Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 821

“I came home to pack and get my travel documents. Something came up last minute, so I need to go on a trip,” replied Zachary as he stroked Robbie’s tiny head. After that, he instructed, “Go grab a drink. I need to discuss something with your great-grandpa.”

“Okay,” said Robbie. Then he slid off his chair and added, “Great-grandpa, let’s continue playing later, alright?”

“Sure,” replied Henry, who was gazing adoringly at Robbie.

The little boy then left with Fifi in his arms.

Ben closed the door to the study room and waited outside.

“Where are you headed to all of a sudden?” asked Henry.

“I need to go to Phoenix City. Something happened at base,” replied Zachary nonchalantly. “Mr. Blackwood came to me earlier, and I gave him some hints. But he will still have to deal with the rest on his own.”

“Okay, let’s monitor the situation from afar for now,” said Henry. Instead of pressing on, he asked, “Did Cynthia ask to see you?”

“No, she is a rational woman and probably won’t come to me for something like this,” said Zachary.

Those were his heartfelt words.

“You should appreciate her. Women like her are hard to come by,” advised Henry while rolling his eyes at Zachary. He then added, “Since everything is settled here, I should head back to M Nation too.”

Zachary finally got the old man to say those words. Over the past two days, Zachary had deliberately made things seem ambiguous with Cynthia in the hot spring resort. He even shared the same room with her for two nights, and it was likely that Cain and Kyle had shared that information with Henry.

Moreover, I kept praising Cynthia when I came back and seemed genuinely fond of her, so Grandpa probably bought it and decided to head back to M Nation.

“It’s good that you’re heading back. H City’s weather is more humid, and you’ve always been unaccustomed to it. I’ll take the kids to M Nation to visit you once I have settled everything here,” said Zachar, acting like he was a little hesitant to part.

“Yeah. I’ll head back once you return,” informed Henry while nodding. “Since you won’t be home the next few days, I’m worried that no one will be around for the kids.”

“It’s fine, actually,” said Zachary, trying his best to sound natural. “After all, Mrs. Rawlston and Raina are here to help, and we have tons of maid.”

“So what?” scolded Henry while glaring at him. “They need at least someone who is related to them by blood. Only when there’s family around will they feel safe.”

“I will be back in a couple of days,” insisted Zachary nervously. He was truly worried that Henry would change his mind and decide to stay. “The kids are old enough now, so they’ll be fine even if they’re on their own for a few days.”

“Why do I get the feeling that you want me to leave?” said Henry as he glared over unhappily.

“That is not true—”

“Then it’s settled,” interrupted Henry immediately. “I will return to M Nation once you’re done with your work. Honestly, do you think I enjoy being here? The air up here is thin, and it’s so humid that my old bones keep aching.”

Zachary was secretly exasperated. Still, he had no choice but to accept that arrangement. He took comfort in the fact that Henry planned on leaving after he returned from his trip, though. Let’s hope he won’t go back on his words…

Charlotte is not in the country anyway, and it’s only for a few days, so things should be fine.

After coming to that conclusion, Zachary nodded and said, “Alright, but don’t wear yourself out, okay? Let Cain drop off the kids so you can rest well.”

“That is not possible! I’m already here, so naturally, I will drop them off in person,” insisted Henry stubbornly. “It’s settled. You should go now.”

Zachary turned around and left. After that, he went to Robbie’s room and knocked on the door, calling out, “Robbie, it’s me.”

“Hang on, Daddy.”

Robbie was playing with the black gold ring while sitting in front of his desk. He knew that his father would be leaving for a business trip and that some bodyguards at home would be going with him. Great-grandpa might return to M Nation too, and the Triplets Reconnaissance Team will be free to carry out Project Mommy.

Robbie quickly kept the ring away and rushed over to open the door. “Daddy!”

“Can I come in?” asked Zachary with a smile.

“Of course,” replied Robbie as he moved aside and gestured for Zachary to enter.

When Zachary walked in, he saw the familiar decorations and the family photo hanging on the wall. The sight stung his heart a little…

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 822

That was the photo they took when Zachary and Charlotte got married on the beach. Besides the family of five, Fifi and Mrs. Berry were also there, so it was a complete family of seven, and they were smiling happily at the camera.

Ever since that day, the family photo had been placed in every room in the house.

Henry tried to have those photos removed from the walls, but all three kids protested, so he had no choice but to give that idea up.

Kids their age were usually forgetful, but the kids remembered every moment they shared with their mommy and Mrs. Berry…

“Daddy, do you miss Mommy?” asked Robbie as he followed Zachary’s gaze to the photo.

“Yeah,” murmured Zachary while sitting down. Having a tall figure, he seemed uncomfortable when he sat down on that small sofa, so he said, “This sofa is too small. We should switch this out for a bigger one.”

