Although Henry began to reexamine his decision, he was still worried.
“But, even if you hand her to the police, would she be safe then? The police might handle the case impartially. After all, her crimes were committed overseas where the death penalty doesn’t apply. However, if the Lindbergs insist on interfering, they may assassinate her in prison. I might as well take the risk of keeping her safe while I’m still alive.”
“You’re overthinking it.” Zachary furrowed his eyebrows. “Nowadays, the law is very strict. No one is able to interfere, let alone make an assassination attempt in prison. Times are different now!”
Henry figured that Zachary was right. He had been spending too much time overseas where everything was possible with money. He did notice that there were no such practices here.
“All right now, hand her over to me.”
Zachary looked at his watch. Not wanting to delay any further, he opened the door to get out. Suddenly, one of their subordinates rushed over to report, “Mr. Nacht, the Lindbergs are coming!”
“What?” Henry’s face turned pale in shock. He questioned Zachary in exasperation, “Did you-”
“If I were the one who told them, I wouldn’t have wasted so much time trying to persuade you.” Zachary frowned. “Hand her over to me now. There’s still time to send her to the police station.”
Henry was trapped between a rock and a hard place.
At that moment, Spencer advised, “Mr. Nacht, you should trust Mr. Zachary this time. He’s doing this for your own good.”
Henry couldn’t help but sigh. Closing his eyes, he waved his hand. “Fine!”
Just when Spencer opened the trunk to bring Zara out, a gun pointed right at his head.
Aiming the gun at him, Zara gradually got out.
“Ms. Zara, Mr. Zachary is trying to help you,” Spencer appealed with his eyebrows furrowed.
“Help me?” Zara scoffed. “Dad might be taken by him, but I’m not!”
“Zara, you’re a stubborn one.”
Just as Zachary spoke, all his subordinates trained their guns at Zara.
“Did you see that? Does this look like he is helping me?” Zara gritted her teeth and yelled, “Zachary, you ungrateful b*stard. How dare you point a gun at your own aunt over another woman?”
“Did it cross your mind that you are my aunt when you kidnapped my son?” Zachary glared at her coldly. “When you injured Kyle and gunned down my subordinate, did you remember the same? When you ordered Sharon to kill Charlotte and Mrs. Berry in T Nation, did you think of that?”
“That woman’s mother killed your father,” Zara retorted in defiance. “I was doing my duty by exacting revenge for him. And now, you’re blaming me?”
“B*llshit…” Zachary let out a mocking laugh. “You’re actually afraid of the Lindbergs seeking revenge after finding out her identity and the fact that you had poisoned her. Isn’t that the real reason why you wanted to kill her?”
Zara’s eyes sparkled at Zachary’s words. Indeed, when she poisoned Charlotte, she didn’t know Charlotte was actually Isabella’s daughter.
Her original intention was to use the poison as leverage to make Charlotte her puppet so that she could take back the family inheritance. It was only after she realized that Charlotte was Isabella’s daughter that she had her assassinated in T Nation. At that time, she was worried about Danrique finding out what she had done.
However, she didn’t expect Sharon to be so incompetent. Not only was Charlotte saved by the Lindbergs, but they also came back for revenge.
“I’m sparing you on the account that we’re family. If you insist on being stubborn, it will only result in your demise.” Zachary had run out of patience. “Drop the gun at once!”
“You should be the ones to drop it.” Zara took Spencer hostage and bellowed, “Move aside before I blow his brains out!”
