Ch. 861..870
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 861
Charlotte glanced over. A green parrot was flying behind the car, its wings fluttering quickly while it glanced around.
It looked dumb and weak, completely unlike her ferocious eagle.
However, for some reason, Charlotte felt a strange feeling of familiarity with that parrot.
“Why is there a parrot here?” asked Morgan suspiciously. “There are only two families in Rokan Hill. Could it be…”
“We saw this parrot at the hospital the other time.” Lupine recognized it at first glance. “It’s the pet of the Nacth family’s children.”
Charlotte’s expression changed instantly as she quickly pushed the car door open and got out. “Let’s see if the children have come!”
“Understood.” Lupine and the other bodyguards started searching the area.
“Mommy!” When the little parrot discovered Charlotte, it immediately became excited. Flapping its wings, it kept shrieking, “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!”
Then, it flew over and landed on Charlotte’s shoulder. Rubbing its furry head against her cheek affectionately, it mumbled, “Mommy, I miss you…”
It sounded like someone lamenting how much he missed his family.
Charlotte’s heart melted. She reached her hand out and stroked Little Fifi’s feathers. A familial feeling started to surface within her.
“This parrot has such sentience!” Morgan could not help but praise.
At the same time, Robbie was sprinting toward her excitedly. As he ran, he could hear Little Fifi’s voice coming from his phone’s surveillance system. “Mommy! Mommy!”
He immediately stopped in his tracks. Still panting, he opened the surveillance system and took a look. As expected, he managed to see his mother, whom he had missed dearly, from Little Fifi’s view.
“Mommy!” Robbie was excited. Mommy’s really at Northridge!
Charlotte heard his voice coming out of the surveillance device on Little Fifi’s head. She trembled while her heart pounded rapidly against her chest…
“What’s that sound?” Morgan moved closer to hear it. “There’s a mini surveillance device on the parrot’s body! Who installed it?”
“Robbie! Robbie!” shrieked Little Fifi excitedly as it flapped its wings.
Charlotte was filled with excitement. Her child’s voice revived the motherly instincts that had been concealed deep within her. It was an instinct that was embedded within her.
“It’s Mr. Robinson, who barged in the previous time.” Lupine understood immediately. “He is talking to us and running here right now.”
As she spoke, she passed the laptop to Charlotte.
Robbie had just entered the surveillance parameters and was running over excitedly.
“Mr. Robinson is simply too smart.” Morgan was delighted. “He actually discovered where Ms. Lindberg is staying and even came here!”
“Do you want to meet him, Ms. Lindberg?” asked Lupine softly.
Charlotte was slightly hesitant. To be honest, before the truth was uncovered, she did not plan on meeting her children so early. She did not expect that her children would look for her first.
“Mommy, I’m Robbie! Don’t hide from me. Let me see you!”
Robbie’s voice sounded from the surveillance device, sounding like he was on the verge of tears. His voice was charged with anxious longing.
He was afraid that her mother would leave again. By the time he reached there, all he could see was the isolated villa.
Charlotte was moved. Just when she was about to speak…
“Argh!”
Suddenly, a child’s fearful shriek sounded from the surveillance device.
At the same time, the surveillance video on the laptop revealed a tall man clad in black suddenly rushed over and kidnapped Robbie.
When he screamed in fear, the man slapped a hand over his mouth and shoved him into a car.
There were three modified black cars, which were filled with men in black. Two women seemed to be in their company as well.
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 862
“Robbie!” Charlotte ran toward the back of the hill anxiously.
“Ms. Lindberg!” Lupine immediately followed her.
Charlotte quickly rushed toward a military jeep in the garage and instructed her subordinates. “Change the vehicles and follow me.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
With the rest, Charlotte quickly drove to the back of the hill and saw three black cars speeding downhill.
“Chase them now!” she ordered anxiously.
“Yes, ma’am!” The three jeeps chased after the three black cars as quickly as they could.
Charlotte clenched her fists tightly. A murderous glint flashed across her narrowed eyes.
No matter who those people are, I’ll never let anyone who dares to harm my children off the hook.
“Release Fifi and let it track their escape route,” instructed Charlotte.
“Yes.” Lupine immediately instructed those in the villa to release the eagle.
“Screech!”
The loud shriek of an eagle suddenly sounded.
Shocked, Little Fifi flew out of the car in a hurry.
“The parrot!”
Charlotte called out after it, but it flew away without any hesitation.
When she noticed that it was flying back toward the Nachts’ residence, she stopped being worried. “It probably knows how to go home. Let’s save Robbie first! Quick!”
“Yes, ma’am!”
Meanwhile, Jamie and Ellie were frightened by the eagle’s screech and quickly hid behind Marino.