“Daddy, you say that every time you come into my room,” replied Robbie.

He later got a drink for his dad.

Zachary stroked Robbie’s tiny head. “I have to go on a business trip soon, so I will be away for a few days. Be good at home, okay? Your great-grandpa will take care of you three, so you can talk to him if you need anything.”

“Isn’t Great-grandpa going back to M Nation?” asked Robbie, frowning.

“He will leave once Daddy returns,” replied Zachary before reaching out to pinch the kid’s cheek lightly. “Why do I get the feeling that you want your great-grandpa to go back to M Nation too?”

“Hmm… I think the word ‘too’ is used very appropriately here,” said Robbie, who spoke like he was an adult.

Zachary laughed aloud.

Robbie was a lot like his father. They even spoke in the same tone, and although neither spoke much, they always got right to the point when they did.

“I should go,” said Zachary as he stood up.

“Okay,” replied Robbie as he nodded. “Don’t worry, Daddy. I will take care of Jamie and Ellie.”

“You’re a kid too, so just take care of yourself. Leave the adults to take care of them,” Zachary said with affection. Caressing Robbie’s tiny head, he added, “I would like to see you as carefree as Jamie and Ellie.”

“Thank you, Daddy,” replied Robbie. He was a little touched by that gesture.

Zachary then got up to leave. When he reached the door, Robbie called out suddenly, “Daddy!”

“Yes?” asked Zachary after he paused and turned to the kid.

“They say that you are in a relationship with Ms. Cynthia. Is that true?” Robbie blurted while staring intently at him.

“No,” answered Zachary. Although he didn’t elaborate further, he was firm when he added simply, “I only love your mommy.”

“I’m glad to hear that,” said Robbie while sighing a breath of relief. “You’ll be really happy if Mommy comes back, won’t you?”

“Of course,” replied Zachary without hesitation. A mesmerizing grin crept up on his lips, and his eyes shone with hope when he added, “Your mommy will come back to us soon…”

“Yes, she will,” said Robbie firmly. “And our family will be reunited soon.”

Zachary sensed that something was amiss. Robbie seemed strangely confident and firm when he said those words… Did he discover something?

“Daddy, you should hurry up,” reminded Robbie. “Mr. Ben and Mr. Bruce are waiting for you.”

“Yeah, alright,” said Zachary. He crouched down and hugged the kid before leaving.

Robbie watched Zachary’s leaving figure as the latter walked away. Daddy, I will definitely find Mommy and bring her back…

“Robbie, I’m going to go pick Jamie and Ellie up from school now. Would you like to come along?” asked Henry, who was wheeled into the room by Spencer.

“Nah, I should prepare for my science class later.”

Robbie checked his watch. It’s already past two in the afternoon.

“Alright,” said Henry, who didn’t think much of it. He simply advised, “Then be good and stay at home, okay? We will be back soon.”

“Got it. Don’t worry,” replied Robbie obediently. “Let me walk you downstairs.”

“Okay. Thank you, Robbie.”

Henry was delighted about it. Over the past few days, Robbie had been much nicer to him, and it seemed that the gap between the two of them was bridged. It’s as if we’ve gone back to the good old days…

Henry prayed that the harmony would last forever.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 823

Zachary was about to get into the car when he noticed that Henry’s car had pulled up as well. Right then, Spencer wheeled Henry out while Robbie stayed at the side.

“Where is everyone going?” asked Zachary.

“I’m picking Jamie and Ellie up from school,” said Henry.

“Isn’t it a little too early? It’s only a little after two,” said Zachary after he checked his watch.

“There’s an open class today, so I thought I’d go listen in. Besides, I can take this opportunity to interact with the principal as well,” explained Henry, who cared deeply about the kids’ education. “It’ll be time to pick them up once the class is over.”

“Alright,” said Zachary. He helped Henry into the car before crouching down to pick Robbie up, intending to carry him into the car. However, Robbie informed, “I’m not going. I have a science class this afternoon.”

“Okay, then stay home and be good,” said Zachary. He stroked the kid’s head before leaving.

“Bye, Daddy. Bye, Great-grandpa,” said Robbie while waving goodbye to the others.

“Robbie,” called out Henry after he rolled down the window and popped his head out. “If Jamie and Ellie want to go to Fairytale Land after class, I will send someone to take you there to meet up with them.”

“Okay,” answered Robbie while he watched everyone leave.

As the two cars slowly drove out of the place, Robbie scanned his surroundings and noted that over half of the subordinates were gone. The security is not as tight now, so this is the perfect opportunity to carry out the mission.

He then got back to his room and sent a text message to Jamie’s smartwatch: Text me after you get off class.

Then, Robbie started prepping.

