Ch. 1591..1600

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1591

When Charlotte heard that, she was stunned. Never had she expected Chris to think that way.

He wanted to divorce her using Zachary’s name before making her his secret lover.

Wait a moment…

Charlotte quickly caught the main point. “What are you trying to solve?”

“That’s none of your business.” Chris changed the topic. “Anyway, as long as you agree to be my lover, I’ll save your son and let both of you return to the Nacht residence.”

“You have a great plan.” Charlotte smirked mockingly. “Looks like you’re not dumb at all. In fact, you’re quite smart.”

“What do you mean?” Chris raised his eyebrows.

“You’ve already discovered that Jesse is using you. He has already planted his spies in Nacht Group. After forcing you to divorce me, his next step will be to make you marry his daughter and then kill you. In the end, he’ll acquire the Nacht Group’s assets and change its name to the Gold Group…”

Staring straight at Chris, Charlotte explained her hypothesis.

“That’s what you’re planning to do—to escape Jesse’s clutches and stop being his puppet. Also, you know that my brother is going to rise to power again. Since you don’t want to offend him, you agree to save my sons and help us return to the Nacht residence. In doing so, you’re killing two birds with one stone. This is a good plan for you.”

“You’re smart.” Chris did not hide it from her. “You’re right about the first part. However, for the second part, you’re just overthinking. The reason why I returned is not to steal the Nacht Group’s assets but to take revenge. I’ve always viewed these materialistic conflicts with contempt. Never have I been afraid of offending anyone. Also, once I gain control of the Nacht Group’s assets, why would I still fear Danrique? I’m only helping you because I genuinely like you…”

As he spoke, Chris pinched Charlotte’s chin and leaned toward her flirtatiously. “I want you…”

His sexy lips brushed against her cheeks gently. He moved closer to her ears, wishing to kiss her.

Charlotte shoved him away forcefully and took a step back, utterly disgusted. “You’re disgusting, Chris!”

“Disgusting?” Chris could not comprehend. “I have the same face, voice, and demeanor as him! Why do you find me disgusting? Zachary was not nice to you in the past. He lied to you, abused you, betrayed you, and even abandoned you during the wedding. Which of his actions is not more disgusting than mine?”

“I don’t want to waste any time discussing such nonsense with you.” Charlotte changed the subject. “Tell me where my sons are. As long as you help me save them, everything’s up for negotiation.”

She wanted to convince him to rescue her sons first.

“If you want me to help, shouldn’t you show some sincerity?” Chris decided not to waste any more words with her. Leaning against the sofa, he stared at her with a cold smirk. “It doesn’t make sense if you want something without making any sacrifices.”

“What do you want?” Charlotte frowned.

“You, of course,” Chris teased. “As long as you sign this and spend a night with me, I’ll save your sons.”

“You’re out of your mind!” Charlotte pushed him away furiously and turned around to leave.

“Don’t you want to save your sons?” drawled Chris. “Looks like you aren’t a qualified mother. You don’t even care about your own sons.”

Charlotte came to a swift halt. Upon remembering the video of Robbie and Jamie being bullied, her heart ached terribly.

She glanced at her phone. Gordon had not called yet, which meant they had not found any clues.

Now that her children were in the opponents’ hands, their lives were constantly in danger. If she did not settle the divorce by tomorrow morning, the children would be harmed.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1592

Those thoughts prevented Charlotte from taking another step away. She was extremely resistant to betraying Zachary and being together with another man.

“I know that you can’t let go of the past, but it’s fine. There’s no need to rush…” Chris strode over, sat Charlotte on the sofa, and poured a glass of wine for her. “Have some wine and calm yourself down.”

Charlotte took the glass but did not drink anything. Instead, she raised her head and asked, “Have you asked Jesse why there are toxins in your body?”

“Stop pretending.” Chris chuckled in disdain. “That’s just a plan devised by you and those two old men. I’ve undergone a blood check at two hospitals, but the results revealed nothing extraordinary.”

“Now that even the Nacht family is under Jesse’s control, do you think that it’s difficult to control a few hospitals?” rebuked Charlotte mockingly. “Chris, you did not inherit your mother’s intelligence after all. With such a simple mind, it’s no wonder that you’re treated as a pawn.”

When Chris heard that, he frowned. A tinge of unease flashed across his eyes.

