“What has happened, happened!” Spreading out his hand, Zachary stated nonchalantly, “Regardless of his feelings, Grandpa has to agree no matter what. There's no turning back now!”
“Act first, report later, huh? You're playing a dangerous game here, young man.”
Spencer sighed, his face pale with fright. For a moment, he was at a loss for words as he staggered back.
“Mr. Spencer, are you okay?” Ben tried to support him but was pushed away. “Get off me, you brat. Why didn't you warn Mr. Zachary beforehand?”
“Do I dare to?” Ben muttered back.
“Mr. Spencer, it's not like we could do anything to change the situation anyway. Might as well help us to persuade Mr. Nacht to accept Ms. Windt,” Ben cautiously advised. “In fact, Ms. Windt is quite a decent...”
“Damn brat.” Spencer slapped Bruce hard across his back. “You're also part of the mess!”
“He's right, you know,” Defending Bruce, Zachary raised an eyebrow and asked, “Tell me, where have I gone wrong?”
“...” Spencer stayed silent for a long time. Unable to come up with anything, he could only force a stiff smile and said, “Yes, Mr. Zachary!”
“So you're now on board my plan to help to convince Grandpa?” Zachary immediately took advantage of the situation and made the first move. “Thank you, Mr. Spencer. You're the best!”
“...” Spencer fell into an even longer silence. Have I just accidentally fall into a trap set by Mr. Zachary? This proverbial pit that ensnared him was way too obvious.
“Thank you, Mr. Spencer!” Both Bruce and Ben echoed the gratitude and bowed their heads.
The realization was too late to save Spencer from the deep pit he was now in. He felt suffocated and speechless. His face had turned proverbially purple as he stood rooted to the spot.
At this moment, the medical staff walked out of the ward with the children in tow. One of the staff said to Zachary, “Sir, Mr. Nacht is expecting your presence.”
“Aye.” Zachary nodded, knelt down, and said to the children, “Go to the lounge for some snacks first and wait for Daddy, okay?”
“Aye, Daddy!”
The children nodded obediently and followed the medical staff to the lounge.
