Ch. 171..180

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 171

The moment the door closed, Charlotte regained her senses and realized Zachary’s hand had reached her sensitive parts. When she tried to push him away, he pushed her against the table instead.

“No…” Charlotte trembled in fear as she tried to resist as best as she could.

“You wanted this.”

Zachary declared with a raspy voice and kissed her forcefully. At the same time, he took off his clothes.

“Mmm Mmm…” Charlotte continued to struggle as Gigolo’s image flashed in her mind. She didn’t want to betray him.

Lifting her skirt, Zachary prepared for his final advance.

“No…” Charlotte screamed in fear. “I have a boyfriend…”

“Boyfriend?” Zachary stopped and squinted his eyes at her. “Are you using such a lame excuse on me?”

“No, really.” Charlotte frantically replied, “We were just together yesterday…”

Suddenly, she stopped mid-sentence when she saw the faint tattoo underneath his shirt.

However, she could only see a corner of it and not the whole tattoo itself.

She quickly reached out to uncover his shirt, so that she could see if it was the wolf head tattoo.

Zachary caught her hand and pushed her away warily.

“You are…”

“You can leave now.”

Zachary interrupted her as he straightened his clothes, just like what a heartless scumbag would do.

“What’s that on your back?”

Charlotte grew extremely anxious and tried to take off his shirt.

Zachary avoided her attempt and raised his eyebrows coolly. “What’s wrong? Are you trying to throw yourself at me now that you are aroused?”

“I…” Just when Charlotte was about to reply, there was a knock on the door followed by Bruce’s voice. “Mr. Nacht, the product launch is at its end. Mr. Sterk requests that you join him downstairs.”

“I’ll be on my way,” Zachary replied.

“Yes!”

Charlotte had no choice but to save her words for another time. She remarked, “You should go ahead with work.”

“Stupid woman. Your underwear was removed without you noticing it.”

Zachary handed her her white panties from atop the black leather sofa.

Filled with embarrassment, Charlotte bit her lower lip and took it from him.

“There’s a break room at the back.” Zachary’s eyes were filled with suppressed desire. “You should tidy yourself up first.”

“Mmm-hmm.” Charlotte hurried towards the changing room.

As Zachary watched her go, he let out a charming smile. The lust in him was still burning strong but he knew now wasn’t the time. He had to endure…

After all, there were still plenty of opportunities.

With the product launch at its end, Zachary appeared behind the screen. Meanwhile, the broadcast only showed his silhouette but not his face.

Before he said a word, the audience broke into thunderous applause.

Behind the screen, Zachary explained the new technologies and the philosophy behind them. He wanted to help mankind live more efficiently so that they could have more time to do more important things.

After that, he unveiled the latest multifunctional robot and showcased its features to everyone.

As the reporters repeatedly took pictures of both the robot and Zachary’s silhouette, the atmosphere came to a climax.

When Charlotte came out of the room after tidying up and saw what unfolded on screen, she felt a newfound sense of admiration and respect for him.

At the same time, her suspicion that he was Gigolo was further intensified.

“Ms. Windt,” Bruce greeted her when he saw her. He had just led a group of men into the room to clean up.

“Mr. Bruce,” Charlotte quickly replied.

Although all of Zachary’s close subordinates treated her with respect, she was well aware of her status. Hence, she returned the favor and treated them with respect.

“Ms. Windt, you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?”

Bruce gave Charlotte a closer look. All this while, he had always been out for work. The few times he was back, he only saw Charlotte from afar and hardly took notice.

Today, after he managed to see her up close, he felt she looked familiar.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 172

“Is that so?”

Charlotte looked up at Bruce. Prior to this, she had only seen him once when they were in a hurry. Hence, she didn’t take notice. But now that she saw him up-close, she suddenly remembered.

The first day when she returned to H City from the village, her taxi crashed into a Rolls-Royce Phantom. At that time, the man seating beside the driver was Bruce.

Charlotte was shocked as all the pieces fell into place.

If he was sitting beside the driver, that means the person who was hurt and had a tattoo on his waist must be Zachary.

At that time, she was puzzled as to why a gigolo would be riding in such an expensive car.

When she met up with him at Sultry Night, she even thought that the car belonged to his rich sugar mommy.

Looking back now, she felt she had been extremely naive.

From the very beginning, Zachary was Gigolo. Despite them resembling each other so much, she was still easily fooled by him.

However, what she didn’t understand was why was he doing all this.

Wait, I have my three children with me then. Did Bruce see them?