This poisoning incident was quite suspicious. When he was undergoing a test at Divine Corporation, Charlotte did not have any chance to interact with Johann and Spencer alone. It was impossible for them to meddle with the test report and the blood sample.

If they wanted to do something, they could have just tampered with the DNA.

That would secure Charlotte’s position.

Hence, after the incident, Chris asked Jesse about the poisoning. However, Jesse insisted righteously that he did not poison Chris. In fact, he claimed that it was part of a plan devised by Charlotte and the two old men.

To confirm the results, Chris went for a check-up that day with Jesse accompanying him. In the end, the report revealed that he was not poisoned at all. Still worried, he secretly went to do another test. Even then, there seemed to be no problem with him.

That was what made him feel relieved.

Yet, after hearing what Charlotte said, Chris started to feel uneasy again.

“Can’t you tell whether or not you’re poisoned?” asked Charlotte. “Have you been feeling uncomfortable recently? You probably have a reaction, right?”

Chris thought about it carefully.

I guess that it’s true that I’m feeling… slightly uncomfortable. I’ve been having headaches, and sometimes my heart would ache. In fact, there were times when my entire body would be in pain. I never had these problems in the past. Wait a moment…

Chris quickly regained his composure and returned to the main point. “No, this isn’t the time to talk about that. I’ll confirm whether or not I’m poisoned on my own. Do you want to save your children?”

“Without a doubt. I can give you anything you want…” Charlotte threw the question back to him. “But how would I know that you won’t go back on your word?”

“Are you in a position to negotiate with me right now?” Chris glanced at his watch. “The deadline the kidnappers gave you is tomorrow noon, right? If you still haven’t finished the paperwork for the divorce, they’ll chop off your sons’ fingers!”

“How dare you?” Charlotte became agitated immediately. She gripped Chris’ collars tightly and threatened, “If you dare to touch my sons, I’ll kill you!”

“Let’s be clear with this. I’m not the one harming your sons—it’s that person!” Chris pulled her hands away calmly. “I’ve always been against the idea of kidnapping kids. However, there are some things that I cannot control.”

“You have a part to play in everything bad that has happened. Don’t try to disassociate yourself from it.” Charlotte glared at him resentfully. “You’ll face retribution for the evils you’ve done, Chris…”

“I’ve never believed in karma.” Chris laughed mockingly. “If there is, Henry wouldn’t have lived to ninety-eight years old, nor would Zachary have risen to his current position. Do you think that they’re innocent? Without blood being shed and people’s lives being sacrificed, do you think they could’ve enjoyed their current glory?”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1593

“That’s enough.” Charlotte could not be bothered to continue arguing with him. She snapped in disgust, “Anyway, if anything happens to my sons, I’ll not let you off the hook.”

“You don’t have to threaten me. I’m not scared.” Chris smirked coldly. “I know that you’ve got Danrique supporting you, but that doesn’t scare me at all. I’m different from Zachary. He’s an ambitious man, but I only wish for enjoyment in life. I only want what I desire, including you!”

He pressed his palm against the back of Charlotte’s head and pushed her closer to him.

“Charlotte, I know what you’re thinking. You’re trying to convince me to save your sons, but no matter what you say, it’s useless. It’s better if you do something more practical. As long as you become my woman, your worries will be mine. I’ll definitely help you save your sons…”

With that, he released her and smirked. “I won’t force you. You can choose yourself.”

As he sipped on the wine elegantly, he added, “If you still haven’t agreed before I finish this bottle of wine, then let’s forget it.”

Charlotte frowned, feeling extremely conflicted.

Naturally, she wanted to save her sons. She was willing to sacrifice her life for their sake.

However, she could not bring herself to sleep with another man.

“If you aren’t brave enough, just drink more. You’ll be able to let loose once you’re tipsy,” persuaded Chris.

Steeling herself, Charlotte drank the entire glass of wine in a single gulp.

“That’s right.” Chris poured another glass of wine for her. “Go on. I know that you’ve been stressed lately, so you can relax with some wine…”

After drinking a few more glasses, she was starting to feel drunk.

Looking at her flushed cheeks and dazed gaze, Chris could not help but feel aroused.

He moved closer to her, wishing to kiss her. However, Charlotte suddenly retched and almost puked on him.