“Don’t be scared! I’m here.”
Marino shielded the two kids as they got into the car. Turning around and glancing at the sky, he saw the eagle at Northridge soaring in the sky and speeding downhill.
“Those women at Northridge released that ferocious bird again. Are they trying to scare Mr. Jamison and Ms. Elisa?” Kyle asked indignantly. “How despicable!”
“Stop talking. Let’s go!”
Marino had a feeling that something major had happened. Feeling anxious, all he wanted to do was to leave as soon as possible.
However, when he got into the car, he realized that Robbie was gone. He searched everywhere anxiously. “Where’s Mr. Robbie?”
“He was in the car just now!” The other bodyguards joined the search worriedly.
“Quick, retrieve the surveillance footage from the car,” urged Marino.
“Okay.” The bodyguards quickly went to retrieve it.
Marino searched the surroundings for Robbie but to no avail. However, he found a trail of footsteps on the other side. Recalling what had happened earlier, he immediately understood. He quickly went into the car and asked Jamie and Ellie, “Jamie, Ellie, do you know where Robbie went?”
“I… I don’t know.” As Ellie did not know how to lie, her eyes sparkled when she spoke.
“I don’t know either,” denied Jamie eagerly.
“Tell me now! Otherwise, something bad will happen!” Marino became anxious. “Didn’t you see the eagle flying just now? If Mr. Robbie meets it, he’ll be in danger.”
“Really?” Ellie became terrified when she heard it, her face turning pale. “Let’s look for Robbie now!”
“You must tell me first! Where did he go?” asked Marino anxiously.
“He went to Northridge to see Mommy…”
“Ellie!” Jamie wanted to stop her, but he was too late.
As Ellie was too worried about Robbie, she blurted out the truth. After realizing that she had said something wrong, she immediately covered her mouth.
“Um…” Marino frowned. Looks like the kids already know Charlotte’s identity.
“I’ll look for him now.” He returned to his senses and instructed Kyle, “Bring Jamie and Ellie back first while I go to Northridge to look for Robbie.”
“This doesn’t seem right…” Jamie looked at his watch and exclaimed, “Robbie’s not at Northridge! He’s heading downhill at a rapid speed.”
“Let me see…” Marino quickly checked Jamie’s watch. “Robbie installed a GPS on your watch. It’s true that he’s heading downhill! Judging from the speed, he’s probably in a car…”
He ordered, “Kyle, send them back while I look for Robbie.”
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 863
“No! We want to look for Robbie!” insisted Jamie agitatedly. “Bring us with you!”
“Stop making a ruckus!”
Before Marino could finish his sentence, a green figure suddenly flew toward them.
“It’s Little Fifi!” yelled Ellie excitedly.
Jamie rolled the car windows down and stretched out his arm. Little Fifi flew over, landed on his hand. With its wings flapping quickly, it shrieked, “Robbie! Robbie! Save Robbie! Bad guy! Bad guy!”
“What does that mean?” asked Marino anxiously.
“Robbie’s been taken away by a bad guy!” Ellie understood immediately and urged the others, “Quick! Save Robbie!”
“Could it be Ms. Lindberg?” mumbled Marino as he frowned.
“Bad guy! Bad guy! Black! Black!” Little Fifi kept repeating those few phrases.
“Those bad guys are clad in black,” translated Ellie.
“Men in black…” A look of terror crossed Marino’s face. “Could it be…”
“Oh no!” Kyle was worried sick. “Get into the car now!”
Everyone clambered into the car and sat there solemnly.
Marino carried Jamie into the Maybach. Using his watch as the GPS, he drove downhill to chase after Robbie.
“Mr. Jamison, buckle up! I’m going to accelerate.”
Marino drove the fastest amongst the bodyguards. Now that he had to rescue someone, he went all out.
“Don’t worry, I’m a man… Argh!”
Before Jamie could finish speaking, the car zoomed off.
He quickly buckled his seatbelt, grabbed the handle and frowned with a serious expression.
How exciting! How thrilling! Looks like the scenes in the movies are real!
He clenched his fists secretly. I’ll be a hero today and save Robbie!
Hugging Little Fifi, Ellie sat in the car. Her face was pale from shock and her eyes glistened with tears.
“Princess Ellie, don’t be scared. We’ll definitely save Mr. Robbie.”
While consoling her, Kyle called Spencer. However, as Spencer’s phone was switched off, he had no choice but to call Ben.
The line was constantly busy. Feeling like he was about to go mad from anxiety, Kyle called Bruce. Still, the call did not go through.
What should I do?
“I’ll call Daddy and tell him to save Robbie!”
