Chapter 1331
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
After the inhumane treatment period and various other events, Zachary no longer cared much about life, death, and sickness.
He was no longer as despondent as he used to be, and he was no longer anxious. Instead, he calmly let nature run its course.
Zachary, who was on the couch, calmly instructed, âFind an instructor who can guide me through the blindness.
From tomorrow onward, Iâll have to train myself to move around without relying on my sight. That way, Iâll have the freedom of movement even if I really go blind in the future.â
âMr. Nacht.â Benâs eyes were red from hearing his words, but he dared not say anything else. âI understand. Iâll work on it tomorrow.â
âAbout the appointment with Mr. Williams and Mr. Spencer, do separate their appointments. I want to meet them one by one,â Zachary continued, sounding like he was talking about his last words.
âI understand.â Ben nodded.
âThereâs something else.â Zachary mulled over it for a while before saying, âCheck on Danriqueâs status.â
âHuh?â Ben was surprised.
Zachary and Danrique were archenemies. When news of Danriqueâs incident spread, there were rumors in the corporate world that Zachary was involved in what happened to Danrique.
Zachary did not care about it, nor did he intervene in it. Nevertheless, he knew that Danriqueâs trusted subordinates were investigating him in the shadows, hoping to find out if he was involved in Danriqueâs incident.
Zachary had not been involved. Furthermore, he had been undergoing treatment in solitary, so he never appeared in public. Therefore, no one could find any evidence of his involvement.
However, for him to abruptly look into Danriqueâs whereabouts might cause an uproar in the corporate world.
âDo everything to find out about Danriqueâs current status,â Zachary ordered.
âUnderstood, but I have to ask⦠Why?â
Ben dared not disobey him, but he could not wrap his mind around why Zachary would do that.
âHave you seen how many people have added insult to injury after Lindberg Corporation went downhill?â
Leaning back on the sofa, Zachary lit a cigarette and inhaled it.
âBefore anything happened to Danrique, he removed Charlotteâs ties to Lindberg Corporation before making arrangement for her and the children. As far as I know, he has been a good and loyal brother to Charlotte. If heâs back unharmed, then Charlotte and the kids will have someone to back them up. After all, many vultures would be eyeing the assets that theyâre holding.â
âMr. Nacht, what is the meaning of this?â Ben panicked. âYouâre still fine. Nacht Group is still all right!â
âIf I die, Nacht Group will spiral into chaos,â Zachary quietly said, a hint of sorrow in his tone.
Instantly, Benâs eyes welled up with tears. His lips trembled, and the words died in his throat.
âWhat happened to Lindberg Corporation yesterday will happen to Nacht Group in the future,â Zachary added before taking in a deep breath of his cigarette and slowly huffing it out.
âIf Grandpa was alive, perhaps it would have lasted a few more years. However, he is not. If I die, Nacht Group will be orphaned. Most importantly, Charlotte has not come back yet. Her current identity would not be appropriate for taking over Nacht Group.â
âWhy donât weâ¦â Ben trailed off, losing all courage to say it out loud.
âAll right. You can go back to your work.â Zachary wanted some time alone.
âYes, Sir.â Ben hung his head and left.
âHowâs Mr. Nacht?â Bruce asked in a quiet voice that could not conceal his anxiety. âI came back right after receiving the message. How is he now?â
Ben then pulled him to the side and conveyed Zacharyâs order to him.
âIs that how serious Mr. Nachtâs condition is now?â Bruce was alarmed to hear that. âHeâs planning for his posthumous matters?â
âPah!â Ben spat. âB*stard, canât you say anything nicer with that mouth of yours?â
âWait, but what youâve said areâ¦â Bruce dared not repeat himself, but he could not calm himself down. âNo. Even if I turn this world upside down, I have to find where Francesco is.â
