I have made countless mistakes while claiming that it’s all for Zachary’s own good. My actions have caused irreparable damages to Charlotte, created an unbridgeable gap for Zachary, and left their three kids traumatized… I used to wonder why they kept blaming me for everything, but now I realize I was just being self-righteous…
As if to mirror Henry’s feelings of regret, the sky began raining outside.
Upon returning to his room, Zachary removed all of his clothes and took a long shower to wash off all traces of poison on his body.
He even had Raina destroy those potentially contaminated clothes just to be safe.
Zachary had just finished showering when Ben came running in with shocking news. “We just got a call from the police. Cynthia has died from the poison along the way. According to them, she was bleeding from every orifice. It’s a very gruesome sight to behold.”
“She tried to poison Charlotte with something so deadly and ended up drinking it herself. I’d say she had it coming!” Zachary bellowed with a frown.
“Yeah, that was some nasty stuff. Thank goodness Ms. Lindberg didn’t drink any of it. Putting that aside, are you sure you’re okay? You had that poison spilled all over your face earlier!” Ben was still shaken up by the whole ordeal.
“I’m fine. I made sure not to drink any of it.” Zachary was confident and even held his hands out as he continued, “I mean, look at me! I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I? If I were poisoned, the symptoms would’ve shown by now.”
“I guess you’re right…”
Ben mumbled as he eyed Zachary from head to toe and confirmed that he was truly okay.
“What else did the police say? What happened to the other accomplices?” Zachary asked.
“Taylor is currently being investigated for conspiring with Cynthia, and Synder Group has been seized by the police. We have also received a full refund of the money that we have invested in the company. Everything is as you predicted, sir!”
“Very well.”
Zachary sat down on the sofa, and Ben poured him a glass of wine as he continued, “Marino called. He said he found Dr. Felch and has contacted him through Ms. Lindberg just now. Dr. Felch agreed to come over to H City the moment he heard Ms. Lindberg was still alive. Marino has prepared a private jet for this trip, and he will be flying tonight.”
