“I'll come along with you,” said Zachary while hinting for Ben to leave with Charlotte.
“I'll come along with you,” said Zachary while hinting for Ben to leave with Charlotte.
“She can't leave.” Henry wasn't foolish enough to forget about Charlotte. He ordered Spencer, “Carry out my order now!”
“Well...” Spencer trailed off hesitantly as he turned to look at Zachary.
“Ignore him!” Henry declared furiously. “I'm still alive. I call the shots in the Nacht family!”
“You're old and hot-tempered,” uttered Zachary helplessly. “Am I right, Mr. Blackwood?”
Zachary was an arrogant man. He had always been polite but distant to Taylor.
Oh, he wants me to help persuade his grandfather.
Taylor hurriedly chimed in. “Mr. Nacht, please calm down. You should give Zachary some time to figure things out.”
“Taylor, you don't understand,” said Henry with a frown. “I will never blame someone wrongfully. After the incident, I told Spencer to find out what happened. The evidence showed that woman was the culprit, so I brought her here. She tried to weasel her way out. Obviously, I need to hand her to the police.”
“You're right.” Taylor nodded vehemently. He turned to Charlotte and questioned, “What did Sharon do to make you poison her...”
He trailed off in shock the moment he saw Charlotte's face.
It was as though he was staring at a monster.
“I didn't poison her,” Charlotte reiterated. “If you don't trust me, I'll confront Ms. Blackwood.”
“Okay, you can confront her.” Henry waved. “Bring her with us!”
With that, he strode to the lounge next door with his cane in hand.
Taylor was still gazing at Charlotte in disbelief.
“Mr. Blackwood. Mr. Blackwood?” Spencer patted his shoulder.
Snapping back to reality, Taylor demanded anxiously, “Who is that girl?”
“Charlotte Windt. She's an employee at Divine Corporation,” answered Spencer.
