“Mr. Nacht…”
“Mr. Zachary!”
Everyone was shocked as they saw Zachary spitting blood.
Zachary had never fully recovered from the snake venom, and he had been suppressing it all this while. Plus, he had gotten worn out by endless chores these few days.
Just when he thought things were getting under control, Henry came back and caused the conflict between him and Charlotte to escalate once again.
Zachary had to endure more physical and emotional damage with another fight uprising tonight.
“What’s wrong with him?”
Henry was not aware that Zachary got poisoned by a snake. Everyone hid this from him as they did not want him to get upset.
“Hurry. Bring Raina over here.”
“Stop!” Zachary shouted in exasperation. “If you don’t want to see me die, stop sticking your nose into my business!”
“How could you say that…”
“Mr. Nacht!” Spencer stood up nervously, with his hands pressing against his injured waist. “Let’s go downstairs and let Mr. Zachary handle this himself.”
“Why are you siding with him too?” Henry was enraged. “This is all caused by the b*tch from the Lindberg family. She can’t stop wanting to kill those at the Nacht residence. And look what she has done to Cynthia now!”
At that moment, Cynthia was sitting helplessly on the floor, crying desperately.
“I’ll handle that my way.” Zachary hugged tightly onto Charlotte, who was still going nuts, as he shouted furiously, “All of you get out of my sight!”
“You…” Regardless of how pissed Henry was, he could not bear to see Zachary suffering like this. Eventually, he chose to give in. “If you can’t handle it by tonight, I’ll take over tomorrow.”
“All right. Let’s drop this for now.” Spencer signaled Henry to leave as he spat another sentence toward Taylor. “Mr. Blackwood, please take Cynthia downstairs.”
“But…” Taylor had no choice as he saw Henry had given in as well. Reluctantly, he escorted Cynthia out.
“Who the h*ll chain her? Unlock it now!”
As Zachary spotted Charlotte’s hands and feet chained, he burst into a fit of fury again.
The few bodyguards immediately went over and freed Charlotte from her chains.
The next second, Charlotte cast a furious kick toward them.
Zachary immediately grabbed her before she could start beating those guards up. With that, he tried hard to pull her into the room.
However, Charlotte was still struggling unyieldingly. In the end, Zachary had no choice but to put her off with a slap in her head.
“Mr. Zachary…” Mrs. Rawlston followed in and started tidying up the messy room. “Ms. Lindberg is innocent. Ms. Blackwood was the one who barged in and the needle belonged to Ms. Blackwood. She said that she wanted to cure Ms. Lindberg, but actually…”
“I know.” Zachary narrowed his eyes while biting his lip angrily. “I wanted to wait for her to show her true color. But it looks like we won’t get the opportunity for that.”
Mrs. Rawlston was stunned momentarily upon hearing what Zachary said. Everyone thought Zachary was totally blind as he was mesmerized by the Blackwood family. Only now did Mrs. Rawlston realize that Zachary knew everything since the beginning.
“Stop thinking about this, and stop talking about this. Please go check on the kids.” Zachary instructed, “Don’t let them know what happened just now. And don’t involve them in this.”
“Yes. I got it.” Mrs. Rawlston nodded nervously.
“Mrs. Rawlston…” Zachary reminded solemnly. “You’re the butler here and a respected elderly. Other than Mr. Spencer, it would be best if you were the one in charge. Please don’t let any outsider bully you.”
“Understood.” Mrs. Rawlston immediately straightened her back.
“You may leave now,” Zachary instructed again.
With that, Mrs. Rawlston closed the door gently and left.
Zachary stared at Charlotte who was unconscious, his eyes filled with guilt.
Wiping off the bloodstain on her face, he uttered in a low voice, “I won’t let anyone hurt you ever again. I promise…”
