Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

Chapter 781

“This is our fault, Charlotte. We should have talked with Zachary about this.” Louis looked guilty.

“Please don’t be upset, Zachary. Just see this as a normal dinner. We can talk about work later.”

“I invested ten billion for my shares. This is a fair trade. Why should we delay the talk?” Charlotte shot

back.

“That Koandrian offered fifteen billion for ten percent of the shares, but I refused him anyway.” Zachary

looked at her coldly and asked Louis, “How much did you give her?”

“I…” Louis whispered, “Fifteen percent.”

“Fifteen?” Zachary was vexed. “What do you think this project is? Something you can use to hook up

with the ladies?”

“What nonsense are you spouting!” Charlotte growled. “I might not have much in this project, but I have

my resources! Lindberg Corporation can help this project tremendously!”

“Oh, really?” Zachary arched his eyebrow. “Fine then. We’re planning on expanding this project to

Erihal. We can talk about your participation after you show me Erihal’s authorization letters.”

“Why you…” Charlotte couldn’t argue against that.

“Let’s not fight, Zachary. At least for my sake, okay?” Louis tugged at Zachary, seemingly in a panic.

“The partners are watching. We don’t want to fight in front of them. It’s just a gathering today. We can

talk about the project later.”

Charlotte didn’t interject. She couldn’t afford to enrage Zachary at that point. If he were to voice his

objection, Louis and the partners wouldn’t help her.

Zachary glared at Louis coldly, still irked about his actions. Zachary had a lot of projects on his hand,

and he didn’t need more. The only reason he helped Louis was on the basis of altruism. He didn’t care

about Louis’ royalty status.

Louis had been too sheltered, and he knew nothing about the darkness of the world. He still acted like

a child even though he was already twenty-eight. If he didn’t deliver anything of value, he’d be the

laughing stock of the other royalty members. Worse, he might be stripped of his title.

After what happened that night though, Zachary realized Louis was no more than an incompetent

businessman. What he did was taboo for Zachary. He would not have tolerated it if the guy weren’t

Louis. But he couldn’t bring himself to do it when the kid was pleading with him, and Charlotte being

there didn’t help. Left with no choice, he went along with Louis.

Charlotte was surprised that Zachary would relent. The rumors said he’s cruel and merciless, but he

looks like a nice guy to me. He kept relenting every time we met. What is he trying to do? Is this a trap?

“Be careful, Ms. Lindberg,” Lupine whispered. Even she thought Zachary was being too amicable that

night since Mr. Lindberg would have been yelled at if he was in the same situation.

“Hello, Mr. Nacht.” All the partners greeted him and introduced their partners.

“Greetings,” Zachary replied curtly. He hated formal situations like that, and all he wanted to do was get

away from everyone.

And then one of the partners’ wives asked, “Why did you come alone, Mr. Nacht. Where’s your wife?”

Zachary froze and glanced at Charlotte, who was coming with Louis, and they sat down beside him.

“I saw the news of your marriage two years ago, and it was so touching. You have three beautiful

children, don’t you? Oh, that’s so great.” The lady smiled. “I heard they’re triplets, yes?”

“Yes.” Zachary glanced at Charlotte, whose interest was piqued at the mention of children. “Triplets?”
