Everyone was stupefied by how obsessed and crazy Cynthia had become.
“Cynthia…”
Taylor wanted to step forward and stop her, but Cynthia’s terrifying gaze had him rooted to the spot as he stared at her in shock.
“If there is a next life, I don’t want to be your daughter!” Cynthia signed and let out an eerie cackle before starting to vomit blood.
“Get her to the hospital! Hurry!” Henry shouted frantically.
“Leave it to us.”
The police arrived in the nick of time and arrested everyone suspicious, including Cynthia who had been poisoned.
“Why am I handcuffed too? I didn’t do anything! Help me, Mr. Nacht! Mr. Nacht…” Taylor screamed as the police took him away.
This time, Henry kept quiet and simply tightened his grip on the wheelchair’s armrest, his reddened eyes were filled with pain and regret.
“My goodness, that was so scary!” Mrs. Rawlston exclaimed while patting her chest, her face pale from fear.
“Thank god that evil woman is finally arrested! I knew she was up to no good!” Molly said.
The other maids were all horrified at the realization that they had been spending so much time around such a dangerous person who was highly capable of poisoning others.
“Everyone will have to move out temporarily while we carry out a thorough search of the house. We need to make sure there aren’t any more areas that contain poison. My men have already searched the study room and the master bedroom, and we will now continue to search the rest of the house. Have Mrs. Rawlston help you out,” Ben instructed as he came downstairs.
“All right, I’ll summon the maids…”
“Thanks!”
With that, Raina and her team began their search.
Charlotte looked at Zachary worriedly. “Are you okay? Do you want to have a doctor examine you?”
“I’m fine. It just got spilled on my body. If I were poisoned, the symptoms would’ve started showing by now,” Zachary said while taking his coat off.
“Are you sure?” Charlotte was still concerned.
Zachary reached out and pulled her into his arms. “Are you worried about me?”
“Hey, cut it out!” Charlotte pushed him off with a frown before turning to face Henry as she said, “I hope you’ll take some time to properly reflect on yourself after this incident. First, it was Sharon, and now Cynthia… The women you have insisted that your grandson marry were all cruel and heartless. Is this what you mean when you said it was for his own good? Most of the tragedies could’ve been avoided if you didn’t act so stubbornly and selfishly!”
Charlotte then stormed off angrily with Lupine and the other bodyguards following closely behind.
“Ms. Lindberg!” Ben called out to her and anxiously reminded Zachary, “You should go after her, Mr. Nacht!”
Zachary let out a sigh. “With how chaotic things are at home, it’s probably best to let her stay outside for a couple of days. I’ll go see her when I’ve taken care of things.”
“Okay.”
Ben stared longingly at Lupine, who also turned around to cast him a glance.
There had been some slight changes in their relationship ever since their near-death experience when they tracked down Sharon.
“You should go back to your room and get some rest, Grandpa.”
Zachary was about to leave after saying that, but Henry called out to him all of a sudden, “You sure are amazing, Zachary!”
Zachary paused in his tracks and looked at him as he asked, “What are you trying to say?”
Henry flashed him a wry smile and replied, “You could’ve exposed Cynthia and punished her yourself, but you chose to set all this up just so you could have me witness her wrongdoings. You wanted me to see her reveal her evil side so I would reflect on myself, feel bad for Charlotte, and try to accept her. Isn’t that right?”
