Chapter 1711 Face It
Everyone in the Nacht residence had their blood tested. Everyone from the master, underlings, bodyguards, and maids. They got their result on the same day. Everything was fine.
However, the incubation period for AIDS was long. The real results might only come out a few months down the line. Charlotte told everyone to be extra careful in the meantime so they won’t infect anyone else. Then she told Raina to send her staff over to check up on them regularly.
She also told everyone to keep the thing about the blood test a secret. “Never in any situation can you talk about it.”
Zachary disagreed. “Why not? We shouldn’t keep it a secret. In fact, we should leak it out.”
“Huh? Why’d you say that?” Charlotte asked, then she realized what he had in mind. “Oh, you want Chris to find out about this so he would go to the hospital?”
“The green snake’s venom is just like flu. It’s not lethal, and he will heal eventually. He won’t die even if he gets no treatment. We don’t know where he’s hiding, and he’s too careful, so we have to come up with a way to lure him out.”
“Oh, yeah!” Charlotte was excited. “I’ll get someone to spread the news right away!”
“Leave it to Bruce. You stay at home.” Zachary didn’t want her to worry. “Get prepared. We’re seeing Danrique tonight, and we need to prepare some gifts.”
“What?” Well, that’s even more of a headache. “What kind of gifts should I get? I don’t think Danrique needs anything.”
“Then give them to Francesca and her kids.” Zachary pinched her cheeks. “You know what they like, right?”
“I do, yeah, but what about Francesca then?”
Charlotte had only met Francesca once, and she didn’t know much about her.
“Anything expensive and valuable item will do.” Zachary smiled.
“I see.” Charlotte nodded and went back home to make the arrangements.
“Slow down. You’re not in any hurry. You’re injured too,” Zachary reminded her gently.
Charlotte waved him down and left in a hurry.
Zachary sent her off and went back to work, then he noticed he had seven missed calls. All of them were from Nancy. He was about to call her back, but she called him again. He took the call immediately. “Hello?”
“Mr. Nacht, this is urgent. Can we meet up?”
“Of course. Come to my office-”
“No, I’m not going to your company. Let’s meet up outside.”
“Fine. How does the restaurant across the company sound?”
“Fine by me. Be there in ten.”
“See you then.” Zachary hung up, and he frowned. He had a guess why Nancy was seeing him, and he knew he must be the one to settle things with her. He took Bruce with him to the restaurant, and he called Charlotte while he was on the way there. “Just ignore Nancy on whatever she does. I will deal with her.”
“Oh, I called her though. I wanted to ask her out and make things clear with her.”
“You can’t make things clear with her. She’s too emotional about this. She won’t be convinced by you.”
“What should I do then?”
“Leave it to me,” Zachary said adamantly. “Just stay back and take care of the kids.”
“Very well then. Be careful.”
“I will.” Zachary hung up and asked Bruce, “Have you found out everything about the girl?”
“Yes. They’re sending the deets over to me. Bruce was holding his tablet, and someone was sending a file over.
When they came to Platinum Café, the first thing they saw was a group of Nancy’s men. She was the head of the Gold family, so it was normal for her to bring a dozen bodyguards around.
However, she covered her head with a veil, and she was wearing sunglasses to up the mystery factor. When she saw Zachary, she quickly stood up to welcome him. She was rather excited. “Mr. Nacht!”
“Sit.” Zachary looked calm. He gesticulated to his underlings. All of them left while Bruce stayed behind.
