Jamie looked up at Zachary and asked, “Where’s Mommy, Daddy?”
Zachary reached out and gently ruffled his hair as he replied, “Mommy left just now.”
The kids got all sad when they heard that, and Ellie looked like she was about to cry while Robbie had his head hung low.
“When will Mommy come back?” Jamie asked anxiously.
“Soon. She’ll come back once Daddy has taken care of some problems,” Zachary said in a gentle tone.
“Really?” Ellie looked at him expectantly.
Zachary gave her a pinch on the cheek. “Of course! Since when has Daddy ever lied to you? All right, Daddy has to go out for a bit. There will be a huge search in the house today, so make sure to stay in your room, okay? Don’t go running around the house, got it?”
“Got it!” The kids nodded obediently.
Zachary gave them each a hug before getting ready to leave. Robbie then walked him to the door and asked all of a sudden, “Did you manage to catch the person who poisoned us, Daddy?”
“Hmm?” Zachary froze. I didn’t say a word about what happened, so how did he know?
“It was Ms. Cynthia, wasn’t it?” Robbie added.
“Yeah, but Daddy has already taken care of that. Mommy wasn’t angry or anything when she left, so don’t you worry!”
Robbie breathed a sigh of relief. “I am glad to hear that!”
Zachary gave him a pat on the head. “All right, go back inside now.”
“Okay! I’ll be sure to protect Jamie and Ellie!”
“You’re a kid too, you know? You need protection too, so keep yourself safe before looking after them,” Zachary said with a gentle smile.
“Got it, Daddy!”
Nacht Group has lost a lot of money due to the recent clashes with Lindberg Corporation and the issue with Synder Group. Now that we’ve recovered over forty billion and taken care of some issues, I’ll have to do some restructuring at the company…
Zachary thought to himself as he hurried off.
He was about to get in the car when Raina called out to him and said, “The flowers in the garden restaurant have all withered, Mr. Nacht! It’s most probably caused by the poison spilled on the ground by Cynthia earlier. There may still be traces of the poison in the house, so I suggest that we have Mr. Henry and the kids move out as a safety measure.”
“Have them move over to Grandpa’s villa immediately. Have you informed Mr. Spencer about this?” Zachary said decisively.
“Yes, I have. Mr. Spencer agrees with the idea and is currently having Mr. Henry’s men make the arrangements,” Raina replied.
“Bruce!” Zachary shouted.
“I’m here!” Bruce came running over.
“I want you to escort them there. Bring some extra guys with you to be safe,” Zachary ordered.
“Got it, I’ll get to it right away!” Bruce replied and got to work immediately.
“Raina, you stay back and check the house thoroughly. I want the place cleaned up completely.”
“Yes, sir! Don’t you worry!”
Having taken care of things, Zachary then drove off in a hurry.
Ben gave him a brief report along the way. “We’ve just received news about Ms. Nacht’s scandals being posted online with evidence to back it up. It’s attracting a lot of attention as we speak.”
Johann’s call came in immediately after. “Mr. Nacht, the outside of the office building is surrounded by journalists! Also, there are men from the Commercial Crimes Investigation Bureau here. They’ll need your full cooperation to aid in the investigation!”
Zachary frowned. “What’s going on?”
“My guess is that Ms. Nacht’s incident has affected our company. I’ll represent you and help them with the investigation for now, so please figure out a solution as soon as possible!” Johann said anxiously.
“Don’t go anywhere! I’m almost at the office, so we’ll discuss this when I arrive.”
“All right. I’ll tell them to wait, then.”
Zachary then looked up Zara’s news on the internet and saw that the crimes she committed had all been exposed online.
Murder, arson, arms trafficking, commercial fraud… They’ve listed out her crimes with pictures and videos attached to support the post. There are also some detailed evidence included for several murders involving the royal family…