The eagle destroyed Robbie’s second mechanical dove the last time around, so Robbie invented a brand new weapon—the multipurpose miniature camera!

The multipurpose miniature camera was the size of a bean and was placed on Fifi’s head. There was a software that linked the device to Robbie’s phone and shared the video in real-time. All Robbie had to do was open the application, and he could see everything the camera captured.

To top it all off, the multipurpose miniature camera could turn around and had no blind spots. It was not restricted to capturing videos from a fixed spot.

Robbie placed Fifi on his study desk and whispered to it, “Fifi, we’re counting on you to locate mommy.”

“Mommy! Mommy!” called out Fifi. It seemed excited upon hearing that word.

“Go!” ordered Robbie as he opened the window and let Fifi out.

Fifi flapped its wings and flew away.

The bodyguards saw the bird, but they paid no attention to it.

Robbie opened the application on his phone right away. Good, Fifi is flying toward the Northridge region.

I made the right choice to stay home the past few days to train Fifi and get it accustomed to the navigation function on the camera. If everything goes well, it will now follow the device’s lead to Northridge…

Robbie was a little excited about it. His new invention was a success, and he planned to slip out of the house later to go to Northridge. Who knows? Maybe Mommy is right there!

Robbie was scheming when his smartwatch suddenly vibrated. Seeing that it was a call from Jamie, Robbie quickly answered, “Hello?”

“Robbie, were you looking for me?” asked Jamie. He was in a noisy spot, and it was obvious that he was still in the classroom.

“Find a quiet spot and listen carefully,” instructed Robbie.

“Hang on,” replied Jamie. He knew that something serious had happened when he heard that tone, so he quickly sneaked to the top floor and said, “There’s no one here. You can speak freely now.”

“Daddy is out on a business trip, and Great-grandpa has gone to pick you two up. I am initiating Project Mommy now…”

“On your own? Take Ellie and I with you!”

“Of course we’re doing this together. That is why I am assigning tasks to the two of you now.”

“Cool, alright. Tell me,” said Jamie excitedly.

“When Great-grandpa comes to pick the two of you up, tell him that you guys want to go to Fairytale Land. He will make a call to have someone send me over. Then I will sneak away while I’m on my way. You and Ellie are to stall Great-grandpa for as long as you can. Do NOT let him come back or send his men to look for me. Understand?”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 824

“Uh…” blurted Jamie, who was slightly stunned. He nodded and replied after a pause, “I got it, but we’re not really doing anything. You’re the one carrying out all the tasks.”

“It’s called teamwork,” replied Robbie in a serious tone. “You’ve watched spy movies, so you should know that this is a tactical move.”

“Alright, but be careful since you’re on your own,” said Jamie, who was still a little worried.

“I’m not on my own. I have Fifi with me. Have you forgotten that it is a member of our team too?” reminded Robbie. As he spoke, he kept an eye on Fifi through the application.

“Oh, yeah,” said Jamie. He recalled that, on the day they formed the group, Fifi had put its leg in when they put their hands together, signifying that it joined the team as well.

“Remember to stall Great-grandpa. Otherwise, I won’t have time to carry out my task. Understand?” instructed Robbie.

“Got it… Robbie, please be careful.”

“Don’t worry. I will be fine.”

Robbie reverted his attention back to his phone after he hung up. Fifi couldn’t fly as fast as the mechanical dove could because it had been raised indoor. They had only recently let it out of the house, which improved its flying, but it was still not fast enough. Given its speed, it would take some time before Fifi reached Northridge.

That’s fine, though. It will take Great-grandpa some time to get to the school, and I still have to wait for the bodyguards to come and get me. Only then will I get the opportunity to sneak to Northridge. Otherwise, I won’t even be able to leave the villa.

Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door at that moment. The maid reported, “The science teacher is here.”

“Please lead him to the study room. I will be there soon,” said Robbie.

“Okay,”

The maid left after that.

Robbie then sent Fifi a voice message. “Fifi, take a break if you’re tired. You don’t need to hurry over. Safety first, okay?”

“Okay. Okay.”

It had been a while since Fifi flew that far, but it knew that it was assigned an important mission. That was why it persisted and kept flying.

Now that Robbie gave it permission to rest, the parrot felt relieved. It landed on a huge tree and rested there.

The new device could record videos from any angle and share them on Robbie’s phone in real-time. Other than that, it also had a navigation system and a communication system.

After doing some calculations, Robbie deduced that it would take Fifi some time to reach Northridge, so he took his phone with him into the study room for his class.

“Mr. Robbie, phones are not allowed in class,” reminded the teacher with a smile.

“I am waiting for an important call,” insisted Robbie. “It won’t affect the lesson. I promise.”

“Alright then, let us begin.”

Having said that, the teacher started teaching the lesson.