If he did, then…

The more she thought about it the more uneasy she felt.

“Perhaps, I made a mistake, I’m sorry,” Bruce apologized with a bow before leaving.

Meanwhile, Charlotte tried her best to calm down and quickly left the president’s office. She washed her face in the employee’s washroom and regained her composure.

When the two cars crashed that day, Bruce had only caught a glimpse of her from afar. Furthermore, the children were in the car. So even if he saw her, he might not have seen the children.

Nevertheless, although all the circumstantial evidence pointed to the fact that Zachary was Gigolo, she knew she could never be sure until she saw the tattoo. Since he already had feelings for her, finding out wasn’t going to be difficult.

As of now, the priority is to hide the children’s identity and determine if Zachary is Gigolo. I’ll figure out the rest after that. At the same time, I still need to solve the problem of the debt repayment contract.

Holding that thought, Charlotte took a deep breath. After regaining her composure, she went back to work.

Once the product launch was successfully completed, the reporters started to leave. After that, all the major media companies flooded the news with Divine Corporation’s latest tech products. The marketing department also announced that sales would begin in three days.

Separately, the police were brought in to arrest all the intruders and to investigate who they were.

The perpetrators were mostly wounded or unconscious when the police rounded them up.

When her colleagues returned to level 68, they were shocked by the amount of devastation they saw.

Lucy then announced that everyone in the president’s office would be given a three-month bonus for their exceptional performance. They would also be given the day off to facilitate the repairs.

Everyone cheered and jumped in ecstasy at the news.

Finally, Lucy informed Charlotte personally. “I have already gotten Mr. Nacht’s permission to make you an official employee. Congratulations and keep up the good work.”

“Thank you, Ms. Wright!’

Charlotte was overjoyed. Realizing she had hardly done anything, she was just grateful to be able to receive the reward.

“It’s time to get off work. You should head home to rest.”

Lucy patted her on her shoulders before going off.

Just when she finished packing and was about to leave, she suddenly saw Zachary with Bruce and another two bodyguards. They were heading for the VIP elevator and she quickly followed.

“This is reserved for the president’s use. Please leave,” The bodyguard warned.

Bruce shot him a glance, causing him to back down.

At that moment, the elevator’s door was about to close. Zachary raised his eyebrows at Charlotte, “What do you want?”

Charlotte meekly looked him in the eye and bit her lip. She requested softly, “I would like to talk to you about the necklace.”

“Go on.” Zachary tone was cold.

Charlotte explained in simple terms, “Actually, I lost Luna’s bracelet and she wanted me to pay for it. However, when I couldn’t afford to do so, I had no choice but to give her the necklace as collateral. We agreed that I would be able to use the bracelet to exchange it back. And now, I found it…”

“What has that got to do with me?” Zachary interrupted her. “The ruby necklace is what I’m looking for.”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 173

“What I meant was…” Charlotte frantically explained, “I will be able to get the ruby necklace back soon. Can you give me a few more days?”

“No.” Zachary was firm. “I have already given you three extra days and that is the limit. Don’t push your luck.”

“The main reason is that Luna has taken the necklace overseas and will only be back after ten days.”

“I’m not interested in the affairs of someone else’s wife.” Zachary was visibly frustrated. “There’s only one and a half day left. You should think of something else.”

“But…”

Before she could think of anything, the elevator door opened and Zachary stepped out.

Bruce nodded at Charlotte before leaving with the other bodyguards.

Charlotte was on the brink of tears when she exited the elevator. Feeling desperate, she wondered what she should do. This scumbag has me trapped!

“Has Ben been sent to Raina?” Zachary asked when he got in the car.

“Yes, she is treating him now.”

Compared to Ben, Bruce was equally as cold as his employer.

“Ben is really weak, just fighting that few intruders alone took everything out of him,” Zachary mocked. “He lost a lot of blood, so just tell him to rest.”

“Yes.” Bruce nodded. “I’ll let him know.”

Inside the car, Zachary was checking his phone casually. Just when he looked out the window, he saw Charlotte leave the office building.

“Mr. Nacht,” Bruce softly asked when he saw Charlotte, “don’t you think Ms. Windt resembles someone?”

“Mmm?” Zachary wasn’t paying attention and didn’t hear Bruce’s question. “What did you say?”

“No, it’s nothing.” Bruce changed the topic. “Straight to the airport?”

“Yes.” Zachary looked away with a gloomy expression. “Let’s go and meet that crazy woman.”

After taking the subway home, her three children ran to the door to welcome her back.