Chris dodged instinctively, not noticing that Charlotte had just slipped a white pill into his cup.

The pill dissolved upon touching the wine, soon disappearing from sight.

Covering her hand over her mouth, Charlotte dashed to the toilet and started vomiting.

As Chris stared at her back, he smirked mockingly. He lifted his glass and drank the wine in a single gulp.

Probably because he was going to get his hands on his prey soon, the wine was extremely delicious. When he placed the glass down, he gestured to the bodyguards at the door.

The two bodyguards quickly left and closed the door behind them.

Charlotte quickly swallowed the pill from Hayley. After splashing her face with cold water, she called Peter.

On her way there, she had already guessed Chris’ intentions. Hence, she called Peter.

Luckily, he was still working as the manager at Sultry Night. He was on his night shift that day, so he could help her out.

“How’s it going, Ms. Lindberg?”

Afraid that others outside would overhear her, Charlotte kept quiet and cleared her throat instead. Peter immediately understood.

“Got it. I’ll make the arrangements right away.”

After hanging up, Charlotte cleared her call records before staggering out in a daze.

“Are you all right?” Chris rushed over to her thoughtfully and passed her a bottle of water. “Drink some water and take a breather.”

“Thank you…”

Charlotte drank some water before slumping against the sofa weakly.

Chris snuck a glance at her slightly open collar. Seeing how beautiful and alluring she was, he could not help but inch closer and stroke her face gently.

He coaxed her, “Zachary’s doomed. Even if you manage to find him, he’ll definitely be dead. It’s better if you snap back to reality and be together with me. Don’t worry. I don’t want any kids, so I’ll treat your kids like mine. As long as you stay with me, I’ll treat you well. We’ll be happy in the future…”

As he spoke, he tried to kiss Charlotte.

She did not push him away. Instead, she pressed her hand against his lips and whispered, “Turn off the lights.”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1594

“So you like stuff like this, huh?”

Smiling flirtatiously, Chris got up and turned off the lights.

The room was immediately engulfed in darkness. When he turned around, Charlotte was no longer on the sofa. He glanced around but could not catch a glimpse of her.

“Haha! Are you playing hide and seek with me?” Chris laughed playfully. “Baby, stop hiding. You’ll never escape me…”

With that, he searched for Charlotte in the private room excitedly.

She was hiding behind the wine cabinet and staring at Chris nervously. As too little time had passed, the effects of the medicine had not kicked in yet. Since Peter’s men had not arrived either, she had to delay for some time.

“Baby?” Chris was still searching for Charlotte in the room. In a flirtatious tone, he urged, “Come out now… Stop hiding.”

Although the private room was quite big, there was limited space. As there were barely any places that were big enough to hide behind, Chris quickly arrived at the wine cabinet.

Charlotte wanted to flee, but Chris grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall. Cupping her cheeks, he panted and asked, “Do you still want to run away? To where?”

“Let go of me!”

Charlotte struggled with all her might. She hated it when other men touched her.

“You’ll never run away from me.” Chris clutched her cheeks and forced her to face him. “Charlotte, you’re destined to be mine!”

As he spoke, he wanted to kiss her.

However, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the door. Someone was slamming the door, trying to break in.

Chris halted and yelled furiously, “Are you dead, Carlo?”

As his bodyguard did not reply, he had no choice but to release Charlotte and go over to take a look.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the windows. Charlotte turned around and saw Peter push a girl, who was wearing the same black dress, into the room. Meanwhile, he quickly gestured to her.

Charlotte immediately flipped out and hid behind the window.

At the same time, Chris opened the door and realized that there were a few drunkards kicking up a fuss outside. His two bodyguards were being occupied by them.

The two drunk girls were knocking on the door with their heels. When he came out, they even tried to fall into his arms.

“Get lost!” Chris shoved them away in disgust and yelled at his bodyguards, “Are both of you useless?”

“We understand, Mr. Nacht.”

Soon, the two bodyguards dealt with the drunkards and returned to guard the door.

“Keep a close lookout for me.” Chris glared at them coldly. “Don’t ruin my plans.”

“Understood.” They lowered their heads timidly.

As it was a special night, Chris could only bring his two most trusted subordinates instead of the other bodyguards. As a result, there was not enough manpower to even deal with such a minor setback.

