Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 1696

Danrique was a little surprised. Zachary always had been an arrogant person, and Danrique never took him seriously. No matter what, Zachary was indeed a prominent figure in the corporate world. However, the once insufferable man actually took the initiative to bow his head and confess his mistakes.

It was truly surprising.

“Fortunately, everything has been resolved. I will clean up the rest by myself. I won’t make Charlotte worry anymore!”

Zachary raised his teacup and smiled at Danrique. “Can I have more tea, my dear brother-in-law?”

“Don’t call me that. It sounds awful.”

Danrique frowned. His expressions were cold and arrogant. At the same time, he gracefully lifted the teapot and refilled Zachary’s teacup.

“Haha!” Zachary kept calm and smiled gently. Then, he asked with a concerned look, “How’s the situation at Lindberg Corporation?”

“Everything is going according to plan,” Danrique blurted and was taken aback. He wasn’t supposed to respond to Zachary’s question. However, he involuntarily answered him.

It was probably because Zachary unknowingly broke the ice between them, making them seem like a family discussing family matters.

“That’s good.” Zachary nodded. “If there is anything you need me to do-”

“No.” Danrique interrupted him coldly to establish a distance with Zachary. “We don’t need an outsider to intervene in the Lindberg family matters.”

As he spoke, the air immediately became frigid and tensed.

Suddenly, Danrique had a realization. He said coldly, “Did you put away your pride and deliberately tried to please me so you could have Francesco to continue to treat you?”

“Haha!”

Zachary suddenly laughed as if he heard something funny.

“What are you laughing about?” Danrique frowned.

Zachary slowly took a sip of tea and fidgeted with the teacup. Then, he said amusingly, “You speak as if you have control over Francesco.”

“You!” Danrique was suddenly rendered speechless by his words.

“Francesco is domineering and unruly by nature. It’s not easy to bring her to heel,” Zachary smirked and said, “To deal with her, you have to coax her. Brutish methods won’t work!”

“Nonsense!” Danrique glared at Zachary. “As if you understand her very well.”q