Ellie scrambled to be the first to throw herself in Charlotte’s embrace. Holding Charlotte’s neck with one hand, she pointed at the balcony with the other and said, “Mommy, Fifi is angry. She doesn’t want to come out from the cage and is plucking her own feathers.”

“It’s obvious she was in the wrong. Yet, she’s doing this to punish us.” Robbie suggested sternly, “Mommy, this time we cannot tolerate her behavior.”

“That’s right. This morning, she pooped in our breakfast and destroyed Mrs. Berry’s crystal, causing us not to have anything to eat. This is unacceptable.”

Jamie was feeling indignant about what happened in the morning.

“However, plucking her own feathers isn’t a good sign. Is she depressed?” Charlotte was worried. “Why don’t we take her to the vet?”

“That’s right. I think we should.” Ellie frowned as tears welled up in her doll-like eyes. “Although I’m also angry at her, I’m worried to see her this way.”

“Don’t worry Ellie. We will take her to the vet after dinner.”

Charlotte kissed Ellie’s cheeks while gently reassuring her.

“Both of you pamper her too much.” Robbie sighed like an adult. “Sigh, women are just too soft.”

“That’s right, women are so troublesome.” Jamie frown with discontent. “Fifi is also female, that’s why she causes so much trouble.”

“Both of you can’t behave this way,” Charlotte lectured them patiently, “Fifi is also part of our family.”

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Just when Charlotte was speaking, she heard someone knocking and quickly put down Ellie. She opened the door. “Is it Mrs. Berry who has returned from shopping?”

When she opened the door, she saw a delivery man standing outside. He handed her an exquisite-looking box. “Charlotte Windt? Someone has sent you a gift. Please sign to confirm receipt.”

“Who sent it?”

When she received the card and took a look, she saw Zachary’s name. Shocked, she wondered how he got her home address.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 174

“Please sign it,” the delivery man reminded again.

Charlotte quickly signed in and brought the gift back inside.

“Mommy, who sent the gift?”

The children surrounded her, filled with curiosity.

“It’s someone you don’t know…”

Charlotte felt troubled. If Zachary was indeed Gigolo, then he must then be the children’s father.

Does he already know the truth? Or else, why would he send a gift here?

“What is it? Quick, open it up so we can see.”

The trio widened their eyes with anticipation.

As Charlotte unwrapped its exquisite wrapping layer by layer, she wondered what could it be.

Her heart was overwhelmed by emotions.

“Mommy, you’re just too slow. Let me help you.”

Jamie took over the gift box impatiently and help to unwrap it.

Meanwhile, Robbie brought a pair of scissors to help.

Ellie was rubbing her hands as she waited excitedly by the side.

Finally, they managed to open the gift box. Inside, there was another pink box that emanated a floral fragrance. Just when Charlotte was about to open it, Ellie volunteered excitedly. “Come, let me do it.”

“Alright, you do it!”

Charlotte knew how much little girls enjoyed opening presents, hence she passed it to Ellie.

Holding the box in her hand, Ellie took a deep breath before opening it excitedly.

“Ah!”

The next moment, a horrifying shriek rang out, followed by Robbie and Jamie’s screams.

Fifi fluttered around her cage squawking, “I’m scared, I’m scared!”

At that moment, the house went into an uproar.

Charlotte’s eyes widened in shock and she looked at the contents in disbelief.

It was the body of a dead kitten. It was still covered in blood and was a gruesome sight indeed. Obviously, someone had killed it cruelly.

Beside it, there was even a toy with flashing lights and a clown’s smiling face.

“Don’t worry. Mommy is here.”

Charlotte quickly regained her senses and put the cover back on the box.

When she was about to take it outside, she felt something was amiss. She could hear a ticking sound coming from the box.

“It’s a bomb! Mommy, throw it away!”

Robbie grabbed the box from Charlotte’s hands and dashed out.

“Robbie!” Charlotte screamed as she ran after him.

Right when Robbie threw the box along the corridor, the box exploded with a loud bang.

The whole house was shaken and pieces of the corridor ceiling came dropping down, almost hitting Robbie.

“Robbie! Robbie!” Charlotte dashed toward him like a madwoman and hugged him. “Are you alright? You scared me.”

“Mommy, I’m fine. Cough, cough.” Robbie was just choked by the dust from the debris.

Charlotte carried him into the house and closed the door immediately.

“Mommy.” Ellie was crying in fear, her face swollen red.

