Chapter 779


    Raina came to pick Cynthia up that afternoon. Cynthia took two nurses with her because of her injuries


    and Henry sent two bodyguards with her. Ben sent another two bodyguards to tag along, making it a


    total of four bodyguards, one doctor, and two nurses escorting Cynthia around. It was a crowd.


    Mr. Potter knew Cynthia was someone close to Zachary when he weed her at Ashenville Garden''s


    parking lot as she had a lot of people protecting her. She was to stay at the same vi where a hot


    spring was in the backyard, just like how Zachary wanted.


    It was already eight in the evening when everything was done, but Zachary was nowhere to be seen.


    Even so, Cynthia didn''t seem to show any form of


    anxiety. She told Mr. Potter to keep her arrival a secret, for she didn''t want to worry Zachary. Mr. Potter

    nodded with a smile. Such a gentledy. She might be a mute, but shees from a good family, is


    knowledgeable, gentle, and gorgeous. She''s perfect.


    Raina treated Cynthia''s wounds and told her, "You can''t go into the hot spring just yet, Ms.


    ckwood, but you can soak your feet in it."


    "I see. Thank you, Dr. Langhan." Cynthia was a cultureddy who was polite to everyone, including the


    servants. She''d even smile at the waiters as a sign of gratitude for their service.


    "Don''t mention it. Rest up. I''ll unpack."


    "Of course."


    After Raina went to the room beside hers, Cynthia quieted down and pushed herself to the window, and


    looked at the rain that was pouring outside. It''s a downpour. I wonder if Zachary is trapped in the


    congested traffic.


    Indeed he was, and congested traffic was an understatement. Zachary was stuck at the exit, and he


    couldn''t even move an inch. Zachary was reading through the documents when Ben suddenly pointed


    at the rear-view mirror and gasped. "That looks like Ms. Lindberg''s car!"


    Zachary looked into the rear-view mirror and saw the silver Rolls-Royce that belonged to Charlotte. The


    traffic finally inched forward, and the Rolls-Royce moved up and stopped beside his ck one.


    "Goddammit! They''re everywhere!" Marino red at that car. Even though he couldn''t see the interior,


    he could feel the woman inside ring back at him.


    "Tell me about it." Ben felt a headacheing up at the thought of that woman. "Wait, they can''t be


    heading the same ce as we are, can they?"


    "What?" Zachary frowned. "Did Louis invite her too?"


    "..." Ben didn''t see thating. "That''s going to be a sticky situation. If Ms. Lindberg bumps into Ms.


    ckwood, you''re going to have a hard time exining."


    "I don''t think they''re heading to Ashenville Garden," Zachary refuted. "Remember what happened at


    the seaside restaurant? Things were pretty ugly, and I don''t think Louis would be so dumb as to invite


    both of us at the same time."


    "You have a point." Ben nodded.


    The traffic loosened up a short whileter. Zachary''s car was about to go ahead, but


    Charlotte''s cut in, much to Marino''s chagrin. "These women are barbaric."


    "Take it slow. We''re not in a hurry," Zachary said.


    "Yes, Sir." Marino stopped grumbling.


    They moved on at a snail''s pace and had to wait for ten more minutes before exiting the highway.


    Instead of going to the hotel with hot spring when he arrived, Zachary went to the banquet hall instead.


    Sir Louis'' banquet was held there, and there were the partners from F Nation who came to talk about


    the uing project. The moment he came out of the car, Mr. Potter went to wee him. "Mr. Nacht,


    Sir Louis has been waiting for you. Ms. ckwood is all settled down. Shall I invite her?"


    "No." Zachary wasn''t nning on having Louis know that Cynthia was there. Louis'' vi was on the


    racecourse, which was some distance away anyway, so they wouldn''t bump into each other.
