Chapter 980

Cynthia urgently exchanged a glance with Taylor.

Taylor instantly understood and began sweating bullets. “Mr. Nacht, Cynthia would never do it. They are insulting her by investigating her in such a way. Please do her justice.”

“Let her go first.” Henry slammed his palm onto the table.

Lupine pay no heed to his command.

She finally let Cynthia go after receiving a knowing glance from Charlotte.

Cynthia tripped and nearly fall.

Taylor hurriedly held her. “What have we, the Blackwoods, have done? We are here to help and treat others, but all we received were insults and humiliations. We were hit yesterday, then subjected to such humiliation today.”

Cynthia’s entire body was swaying as though she could fall at any moment.

Henry didn’t have the heart to look, so he admonished Zachary. “Don’t believe what that woman said. How could you suspect Cynthia-”

“I’ll apologize to her if there’s no poison in the broth.” Zachary continued to sip his tea.

“You…”

“Cynthia was there when Ellie was poisoned at the Seacrest Restaurant. That is the main reason I’m doing this.”

Zachary explained calmly, “Charlotte suspected Cynthia was the one who poisoned Ellie; hence, her antagonistic acts toward Cynthia.”

“How could Cynthia have poisoned Ellie?” Henry insisted on believing Cynthia’s innocence. “When Ellie was sick, it was Cynthia who took care of her day and night.”

“You’re right, and that is what I thought exactly.” Zachary nodded with agreement. “I’m not suspecting Cynthia.

Aren’t I investigating this matter with everyone present? If there isn’t any problem with the broth, it means Cynthia is innocent. Charlotte won’t bother her any longer.”

“But-”

“Mr. Nacht.”

At that moment, Spencer spoke, “We’re merely checking the contents of the broth and not the individual. It’ll be fine once things clear up.

“You have to understand that to be on the receiving end of the Lindbergs revenge is a very frightening experience.

It’ll be fine if we investigate the matter now. Ms. Lindberg won’t target Ms. Blackwood anymore. Isn’t that good for everyone involved?”

“As we can see, Mr. Spencer has common sense.”

Charlotte raised her cup of tea and drink with Spencer.

“Mr. Spencer, how could you-”

“He’s right.” Henry interrupted Taylor. “Nobody can touch Cynthia with me here today. If they want to investigate Cynthia, let them. If there’s no issue, you…”

He pointed at Charlotte and said harshly, “Must apologize to Cynthia.”

“What if there’s a problem?” Charlotte asked with an arched brow.

“Then-”

“Mr. Zachary, the result is out.”

Soon, Raina walked over with an analysis report. She gave Cynthia a knowing expression.

Cynthia paled when she met Raina’s gaze and instantly lowered her head in guilt.

Zachary gave a cursory glance at the report, then passed it to Henry without saying anything.

Henry was shocked as he read the report. His face paled almost immediately.

Taylor caught a glimpse of the report from the side. He almost fainted.

“What in the world happened?” Henry interrogated Cynthia with the report in hand.

“Mr. Henry, I don’t know…” Cynthia sobbed as she signed. ”I was telling the truth when I said I saw a bug in the broth. That was why I didn’t want Zachary to drink it.”

“Yes… yes…” Taylor agreed urgently. “Even if there’s poison in the broth, you can’t deduce it was put there by us.

Even the judges need evidence before they pass the verdict.”

“If I were the one who poisoned the broth, why would I flip the bowl? Wouldn’t that action betray that I’m the culprit? I’m not dumb.” Cynthia cried as she signed.

“That’s true.” Henry was hesitant. “Why would she flip the bowl over if she was the one who poisoned it? Nobody would’ve suspected her if she didn’t do what she did.”

“Simple. The person she wanted to poison was me, not Zachary.” Charlotte sneered, “When I about to drink the broth, she was merely sitting there. But she panicked when Zachary was about to drink it.”