Hugging her, Jamie put on a strong face and comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

“Who sent such a thing? Why does he want to harm us?” Robbie asked frantically.

“That man…” Charlotte was confused as she didn’t understand why would Zachary do such a thing.

“My God! What happened?”

At that moment, Mrs. Berry returned from shopping. She too was shocked when she saw the scene. “Miss, Ellie, are you alright?”

“Mrs. Berry, take the kids back to the village.” Having calmed down, Charlotte was decisive. “There’s no time to spare. Pack your bags quickly while I get a car.”

“What… What’s going on?” Mrs. Berry was stuttering in fear. “Is someone trying to harm us? Who is it?”

“I don’t know but they know our house address. Therefore, we are in danger and you have to leave with the kids immediately.”

Charlotte gave Zak, a security guard who works at their apartment block, a call, “Zak, are you still moonlighting as a driver? I’ll pay you double to send Mrs. Berry and the kids back to the village.”

“Double? Sure. I’ll be right up to help with your bags.”

After ending the call, Charlotte pondered a while before giving Zachary a call.

She wanted to know if he sent the “Delivery from Hell”.

At that moment, Zachary had just arrived at H City airport. He was walking toward the tarmac with his men.

He was shocked to see who was calling.

Charlotte had always called Gigolo’s number and never did call him directly.

In fact, he never even gave her his number before. Why is she calling me all of a sudden?

Does she suspect my identity and is trying to probe?

In the office today, she must have seen the tattoo on my lower back. That’s why she was acting that way.

Hmph, I’m not going to play this game with you.

Zachary ended the call with a grin.

When she heard the call ended, Charlotte felt a chill in her heart. Since he is not taking my call, did he really send the “Delivery from Hell”?

No, it can’t be him because he has no reason to do so.

Even if he knew I’m hiding something, he wouldn’t use such a devious method to scare the children.

Perhaps he doesn’t have my number and chose not to answer an anonymous call?

With that thought in mind, Charlotte quickly called Gigolo. Regardless of whether he was Zachary, she needed to find someone to help her first.

She had the feeling that the person who sent the “Delivery from Hell” would strike again.

Gigolo didn’t pick up too.

When she saw the devastation outside the house caused by the explosion, she was terrified.

With her hands still trembling, she sent Gigolo a message: Gigolo, save me.

“Miss, we are done packing.” Mrs. Berry walked out of the room with a huge luggage bag. “I’ve called Mr. Brawn to pick us up when we arrive. He will bring a man with him.”

“Alright, their presence really puts my heart at ease.” Charlotte urged them to hurry. “Quick, I’ll walk you down.”

As Charlotte anxiously led Mrs. Berry and the kids downstairs, she kept reminding her, “Mrs. Berry, I’ve put the bank card in your bag. There’s a hundred thousand inside so it should be enough for the time being. Be careful and call me when you arrive.”

“I understand.” Mrs. Berry’s eyes were red. “Miss, come with us. I can’t bear to leave you alone here.”

“Mommy, come with us.”

The children tugged at Charlotte and refused to let go.

“Mommy can’t leave…”

Charlotte had a hunch that she was the target of the perpetrators. If she left with them, it might put them in danger.

“Robbie, Jamie, Ellie, you have to be good. Once I resolve this matter, I’ll come to the village to pick you up.”

“Mommy, we don’t want to leave you.’ Charlotte threw herself into Charlotte’s embrace and cried till she trembled. “I’m afraid I won’t see you again.”

Her words unnerved both Robbie and Jamie at the same time.

Robbie’s eyes were red. Despite the urge to cry, he gritted his teeth and stayed strong.

As for Jamie, he clenched his fists with a frown. With tears in his eyes, he pleaded, “Mommy, come with us, I will protect you.”

“Mommy knows that…” Charlotte hugged her children tightly as she choked, “Mommy knows that you are good children. With you around, I won’t be afraid. I’m just staying back to find out what’s going on. Once I’m done, I will come for you. Trust me.”

Mrs. Berry was wiping tears off her eyes and didn’t dare say another word.

“Alright, time to get into the car.” Charlotte pushed Mrs. Berry and the trio inside. She paid Zak and added, “Zak, be careful when driving.”

“Don’t worry, I am very experienced as I have driven for more than ten years.” Receiving the money, Zak announced cheerfully, “Kids, we’re off!”

As Charlotte watched them leave, she saw the children looking back from the back seat with tears in their eyes. Waving at them, she could no longer hold back her tears.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 176

Ever since the children were born, they never left here before. This time, it might be at least a few days before they were reunited.