Ellie immediately called Zachary, but the line was busy. She tried a few more times to no avail, so she had no choice but to send him a voice message.
“Daddy, Robbie’s been taken away by bad guys! Save him!”
Marino had just reached the foot of the hill when he spotted three cool-looking jeeps chasing the three black cars.
The eagle was circling above the black cars while shrieking threateningly. The drivers were so scared that their cars swerved unsteadily.
“What the heck? Whose limited edition jeeps are those?” A subordinate exclaimed.
“Judging from their driving skills, it’s probably those women.”
Marino had battled Morgan a couple of times, so he knew her technique well. When she drove, she liked to charge forward rapidly and ram into the car in front.
Her direct and confrontational style always made him lose his temper.
However, Marino was applauding her internally this time.
The jeep at the front charged forward like a wild bull, ramming forcefully against the black modified car in front.
A loud crash sounded. The car that had been rammed into shook for a while before driving forward unsteadily.
However, it was still blocking the jeep, stopping it from catching up with the black car at the front.
It was obvious that the driver of the jeep was furious. She accelerated and crashed into the black car forcefully again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The black car lost its direction and swerved out of the curb. It flipped over a few times before toppling over on the roadside.
Meanwhile, the jeep sped forward. The second black car attempted to stop it again, but the jeep drove around it and chased after the car at the front.
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 864
“Wow! That’s some amazing driving skills!” The bodyguard was excited. “Marino, I think the driver’s better than you.”
“Shut up!” yelled Marino before accelerating to catch up with them.
At that moment, the jeep turned around and sped forward rapidly. It stopped horizontally on the road, forcing the black car to come to a halt.
Marino stopped the car nearby, preparing to watch how the scene would unfold before taking action.
The car door opened and Charlotte walked out with a gun. Clad in black, she exuded a cold aura while a sharp glint flashed across her eyes.
Behind her, seven female bodyguards stood in a line and pointed their guns at the opponents’ cars.
In the meantime, Morgan sat in the car and gripped the steering wheel tightly. If they dared to play any tricks, she would kill them all with her jeep.
The jeep was huge, towering over the others like a ferocious beast. The three black cars were nothing compared to it.
At that moment, Charlotte was just like her car. She pointed at the people in front threateningly and ordered, “Get out of the car.”
Inside the car, Shirley was staring at Charlotte in utter astonishment.
“It’s her?” The driver widened his eyes and stared at Charlotte in disbelief. “She’s not dead?”
“Keep an eye on the child,” Shirley instructed the female subordinate at the backseat before getting out of the car.
The other bodyguards followed her out. Including Shirley, there were a total of ten people.
As they outnumbered Charlotte and the rest, they had nothing to fear.
Charlotte narrowed her eyes and stared at the woman coldly. For some reason, there was a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen her somewhere. There were also a few men in the woman’s company that made her feel a weird sense of resentment.
“It’s really her!” A burly man said in a foreign language. “She didn’t die even after getting poisoned by the flame poison?”
“She’s part of the Lindberg Corporation now,” replied Shirley in a deep voice. “Didn’t she lose her memories? Why did she chase after us to save her son?”
“So you’re the ones who poisoned me.” Charlotte understood what they were saying. Narrowing her eyes viciously, she walked toward them. “What a coincidence! Let’s settle our past and present scores all at once!”
“Do you understand what we’re saying?” Shirley was surprised.
When Robbie spotted Charlotte from inside the car, he quickly pulled the hand over his mouth away and yelled, “Mommy!”
Charlotte glanced at Robbie, who was being restrained in the car by the bodyguards, and felt a pang of pain in her heart. Instantly, a sharp look appeared in her eyes and a murderous aura spread over her…
“How dare you touch my son? Do you have a death wish?”
At Charlotte’s command, the eagle soaring in the sky shot over like an arrow and attacked the opponent ferociously.
Shirley quickly raised her gun and shot the eagle.
However, a second earlier, Charlotte had already fired.
A silver bullet shot toward Shirley like a white flash of light and pierced through her wrist.
Blood splattered in the air immediately.
With a loud shriek, she staggered backward and yelled furiously, “Attack!”
The men immediately fired their guns. However, the eagle merely flapped its wings and swept the guns away.
At the same time, Lupine and the others charged forward and attacked the men.
A distance away, the bodyguards of the Nacht family were watching quietly. “Marino, should we help them?”
“Don’t move yet. It’s more important to protect and Ms. Elisa.” Marino frowned. “Keep an eye on them while I rescue Robbie.”
With that, he got out of the car and ran toward the rest.
“I want to go too!” Jamie was about to get out of the car when the bodyguard pulled him back. “Mr. Jamison, don’t fool around! This is a matter of life and death. It’s not a joke!”