At that moment, Henry had reached the school. He initially wanted to listen in on the open class discreetly, but the school discovered his presence. That prompted the principal and the directors to come and welcome him in person.

However, Henry didn’t want to affect the class, so he had no choice but to leave the classroom.

The class ended just as he left. When Jamie and Ellie exited the classroom, they saw Henry there and ran over excitedly. “Great-grandpa, what brought you here?”

“Jamie! Ellie!” said Henry. A huge grin crept up on his face as soon as he saw them, answering, “I came to pick you up from school. Let’s go to Fairytale Land for dinner. What do you say?”

“That sounds great!” replied Jamie and Ellie simultaneously.

“Then I’ll have someone take Robbie there to meet us,” said Henry before he signaled with his hand.

With that, Spencer called the bodyguards at home.

“Isn’t it a little too early?” asked Jamie. The timeline was preponed by at least an hour, and he realized that it might affect Robbie’s plans, so he quickly suggested, “Let’s go get Robbie a little later.”

“It’s fine. You guys can leave school earlier today. The last class is just playtime anyway,” informed the principal warmly.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 825

“Alright then, let’s leave earlier today,” said Henry. He stroked Jamie’s head and continued, “Your daddy is on a business trip, and Robbie is probably bored at home now. Let’s leave earlier and meet him at Fairytale Land.”

“Oh, okay,” murmured Jamie. He knew it wasn’t appropriate for him to press on, so he changed tactics and said, “Let me go get my backpack.”

“Jamie, help me take my backpack as well,” requested Ellie. She didn’t know that they were already assigned a task and that the mission was ongoing.

“Your backpack is so heavy. Go get it yourself,” Jamie declined. “Come on. We’ll go together.” Jamie needed an excuse to drag Ellie away.

Ellie harrumphed and frowned in annoyance before complaining, “You are so mean.”

“We’ll get the teachers to bring them over for you,” suggested the principal immediately.

“There’s no need for that. Let them do it on their own,” refused Henry grimly. “The Nacht family members were taught to always accomplish their tasks by themselves. Please don’t give the kids special treatment. Just treat them like they are normal kids.”

“Understood,” replied the principal while nodding.

“You may get back to work. There’s no need to keep us company,” instructed Henry when he saw the other kids peeking over. “The other kids and their parents are staring, and this will affect everyone negatively.”

“That is…” said the principal as he turned to the directors, who exchanged glances with him.

“I have some questions for the kids’ teacher, but everyone else should go,” instructed Henry sternly.

“Understood,” said the principal. Everyone bowed politely before leaving in a hurry.

Henry had his men push him in his wheelchair to the other side so that he wouldn’t affect the other kids and their parents. After that, he asked the teacher about how Jamie and Ellie were doing at school.

At that moment, Jamie dragged Ellie to the side and shared Robbie’s plan with her.

Hearing that got Ellie to turn pale, and she said, “Isn’t it a little too dangerous for Robbie to carry out the mission on his own? There’s a scary eagle in Northridge. What if it attacks Robbie like it did the last time?”

“I’m worried about that too, but Robbie already set everything in motion, so all we can do is support him. If we don’t, the entire plan will go up in smokes,” replied Jamie with a frown. He sounded worried as well.

“But…”

“Don’t worry. The eagle was injured the last time we encountered it, and its injuries seemed grave, so I don’t think Robbie will be in any danger,” cooed Jamie. “All we need to do now is work with him so that he is not taking a risk in vain.”

“Okay, then,” replied Ellie while nodding. She then reminded, “The plan is preponed, so you should call Robbie and tell him about it. I’ll go grab my backpack and keep Great-grandpa distracted.”

“Okay,” said Jamie. Then he quickly called Robbie.

Robbie was distracted in class that day. He would check on Fifi every now and then by peeking at his phone.

That idiot is actually resting in a bird’s nest and is on the verge of falling asleep!

Robbie frowned in exasperation, utterly speechless. I knew it. That stinking bird is completely unreliable!

Just then, Robbie’s smartwatch rang. The call was from Jamie.

“Robbie, what are you doing?” said the teacher while frowning at him.

“My baby brother called,” answered Robbie as he showed her his smartwatch. “He doesn’t usually call me at this hour. Something important must’ve happened. I should take this.”

“Alright, then,” the teacher agreed and paused the class.

Robbie walked to the washroom to pick up the call. “Hi, Jamie.”

“Great-grandpa is getting us out of class earlier today, Robbie. It’s likely that he has already sent his men over to take you to Fairytale Land. You will have to bring your plan forward,” informed Jamie, who deliberately spoke softly as he was worried about someone else overhearing him.

“I got it. We’ll proceed in accordance with our original plan,” replied Robbie calmly.