Chris returned to the room and locked the door again.

He could feel himself getting restless. Blood was rushing right to his head, and he felt like his body was burning.

When he turned around and saw “Charlotte” trembling on the sofa, he could barely hold himself back. “I’m coming, Baby…”

He pounced at her like a starving wolf. Kissing her wildly, he vented his lust and yearning for her.

The girl pretended to be shy at the start but succumbed soon later.

Passionate sounds could be heard from the room.

After ensuring that the deed was done, Charlotte quickly left with Peter.

Upon arriving at an empty private room, Charlotte whispered, “How’s that girl? Is she reliable?”

“Don’t worry. She’s definitely reliable,” assured Peter confidently. “I helped her a lot, so she owes me a huge favor. I also gave her a huge sum of money, so she voluntarily accepted this task. Since I’ve explained to her the situation, she knows what to do.”

“That’s good.” Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief. “Keep a close eye on them. Don’t reveal any loopholes, or our efforts will be wasted.”

“I’ll keep guard later. I promise that I’ll do a good job.”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1595

To prevent anything bad from happening, Peter rushed back to monitor the situation.

Meanwhile, Charlotte waited in the private room, hoping that the fluke would succeed.

Although it was late, it was extremely lively in Sultry Night.

Charlotte counted down, waiting for Peter’s message.

Finally, at four in the morning, he sent a message: Okay!

Charlotte immediately returned to the original room. Peter, who was waiting at the window, signaled upon spotting her.

The girl climbed out of the room. With her hand on her waist, she complained, “He’s too strong… We did it five times! He’s so exhausted that he’s fast asleep now.”

“Shh… Go now!” urged Peter softly.

The girl snuck away hurriedly.

Charlotte flipped into the room through the window and gestured for Peter to leave quickly.

Although he was still worried, he did not want to hinder her plans. Hence, he closed the windows and left.

The private room was pitch-dark, while it was still very lively outside.

Chris was lying on the sofa on his side and snoring softly. He was obviously in a deep sleep.

His clothes were strewn all across the floor, and there was a pile of rubbish at the side. A strange smell filled the room, revealing how passionate the night had been.

The two bodyguards had been standing guard at the door for the entire night. Yawning tiredly, they complained, “It’s already quiet inside. They should be done already, right? Why don’t we take turns to sleep?”

Charlotte pulled open her collars and messed up her hair. After preparing herself, she pretended to barge out of the private room agitatedly.

“Um…” The two bodyguards were shocked. Briefly stunned, they quickly stopped her. “Mr. Nacht isn’t awake yet, so you can’t leave.”

“Get lost!” Charlotte tried to shove them away furiously.

“I’m sorry.” The bodyguards still blocked Charlotte’s way, refusing to let her leave.

While Charlotte was struggling against them, Chris was woken up in the room. In a daze, he could hear a commotion happening outside and tried to wake himself up.

At that moment, Lupine and Jade had just arrived. When they saw the two bodyguards blocking Charlotte’s way, they were furious. Rushing over, they started fighting with the bodyguards.

Charlotte was stunned. Why are there here?

“Are you all right, Ms. Lindberg?”

When Lupine and Jade noticed Charlotte’s disheveled clothes and messy hair, they were shocked.

“I…” Charlotte was about to speak when someone yelled from within the room, “Stop!”

The two bodyguards immediately froze. Taking the opportunity, Jade and Emma punched them again, sending them toppling onto the ground.

“How embarrassing!”

Chris did not hit Jade or Emma. Instead, he scolded his bodyguards, thinking that it was too embarrassing for them to be defeated by women.

The bodyguards scrambled to their feet. Although they felt indignant, they did not dare to say a word.

“Ms. Lindberg…”

Lupine saw that Chris was shirtless and only had a pair of pants on. When she noticed the mess in the room, her expression changed drastically, and a sense of foreboding rose within her.

“Why did you wake up so early, Baby?”

As Chris reminisced the passionate night earlier, his gaze turned lustful again. He stretched his hand out to caress Charlotte’s face.

She dodged him in disgust while shooting him a resentful glare.

“Don’t look at me like that!” Chris gazed at her gently. “Things are irreversible now. Just accept your fate!”

“What did you say?” Lupine widened her eyes in surprise as she stared at Chris in disbelief. “You…”

“You jerk!”

