“This is the footage from the car Marino was driving. It recorded everything.”
Ben had already sent the footage to the tablet.
Zachary took the tablet and got into the car. He watched the footage as he listened to Marino’s report on the matter.
Zachary, Bruce, and Ben were all shaken to their core when they finished watching everything.
“Holy moly, Ms. Windt is so strong now,” praised Ben from the bottom of his heart, “She is completely different from the woman she used to be two years ago!”
“I know, right?” blurted Bruce, who was a little excited as well. “I feel so fired up after watching this footage. It’s too bad I wasn’t there earlier. If I were, I would’ve stood beside Ms. Lindberg and fought Zara with everything I have.”
Bruce was no longer addressing Zara in a formal or respectful way because he thought that she was no longer worthy of it.
Kidnapping her nephew’s kids, killing her own people… She is not worthy of being treated like a human after everything she did.
“Ms. Lindberg could’ve left earlier, but she ignored the bad blood between us and risked her life to save us…” shared Marino before he added, “I feel so bad now. If the opportunity ever presents itself, I will surely repay her kindness.”
“I have told you this. Ms. Lindberg might have changed her name, but she is still the kind and honorable person she has always been. It’s worrisome, though. She helped us today and will probably get in trouble because of it,” said Bruce.
“Yeah, the consequences will be dire if Danrique finds out about this…”
Ben’s eyes glowed with worry as he stared at Zachary.
Zachary kept quiet and seemed burdened…
The three men stopped talking because they worried that they’d disturb him.
Just then, the rain started pouring. The water droplets slid down and drenched the green around them. The surrounding trees also swayed as the wind blew at them. It seemed that even nature itself was anxious about the future.
Zachary kept staring out the window without saying a word.
Beep!
Bruce’s phone suddenly rang. He picked it up, and that got his expression to turn grim. He immediately reported to Zachary.
“Zara fled. The police said that they have to investigate the matter and find clues before they report to the higher-ups. Only then will they be able to apply for a warrant.”
“It’ll be too late by then! If Zara actually inherits Nacht Group during this period, she will destroy all the evidence, and there will be nothing they can do!” growled Ben while frowning.
“That is why she has the guts to act so recklessly,” said Zachary, who had been quiet the entire time. He was calm when he pointed out, “We can’t really blame the police, though. This is way beyond their pay grade, so it’s understandable that they are cautious.”
“Then… what do we do now?” asked Bruce carefully.
“There are internal problems and external threats looming over us,” commented Zachary before he sighed and added, “We’ll just have to solve the issues one by one.”
“We’ve already handled the media, and the news about you and Ms. Blackwood has been taken down from the internet. Unfortunately, the netizens are now claiming that you are trying to dump Ms. Blackwood because you fell for someone else. In short, this incident has caused a huge problem for you and Divine Corporation,” reported Bruce softly.
“Taylor called once more. He wanted to talk to you. I think the Blackwoods are going to stick to you like parasites,” informed Ben while frowning.
“Darn it, things would be bad regardless of what you do now,” replied Bruce, who couldn’t help dissing, “I can’t believe I thought that Taylor is a reasonable man. Turns out, he is pretty devious.”
“Send our men to check up on Sharon,” instructed Zachary all of a sudden.
“Huh?” blurted Bruce before he nodded and replied, “Understood.”
“Call the headquarters and have them send the funds over to help Synder Group out,” ordered Zachary again.
“Huh? But…” blurted Ben. He thought he had misheard his employer at the time.
“Just do as I say,” demanded Zachary.
“Understood,” replied Ben. He quickly did as requested. The board of directors was surprised when they heard the news.
It didn’t take long before Johann called in person to confirm the instruction from Zachary. The latter simply replied, “Yes, that is my instruction.”