“Be careful. If you come across that eagle, just scream for help. Don’t try to be a hero…”

“Relax… It’s wounded, so it can’t hurt me,” replied Robbie nonchalantly. “You don’t need to worry about me, okay? Just play your part well.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the call, Robbie left the washroom. Cain happened to knock on the door at that moment and informed, “Mr. Nacht has instructed me to take you to Fairytale Land to meet up with them.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 826

“Okay,” replied Robbie, nodding. He then turned to his teacher and said, “Sorry, can we end the class now? You may leave the study materials here. I’ll revise them on my own.”

“Alright,” replied the teacher while giving a wry smile. “These classes are too simple for you, anyway. You no longer need to attend my classes since you can get everything right just by reading the study materials. Looks like we’ll have to make the class more advance.”

“Let’s discuss the matter after my daddy returns. Thank you for your time. They will pay the tuition fee in full,” said Robbie before he signed his name on the teacher’s slip.

“Thank you,” replied the teacher while nodding with a slight grin.

“Please send the teacher home, Mr. Cain,” instructed Robbie.

“I should take you to Mr. Nacht now. I’ll have someone else send your teacher home,” replied Cain.

“The class ended early, so the driver who’s supposed to take the teacher home is still working on something else. You should take the teacher back first. Mr. Kyle can take me over later,” suggested Robbie.

Robbie was polite regardless of who he spoke to, but his clear eyes shone with dominance, which made it impossible for anyone to go against him.

“Understood,” replied Cain immediately. Then he turned to the teacher. “This way, please.”

“Goodbye, Robbie,” said the teacher as she waved goodbye to the little boy.

“Goodbye,” replied Robbie as he watched them leave, secretly sighing a breath of relief.

Robbie sneaked away by feigning a stomach ache the last time Cain drove him home. If Cain chauffeured Robbie again, it was likely that the former would have his guard up, and Robbie wouldn’t be able to sneak away.

That was why Robbie had to send Cain away.

After returning to his room, Robbie changed into a more relaxed outfit. Grabbing the backpack he prepared earlier, he picked up his phone and some tools. He even put on a pair of kids’ sunglasses before he got ready to leave.

“The car is ready,” called out Kyle, who was outside the room.

“Alright, let’s go,” Robbie replied and exited his room.

“Aww, you’re so well-equipped today,” commented Kyle with a smile.

“Fairytale Land recently installed a new climbing wall and a VR game. This outfit will make it more convenient for me to play,” explained Robbie.

He tried to sound as nonchalant as possible so that no one would suspect a word he said.

“I see.” Kyle tried to butter the kid up by adding, “How amazing. Mr. Robbie is not only intelligent but also athletic.”

“Mr. Cain is much quieter,” dissed Robbie before he shot a glare at Cain.

“Um…” blurted Kyle. His face turned red with embarrassment as he kept his mouth shut.

All three kids have inherited the Nacht family’s high IQ and EQ. They have that classic Nacht style where they speak politely but somehow exude a powerful aura…

When they got into the car, Robbie noted that two additional bodyguards were in there. He frowned in annoyance and complained, “We’re just heading over to Fairytale Land. Is it really necessary to have so many people around?”

“Mr. Nacht specifically instructed this,” explained Kyle quickly. “Our main objective is to keep you safe.”

“We were safe… until you made things so high profile. You’ll just attract more attention,” insisted Robbie. “Mr. Cain was always on his own when he chauffeured. Nothing ever happened. Are you not as confident in your fighting skills, Mr. Kyle?”

“N-No, that is not true,” said Kyle before he quickly dismissed the two additional bodyguards. He promised, “Don’t worry. I can keep you safe on my own.”

“Alright, thanks,” replied Robbie before he hopped into the backseat of the car.

Kyle secretly lamented. The kid is only six, but his domineering aura is already overwhelming. Who knows how he’d turn out when he’s older?

In a while, the car slowly headed out of the driveway.

Robbie looked down to check his phone. That stupid Fifi. It’s still napping!

Robbie was utterly speechless. Gah, there is no saying how things are in Northridge right now. Are those people still there? And that ferocious eagle…

Robbie turned on the music on his phone. Boom! The loud music got Fifi to jolt awake from its nap. It fluttered its wings and continued venturing to Northridge.

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 827

Robbie sighed a breath of relief. That stupid Fifi finally started flying again.

It’s my turn to make a move.

“Have some water, Mr. Kyle,” offered Robbie as he handed a bottle of water to Kyle.

“Thank you,” replied Kyle before he drank some water. He later put the bottle at the side and continued driving.

“Mr. Kyle, how many years have you been driving?” asked Robbie as he stared at Kyle’s back.

