“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.
“So you’re implying that I put a bug in the medicinal broth and pretended that I was going to drink it?” Charlotte
rubbed her temples, feeling frustrated. “But how would I know that Zachary would snatch the medicinal broth away
from me? How can I tell that you’re going to stop Zachary from drinking the medicinal broth?”
“This…” Taylor was rendered speechless.
“Love is blind.” Tears of despair ran down Cynthia’s cheeks. ”I never thought that Zachary would go that far for
your sake…”
She then lowered her head and cried.
“Huh!” Charlotte couldn’t help but laugh. “So you’re implying that we put on a show just to plot against you?”
“That’s certainly a possibility.” Zachary nodded. “I will do anything for you.”
“You…” Charlotte was rendered speechless. What is he thinking?

“Grandpa, that’s exactly what you’re thinking, right?” Zachary turned to face Henry.
Henry frowned. He was completely caught off guard when he heard it from Zachary because that was exactly his
thought.
He knew better than anyone else how much Zachary loves her.
He would do anything for her sake.
It was certainly a possibility for the two of them to put on a show just to force Cynthia to leave and gain his trust in
order to stay at the Nacht residence.
However, he pushed the thought away after hearing it from Zachary.
“Cynthia, you’re certainly a smart one.”
Zachary took a sip of tea and said calmly.
“You know you’re going to get exposed soon, and also knew that I’ve set a trap up for you. So you gave up on me
and placed all your hopes and dreams on Grandpa instead. You didn’t hesitate to pull me down in order to gain his
trust. Everything just makes sense. You’re really good at manipulation.”