A furious yell sounded. Before anyone could react, Bruce charged over and punched Chris forcefully.

The latter staggered backward as blood started to drip from his nose.

“Mr. Nacht…” The other bodyguards quickly pulled Bruce back. “What are you doing, Bruce? Are you crazy? How dare you hit Mr. Nacht?”

“You b*stard! Take him down for me!” bellowed Chris through clenched jaws.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1596

The two bodyguards immediately tried to hold Bruce down, but he effortlessly repelled their attempts and beat them up.

Bruce was fuming with anger. After hearing that Chris wanted to meet Charlotte at Sultry Night, he immediately rushed to the place, knowing that Chris would try to coerce Charlotte by using the child as leverage.

However, he was taken aback when he saw the scene upon his arrival. Consumed by anger, he felt indebted to Zachary. Right then, all that he wanted to do was to strangle Chris to his death.

Charlotte was extremely nervous. Initially, she wanted to quietly settle the matter. But much to her dismay, Lupine and Bruce managed to find out before she could execute her plan.

The matter had since turned even more complicated.

Besides, she could not explain herself as it would only exacerbate the issue.

“Bruce, do you have a death wish? I’ll grant your wish!” Chris pulled out his gun and pointed it in Bruce’s direction.

At that moment, his nose was still bleeding. His eyes and face were bruised from the hit.

Bruce had humiliated him in front of everyone, especially Charlotte, and he could not let this slide.

“Kill me if you dare.” Bruce wasn’t terrified by Chris’ threat. “You ungrateful dog!”

Chris placed his finger on the trigger, ready to fire any moment.

“Stop.” Charlotte ran between them to stop the matter from escalating. “Please, let’s just move on, for my sake.”

“Ms. Lindberg, you don’t have to be afraid of him!” Bruce uttered agitatedly. “You don’t have to make compromises.”

“Enough.” Charlotte frowned before saying coldly, “As a bodyguard, you are way out of line. I’m your boss.”

Bruce was stunned as he never expected Charlotte to say such things.

“Leave.” Charlotte gestured. “Stop causing a scene here.”

“Get him out of here!” Chris impatiently ordered.

“Yes.” Two bodyguards immediately restrained Bruce and chased him out.

Chris checked his watch and said to Charlotte, “The bodyguard from the Gold family is arriving soon. Let’s have a chat first?”

“All right.” Charlotte shared the same thought.

“Ms. Lindberg…” Lupine quickly held onto her arm. She said anxiously, “No matter the reason, you must not sacrifice yourself.”

“Wait for me outside.” Charlotte pushed her away and entered the private room with Chris.

Lupine and Jade were enraged at the thought of Charlotte’s circumstances. Their anger turned into sorrow as tears started streaming down their cheeks.

After entering the private room, Charlotte took the initiative to shut the door and switch on the lights.

Chris picked up the shirt on the floor and wore it casually before Charlotte.

At that moment, Charlotte was trying to recollect her thoughts. Her initial plan was to settle the matter quietly, but Lupine and Bruce’s appearance had complicated the matter.

Nonetheless, their reaction made it look even more convincing.

After all, the reaction from Bruce and Lupine was genuine.

“We cannot keep this matter under wraps any longer.” Chris wore his pants. “Jesse, that sly fox, has been spying on us all this while. Soon enough, he will find out that I’m sleeping with you.”

“Are you thinking of going back on your word?” Charlotte’s eyebrows knitted together. “If that’s the case, I’ll bring you down with me.”

“I will definitely hold up my end of the bargain.” Chris turned around and looked at her, and his gaze was flirtatious and seductive. “I will fulfill my promise to you and find out where your son is. But whether he can be saved, that is on you.”

“Are you speaking the truth?” Charlotte was reluctant to believe him.

“Of course. Do you really think I like being controlled by that old sly fox?” Chris rolled his eyes at her. He then passed her the divorce papers. “I will help you save your son, but you must sign this document.”

Charlotte stared at the document, hesitant to oblige. Nonetheless, she knew very well that signing the document was mandatory, as everything was under the fox’s control…

Once she signed the document, she could go on the offensive and try to secure an opportunity for herself.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1597

Charlotte retrieved the document and put down her signature.

“That's right.” Chris curled his arms around her waist.

