Charlotte called up Raina on the way home to check on Ellie’s condition, but she only gave her a brief summary as she was tired from completing her rounds.
“Ms. Blackwood’s treatment was successful, and Ms. Elisa’s condition has stabilized. The venom in Mr. Nacht’s body isn’t completely removed yet, but he’s okay now.”
“Got it, thanks,” Charlotte said and hung up the phone after that.
“What does she mean Cynthia treated her? Her treatment couldn’t have possibly worked without your medicine! I can’t believe she’s being hailed as some hero just because she stuck a few needles in Ellie! Are the Nachts blind or what?” Lupine shouted angrily.
“Great… Now the Nachts are going to treat her like she’s a queen. If she really is the culprit, then they would practically be protecting a potential murderer!” Morgan said sarcastically.
“She’s definitely the culprit! Who else could it possibly be? Judging by how she’s acting all innocent after what she did, I’d say she’s a cruel and heartless woman on the inside!” Lupine got even angrier the more she thought about it.
Morgan clenched her fists tightly. “She’s dead meat if I find any evidence linking her to this incident!”
Charlotte, on the other hand, was calmly looking at her phone and seemed to be in deep thought.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Lindberg! At least Ellie’s fine now!” Lupine comforted her.
“I just feel like there’s a lot more to this whole thing than meets the eye.”
Charlotte was staring blankly at a villa in the distance when she suddenly remembered something and asked, “By the way, how are things with Jeffrey and Olivia? Have they settled down?”
“Yes, they have. I was going to pay them a visit the other day, but then it got postponed because Robinson got abducted, and a lot more stuff happened after that. I’ve had them settle down in a hotel for many days now,” Lupine replied.
“Let them head back. I won’t be able to see them for quite a while.” Charlotte said.
“Huh? I thought you wanted to confirm what happened back then?” Lupine asked in confusion.
Charlotte let out a wry chuckle. “I feel like there are some things that I’m better off not knowing. I mean, what else can I do after finding out? Kill Zachary? The kids would hate me to death for doing so!”
Unsure of what to say, Lupine could only let out a sigh in response.
“Regardless, we’re not letting Zara and the Blackwood sisters get away!” Morgan added angrily.
Charlotte frowned. “For now, let’s just focus on finding out who poisoned Ellie. If Cynthia truly is the culprit, then things would become a lot more dangerous.”
“Yeah! She could poison the kids anytime now that she’s by Mr. Nacht’s side every day!”
“That’s why we have to expose her true colors as soon as possible.”
Ellie’s condition was starting to improve after a few days of treatment at the hospital.
Zachary was also recovering slowly, but he was still very weak and could only work for a few hours before falling asleep from fatigue.
Meanwhile, the people at Lindberg Corporation had spent the past few days trying to fix the situation.
However, the final result remained that they were not allowed to carry out the South Sea project, but the company would receive a part of the amount lost as compensation.
Despite having recouped some of its losses, all of Lindberg Corporation’s projects had to be halted due to a lack of funds.
It was a huge blow to the company, but Danrique seemed to be taking it rather well.
Not only did he not blame Charlotte for it, but he even left H City three days later without doing anything out of the ordinary.
Charlotte didn’t know why he left, but she had a bad feeling deep down inside.
Ellie had finally woken up from her comatose state that morning, but she still required regular acupuncture treatments for a very long time.
Zachary figured it would be inconvenient for them to remain in the hospital, so he brought both Ellie and Cynthia home with him.
That way, Cynthia would be able to take care of both their daily treatments easily.