Charlotte had to find out who was the culprit as she couldn’t allow them to harm her children.

With careful thought, she narrowed down her enemies to Wesley, Yolanda, and the Whites.

Wesley and Yolanda were in jail, so they were out of the equation.

As for the Whites, despite how vicious they were, wouldn’t dare use Zachary’s name to commit such an act.

However, if not them, who then?

She called Gigolo again as she walked home.

When she hurriedly left home just now, she didn’t take anything other than her phone. Heading back to pack, she decided to stay at a hotel until the matter was resolved.

Just when she lowered her head to make a call, she didn’t realize there was a figure following her from a dark corner.

At the airport, Zachary had just boarded the plane when he saw a missed call on his other number. There was also a message from Charlotte that read: Come save me!

His expression changed dramatically as he stood up to disembark.

“Mr. Nacht.” Bruce followed behind him quickly. “Is there something wrong?”

“Go to E Nation on my behalf. I need to head back first.”

Zachary rushed off the plane without looking back. He quickened his footsteps before starting to sprint.

In his heart, he was blaming himself failing to foresee this.

That madwoman had sent men to disrupt my product launch. Hence, it’s natural for her to harm Charlotte too. How could I have missed something so important and not pick up her call?

If something happens to her, I won’t be able to forgive myself.

“What should we do?” the bodyguards asked Bruce.

“Team one shall protect Mr. Nacht while team two will come with me to E Nation,” Bruce ordered decisively. “Protect him from the shadows, and don’t get in his way.”

“Understood.”

Just when Charlotte returned to her home and prepared to turn on the lights, she could sense a murderous intent behind her. Turning around she grabbed her high heel and swung it forcefully.

However, she missed as the intruder jumped aside to avoid it.

Charlotte then rushed into the house frantically and shut the door. After locking it, she stood behind the door to block it.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Outside, the man was kicking the door down. Every time he struck, the door would shake Charlotte forward.

Charlotte was seized by fear. With one hand blocking the door, she tried calling the police with the other.

At that moment, she received a call. It was Zachary.

She quickly picked up. “Save me…”

“Charlotte, where are you?”

“I’m at home.”

“Damn it, I’m asking where do you stay?”

“I…”

Before she could finish, the door was kicked open. Both her and her phone fell onto the ground.

There wasn’t enough time to pick up the phone. Hence she frantically picked herself up and tried to run. However, the man in black kicked her back down.

“Ah!”

As Charlotte’s agonizing scream rang through the phone, Zachary’s hand that was gripping the steering wheel began to tremble. He was speeding so fast that it felt like the car was about to fly.

“Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?”

With her body on the ground, Charlotte scrambled backward in fear.

The man in black was wearing a face mask and a baseball cap, hiding his features. He was holding a sharp knife as he approached her gradually.

“Don’t kill me,” Charlotte trembled as she pleaded, “I’ll give you all my money.”

The man in black ignored her. Raising his knife, he thrust it forward.

“Mommy!”

Suddenly, a loud shriek could be heard followed by a flash of green flying across the room. It pecked at the man’s eyes viciously.

“Argh!” The man’s eyes began to bleed as he screamed in agony. He waved the knife in his hand to fend off his attacker.

“Evil man! Evil man!”

Fifi evaded the attacks with great agility. With a flap of her wings, she danced around in the air.

“Fifi!”

Charlotte scrambled to stand up and reached out her hand for Fifi to land. After that, she turned and ran into her room.

“Damn it!” The man in black pursued.

Charlotte quickly locked the door and even pushed a wardrobe over to reinforce it. With Fifi in hand, she wanted to escape from the window. But when she reached it, she realized she was on the thirteenth floor.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 177

“Argh!” Charlotte yelled in desperation. What should I do? Am I going to die here today?

“Mommy if you jump, I jump!”

Fifi repeated the line from the Titanic as she encouraged Charlotte to jump.

“Of course you can jump. You’re a bird but I’m not!”

Charlotte almost cried in response.

Outside, the intruder was charging at the door. She figured the door wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer.

However, she was thirteen floors up and would be grievously hurt if she jumped.

She was now trapped between a rock and a hard place.

Death awaited her no matter what she chose.

“Jump! Jump! Jump!” Fifi flapped its wings while egging Charlotte on.

“Damn it, there’s no choice!”

Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Charlotte prepared to jump. But when she felt the rustle of the cold wind on her ears, she stepped back. Holding the window sill, she cried out in despair.