Just as he wanted to kiss her, she avoided his embrace. “Chris, I hope you honor your promise. I'll kill you if you don't.”

“Hehe...” Chris looked at her in a mischievous manner. “So long as you're mine, I will have no regrets in life!”

“You're disgusting!” Charlotte was exasperated.

“He and I have the same face, but why do you hate me so much? Which part of me is inferior to him?” Chris could not wrap his head around it.

Charlotte ignored him as she turned to leave.

“Hold on!” Chris called out to her.

Charlotte came to a swift halt, but her head remained looking to the front.

“In Yaleview,” Chris said in a low voice, “This is all I know. I will try to figure out the exact location.”

“Yaleview?” Charlotte convulsed. “He kidnapped my son to Yaleview? No wonder I could not find him in H City!”

“That's the biggest chip that he has. He will hold on to it no matter what. It's not surprising that you cannot find him,” muttered Chris sarcastically. “It's not easy to outsmart him. Be careful!”

Charlotte didn't say anything and left quickly.

Staring at her leaving, Chris' expression suddenly changed and he sighed, “Zachary, I'm really envious of you...”

Chris had longed for love, but he was not successful in his quest to win her over.

In this world, besides his mother Zara, no one treated him sincerely. Hence, his world collapsed after his mother died.

Before this, he had always been envious of Zachary's impeccable wisdom and abilities. Not to mention Zachary's wealth that he would not in his lifetime acquire. But now, he was even more envious of the fact that there was a woman who loved him so deeply.

And that woman was the very same woman that he loved from the bottom of his heart.

Hence, he was jealous.

After leaving and getting in the car, Charlotte immediately called Gordon and told him what he gathered from Chris.

Gordon had the same reaction as her. “No wonder we can't find your son even after searching high and low in H City. He's in Yaleview! Ms. Lindberg, don't worry about it. I'll send my men immediately.”

“Hold on...” Charlotte was hesitant. “I'm not sure if what Chris said was true. What if he's lying? Can it be a trap?”

“I think he's telling the truth,” replied Gordon. “I replayed the video numerous time and noticed the sound of an operating factory in the background. There're not many factories in H City, and I've checked them all out. Your children are not there. I've started to direct my search to other cities, but I did not expect it to be Yaleview.”

“But there are countless factories in Yaleview. It'll be too time-consuming to check one by one.” Charlotte frowned. She suddenly thought of another person. “Let me call Mr. Judd. He should be able to help as he's familiar with the factories there.”

“Give me his contact and I'll meet with him. I think the sound produced by the factory was quite special. Maybe he can identify it. This way, the search will be made so much easier.”

“All right.”

Charlotte hung up the phone and called Jeffrey, who was anxious upon knowing that the children were kidnapped. Nonetheless, he agreed without hesitation to offer his help after being made aware of their predicament.

Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief. All she hoped was to locate Robbie and Jamie as soon as possible. Once that was settled, she could focus all her attention on Chris and Jesse.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1598

“Ms. Lindberg...”

Lupine waited for a long time before she had the opportunity to speak to her. Before this, Charlotte was too occupied with the arrangements to rescue the children.

As things started to settle down, she could no longer hold her tears.

Jade and Emma too had been withholding their tears all night long. But the moment Jade burst into tears, the others too followed suit.

Instead of explaining or consoling them, Charlotte chose to keep quiet and stare at them.

Lupine noticed the aberration. She wiped her tears off and asked chokingly, “Ms. Lindberg, are you laughing at us?”

Jade and Emma stared at Charlotte worriedly. “Ms. Lindberg, are you crazy?”

“I'm perfectly fine. You're the crazy one.” Charlotte rolled her eyes.

“You guys underestimated me. I'm not a gullible person that will fall for his trap easily. I have no problem dealing with Chris.”

“Why don't you say it earlier? We were so worried!” Lupine was infuriated. “I even wanted to kill Chris just now!”

“That's right! I was planning to bring him down with me!” Jade was angry as well.

“All right, let's move on.” Charlotte smiled. “I decided this at the very last minute. Now, no matter where I go, I will have to bring Hayley's medicine with me. While I was on my way to Sultry Night, I realized that Chris might create problems. Immediately, I called Peter and had him handle the situation. Hence, I did not have the chance to discuss it with you all. Nonetheless, I did not expect all of you to show up. The reaction by you and Bruce made everything look extra convincing. This way, Chris will not suspect anything about me.”

