Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1378
“Mr. Nacht, I just looked into the matter and it is as Ms. Gold had said. Sir Louis is missing, and he was diagnosed
with depression. It seemed that the family is hiding a huge secret as well,” reported Ben hurriedly at that moment.
“I want the specifics! D*rn it, is that all you have to tell me after I told you to investigate the matter?” scolded
Zachary.
“Right, of course. I’ll further investigate the matter…”
“Leave!”
Zachary was losing his temper and was getting frustrated again.
His most recent injury showed him that Charlotte still cared, and their relationship was getting better.
However, he learned about how there was a secret between Louis and Charlotte. That got him agitated once more.
He thought about what he saw at the time in the hotel in Arkfield, and a sting ambushed his heart. It hurt so much
that he felt like he was suffocating.

wanted to warn you,” said Nancy while staring apologetically over.
“I understand. Thank you,” replied Zachary. He regained his footing and added, “I have been busy working on my
own matter lately and forgot about keeping an eye on the situation. Hence, I’m glad you reminded me.”
“I’m just doing my part,” replied Nancy as she stared lovingly at him, “By the way, my project is kicking off on the
first of next month. I’ll throw a banquet then. If you recover by then…”
“There’s still nine more days till the banquet. I should be fine and will be there,” promised Zachary.
“That’s good to know,” said Nancy while smiling happily. She handed the invitation card to him and added, “We’ve
only invited thirty guests for this event, and they are all business tycoons. My father will be there too. You’ll be the
most prestigious guest we have there, though, so I truly wish to see you there.”
“Okay, I’ll be there on time,” replied Zachary as he accepted the invitation card.
“Then I better leave now so that I won’t disrupt your rest,” said Nancy as she stood up and added in a concerned
tone, “You must rest well. If you haven’t recovered when the month ends, maybe…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be there,” promised Zachary once again.
“Pinky promise,” requested Nancy before she extended her hand to him.
Zachary was slightly taken aback, but he eventually reached out and gave her a pinky promise.
Nancy grinned gleefully before leaving reluctantly.
Ben walked her out, then returned to the study room to share the fruits of his investigation with Zachary. “For now,
all we can figure out is what Ms. Gold had just shared with us. The Laurent family is keeping the secret well hidden,
so it will take us some time before we get to it,” reported Ben.
Zachary didn’t even bother reading the file handed to him. He tossed it aside and got up to return to his room.
Unfortunately, the pain from his injury was too severe, and he turned pale from it.
“Mr. Nacht…” said Ben as he hurried over to help Zachary up.
Zachary crouched down but had one hand on the sofa to support himself. He put his other hand on his head. The
pain he experienced was so sharp that it got him to distort his face.
“I’ll go get Raina over right away…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBen thought that the source of Zachary’s pain was the injury on his head, so the former rushed to call Raina.
“No!” halted Zachary. He reached out to stop the guy, then fell onto the sofa and said, “It’s not my injury. It’s…”
The pain was so intense that Zachary couldn’t even finish speaking. He gritted his teeth and leaned against the sofa
as his sweat dripped down.
“Is the poison acting up again? How did this happen? It had never hurt you that badly before, so why… Mr. Nacht?
Mr. Nacht!”
Zachary fainted on the sofa before Ben could even finish speaking.
That prompted Ben to call Raina immediately. The latter was staying in Southridge, so she was quick to show up
with her medical staffs.
Marino, Cain, and the others kept the kids away from the room. They made up some excuses and banned the
children from entering the room because they didn’t want to traumatize the kids.
Raina and her team started treating Zachary right away. They treated his issue as an emergency.
Ben stood at the side and was so worried that he was trembling. This can’t go on. If things keep progressing this
way, Mr. Nacht might actually…
As Ben walked away, he dialed Lupine’s number. He couldn’t reach her, though.q