“I don’t want to die! My children are still so young and I haven’t spent all my money.”

Bang! The door was finally kicked open.

“B*tch! You’re gonna die!” The attacker brandished his knife and charged fiercely at her.

“Ahhh!”

Charlotte screamed as she jumped out frantically. But her clothes were caught by the window eaves and she was trapped.

“This can’t be!” Charlotte was overwhelmed by despair.

“Evil man!” Fifi dived towards the man to peck his eyes.

However, he thrust his knife forward which caught Fifi by her wing on its way toward Charlotte’s neck.

Injured, Fifi dropped into Charlotte’s arms.

Resigned to her fate, Charlotte closed her eyes in despair. However, just when the knife was a centimeter from her throat, it stopped.

She was already prepared to die but the knife didn’t pierce through her.

As for the man in black, he collapsed to the ground.

As she gradually opened her eyes, she could see a familiar figure at the door. He had his hand by the door and emanated a feral vibe. His eyes were filled with undeniable concern as he stared anxiously at her.

“Are you alright?” Zachary asked with his voice trembling slightly.

“Boohoo…” Charlotte began to bawl. “What took you so long!”

“You only told me 32 Happy Avenue but didn’t say which floor or house number. I’ve been running all the way.”

Zachary approached and opened his arms to hug her.

Just when Charlotte wanted to jump back into the room, she forgot that her clothes were caught by the window eaves. As she moved too forcefully, she suddenly felt her body falling backward.

Charlotte widened her eyes and all she could think off was “death”.

Am I fated to die today?

Zachary darted toward her like an arrow, grabbed onto her hand tightly, and pulled her back in with all his might.

As she crashed into his arms, his muscular chest gave her a sense of security, just like a harbor sheltering her from the storm.

“Boohoo…” Charlotte bawled as she hugged his waist for dear life.

“Stupid woman, are you a fool?” Zachary lectured her while spanking her ruthlessly on her ass. “Your stupidity almost killed you!”

“Boohoo…” Charlotte continued to cry as her body trembled out of fear and pain.

His spanks are so painful that my ass is going to split open.

However, when she heard his heartbeat frantically pounding away, she was inexplicably moved.

Zachary tore off her dress and helped her back in from the window.

Safe within his embrace, Charlotte grabbed onto his shirt and didn’t dare let go.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone harm you.”

Zachary lowered his head and was about to kiss her forehead.

“Mommy…”

Suddenly a weak moan was heard.

“What is that sound?” Zachary was stunned with his eyes showing mixed emotions.

Charlotte got a fright but quickly recovered her senses. “Fifi, my God! You’re hurt.”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 178

When Zachary saw the parrot in Charlotte’s arms, he heaved an inexplicable sigh of relief. “I thought it was a child. I didn’t expect a parrot!”

“Quick, send her to the vet.” Charlotte anxiously urged him.

Fifi’s wing was injured and seemed to be close to her last breath.

When Zachary carried Charlotte out of the room, he accidentally stepped on something that cried out, “Wah!” Stopping in his tracks, he lowered his gaze and saw a doll.

Charlotte’s heart stop. Oh no! This is Ellie’s doll.

“Why are you still playing with this at your age? You’re so childish.”

Zachary assumed that it was Charlotte’s toy, and didn’t think too much about it as he quickly left together with her.

Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had sent Mrs. Berry and the children away. She managed to avoid a massacre and also hid them from Zachary’s sight.

At the same time, she was glad the apartment was in darkness and Zachary could hardly see much. Or else, once he saw the children’s belongings, he would definitely find out about them.

After carrying Charlotte into the car, Zachary drove with one hand while giving Raina a call with the other. “Come over, she’s hurt. Also, take the bird to the vet.”

“Bird?” Raina was stunned at the other end of the line. However, she politely acknowledged, “Yes, I’ll arrange it right away.”

“She is called Fifi, and is a Budgerigar Parrot,” Charlotte corrected him.

“Isn’t a parrot a bird?” Zachary retorted.

Charlotte was speechless. Fine, if you insist on calling her a bird.

After all, Fifi wouldn’t mind given that she was in a daze from her injury.

When they arrived at the villa from last time, Zachary carried Charlotte down from the car. More than twenty bodyguards were lined up in two rows, they then bowed slightly in respect.

Feeling self-conscious, Charlotte whispered, “Put me down.”

“Shut up,” Zachary asserted softly before carrying her upstairs.

The room from last time was already prepared with the maid waiting at the door.

