Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby novel Chapter 328

"Why would he try to harm them?" Michael asked. "You have to help me understand this so I would be better positioned to talk to Old Mr. Nacht."

"Zachary had mistakenly believed..." Charlotte looked at him in embarrassment. "That they are yours."

"What?" The man was quite astounded and took a moment to recover. "No wonder he's so hostile every time we crossed paths. He acts as though he wants me dead."

"I'm so sorry, Michael, for dragging you into this mess," Charlotte said in remorse.

"No. You did the right thing."

Michael then took the time to analyze it critically.

"Although it was reasonable for him to be angered by something like this, a rational person would not hurt you out of jealousy, much less go out and kidnap your children. His actions proved that he's violent and paranoid to the extreme. You have done well to keep your children and yourself away from him."

"It was never my intention to use you as a shield..." Charlotte explained. "He kept pressing when he found out about the existence of the kids. It was just coincidental that Mr. Brown and you showed up at his place and led him to the wrong conclusion about you. I had no choice but to go with the flow then, but I really tried to distance myself to avoid implicating you. Unexpectedly, his misunderstanding has only deepened since, so much so that it gave you distress every single time. I am sorry, I truly am..."

"It doesn't matter," Michael replied nonchalantly.

"There wasn't much he could do beyond hitting me in the face. However, you've had no end of trouble since getting mixed up with that man. It would be better if you steered clear of him." "I wish I could, but what am I to do now?" Charlotte was slightly panicky. "Do you think he would harm the children?"

"Try to calm down first. I'm going to call old Mr. Nacht right away," Michael said as he got onto his feet. "Stay home and rest up. I'll call as soon as I have news."

"I'm coming with you." Charlotte tugged at him. "I can't rest easy until I see my children."

"Alright." He held her tightly. "Put on an extra layer. I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay."