“I want to save Robbie…”
From Jamie’s position, he could not see Charlotte clearly. Although he knew that there were some people saving Robbie, he did not know who they were.
“Marino has already gone, so you should just stay in the car. Please be good!”
The bodyguard kept an eye on him closely as he was afraid of Jamie leaving the car.
Meanwhile, Marino dashed over hurriedly, hoping to find the right opportunity to save Robbie.
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 865
The others were still engaged in an intense fight.
Like a fierce eagle, Charlotte sprung toward Shirley with murderous intent.
Although Shirley was injured, she did not show any signs of weakness and started fighting Charlotte.
However, she had underestimated Charlotte…
After exchanging a few blows with Shirley, Charlotte aimed a kick at her and sent her flying away. Shirley collapsed on the ground, clutching her stomach and rolled around in agony.
A man charged toward Charlotte, attempting to attack her. However, the eagle immediately sped over and clawed at his face.
He let out a miserable shriek of pain.
Grabbing that opportunity, Shirley got back up to her feet and pointed her gun at Charlotte.
“Mommy, be careful!” exclaimed Robbie in fear.
Charlotte dashed over like a bolt of lightning and grabbed Shirley’s neck forcefully, pushing her against the car.
She pressed so hard that the gun slipped out of Shirley’s left hand and blood dribbled down the corner of her mouth…
“Close your eyes!” Charlotte ordered Robbie.
He immediately closed his eyes, not daring to watch anymore.
At that moment, Robbie was astonished. Never had he expected that after two years, his initially weak and foolish mother would become so strong…
“Speak! Who was the one who attacked me at T Nation?” Charlotte gripped Shirley’s neck and interrogated sternly, “Tell me honestly and I might spare your life!”
Shirley’s eyes rolled up to her head as she opened her mouth wide. She did not say a single sound.
At that moment, Lupine and the rest had already defeated the other men. Some of them had fainted, while the other two stronger ones were knocked unconscious and dragged to the car. They wanted to capture these men and interrogate them.
“So, you aren’t speaking, huh?” Charlotte shoved Shirley onto the ground. “Fifi, she’s all yours!”
The eagle immediately flew over and clawed at Shirley.
“Argh! Argh!”
She collapsed on the floor and tried her best to defend herself. Shrieks of agony escaped her mouth.
Meanwhile, the female bodyguard in the car with Robbie was already paralyzed in fear.
Marino was about to save Robbie when Charlotte walked over. Hence, he had no choice but to hide behind the car.
Charlotte kicked the female bodyguard out of the car, carried Robbie out and whispered softly, “Cover your ears!”
He immediately covered his ears with his hands and closed his eyes tightly, not daring to open them.
Hugging Robbie, Charlotte turned around and stared at Shirley on the floor. She warned coldly, “If you refuse to speak, it’ll devour you.”
“I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you!” wailed Shirley loudly. “Ms. Nacht is the one who instructs me behind the scenes, and she gets Sharon to do everything.”
“Very well.” Charlotte narrowed her eyes menacingly. “If I had known that it’ll be so easy to get the answer, why did I waste all those efforts investigating?”
“Please spare me…” Shirley knelt on the floor and pleaded pathetically. “Please spare me! I’m just following orders. I’m not the one who injected you, nor am I the one who chased after you in T Nation. Please, spare my life!”
“Fine, I’ll spare you.”
Charlotte whistled.
The eagle released Shirley from its clutches reluctantly. Flapping its wings, it flew behind Charlotte and perched on her head like a dark guardian angel.
It scrutinized the enemies with a vicious gaze. If anyone dared to harm Charlotte, it would shred the person into pieces.
“Go back and tell Zara…” Charlotte stared at Shirley and warned sternly, “I’ll be coming after her to settle the scores soon. Tell her to sleep and eat well for these few days while she’s still alive.”
“Yes!” Shirley nodded vigorously as she scuttled away.
Lupine and the rest cleared the scene up.
Morgan opened the car door to drive Charlotte away first.
She was about to get into the car when suddenly, she heard someone call her from behind.
“Mommy!”
After breaking free of the bodyguard’s grip, Jamie ran over. He wanted to save Robbie, but when he spotted Charlotte mid-way, he was stunned. Filled with shock, he froze for a long time before yelling out in excitement.
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 866
Charlotte paused in her tracks, turned around and saw the child who looked identical to Robbie. His eyes were filled with more emotions and his expression was more dramatic…
She knew that this was her second child.
A surge of emotions filled her heart. The feeling that had been buried deep in her heart was starting to return…
“Mommy…” Jamie ran toward her while crying. As he was too excited, he fell to the ground.
