“That heartless woman… She attended an opening ceremony while her own daughter’s life was at stake?” Zachary shouted angrily through clenched teeth.
Ben froze as he wasn’t expecting him to get so furious.
Taylor happened to overhear the conversation as he came into the ward and defended Charlotte. “Maybe she doesn’t know about Ellie’s condition…”
“I told her about it myself, so there’s no way she wouldn’t know!” Zachary had rage written all over his face.
“Um… Maybe she has her reasons…” Taylor said with a troubled expression.
“Yeah! The South Sea project cost Lindberg Corporation hundreds of billions, and a single problem could easily affect the company’s entire operation! It’s perfectly understandable for Ms. Lindberg to take care of it. Maybe she’ll come and see Ellie after she’s done with the ceremony!” Cynthia signed.
“Yeah, that’s right! There’s no way she wouldn’t care about her own daughter! Wait… Could it be that she hasn’t regained her memories? Or perhaps, the motherly side of her has yet to awaken?” Taylor added.
“I don’t think that’s the case… I remember her being very gentle with her kids at Seacrest Restaurant, so it’s obvious that she loves them dearly. She’s probably just in a difficult position due to the feud between the Nachts and the Lindbergs.” Cynthia signed.
“All right, that’s enough. No need to defend that woman…” The look on Zachary’s face turned gloomy as he continued, “She did nothing when Danrique poisoned Robbie today. Had I not stopped him in time, Robbie would’ve suffered the same fate as Ellie.”
“I can’t believe Danrique would be so cruel as to poison a child! Do you think he’s the one who poisoned Ellie too?” Taylor exclaimed angrily.
“Who else could it be?” Zachary asked.
“It’s definitely him then! Karma will come for him sooner or later!” Taylor said.
“Yeah!” Cynthia signed in agreement.
Zachary narrowed his eyes and growled through clenched teeth, “I won’t let him get away with this! Anyone who dares poison my children shall die a horrible death!”
A look of surprise flashed in Cynthia’s eyes when she heard that, but she was quick to regain her composure and signed, ”Don’t do anything rash, Zachary! Danrique is no pushover, so you need to stay calm…”
“That’s right. You need to strategize and be smart about it!” Taylor advised.
Zachary turned to look at Ben and asked, “Well? What happened after that? Did they launch the South Sea project?”
“No, a prosecutor showed up at the last second with an official document and declared that the project had to be halted. He said something about it being incredibly detrimental to the marine life in the area,” Ben replied.
Taylor was delighted. “Really? The project has been halted?”
Ben nodded. “Yes. I believe Mr. Lindberg and Ms. Lindberg are currently stressing themselves out trying to figure out a solution.”
“With an official document ordering for a halt in front of the press, there’s no way they can save the project now! Danrique may be cruel and proficient at things like poisoning people, but he’s no match for me when it comes to business strategies!” Zachary said with a sarcastic sneer.
Taylor looked happier than everyone around him. “Of course! I told you, you’re a one-of-a-kind genius when it comes to business affairs! No one could possibly best you in this field!”
“We mustn’t let our guard down, though. Mr. Lindberg has tons of nasty tricks up his sleeve, so god knows what he’ll do next. You must be careful, Zachary.” Cynthia signed.
Zachary held her hand and said, “Yeah, I know. Thank you for helping Ellie out and being such a considerate person.”
Cynthia found herself blushing when she felt the warmth of his hand on hers.
