Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 1514

Chapter 1514 The Plot

“Are you saying that their plan wasn’t to trick you but to deceive the public and spark outrage?”

The truth finally dawned on Lupine.

“They know how strong your relationship with Mr. Nacht is and the fact that you’re an intelligent and sharp-witted person. Therefore, there was no way they could’ve fooled you with an impostor for long.

“Consequently, they leaked Mr. Nacht’s return to the press, announcing to the world that he isn’t dead and that he was sent to the hospital after suffering injuries in the fire.

“Now that they’ve spread rumors of you holding Mr. Nacht captive to seize the Nacht family assets, no one will believe you if you accuse him of being an impostor.”

“Exactly.” Charlotte’s brows remained tightly knitted.

“What do we do now?” Lupine was worried. “What should we do? This feels like a lost cause.”

“Let’s verify his identity first,” Charlotte asserted. “If he is real, everything would be worth it. Otherwise, we’ll play along and use the situation to our advantage.”

“Play along?” Lupine was baffled as to what she meant.

“No matter what, we can’t alert them yet. All of you should treat him the same way as before and pretend that you know nothing.”

“Understood.” Lupine nodded. “But… will you… be in danger?”

Too embarrassed to be candid, she phrased her question vaguely. She could see that “Zachary” liked to be intimate with Charlotte. Even though he might not harm her for the sake of his plan, he might somehow take advantage of her, complicating matters when the real Zachary returned.

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.” Charlotte was not concerned at all.

Soon, their car arrived at Northridge.

Ever since the fire at Southridge, everyone had moved to Northridge. As for then, Southridge remained sealed.