Charlotte quickly placed Robbie in the car before rushing over and helping Jamie up.
“Mommy, you’re back! You’re really back!” Jamie tugged Charlotte and started wailing, “I thought that I’ll never see you again!”
“You fool!” She wiped the tears from his cheek gently. Looking at how adorable he was, she could not help but smile. However, tears glistened in her eyes. “Are you Jamie?”
“Yeah, I’m Jamie! Don’t you remember me anymore, Mommy?” Jamie stared at Charlotte in surprise.
“I remember you, but you look different after growing up.” She pinched his cheeks and carried him into the car. “Be a good boy and let’s leave this place first.”
“Ellie’s still in the car…”
Jamie pointed at the Rolls-Royce behind him.
“Okay, I’ll pick her up now.”
She carried Jamie into the car.
“Robbie!”
“Jamie!”
When the two brothers met, they were exceptionally overjoyed.
“Sit here while I pick Ellie up.”
Charlotte closed the door and was prepared to go to Ellie.
“Ms. Lindberg!” Lupine suddenly exclaimed, “There’s a huge fleet of cars rushing toward us. They’re probably Zara’s men.”
“Let me take a look.” Morgan jumped onto the car. When she peered through the binoculars, a shocked look crossed her face. “There are a dozen cars armed with heavy-duty weapons! Let’s go first, Ms. Lindberg.”
“Okay.” Charlotte made a signal with her hand. Immediately afterward, Lupine and the other bodyguards got into the car.
“Wait a moment…” At that moment, Marino rushed over and said anxiously, “Return Mr. Robinson to me!”
“What do you mean by that. He’s Ms. Lindberg’s child,” bellowed Morgan furiously. “Get lost, or don’t blame me for being rude.”
“You…”
“It’s not the time to argue about this,” interrupted Lupine urgently. “Zara’s rushing over with a lot of people. You should leave as soon as possible! It’ll be foolish to stay here.”
When Marino heard that, he had no choice but to leave.
“What happened? Where’s Mr. Robbie?” Kyle rushed over.
“The Lindberg family took him away.” Marino’s expression was grim. “Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on him? Why did you let him escape?”
“I was looking after Princess Ellie…” Kyle was so angry that his face flushed. “Oh no! Not only did we fail to save Robbie, but we also lost Jamie!”
“Cut the crap and let’s leave now,” urged Marino. “Ms. Nacht’s rushing over with a lot of men. I’m afraid that an intense fight will break out inevitably. Since Mr. Nacht’s not here, we should leave first.”
“Okay.”
They got into the car and sped uphill.
On the other side, the jeeps fled toward the wilderness. Their jeep could traverse all sorts of environments, so even if there were no roads, they could still forge their own paths.
However, the Nacht family’s cars could not.
Marino drove back hurriedly. At that moment, a dozen black modified cars drove up the hill. They surrounded the Nacht family’s cars, trapping them there with no route of escape.
“Oh no! Call Mr. Nacht now!” urged Marino anxiously.
“I’m calling him…” Kyle was in such a hurry that his hands trembled. “Is their target us or the Lindberg family?”
“Obviously, it’s us!” Marino’s expression was very serious. Feeling extremely anxious, he said, “Ms. Nacht’s risking it all. She probably heard that Mr. Henry is severely ill. Hence, she plans on kidnapping the three kids and holding them hostage, so she can force Mr. Nacht to give up his inheritance!”
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 867
“This time, Ms. Lindberg barged into the situation without knowing what was going on. Ms. Nacht has never expected that she would provoke her. Luckily, Ms. Lindberg came with her gang. Otherwise, the few of us would not be sufficient to save the kids. However…”
Marino’s frown deepened as he watched as the jeep zoomed away. “Since they’ve already brought the two boys away, I’m afraid that they won’t return…”
“Mr. Marino, what happened? Where’s Robbie and Jamie?”
Ellie rolled the car windows down, poked her head out and asked anxiously.
“Get in quickly!” Marino yelled quickly, afraid that someone would discover her.
At that moment, the windows of the jeep rolled down. When Charlotte spotted Ellie in the car, she instructed, “Go back!”
“Ms. Lindberg, Zara’s leading the team personally. There are so many people with her, so I’m afraid that we can’t defeat them. Let’s not jump into a dangerous situation. We should leave first instead!”
Lupine urged anxiously, “We’ve already saved the two boys. Next time, we…”
“I told you to go back!” growled Charlotte angrily.
“Okay.” Lupine fell silent, not daring to utter a single word.
Morgan glanced at the rearview mirror and instantly made a U-turn.
The other two jeeps followed behind. Charlotte ordered, “Call for more backup!”