Zachary carried her in and lowered her onto the bed. When he leaned in, it put both of them in close proximity. They exchanged glances and were overwhelmed with a mixture of emotions.

Charlotte grew nervous and felt uneasy at the same time.

As for him, behind the desire in his eyes, was a sense of concern for her.

“Mr. Nacht.” A voice rang out from the door.

Returning to his usual cold self, Zachary straightened his posture and instructed, “Give her a thorough checkup.”

He left after that.

“Yes!” Raina nodded respectfully.

“I’m fine, please take a look at her first.” Charlotte pointed to Fifi.

“Oh… so it’s a small parrot.” Raina laughed. “Luckily, I brought a vet. Don’t worry, she will take care of her.”

After arranging for the vet to treat Fifi, Raina gave Charlotte a checkup.

She realized Charlotte was largely alright other than for a few scrapes. After applying some medication, she instructed the maid to prepare some warm tea.

As for Fifi, only her wing was injured and her life wasn’t in danger. However, she needed to be treated at Raina’s pet hospital as the equipment needed was all there.

Raina promised Charlotte that when they brought Fifi back tomorrow, she would be back to her usual self.

After reassuring Charlotte, she left with her assistants.

The maid then helped Charlotte wash up and change.

After taking a quick bath and getting a change of clothes, Charlotte went to see Zachary in the next room.

Knock! Knock! Knock! Charlotte asked softly, “It’s me, can I come in?”

“Go ahead,” Zachary replied.

As Charlotte pushed open the door, she realized the room was dim inside. Only the bathroom light was on but she didn’t hear the sound of water.

Biting her lower lip, she entered carefully.

A warm light emanated from the massive bathroom while the ripples from the bathtub were reflected on the ceiling.

Zachary was leaning against the tub without anything on. He was enjoying the moment with his eyes closed.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 179

Charlotte quickly closed her eyes and turned around. “You… you’re still bathing. I’ll wait outside.”

Zachary ignored her.

As Charlotte walked out, something occurred to her. Why don’t I use this opportunity to check if there is a wolf head tattoo on his back?

With that thought in mind, she stopped in her tracks. Having gathered her courage, she said, “I would like to talk to you about something.”

“Hmm?” Zachary grunted.

“Were you the one who sent me the Delivery from Hell?” Charlotte demanded to know.

Zachary opened his eyes. “Did someone send it to you using my name?”

“Yes.” Charlotte nodded. “I received a parcel in the evening. Inside, there was a body of a dead kitten and also a bomb…”

Just talking about it caused her to feel the chills from the incident. “Luckily, I realized it in time and the explosion wasn’t a big one. Or else, I would be dead now.”

Zachary was briefly silent before giving Raina a call. “There’s a Delivery from Hell. Go and investigate who sent it.”

“Understood.”

“It wasn’t you? Who could it be then?” Charlotte couldn’t put two and two together. “Who would even dare pretend to be you?”

It wasn’t strange if someone wanted to harm her. What piqued her curiosity was that the culprit did so in Zachary’s name.

“I’ve sent men to investigate so we’ll know soon enough.” Zachary wiped the water off his face. “Is there anything else?”

“With regards to the necklace…”

“You still have one day.” Zachary didn’t budge.

“But…”

Charlotte had wanted to plead for more time. But Zachary had closed his eyes and obviously didn’t want to hear any of it.

Pursing her lips, Charlotte glared at him angrily.

There’s no way I can see the tattoo with his back to the bathtub.

After giving it some thought, Charlotte remarked on purpose, “Mr. Nacht, I don’t understand why you forced me to sign the debt repayment agreement. Have you fallen for me? But I’m already taken.”

Zachary growled with a frown, “Get out.”

“It’s the truth, I’m not bluffing.” Charlotte was desperate. “My boyfriend is tall and handsome. Every time I’m in trouble, he would come save me. Besides, he…”

“Who saved you this time?” Zachary opened his eyes and looked at her as if she was an idiot. “And the last time, and the time before that…”

“Yes, you have also saved me many times. But he is different…” Charlotte had an idea and declared on purpose, “He is my first boyfriend and I will never leave him.”

“Oh? What does he do?” Zachary raised his eyebrow curiously.

“He…” Charlotte hesitated before she replied reluctantly, “He works in the service industry.”

I can’t fully confirm that Zachary is Gigolo yet, what if he isn’t?

Hence, she decided not to reveal Gigolo’s identity, for fear of reprisals from Zachary.

“What kind of service?” Zachary tried to trap her.

