frowning, Zachary continued, âThis isnât Erihal. We canât take things into our own hands.â
âIs that so?â Charlotte arched her brow. âZara poisoned me, abducted Robbie, and even instructed Sharon to assassinate Mrs. Berry. Will the Nachts be principled enough to carry out whatâs right and put her to jail?â
âYes,â Zachary stated firmly without any hesitation.
âThatâs what you said verbally, but I donât see any action being taken.â Charlotte pushed further. âItâs been two years. Isnât that more than enough time to source for the much needed evidence?â
âThatâs becauseâ¦â Initially, Zachary wanted to reveal how Danrique swept the proof under the carpet. However, he changed his mind, thinking that it would only enrage Charlotte more. âTo cut the long story short, Iâll give you an explanation on this.â
âIf you truly wanted to come clean with me, you wouldnât have delayed it till now. More essentially, you wouldnât have protected Sharon!â Charlotte cast a suspicious look on him. âYou deliberately covered up for her. There must be more to it than meets the eye, right?â
âOf course not,â Zachary denied it right away. âIâm just thinkingâ¦â
âMr. Nacht is back!â someone announced loudly. Before Zachary could finish his sentence, he heard the car engine.
Stunned, he wondered why Henry was home at that time. His health is so poor, and he has barely recovered. Why was he discharged out of a sudden? Could it be thatâ¦
Without further ado, Zachary strode to the door with a dimmed expression.
âWhy is Mr. Nacht home at this hour?â The panic-stricken Mrs. Rawlston advised Charlotte, âMs. Windt, whatever Mr. Nacht says to you, please donât take it to heart.â
Then, she instructed the maid, âJade, go wake Robbie and Jamie up. Tell them that their great-grandpa is here.â
âOkay!â Jade did as per requested.
âDonât worry. With Mr. Robinson around, Mr. Nacht wonât do anything to you.â Worried sick, Mrs. Rawlston added, âMs. Windt, shall I go with you to welcome Mr. Nacht?â
Charlotte put down the utensils and wiped her lips with the napkin. Then, she glanced at the busy maids carrying out their chores. Placidly, she posted a question, âMr. Nacht has never been fond of me, right?â
âUmâ¦â Mrs. Rawlston did not know how to respond to that although she knew exactly what happened behind the scenes.
On their wedding day, Mr. Nacht forced Zachary to keep the babies, but kick the mother of the children out of the house. Therefore, Mr. Nachtâs men forcibly sent Charlotte and Mrs. Berry away⦠Thatâs an indisputable fact.
