Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 1743

Sure enough, Charlotte received a call from Sean seven days later who informed her that Danrique intended to transfer some shares in Lindberg Corporation to her and to have her return at once to attend to the paperwork.

Charlotte was most surprised as it was not the first time he had transferred some shares to her. When the company ran into trouble, he had taken back the shares to prevent her involvement.

Fueled by curiosity over Danrique’s uncharacteristic gesture, she pressed for answers to why he might do such a thing. Sean revealed that some of them were her mother’s shares, which rightfully belonged to Charlotte. The rest had been the winnings of a bet placed between Zachary and Danrique.

Furious at the news, she demanded details but Sean remained reticent by merely reiterating his reminder for her to attend to the share transfer paperwork.

After assuring him that she would get around to it, Charlotte called Zachary as soon as Sean departed.

Seeing no way around her blunt questions, Zachary admitted to the wager.

Charlotte lost her temper and yelled at him.

Zachary gave a wry smile at her tirade. “You misunderstood my intentions, Wifey. I placed the bet to propel Danrique into action.”

“He’s like a brother to me!” she snapped. “How could you stand to make a dime on the pretext of helping him?”

“If I had lost, I would still be a man of my word by honoring the terms of the wager.”

“You…”

“It’s under your name now,” explained Zachary patiently. “We would be in a better position to provide assistance if Lindberg Corporation runs into trouble in the future. Isn’t that neat?”

Charlotte’s eyes widened. “I did hear that they have some unresolved issues. As a result of this wager, I would be able to show up as a shareholder and see if there’s anything we can do to help.”

“Lindberg Corporation is in urgent need of equity.” Zachary had already done his homework. “Do what you do best, shareholder. Bring them some money!”

“But I have none!” Charlotte argued. “I’d given it all to Francesca.”