“Erm… he’s…” Charlotte couldn’t say it but she was terrible at lying. In the end, she found an excuse. “Why should I tell you?”

Zachary wasn’t bothered to entertain her further. Raising his hand, he waved her away.

Charlotte had no choice but to leave when she realized her plan had failed.

Just when she turned around, she kicked her knee against the wall, causing her to yell in pain. Feeling the numbness in her knee, she crouched on the floor to rub it.

“Why are you so clumsy!” Zachary was dumbfounded. “Even a pig is smarter than you!”

“Boohoo… it hurts…” Charlotte was squatting on the floor, crying. “It’s really painful.”

When Zachary saw how pitifully she was sobbing, he couldn’t help but sympathize with her. Hence he stood up and walked over.

When Charlotte heard him coming from behind her, her eyes lit up as she knew her moment had arrived.

“Let me see.” Zachary bent over to check on Charlotte’s leg. “Is it bleeding?”

“It’s really painful…”

Charlotte turned to look at his lower back but screamed when she saw his naked body instead. “Wh-Wh-Why are you naked?”

“Of course, who wears clothes when they’re bathing?” Zachary retorted coldly.

“Scumbag…” Charlotte closed her eyes and didn’t dare open them. “Go put on your bathrobe, quick!”

“Does it not hurt anymore?”

Zachary raised his eyebrow with a smirk. It seems she is playing games with me.

Isn’t she just trying to get a good look at my tattoo?

Now that she can, she refuses to open her eyes instead.

“You’re so annoying!”

Charlotte was so embarrassed that she was blushing all over. Picking herself up, she rushed out frantically.

When she saw how pathetic she looked, Zachary couldn’t help but smile smugly. You’re still no match for me.

Charlotte ran back to her own room and closed the door. Once inside, she couldn’t stop panting.

When she first entered, he was in the bathtub and she was standing three meters away, hence she couldn’t see his body clearly. Despite feeling nervous, she was still able to interact normally.

However, when he stood naked behind her when she was squatting down, she saw a huge object when she turned. It was so close that it almost bumped into her face.

Charlotte was so shocked that she could die.

No, I shan’t try and verify his identity in the bathroom ever again. It’s just too scary.

With a bath towel wrapped around his waist, Zachary sat on the sofa with a drink in hand. As he looked to the wall on his left, he was slightly aroused when he recalled Charlotte’s bashful look.

That foolish woman is so adorable when she’s embarrassed.

When he recalled how passionate she was in the car, he couldn’t help but crave for her even more.

However, now that she was suspicious of his identity, he was worried that he would expose himself if he got intimate with her.

Forget it, it’s better I bear with it.

Despite finishing his whiskey in one gulp, Zachary wasn’t feeling sleepy at all. Hence, with a tousle of his wet hair, he walked out to the balcony to admire the night sky.

It was a clear night with the stars shining brightly. From afar he could see the city lights blinking like they were vying for his attention.

The night breeze was gentle and brought with it a refreshing comfort as it blew.

“Mrs. Berry, have you arrived? That’s good to hear…”

When he heard Charlotte’s voice, Zachary turned to look. He saw her wearing a long T-shirt with short sleeves. She was on her phone walking around the balcony barefooted.

As the night breeze blew gently in her hair, there was an air of innocence to her. It made her look unimaginably beautiful.

“Robbie and…”

Charlotte stopped mid-sentence. She came out to the balcony because she was worried about the maids who might hear her. But little did she expect to see Zachary at the balcony too.

His top was bare and only had a towel wrapped around his waist. Glass in hand, he was drinking on the balcony next door.

As they were only four to five meters away from each other, they could see each other clearly. In fact, Charlotte managed to catch a glimpse of a green tattoo on his back.

However, before she could clearly see what the motif was, he had turned his back away.

With his back leaning against the balcony railing, he had a relaxed expression on his face. His demeanor was so calm it looked as if he had nothing to hide at all.

As Charlotte continued talking on the phone, she leaned her body against the railing. Stretching her neck to take a peek, she still couldn’t see his lower back.

She felt so exasperated that she was tempted to jump across and turn his back to see.

“Mommy, Mommy…”

At the other end of the line, Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie were all calling out for Charlotte.

“Wait a moment.”

Charlotte returned to her room with her phone.

Zachary heaved a sigh of relief when he realized she almost saw his tattoo. Luckily, he was vigilant and managed to turn away in time.

However, who is she talking to? Why does she sound so gentle and loving?

I seemed to have heard her mention the name “Robbie”. I wonder who that is.