“Seven years,” replied Kyle with a smile. “I got my license when I was eighteen and have been driving since. It’s not that long, but I’ve driven a lot over the past few years. I am a pretty decent driver, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”

“Then can you instinctively perform an emergency brake?” asked Robbie.

“Of course I can. We have all gone through special training and can stop the car even if we have taken a bullet in order to protect our client…”

Kyle sensed that something was off as he spoke. Then his vision started to blur.

“That’s good to know,” commented Robbie as his lips curved into a faint grin.

“Did you…” said Kyle before he shifted his gaze to the bottle of water at his side. His eyes bulged in surprise when he continued, “Mr. Robbie, you…”

“Don’t worry. I won’t hurt you. Fifi flew away, and I just want to go look for it,” replied Robbie as he put on his backpack. “Please stop the car at the side and take a nap.”

Kyle shook his head in confusion. He took his phone out to call for help, but the next moment, his hand slumped, and he fell backward onto the seat.

Right then, the car swayed a little, but Kyle hit the brakes in the nick of time.

Robbie crawled to the passenger’s side of the car and turned the engine off before he hopped out of the car with his backpack.

They happened to be at the spot closest to Northridge. Robbie had checked the roads the last time, so it would be much easier for him to search the place.

Turning on the navigation system on his phone, he headed over to Northridge.

He was on his way over when Fifi reached Northridge. The camera showed that the courtyard was empty, and there was no car in sight. Moreover, the doors and windows were locked, and there was no one in sight at all.

Robbie paused in his tracks as he frowned at his phone and wondered what was going on. Even if the owner isn’t home, there should still be bodyguards stationed around the place. Besides, they usually have two cars on standby at all times.

Why isn’t there anything today?

Did the ladies move?

Robbie was a little upset, but since he was already out there, he thought he might as well get to the bottom of things. With that, he continued forging ahead to Northridge…

At that moment, Charlotte was in the other villa, sitting in front of the study desk and reading some documents.

Lupine hurried over and reported, “Ms. Lindberg, it is as you have predicted. Someone broke into the Northridge villa.”

“Is it the Nachts?” asked Charlotte without even looking up.

“It’s a kid,” replied Lupine. “He looks about six or seven years old.”

Charlotte was taken aback. Immediately, she turned on her computer to check on the situation.

The villa already came with a lot of security cameras. Despite that, on the night before Charlotte left, she had someone install some additional miniature cameras within a three-mile radius of the villa.

That way, she would be alerted if anyone were to get close to the Northridge villa.

As expected, she saw a boy who was dressed in a cool outfit and carried a backpack on the screen. He was heading straight to Northridge with a black watch on his wrist. The watch was glowing with blue light, and Charlotte guessed that it had a navigation system that was leading the way.

At the same time, the boy had a phone with him. He would check its screen from time to time. It’s likely that he is observing something.

Upon zooming in, she saw that the phone showed the situation at Northridge.

Looks like the phone has a surveillance system.

A kid that young actually knows how to use technology that advanced?

None of that mattered to Charlotte, though. As she stared at that tiny figure, she was surprised by how she felt. Instead of being repulsed, she felt a strange sense of familiarity with the kid.

“Who is the kid?” asked Charlotte as she stared at that tiny figure.

“Morgan is looking into the matter now,” replied Lupine. “The kid is at most six or seven years old. I can’t believe he’s alone in the woods without adult supervision. It’s even weirder that he knows how to use advanced technology like that… Wait, is he…”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 828

Lupine recalled how the Nachts once visited them to tell them off about how the eagle frightened their kids…

“Could he be one of the kids from the Nacht family?” blurted Lupine as the revelation hit her. “That would make him Mr. Zachary’s son!”

Charlotte narrowed her eyes suspiciously and kept her eyes on that tiny figure. Let’s see what this boy is up to…

Charlotte put on her headphones to listen to the boy’s voice.

Robbie had been running, so he panted for breath when he took a break. He took out a bottle of water from his backpack and quenched his thirst before he continued his journey.

While walking, he instructed, “Fifi, don’t just stay on the tree. Circle around the villa so that I can see if there is anyone in the other areas.”

Fifi flapped its wings unwillingly before it slowly soared into the air.

“My gosh, you are so lazy. We really can’t keep you in the cage anymore. You’re getting too lazy,” complained Robbie, who was not satisfied with the parrot’s attitude.

When Charlotte switched the camera view to check the area surrounding the villa, she was surprised to see a small parrot flying around languidly.

“What is that? A parrot?” asked Lupine as she took a closer look.

“Found it,” announced Morgan as she rushed over to report. “Zachary has three children. They’re triplets; two boys and a girl. The girl is the youngest child. Their names are Robinson Nacht, Jamison Nacht, and Elisa Nacht. They also have a pet parrot.”

