Chapter 915

“Come again?”

Danrique narrowed his eyes to a slit in a similar manner. The moment the snake felt the man’s racing pulse, it started hissing, indicating it couldn’t wait to take out the man in front of it.

Robbie stared at Zachary in disbelief and repeated after his father, “D-Daddy, are you serious? Has Ellie…”

Similarly, Charlotte couldn’t keep herself calm any longer. She asked, “What? How has Ellie been poisoned? What the hell is going on?”

“Ellie’s currently in the ICU! Those from the hospital told me the toxin found in her system was derived from venomous snakes! Who else could it be apart from Danrique?”

“I-It’s impossible!” Charlotte’s mind went completely blank. She turned around and stared at the snake Danrique brought along with him.

It’s true Danrique’s a specialist in extracting venoms from snakes, but…

Danrique guffawed and asked, “Interesting! Are you indicating I’m the one who did it?”

In an attempt to sort out the misunderstanding, Lupine assured the rest, “N-No! As much as he wished to take someone out, Mr. Lindberg would never resort to something like that! On top of that, he has long grown fond of his nephew and nieces! It’s—”

“Shut up!” Danrique stopped her from finishing her sentence. He looked at Zachary in the eyes and warned Zachary, “Since you’re accusing me of something I have never done, I guess I’ll have to prove you right!”

“Wait, Danrique! No—”

Charlotte couldn’t even finish her sentence as Danrique had launched the snake he brought along in the direction of Robbie.

Overwhelmed by trepidation, Robbie couldn’t bring himself away and stood right there with his eyes widened in disbelief.

“Robbie!”

Charlotte thought of rushing over to defend her son from the venomous snake, but Zachary pushed her away in the nick of time.

He grasped the snake but failed to kill it in time. In the end, the snake bit Zachary before it was strangled.

Zachary shrugged the snake off and thought of catapulting in the direction of Danrique to take him out. However, his vision blurred within a few seconds. He couldn’t even stand without others’ support.

Charlotte yelled, “Zachary, stop moving around! The toxin will permeate throughout your system the more you try to move around!”

“D-Daddy!” Robbie rushed over to help his father up. He turned around and yelled at Danrique with his eyes brimming, “You’re such an evil man! Why did you hurt my father?”

Danrique’s eyes flickered in despair, but it merely lasted for a few seconds. Shortly after he snapped out of bewilderment, he asked, “Why else would I hurt him had he not accused me of something I never did?”

He sneered and asked in a sarcastic manner, “Can you tell the difference yet? There’s no way I’m relying on something undetectable to take others out!”

“Y-You—” Zachary couldn’t even finish his sentence as he passed out in front of others after another few seconds.

Charlotte rushed over and groveled herself at Danrique’s mercy, begging him to be merciful, “Danrique, just give him the antidote. Please!”

Danrique glared at Charlotte in the eyes and queried, “Have you lost your mind? Why are you trying to do him a favor when he has brought nothing but miseries upon you?”

“Dan…” The man stopped her from finishing her sentence and marched in the direction of the mansion, instructing in a callous tone, “Get him out of my sight at once!”

Charlotte instructed Lupine in a hushed voice, “Hurry up and get me my medicine!”

“Ms. Lindberg, have you lost your mind? Aren’t you aware your life depends on—”

“Just go and get it!” Charlotte repeated herself, but she dared not raise her volume in fear of alarming Danrique.

Lupine made her way to Charlotte’s room and returned with a bottle of mysterious-looking solution.

When Charlotte was about to feed Zachary the mysterious-looking solution, she heard another few cars pulling over at the entrance.

She helped him up and tried bringing him out of the mansion with their son next to them.

Out of the blue, a man instructed in a callous tone from behind, “I’m not allowing Robbie to leave the compound.”

Charlotte and Robbie exchanged glances and made up their minds to hand Zachary to Bruce who had finally made his way there.

Bruce and those around him retrieved their guns the moment they found out Zachary had sustained a serious injury.

Charlotte urged, “He’s fine for the time being, but I’m afraid that’s no longer the case the moment any of you fire a shot and start another fight! Just hurry up and rush him to the hospital!”