“That's good.” Lupine patted herself on the chest. “I thought I might have ruined your plan.”

“No matter what, there's progress now. I hope Gordon manages to find Jamie and Robbie,” Charlotte sighed.

“It shouldn't be a problem. Gordon is a capable person. He should be able to do it,” Lupin assured.

At that moment, Morgan called and Lupine immediately answered, “Hello!”

“What? I'll be right over.”

After hanging up the call, Lupine said to Charlotte, “Ms. Lindberg, Alpha's fever is not subsiding. It might be some sort of medical complication. Dr. Wright says that he must be admitted immediately!”

“How could that be?” Charlotte was utterly shocked. “When we brought her back, Raina said that her condition had stabilized!”

“I don't know what happened. Morgan only explained the situation briefly.” Lupine's expression turned solemn. “Actually, Dr. Wright mentioned that although she's skilled enough to deal with her condition, the equipment in the hospital is limited, which in turn limited her treatment options.”

“Didn't I ask you to contact other hospitals? It may not necessarily be in H City. Other places are fine too.” Charlotte anxiously asked, “So what's her condition now?”

“I prepared a list previously and contacted the hospitals in the nearby cities. But all of them refused to admit her. I think this must be the doing of the Gold family. Furthermore, they must have seen the news and wanted to avoid making enemies with the Nacht family...”

Lupine was extremely concerned. “Ms. Lindberg, why not we try to contact hospitals overseas? I don't believe that the Gold family's influence extends to the international level.”

“That's our only way.” Charlotte nodded before uttering, “Drive faster!”

“Sure.”

Soon, they reached Northridge. Charlotte came down from the car and rushed toward the clinic.

Alpha's fever had already reached thirty-nine degrees Celcius. Beside her was a worried Morgan, who had been taking care of her all the while.

Helen saw Charlotte and muttered, “Ms. Lindberg, you must think of a solution quickly. If we don't admit her to the hospital soon, her condition will be out of control. We can't afford that!”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1599

“I've tried contacting other hospitals. However, my effort was to no avail,” Lupine answered. “All the local hospitals refused to admit her. I'm trying to contact those hospitals overseas now.”

“It's no use trying to contact the hospitals overseas.” Helen's eyebrows knitted together. “If possible, I would have admitted her to my hospital. But she's having a really high fever now, so it's risky to travel long journeys.”

“What should we do?” Lupine was anxious after listening to Helen's words.

“Can we transport the equipment and medicine here? We can treat her at home since you are a very skilled doctor.” Morgan suggested to Helen.

“Although I'm skilled, that doesn't mean that I know everything. Some equipment needs to be operated by a professional.” Helen felt helpless. “We need to think of a solution quickly.”

She left after saying those words.

Charlotte stared at Alpha, distressed and concerned with her condition. Helen is right. It would be too late to travel overseas to seek treatment now. To make matters worse, the local hospitals refused to admit him.

She wanted to call Spencer and get his help to admit Alpha to Serene Hospital. After all, Serene Hospital was founded by Henry. Jesse couldn't have exerted his influence there.

Besides, Alpha was Danrique's child, and Jesse dared not meddle with his affairs recklessly.

The phone rang for a long time but Spencer did not pick up. She recalled what Johann said earlier that Spencer's devices might be bugged. Well, that explains why he is not picking up the phone.

Having left with no other options, Charlotte brought Lupine with her and drove to the Garden Villa to look for Spencer.

That is our only way out.

Morgan continued to look after Alpha, troubled by her condition.

Meanwhile, Ellie brought Beta and Gamma to visit Alpha. The moment Beta saw Gamma, she immediately started crying. Trembling, she said, “Alpha, I'm really worried. Please recover soon. I won't snatch the milk bottle from you anymore.”

“Alpha, get well soon. I'll bring you horse-riding after you recover.” Ellie was tearing up too. “We can go over to the backyard to pick the grapes too. It's riping soon!”

Ellie and Beta were talking to Alpha, while Gamma merely stood there crying and staring at her.

After a while, she left the room and ran upstairs.

“Gamma, don't you wanna stay here with us?” Emma yelled.