As Morgan spoke, she took a tablet out and showed Charlotte the kids’ photos in their school records. There was a little parrot resting on a little girl’s shoulder, looking especially cute.

“They are so adorable,” commented Lupine, who took a liking to the kids.

When Charlotte saw the photos, she couldn’t help trembling a little as a strange sensation rose in her heart.

The feeling was so peculiar that she couldn’t put it into words.

“At least now we can be certain that this is Zachary’s son,” said Lupine after she compared the photo against the image on the screen. She then added, “The only question is whether the kid is his eldest son or his second son. After all, both boys look exactly the same.”

Charlotte kept her eyes on the computer. Suddenly, she noticed that the kid was about to step on a cobblestone that was covered with moss, so she quickly ordered, “Turn off the trap. Now!”

Lupine deactivated all the traps immediately.

Right then, Robbie stepped onto something and felt that there was something amiss. He lowered his gaze to take a look before he continued moving forward.

“Deactivate all the traps now,” instructed Charlotte immediately.

“Alright,” replied Lupine as she turned them off one by one. Unfortunately, the child was running very fast, so she had to work so quickly that her fingers started cramping a little.

It took her some time, but all the traps were finally switched off.

When she turned her gaze to the computer, she saw that the kid had arrived safely outside their villa.

The moment Robbie lifted his hand, Fifi flew toward him and landed on the back of his hand, using its furry head to rub against Robbie’s face affectionately.

“I know this has been tough for you. Now you can take a rest.”

Robbie got Fifi some water and food before placing it on his shoulder. After that, he started examining the villa.

He had already seen everything from the camera installed on Fifi, and he was certain that no one was in there.

Looks like the residents have left. Did they move away? Or did they have to go on an urgent business trip?

Robbie looked around, but he didn’t find any camera. Naturally, he understood that affluent families who could afford a place like that would install their security cameras in secluded areas. It won’t be easy for me to find them.

That didn’t matter to Robbie, though.

Since he was already there, he was hellbent on finding out who the owner of the place was.

Robbie got a device out of his bag. After activating it, the hidden cameras surrounding the villa instantly glowed red, and their locations were exposed.

At the same time, Charlotte suddenly heard a piercing sound from her headphones. It was so loud that it almost destroyed everybody’s eardrums…

Lupine and Morgan quickly removed their earpieces and covered their ears. For a moment there, they couldn’t hear anything as their ears were filled with a buzzing sound.

Charlotte covered her ears and frowned at the computer. This irritating kid is good.

Meanwhile, Robbie grinned. I knew it. There are hidden cameras everywhere, and someone is monitoring me in the dark…

At that thought, Robbie stepped forward and waved at the camera outside the villa.

“He found us!” said Lupine in astonishment as her eyes bulged. “That kid is good!”

“How old is that punk? How is he so good at this?” blurted Morgan in a surprised tone. “What does he want?”

“Shut up,” scolded Charlotte.

The two of them stopped talking and put on their earpieces once again.

“I’m sorry for bothering you,” said Robbie calmly as he looked into the camera. “I am not a thief or a villain. I just want to ask you some questions.”

After saying his piece, he got a black gold ring out of his backpack and showed it to the camera before asking, “I found this ring on your pet eagle. May I know how you got your hands on it?”

Charlotte narrowed her eyes in front of the computer and scrutinized the ring…

She was wearing that ring all those years ago when she woke up after her accident. She didn’t know why, but an inexplicable sense of hatred rose in her every time she saw that ring. Yet, she couldn’t throw it away because it linked her to her past and her lost memories.

Hence, she tied the ring onto Fifi the eagle’s leg.

But how did that ring end up with the kid?

“Why is Fifi’s ring with that kid?” said Lupine curiously as she stared at Robbie.

“I think he’s saying something,” murmured Morgan, turning the volume up.

Robbie looked at the camera and shared a series of numbers before saying, “That’s my phone number. I know you can see me, and I’m sure you can hear me too. Please get in touch with me.”

“Did you take the number down?” asked Charlotte.

“No…” said the girls. Neither Lupine nor Morgan took the kid seriously.

“Useless idiots,” scolded Charlotte angrily.

“We’re sorry,” replied the girls apologetically. They both had their heads down and didn’t dare to talk back.

“I’ll repeat again,” said Robbie as he gestured at the camera with his tiny hand. He repeated his number, then added, “Please call me. Thank you!”

Charlotte memorized the number and used an untraceable number to call him.

In no time, Robbie’s phone rang. He suppressed his excitement and picked up the call, “Hello.”

Charlotte shot Lupine a look, and the latter spoke into the phone, “Kid, what is your name?”

“I am Robinson Nacht.”

Robbie never intended to hide his identity because he knew that it was the reason the other party didn’t dare to hurt him.

