“You're half correct. I did do all this to show you Cynthia's true colors because it was the only way to make you realize your mistake. However, the thought of making you feel bad for Charlotte so you'd accept her has never crossed my mind. Honestly, it no longer matters if you accept her. She's not the Charlotte you used to know, and she doesn't need anyone to accept her. In fact, it's me who's begging her to accept me.”
Henry was left speechless after hearing that.
“Since when did you notice something was off about Cynthia, sir?” Spencer asked in confusion.
“After Ellie was poisoned, I confronted Danrique thinking it was him who did it, and he lashed out angrily at me for wrongly accusing him. He even showed me how he would poison someone. Danrique is a very prideful man, and he would never deny it if he was the one who did it.
“Having made sure that he didn't do it, I had people investigate the incident and found Cynthia suspicious shortly after. Since I didn't have any solid evidence at the time, I could only keep my suspicions to myself and not trust her fully.
“I could've had hypnotized her or have Bruce interrogate her to get a confession out of her, but I knew Grandpa trusted the Blackwoods and would surely intervene.
“That's why I decided to show him their true colors this way. I had people install hidden cameras in the house before bringing Cynthia home, and that woman got way ahead of herself the moment she set foot in the house.
“She began abusing her power, and Taylor's behavior grew increasingly radical too. I was already disgusted by them at that point, but I held on just so I could prove it to Grandpa once and for all.
“In the end, Bruce found the cup with the poison, and they showed their true colors...”
Having realized what was going on, Spencer said, “I see... So that's why you were acting a little strange last night... You deliberately told Cynthia that Ms. Lindberg would leave today morning and provoked her into poisoning Ms. Lindberg so you could catch her in the act!”
