“Yes, I hate you. I never did you wrong, but you've been targeting me at every turn, bullied me, tried to kill me, and even pierced my face with a needle...”
Cynthia signed wildly. ”That's why I didn't want to tell you when I saw a bug in your medicinal broth. You can drink the bug for all I care. But it's a different story when I saw Zachary reaching out for the broth.”
“Keep it up!” Charlotte glared at her coldly. “Do you think you can get off scot-free with some lame excuse? The truth will come pouring out after going through your medical kit. This might even be the same poison Ellie was poisoned with...”
“We're running tests on the poison right now. We'll find out in a bit.” Raina reported. “As for the medical kit...”
“Let's get to the bottom of things,” agreed Zachary.
“Ok.” Raina immediately took Cynthia's medical kit.
“Zachary, you...” Cynthia cried. ”I did everything for you. Why are you treating me like this?”
“Zachary, why do you not trust Cynthia?” Taylor exclaimed. “She wouldn't have stopped you from drinking that medicinal broth just now if she wanted to scheme against you.”
“Calm down.” Zachary was cool as a cucumber. “I'm doing this because I want to do Cynthia justice. Don't worry, I will apologize to Cynthia if she's innocent at the end of it all.”
“You...” Taylor panicked. He turned to Henry for help. “Mr. Nacht, please help.”
Henry stared at Zachary for a long while before he spoke up. “We should get to the bottom of things since we found out that the medicinal broth was poisoned. Don't worry, no one can do you wrong since I'm around.”
“This...”
Taylor fell into despair. They would know that something is up if they check the medical kit.
However, Cynthia remained calm. ”Any excuse will serve the tyrant. How can I escape if someone really wants to frame me?”
“Frame you?” Charlotte sneered. “So you mean to say that even if we found poison in your medical kit, it would be from me?”
“Finally, you admit.” Taylor quickly played along.