In fact, he was aware that there were tons of traps on his way over there, and he guessed that the other party had turned everything off in time to let him pass safely.

He’s good. He’s definitely Zachary’s son.

Lupine and Morgan turned to Charlotte.

Charlotte mouthed the sentence and had Lupine say the words, “Why is that ring with you?”

“The eagle was injured the last time I saw it, so I took the ring from it,” answered Robbie calmly. “But I didn’t steal it. This ring belongs to my mommy in the first place, so I am just taking it back on her behalf.”

Hearing those words got both Lupine and Morgan flabbergasted.

Utterly stunned, Charlotte stared at the tiny handsome face on the screen, unable to speak.

Did he just say that the ring belongs to his mommy?

“I’ll be honest. I am here to look for my mommy,” Robbie came clean as he looked at the camera. “She suddenly went missing two years ago. Daddy and I have been looking for her since then. Since you have her ring, you should know where she is. I will be eternally grateful if you share that information with me.”

The kid explained everything clearly.

Both Lupine and Morgan were frozen in place as they stared at Charlotte’s perplexed expression without saying a word.

“Hello? Hello?” called out Robbie. “Are you still there?”

Lupine didn’t dare to say anything and merely looked at Charlotte cautiously.

When she noticed Charlotte mouthing some words, Lupine said, “You should leave the place as soon as possible. It’s dangerous there.”

After that, Lupine hung up the call at Charlotte’s command.

“What is going on?” blurted Lupine. “The kid said that the ring belongs to his mommy.”

“Could it be…” Morgan stared at the photo, then at Charlotte. Deep down, she was tempted to say that she could see the resemblance between Charlotte and the three kids.

“That’s not possible,” insisted Charlotte. Although she suspected that she was their mother too, she quickly dismissed the thought and frowned while adding, “Maybe I killed the kid’s mom? Or maybe I picked up the ring somewhere?”

“Yes, definitely,” replied Lupine as she nodded. “It’s just a small trinket. It doesn’t mean anything.”

“Besides, we shouldn’t take the kid’s words too seriously,” Morgan chimed in.

Charlotte stared at the screen without saying a word. No one knew what she was thinking at that moment.

Meanwhile, Robbie frowned while holding his phone. He didn’t understand why they suddenly hung up.

They don’t seem like they have vile intentions. At the very least, they didn’t hurt me.

But the mystery of the ring remains unsolved.

As Robbie stared at the locked gates, he was tempted to get in and take a look, but that would be inappropriate. Besides, they are watching me via the cameras. I won’t be able to do anything even if I enter the house.

It’d also be dangerous if they think I’ve offended their employer and attack me.

Those thoughts prompted Robbie to turn around and leave with Fifi.

Just then, his phone rang once again. He thought that it was a call from the girls, so he got excited. But when he checked the screen to see that the call was from Henry, his eyes dimmed with disappointment.

“Hello.”

“Robbie, where are you? Are you almost here?”

“We’re on the way and will be there soon,” replied Robbie calmly.

“Good. I had Spencer call Kyle earlier, but no one picked up. I thought that something terrible had happened, so I was so worried.”

“It’s fine. I had a stomachache, so we took a detour. We’ll be there soon. It’d probably take another thirty minutes or so.”

“Alright, have Kyle drive slowly. There’s no need to rush.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Robbie turned to the camera and requested, “Please call me if you ever decide to answer my question.”

After that, Robbie left with Fifi.

As Charlotte stared at the kid’s leaving figure, she finally came around and demanded, “How is the investigation of that matter going? Did you find anything?”

“We don’t know why, but all records, including photos and video footage, of Zachary’s wedding have suddenly disappeared. There is no way of finding them.

“All we know about Olivia is that she studied music, and your father was the one who paid for her university tuition fees. Her mother used to be your family’s nanny.

“That’s all we learned. We can’t find anything else. It’s as if she vanished into thin air after she showed up in Sultry Night that night, and there’s no way of locating her.”

Lupine reported, “But we have Peter with us now. He is still locked in the basement, and you can interrogate him whenever you want.”

“Let’s go talk to him,” said Charlotte as she turned off her computer and got up to head out.

Robbie was disappointed as he returned to the car. He finally got in touch with the mysterious woman, but she didn’t offer any clue or information. Looks like I won’t be able to learn anything using this method.

I will have to find another way to go about it.

“Mr. Robinson!” Kyle rushed over urgently at that moment. “You gave me a fright. I thought you…”

“I told you. I only left to find Fifi,” lied Robbie, pointing at the parrot on his shoulder. “Great-grandpa doesn’t know about this, does he?”

“Not yet…”

“Good,” replied Robbie before he hopped into the car. “Let’s go.”

Kyle then got into the car as well. He carefully inquired, “W-were you really only out to look for the parrot?”