“Yes.” Lupine immediately informed the rest.
Meanwhile, Marino’s car was forced to a stop by Zara’s fleet of cars. There were thirty black modified cars in front and behind them, surrounding them completely.
Marino had worked for Zachary for many years, but this was the first time he faced such a serious situation. However, he was well-trained, so he did not panic. Instead, he instructed the other six bodyguards, “Protect Ellie at all costs! Kyle, follow me out!”
“Huh? Only me?”
Kyle was so scared that his face turned pale and his voice trembled.
As he had always been working for Henry, things were peaceful and nothing major ever happened.
Hence, he was terrified now.
“You’re working for Henry, so Ms. Nacht will naturally be warier of you.”
Marino was very calm. When he was alighting the car, he sent an S.O.S signal, which would be received by Bruce and Ben quickly.
“Oh.”
Kyle got out of the car, still scared.
Marino followed him down without holding any weapons.
The convertible top of the car opposite them opened slowly.
Zara was wearing a black suit, looking cold and arrogant. Sitting beside the driver’s seat, she raised her eyebrows and remarked, “Since we’re from the same family, I don’t want to resort to violence. Hand us the three kids and get lost.”
“Haven’t you received the message, Ms. Nacht?” Marino retorted curtly, “Your subordinate, Shirley, has already been captured by the Lindberg family. They took the kids away too.”
“What?”
Zara narrowed her eyes hostilely. It was evident that she was still oblivious to the fact that Shirley had been defeated by Charlotte.
“Ms. Nacht…”
At that moment, a miserable cry sounded from afar.
Zara spun around to look.
Blood was dripping from the wounds all over Shirley’s body. She stumbled over and wailed, “Ms. Nacht, save me! She’s back! She’s back to take revenge!”
“Who is she?” Zara frowned.
“She… She…” Shirley trembled as a look of utter terror crossed her eyes. “Charlotte Windt whom we have killed. She’s back!
“Are you talking about Charlotte Lindberg?”
Zara had already heard from Sharon that Charlotte Windt had returned as Charlotte Lindberg.
Previously, she had dispatched some men to investigate the truth of that matter, but Zachary intercepted them.
Hence, she did not know if the information was true or not. However, she was certain now.
At that moment, the loud screech of cars interrupted Zara’s thoughts. When she turned around, she saw three jeeps driving over.
A ferocious eagle perched on the hood, its eyes filled with murderous intent. Blood dripped from its wings, sharp beak and claws.
“Argh!” When Shirley saw the eagle, she fell onto the ground in terror and relayed Charlotte’s message, “S-She said that she’ll be coming after you to settle the scores soon. She says that you should sleep and eat well for these few days while you’re still alive!
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 868
“In that case…” Zara narrowed her eyes and asked coldly, “She already knows who’s behind the attack at T Nation?”
“Y-Yes, she does…” stuttered Shirley.
“Very well.” Zara turned around and stared at her with a vicious gaze.
“Please spare me, Ms. Nacht!”
Bang!
Before she could finish her sentence, Zara sent a bullet flying through her brain.
Everyone was taken aback.
Marino widened his eyes in surprise and stared at Zara in disbelief. Even though Shirley was her closest assistant, she still showed no mercy…
“People who betray me will end up like her!” bellowed Zara angrily.
“We will never betray you, Ms. Nacht,” chorused her subordinates who were standing behind her.
At that moment, the jeeps arrived and stopped in the same row as the Rolls-Royce cars. It was obvious that they were determined to protect the children inside the cars.
Zara wiped her hands with some wet wipes before getting out of the car, exuding an arrogant aura. There was a cunning smirk playing on her lips.
At the same time, the jeeps stopped. Charlotte got out of the car with Lupine and the rest.
The rivals had finally met. The atmosphere was suffocating like the quietness before a tempestuous storm.
Charlotte narrowed her eyes menacingly as she stared at Zara.
Memories surged through her brain. Those scenes of being bullied flashed across her mind, like snapshots in a movie. All of them were now crystal-clear…
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Lindberg!” Zara raised her head and smiled widely. “I’ve just met Mr. Lindberg a few days ago-”
“The Lindberg family will never acquaint ourselves with despicable people,” Charlotte immediately interrupted her and raised her eyebrows coldly, “Furthermore, we share an extremely deep grudge!”
“That b*tch’s just spouting nonsense.” Zara pointed at Shirley and explained, “When you got into an accident two years ago, I was in M Nation without even leaving the place. It has nothing to do with me. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Zachary. He’s been investigating it…”
“You don’t need to explain yourself, Ms. Nacht,” Charlotte smirked mockingly before she continued, “Since I don’t have any evidence yet, I won’t take any actions against you. But if I find out the truth one day, I will make everyone who had harmed me pay the price!”
