“So Ellie doesn’t have a fever, but she was poisoned. Zachary too…” The color drained from Henry’s face as he stomped in exasperation. “Spencer, come over here!”
Spencer, standing behind Henry, cut a glare at Cynthia before walking toward Henry and apologizing, “I’m so sorry, Mr. Nacht. I lied to you.”
“You piece of cr*p!” Henry beat him angrily with his cane. “Tell me now. Is everything Cynthia said true?”
Spencer pondered for a while and chose his words cautiously. “Danrique was the one who let the snake bit Mr. Zachary. But regarding Ellie’s case, even though Danrique is the biggest suspect, we’ve not found the decisive proof for it. Mr. Zachary is still investigating…”
“What a smart statement that is.” Right then, Taylor weighed in rudely. “I heard from Ben that Ellie got poisoned while she was with Charlotte. If it wasn’t Danrique, then was it Charlotte?”
“Daddy, what nonsense are you talking about?” Cynthia immediately interrupted Taylor with her sign language. ”Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. How could Ms. Lindberg possibly do that?”
“Silly girl. She almost killed you twice today. Why do you still speak up for her?” Taylor responded in wrath.
“I’m merely analyzing it rationally,” Cynthia signed.
“Cynthia, you’re too soft-hearted.” Henry’s expression was utterly rigid. “After Ellie got sick, Charlotte could get back to the Nacht family legitimately. Now I look at it, what Taylor said seems reasonable.”
“That’s impossible. Mr. Nacht, Ms. Lindberg loves her child very much…”
Spencer was about to speak for Charlotte again.
“Shut the f*ck up!” Henry shouted, beyond enraged. “How dare you hide such an important truth from me? Do you want to piss me to death as well?”
Spencer lowered his head upon hearing that, not daring to utter another word.
“I’ve underestimated Danrique.” The more Henry thought of it, the more pissed he became. “He transformed Charlotte and then instilled hatred in her. Then, he let her come back to cause a mess in the Nacht family. Now Zachary has been blinded by love. If this goes on, I’m afraid he will get destroyed by that b*tch completely! No way. I’m chasing her out now. It’ll be too late if the whole family got destroyed by her. My three great-grandkids will be affected as well…”
Upon saying that, Henry pushed his wheelchair angrily, intended to leave.
