Chapter 984
“In order to be with me, you even harmed my children?” Zachary questioned incredulously. “Did you think that you
could convince me using such low-handed despicable means?”
“No, it wasn't like that...” signed Cynthia while shaking her head desperately.
“Enough!” Zachary did not want to see her defending herself. “Perhaps I have been too easygoing lately, so you
and your father think that I can be easily manipulated!”
“No, Zachary, it's not like that...” Taylor tried to explain in a hurry, “Cynthia dislikes Charlotte for always bullying her
but she had no intention of hurting you or your children. She had been helping you and Ellie.
“When Freya poisoned the food, she was acting alone. Cynthia was not involved. Cynthia was only gesticulating that
she wanted to feed Ellie, not asking Freya to poison the food.”
“Even now, you are still trying to lie your way out?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlotte wanted to take the father and daughter duo out right away.
Zachary made her sit down and spoke calmly...
“Yes, where the video was shot, Cynthia did not clearly instruct Freya to administer the medicine. In these videos
taken at home, we can only see that she clearly ordered someone to give Charlotte the medicine. However, it is
undeniable that she gave poison to Ellie at Seacrest Restaurant.”
“There is no proof that Cynthia did that.” Taylor was still arguing, “Zachary, don't be fooled by others and accuse
Cynthia. She is innocent.”
“Do you say that I'm accusing her wrongly? I'll show you the proof.” Zachary turned around and called out, “Raina!”
“Yes, sir.” Raina handed the laboratory analysis report to Spencer. “The analysis just now showed that the poison in
the medicinal broth is the same as the type Ellie took.”
“This...” Taylor was panicky but still continued to deny everything, “This does not prove that Cynthia administered
the poison. It is possible that the darned servant did it...”
“Bring the witness,” Zachary ordered.
In a short while, Bruce brought someone over and placed her right in front of Taylor.
“Freya?” Taylor's eyes widened in surprise. “How did you...”
I phoned her and asked her to dispense the medicine last night. How did she end up here?
“Help me, Uncle Taylor...”
Freya was unharmed but her spirit was broken, obviously after stern interrogation.
“I detained her immediately after she was driven away,” Zachary said plainly.
“During Bruce's interrogation, she confessed everything—how Cynthia instructed her to poison Ellie and what you
did this morning, ordering her to dispense the medicine. Should I ask her to repeat it?”
Taylor looked at Cynthia as he panicked.
Cynthia was now totally disorientated and in a panic too.
“This is the witness and there is also evidence.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZachary signaled to Bruce.
Bruce took out a box in which were pieces of broken pottery.
“This is...” Lupine looked carefully and then recognized it. “The cup from Seacrest Restaurant.”
“There were twelve cups. The eleven cups that were taken away were fine,” Bruce explained, “The one that was
used was removed by Cynthia, who later broke it and threw it into a trash bin three kilometers away. I found it later
on.”
“I see.” Lupine began to understand.
“Straightaway, I sent the cup to the police station for testing, and it really contained residual toxins as well as
Cynthia's fingerprints,” Bruce continued to explain.
“What else do you have to say now?” Zachary looked at Cynthia with a cold frosty gaze.
“I never intended to harm Ellie, really, I didn't...” Cynthia gesticulated in panic. ”The cup of tea was meant for her.”
Cynthia pointed at Charlotte, signing anxiously, ”I never thought that Ellie would drink it. I have never thought of
harming Ellie, really, I didn't...”