“That’s true…” With her tough mindset, Zara did not panic at all. Instead, she agreed indignantly, “Anyone who dares to harm someone from the Lindberg Corporation is seeking death!”
“Cut the crap.” Charlotte could not be bothered to keep up the act with her. “Leave with your men right now!”
She was acting extremely arrogant right now because she knew clearly that Zara would not dare to make enemies with the Lindberg family.
Zara had already spent most of her efforts battling Zachary. If she offended the Lindberg Corporation now, she would be doomed.
Zara’s grudge with Charlotte had to be resolved one day. However, before she secured the position as the heir of the Nacht group, she did not dare to do anything reckless.
Even if the rage was unbearable, she had no choice but to tolerate it…
“You’re going overboard, Ms. Lindberg.”
It was not easy to deal with a cunning woman like Zara. Raising her eyebrows, she said coldly, “I didn’t say anything when you harmed my subordinates, but I’m teaching the Nacht family’s subordinates a lesson now. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to interfere?”
“I don’t care what you’re going to do with those men. However, the three kids are mine. No one is allowed to touch them!”
Charlotte made a gesture with her hand.
Immediately, Lupine and Morgan walked to the Rolls-Royce and were about to open the car door.
“What are you doing?” The Nacth family’s bodyguards quickly aimed their guns at them.
“Let them take Ellie away!” Marino yelled anxiously.
Although Zara did not dare to go against the Lindberg family, it did not mean that she would not touch the Nacht family.
Furthermore, as Zara had also brought so many people with her, Charlotte could not resort to sheer force.
In this dire situation, Marino could not worry about anyone else including himself, he just wanted to ensure the children’s safety.
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 869
Although Zara was unwilling to back down, she did not dare to oppose Charlotte. Scoffing coldly, she said, “Ms. Lindberg, does Mr. Lindberg know that you have three kids?”
“That’s none of your business.”
Charlotte did not want to entertain her at all. If the three kids were not there and she had enough manpower, she would have attacked Zara there and then!
“Mr. Lindberg doesn’t know that the three kids are part of the Nacht family too, right?” A meaningful smirk played on Zara’s lips. “What would he do if he were to find out?”
When Lupine and Morgan heard that, their expressions changed and they shot Charlotte a conflicted look.
Although Charlotte seemed calm on the surface, a turmoil of emotions was surging within her.
Danrique was cold and merciless. When he interacted with others, he only cared about how he could benefit from them, and never about his relationship with them. In order to secure his position as the heir of the Lindberg Corporation, he even harmed his own brother!
This was an unspoken secret in the corporate world.
The only reason why Danrique was nice to Charlotte was that her mother, Isabella, had brought him to the Lindberg family when he was abandoned on the streets.
Although everyone in the Lindberg family looked down on him and insulted him, only Isabella tried her best to protect, nurture and guide him.
Unfortunately, Isabella got into an accident when he was only ten years old.
As he could not repay her favor, he could only transfer his gratitude to Charlotte.
However, this did not mean that he would tolerate it if Charlotte fooled around, especially since the three kids were part of the Nacht family…
The conflict between the Lindberg and Nacht families was unavoidable.
With the three kids, the relationship between the two families would be even more ambiguous. The next generation would be affected and more trouble would arise…
In order to prevent future troubles, he might…
When these thoughts flashed across Charlotte’s mind, she got panicked for a while. However, she soon calmed herself down and stared at Zara coldly.
“I’ll naturally inform my brother about this, so you don’t have to care about it. Instead, you should think about how to snatch the inheritance from Zachary.”
As she spoke, she made a gesture.
Lupine carried Ellie, who was trembling in fear, out of the Rolls-Royce and was about to place her into the jeep.
Ellie was so scared that she covered her face and sobbed softly in Lupine’s arms.
“Don’t be scared, Ellie.” Robbie and Jamie got out of the car to welcome her.
Lupine and Morgan quickly carried the three kids into the car.
Zara watched as Charlotte brought them away. Now that she had lost her last bargaining chips, she could only clench her jaw in fury.
When Charlotte turned around to get into the car, a gunshot suddenly sounded behind her.
A shiver ran down her spine as she spun around and widened her eyes in surprise.
Zara actually killed a bodyguard from the Nacht family!
A young man, who was barely twenty years old, collapsed in a pool of blood.
“Argh!”
When Ellie witnessed this scene, she was so scared that she screamed and trembled uncontrollably.
Even Jamie was terrified. His knees buckled and he crumpled to the ground, tears streamed down his cheeks.
