Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 1745

“You are the wife of Zachary Nacht,” he declared as he returned her hug. “No spectacle is too grand for you. Besides, you are the second-largest shareholder in Lindberg Corporation! An entourage this size is still not big enough for your worth.”

Charlotte snorted before doing a double-take. “Second largest?” she asked, confused. “How much exactly did Danrique give me?”

“Twenty-five percent, I heard,” Zachary sighed. “My wife is now the richest woman in the world!”

“Rubbish!” Charlotte exclaimed, hardly daring to believe it.

Zachary rubbed her cheeks. “Twenty-five percent of Lindberg Corporation, fifty-five of Nacht Group, and that’s not mentioning me working endlessly to bolster your coffer. Name me another woman in the world of equal wealth to you at this very moment.”

“Twenty-five?” Charlotte repeated in a daze. “Danrique gave me twenty-five percent, you say?”

Zachary nodded patiently. “Yes, my dear. Twenty-five percent. The best part is that your shares are permanently yours now. Danrique had only granted you temporary ownership of the shares the first time you went home, which could be taken away at any time. This time, nobody will have a say in what you do with them.”

Charlotte was visibly nervous. “Twenty percent was left to me by my mother, I understand that. What I don’t understand is how I ended up with the remainder as a result of your wager?”

“You are my wife. Who else is it going to?” Zachary rolled his eyes at her. “I’m actually looking forward to you becoming richer so that I can finally retire. When I do, I’ll be looking to you to feed me!”

Charlotte failed to stifle a laugh. “No pressure, right?”

“Don’t worry,” Zachary reassured her with a peck on her forehead. “Danrique and I have your back. Get it done quickly in Erihal, will you? The wedding will be held on the ninth.”

“What?” Charlotte gasped. “I’m getting married on the ninth? How is this the first time I’m hearing about this?”

“Well, I’m telling you now, aren’t I? I’ve got it all under control, don’t you worry.”
