Chapter 387
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âThat might be a possibility.â Zachary narrowed his gaze.
âTell me who tried to frame her then?â Henry arched a brow in question. âSpencer went over the surveillance cameras. She was the one who ground the coffee beans, brewed the coffee, and brought it to your office. No one else was involved in the process.â
After a pause, something occurred to him.
âOh, right. She bumped into Ben in front of your office,â he sneered. âAre you saying Ben poisoned the coffee and framed it on her?â
âOh!â Ben exclaimed in shock. âI did nothing.â
âAfter taking the coffee from her, Ben entered your office. We donât have access to the surveillance cameras inside your office,â explained Spencer as he gave Zachary a polite bow.
âOf course, Ben should be a suspect as well. If you think my decision isnât fair enough, I can send both Ben and Charlotte to the police so the police can decide for themselves.â
Ben glanced at Zachary sheepishly and said nothing.
âOtherwise, you can give us access to the surveillance cameras in your office to see whether Ben was the culprit,â suggested Spencer.
âNo need,â Zachary sat down on a chair and declared. âThere isnât any surveillance camera in my office!â
âThenââ
âIt wasnât Ben.â Zachary was sure about it. âHe has worked with me for ten years. I have total control over him, so he wouldnât have done something that silly.â
Spencer immediately gazed at Charlotte. âSoââ
âIt wasnât her, too.â Zachary cut him off. âShe went to my office again after the incident. If it was her, she wouldâve retrieved the cup and destroy the evidence. She might be a fool, but thereâs no way sheâd be foolish enough to leave the evidence there.â
âYouâre defending her!â Henry roared. âSharon is your fiancée! Someone poisoned her, and sheâs unconscious. Her life is in danger. How dare you defend another woman right now?â
âI am only stating the facts,â Zachary insisted.
Charlotte gazed at him. Luckily, he trusts me. Iâm glad heâs still trying to defend me.
âThatâs enough!â Henry was impatient by now. âI need to give Taylor an explanation.â
âWhat are you doing? Take her away!â
âYes!â Spencer moved to carry out his order.
âNo!â Charlotte was flustered.
âHow dare you?â Zachary bellowed.
Spencer immediately came to a stop.
âAre you trying to go against me?â
Henry hit the ground with his cane in fury.
Fed up, Zachary made a gesture.
Bruce and his men surrounded Spencer and the rest promptly.
âSorry, sir,â he spoke meekly.
Frowning, Spencer glanced at Henry.
âY-You!â Henry shook in anger. His hand gripping the cane was trembling slightly. âHow rude of you toâ¦â
âMr. Nacht, please calm down,â Spencer hurriedly consoled him. âMr. Zachary isnât going against you.
He just wants to investigate the matter himself.â
âSpencer is right.â Zachary nodded. âGrandpa, Iâll investigate the matter thoroughly. Donât you worry.
But now, I wonât allow you to take them away.â
âI insist on punishing her right now.â Henry refused to give in. âOtherwise, she might do something worse in the future!â
âGrandpaââ
âCalm down, Mr. Nacht!â Right then, Taylor hurried over to them. âSharon has regained consciousness.
Dr. Langhan said sheâs in a stable condition now.â
âSharon is awake? Good, good.â Henry heaved a sigh of relief. âLetâs go and visit her.âq