Meanwhile, Robbie widened his eyes as he gaped at that bodyguard in utter shock. He was so aghast that he went stiff on the spot.
These bodyguards had been with them for a long time. Now that one had died in front of their eyes, the three kids almost had a mental breakdown.
“You…” Marino was so stunned that his jaw fell open. “You actually…”
“I might not dare to touch the Lindberg family, but I can kill these bast*rds from the Nacht family.”
Zara’s expression was twisted with menace and hostility.
“You’ve crossed the line!” Kyle shuddered in shock. “I’m going to tell Mr. Henry.”
With a loud bang, another gunshot sounded.
Zara shot Kyle’s right leg.
“Argh!”
Shrieking in agony, Kyle fell to the ground. He was in so much pain that his cheeks turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and refused to make a single sound.
“You’ll be next!” Zara raised her gun and pointed at Marino.
“No!” Jamie suddenly climbed to his feet and dashed over agitatedly.

“Jamie…”
Before Charlotte could react, Jamie shielded Marino and spread his arms apart. He yelled angrily, “You’re not allowed to kill or touch anyone from the Nacht family!”
Gazing into Jamie’s clear eyes, Zara could not help but feel stunned.
She suddenly remembered that more than twenty years ago, the younger Zachary had once protected her like this before…
“Daddy’s going to come soon! If you dare to kill anyone from the Nacht family, he won’t spare you.”
Robbie rushed over bravely. Standing beside Jamie, he glared at Zara defiantly.
“There’s Great-grandpa too! If he finds out that you’re doing something so horrible, he won’t forgive you!”
“Bad guy! Bad guy!”
Ellie was so terrified that her face turned pale and she burst into tears.
Flapping its wings, Little Fifi mimicked her cries. “Bad guy! Bad guy!”
“Mr. Robinson, Mr. Jamison, please leave! It’s dangerous!”
Marino was so touched that his voice cracked. He shielded the two kids behind him, afraid that they would be affected.
“They’re young but brave.” Looking at the two kids, Zara smirked coldly. “It’s a pity that they’re too dumb to see through the situation.”
“Who are you calling dumb?” Charlotte walked over slowly and stared at her coldly.
“It’s none of your business.” Zara raised her eyebrows frostily. “I didn’t touch the three kids out of courtesy for you. Now, I’m going to kill the bast*rds from the Nacht family. If you still try to intervene, don’t blame me for getting hostile.”
“Hypocrite!” Charlotte was disgusted by her fake pretenses. “You shot them right in front of me so you can force me to intervene, right?”
It was true. Only then could Zara find an excuse to fight with Charlotte. Even if Danrique confronted her about it, she could say that Charlotte had intervened in the Nacht family’s matters first. If she exaggerated Charlotte’s ambiguous relationship with the Nacht family, she could excuse herself from all responsibilities.
“After changing your last name, you’ve become smarter, huh?” Zara smirked. “Since you understand everything, why don’t you leave right away?”
“Ms. Lindberg…” Lupine persuaded her softly, “This evil b*tch is trying to provoke you. Don’t fall for her trap! Let’s leave with the kids first.”
Morgan, who would always chime in, was surprisingly silent. When she saw Marino in danger, she felt sympathetic.
“Mommy, save Mr. Marino!” Jamie tugged Charlotte’s shirt and stifled a choke. “He trains with me every day and is my friend. I don’t want him to die!”
Naturally, Charlotte knew how to weigh the situation, and look at the bigger picture. However, when she met the children’s pleading gazes and thought about the young lives that might be lost, she relented.
“Get into the car first.” Charlotte shot the rest a glance.
Morgan and two female bodyguards immediately carried Jamie and Robbie into the car.
“Mommy…” Jamie stared at Charlotte with tears welling up in his eyes, which were filled with a pleading look.
As Robbie knew that she was in a difficult position, he did not say anything despite his urge to save Marino.
“Trust me.” Charlotte patted Jamie’s head gently. “Be a good boy and get into the car.”
Only then did Jamie enter the car with Robbie…
“Jamie, Robbie, I’m so scared!”
Ellie jumped into their arms when she saw her brothers.
“Don’t be scared! Mommy’s here, so we’ll be fine.”
Robbie quickly hugged her and consoled her patiently.
Meanwhile, Morgan closed the car doors so the kids would not be scared.
After seeing that the kids were safe in the car, Charlotte raised her gun and aimed it at Zara arrogantly. “Looks like this is my business, after all.”
“Interesting!” An exciting look glinted in Zara’s eyes. “Do you know that initially, I thought that you’re too weak to even put up a battle? Now, things are getting so exhilarating! This is truly a battle between two power towers!”
