Chapter 990

I have made countless mistakes while claiming that it’s all for Zachary’s own good. My actions have caused irreparable damages to Charlotte, created an unbridgeable gap for Zachary, and left their three kids traumatized…

I used to wonder why they kept blaming me for everything, but now I realize I was just being self-righteous…

As if to mirror Henry’s feelings of regret, the sky began raining outside.

Upon returning to his room, Zachary removed all of his clothes and took a long shower to wash off all traces of poison on his body.

He even had Raina destroy those potentially contaminated clothes just to be safe.

Zachary had just finished showering when Ben came running in with shocking news. “We just got a call from the police. Cynthia has died from the poison along the way. According to them, she was bleeding from every orifice. It’s a very gruesome sight to behold.”

“She tried to poison Charlotte with something so deadly and ended up drinking it herself. I’d say she had it coming!”

Zachary bellowed with a frown.

“Yeah, that was some nasty stuff. Thank goodness Ms. Lindberg didn’t drink any of it. Putting that aside, are you sure you’re okay? You had that poison spilled all over your face earlier!” Ben was still shaken up by the whole ordeal.

“I’m fine. I made sure not to drink any of it.” Zachary was confident and even held his hands out as he continued, “I mean, look at me! I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I? If I were poisoned, the symptoms would’ve shown by now.”

“I guess you’re right…”

Ben mumbled as he eyed Zachary from head to toe and confirmed that he was truly okay.

“What else did the police say? What happened to the other accomplices?” Zachary asked.

“Taylor is currently being investigated for conspiring with Cynthia, and Synder Group has been seized by the police.

We have also received a full refund of the money that we have invested in the company. Everything is as you predicted, sir!”

“Very well.”

Zachary sat down on the sofa, and Ben poured him a glass of wine as he continued, “Marino called. He said he found Dr. Felch and has contacted him through Ms. Lindberg just now. Dr. Felch agreed to come over to H City the moment he heard Ms. Lindberg was still alive. Marino has prepared a private jet for this trip, and he will be flying tonight.”

Zachary breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good to know. With his treatment, Ellie will be able to rid her body of the poison completely…”

“It’s happy endings for everyone! All that’s left is for us to take care of Sharon and Zara!” Ben exclaimed.

“Keep a close eye on Sharon. Do not let her get away again,” Zachary ordered.

“Don’t worry, I’ve reinforced the security this time. She’s not going anywhere!”

“As for Zara… We’ll have to come up with a new plan. All right, that’s all for now. You can head on downstairs,”

Zachary said, seemingly in deep thought.

“Yes, sir.”

Zachary took a sip of his wine and put on a new change of clothes after Ben left. He was about to go see his kids when he felt a slight discomfort in his eyes.

He gave it a little rub and looked in a mirror, but a slight redness at the corner of his eyes was all he saw. Dismissing it as a result of overworking lately, Zachary didn’t give it much thought and went to see his kids.

The scene that greeted him when he entered their room had him frozen in surprise.

Robbie and Jamie were helping Ellie put a jigsaw puzzle together. Little Fifi was standing on top of Ellie’s head, and the eagle from the Lindberg residence was perched on a rack next to Robbie, staring at them while they played.

With a sharp look in its eyes, the eagle spread its wings and flew toward Zachary when he came in through the door.

Zachary was about to punch at it when Robbie casually shouted, “Fifi! Get back here!”

The eagle shot Zachary a cold glare before returning to its original spot and continued staring at them.

“Your mommy left it behind?” Zachary asked.

“Mommy said Fifi could protect us while she’s gone.”
