Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1391
Nancy hemmed and hawed before asking, “I heard that Sir Louis has been tracking Ms. Lindberg, so I’m just wondering if she’s safe.”
Zachary’s gaze instantly darkened.
He, too, had had his suspicions from early on. Danrique had taken all the necessary precautions to ensure that Charlotte wouldn’t pose a threat to those in Erihal. And given that Charlotte never had many enemies to begin with, who else would want to go after her?
As it turned out, that person was none other than Louis.
“I think he went crazy and hired a few men to track down Ms. Lindberg’s whereabouts. I don’t know what he’s up to, though…”
After a pause, Nancy added, “Sir Robert has been trying to collaborate with me, so I’ve had people monitoring their family activities to make sure they’re above-board. That’s how I came to know so much about the Laurent family.”
“I understand,” Zachary answered with a somber nod. “Thank you for informing me.”
“If anything should happen to Ms. Lindberg, you know who and what to investigate first,” Nancy whispered. “I know this has nothing to do with me, but I also know how much you care about her. I’m sorry if I’ve overstepped the line.”
“No, not at all. Thank you,” Zachary said sincerely.
“All right then, I shan’t disturb you any longer. Rest well, and I hope to see you at my banquet in a few days!”
Zachary nodded politely and ordered Raina to see Nancy out.
As luck would have it, Nancy bumped into Spencer downstairs and briefly chatted with him.
Despite the brief meeting, she had certainly made an impression on Spencer, who sighed when she left. “Ms. Gold is such an exemplary woman. Not only is she from a prominent family, but she also carries herself with poise and sophistication. She and Mr. Zachary would be the perfect match.”
“That’s true, but Mr. Nacht only has eyes for Ms. Lindberg,” Raina replied softly. “Mr. Spencer, when have you started to worry about such matters like Mr. Henry?”
“I’m only thinking,” Spencer answered with yet another sigh. “I do remember Mr. Henry saying that we should never interfere with affairs of the heart.”
“Exactly. We should let Mr. Nacht decide for himself.”
Spencer nodded his head, but his mind continued to race. “I’m only just beginning to understand what Mr. Henry must have felt. Now that I’m looking at it from a different perspective, it’s hard not to be anxious and worried…”
Raina’s lips curled into a smile as she patted Spencer’s shoulders. “Of course, that’s perfectly understandable. Well, I’m going up to accompany Mr. Nacht. Enjoy your reading.”
When Raina returned to the study room, she found Zachary sitting on the sofa and staring blankly at his phone.
“Mr. Nacht, do you want to take a stroll in the garden?” Raina gently asked while she handed him a glass of water.
However, Zachary said nothing, his eyes still trained on his phone.
Raina decided not to disturb him and merely stood quietly at the side. She knew, better than anyone else, that Zachary was waiting for Ben’s call.
Meanwhile, Ben was storming a villa in a small town with a group of men.
After several days of investigation, he learned that Charlotte and Lupine were taken away by a group of foreigners and imprisoned in the villa.
Having ordered Cain and Kyle to surround the villa, Ben was ready to charge in with the other men when a video call from Zachary came in.
Thankfully, his phone was already on mute as Ben hastily answered it. “Mr. Nacht—”
“Livestream it. I want to see what’s going on,” Zachary demanded.
Even though the request had stunned him, Ben quickly nodded. “Understood!”
With that, Ben held onto his phone and crept stealthily into the villa. To his surprise, the place was quiet, and the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.
Ben then carefully pushed the kitchen window open and looked in, only to see Charlotte cooking in a sexy strap dress.
The next second, a topless Louis walked in with just a towel around his waist. He hugged Charlotte from behind and kissed her neck passionately. “Thank you for making dinner, my dear wife. I love you so much…”
With Ben’s phone capturing every scene, Zachary, unfortunately, saw and heard them all too clearly.
