Mysterious male escort is a mogul novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108

Zachary stood quietly in front of Charlotte, staring at her with his cold gaze.

She was still unsettled, so she dared not look at him nor utter another word.

In her head, she was going through everything she said just now. This is a thorough story and I didn’t miss anything out, right?

“Mr. Nacht,” Ben quietly interrupted. “The chip was, in fact, swallowed by the kid’s parrot. And they did say that the parrot was sent to a vet. Maybe Ms. Windt and the kid visited the same vet, and found it after the parrot discharged it from its systems.”

“That’s too much of a coincidence, no?” Zachary questioned.

Ben immediately lowered his head and backed away silently.

Charlotte’s mind was in a mess right now. What do I do? If they really investigated the kids, they’ll find me out. Will they think I plotted all this?

“Ms. Charlotte Windt!” Zachary squeezed her chin as he picked her head up. He looked her in the eyes, “If you lied to me, you’re dead!”

“I didn’t...” Charlotte held her breath, it felt like her heart skipped several beats from the shock. She forced herself to stay calm, met his gaze and replied with the utmost sincerity, “I really did not lie to you!”

Charlotte paused for a second, and complained.

“If I knew this would happen, I would’ve just gave it to you directly. You’re always so unpredictable and moody. I was afraid you might doubt my intentions, that’s why I came up with this plan. Logically, I found your chip and returned it to you. I even saved Mr. Sterk’s life! You should be rewarding me right now. But instead, you accused me of stealing and threatened to send me to jail. How am I being blamed for all this...”

As she uttered those last few words, Charlotte forced some tears out of her eyes, feinting innocence. Her lips shivered as though in fear.

Her beady eyes shimmered as her face flushed bright pink from the accusations.

Zachary’s forehead creased as his heart softened.

He caressed Charlotte’s lips with his thumb for quite a while before letting her go. “Leave!”

Her lips twitched as she wiped away the tears before walking away.

Internally, she was ecstatic.

Thank god!