However, Gamma did not respond. Emma brushed her worries away, thinking that Gamma was merely devastated by Alpha's condition, and ran back to her room crying.

Gamma did not go to her room. Instead, she ran to the attic and scanned her surroundings. After making sure that there was no one, she climbed over and opened the windows. Then, she whistled in the direction of the wind.

She was soft but it sounded nice.

Quickly, the trees outside of the villa started shaking. The birds inside flew toward her and landed on the windows by the attic.

Gamma was conversing with the birds in a weird language. The next second, the birds flew away. They did not fly back to the trees but into the depths of the forest.

In the courtyard, the bodyguards on the lookout noticed the flock of birds in the sky. Confused, they uttered, “What is going on? Why did the flock of birds fly toward the window by the attic just now? Now the flock is flying away.”

“Is it going to rain? It is quite common if it's going to rain.”

“It doesn't seem like it.”

“Let's not worry about it. There's more than enough for us to worry about.”

“You are right. I hope Ms. Lindberg can find a hospital for Alpha. It's so worrisome!”

“Yes.”

While the two were chatting, the flock of birds had already flown deep into the forest, looking for something...

Gamma frowned and talked to herself, “I hope the birds can find Mommy. Mommy, please come back! Alpha needs you. We need you...”

Tears started streaming down Gamma's cheeks. “I'm stuck here! There are very few animals here. I'm not sure if I can find Mommy like this.”

Gamma looked toward Fifi. “Fifi, can you tell your friends to help me look for Mommy?”

Fifi appeared to have understood her. It nodded and dashed into the sky, letting out a loud screech in the process.

After a while, a few eagles started circulating the sky before dispersing to the forest.

In the courtyard, the two bodyguards started discussing again. “That's weird. Before this it was the birds, now it's the eagles. What day is it?”

“I think it was Fifi who made that noise just now.”

“Perhaps it might rain soon.”

Meanwhile, in the forest.

Francesca was cooking mushroom soup. Upon hearing the commotion outside, she ran out to check.

The birds were like having a conference, chirping non-stop in a bizarre fashion. In the sky, there were even eagles circulating and sending some signals.

Francesca then said in shock, “Something bad has happened to my baby?”

She quickly ran back into the wooden house and searched frantically for her car keys. At the same time, she scolded Zachary, kicking his bed in the process. “It's all your fault! Because of you, I can't visit my baby! Now, something bad has happened to her.”

Zachary's fingers responded with a minor twitch.

“I'm telling you, I'm going to look for my baby now. You are on your own.”

Francesca stared at him while putting on her jacket. After she retrieved her car keys, she stormed off the place in a hurry.

However, she hesitated when she reached the entrance. Then, she turned around and instructed the wolf. “Look after him. I'll be back soon.”

The wolf nodded and stood guard beside Zachary.

Francesca left the wooden house and removed the cover from his van.

She leaped into the car in a swift motion. Before leaving, she reminded the eagle and the snake, “Don't let anyone come near!”

The eagle and the snake nodded in response.

Francesca started the engine and sped away, whipping up the leaves in a swirling frenzy.

The old van maneuvered through the forest briskly.

As the sound of the car started to fade, the wolf stuck out its tongue and licked Zachary's face. Its eyes shimmered with a green light.

It had been eyeing to devour him for a long time.

Under the impression that Francesca had abandoned Zachary, the wolf thought that it could finally have a feast.

The wolf was drooling in hunger and its saliva dripped on Zachary's eyebrows.

Meanwhile, Zachary's fingers twitched again.

Not long later, he opened his dry mouth. With a hoarse voice, he warned, “If you dare to eat me, I'll not let you off the hook...”

The wolf seemed to understand what he said. It took a few steps back and waved its tail, indicating its obedience.

Then, he limped and brought a glass of water for Zachary.

Zachary opened his eyes and stared at the run-down place. Struggling, he tried to open his mouth and drink the water.

There were leaves floating on the water in the glass, and the edges of the glass were tainted with the wolf's saliva.

If it were to be the old Zachary, he would have been disgusted. However, the strong instinct for survival caused him to dismiss all those privileged thoughts.

He gulped down the glass of water like a hungry beast, and his energy restored slightly.

Squinting his eyes, he scanned the surroundings and started gathering his thoughts.
