Chapter 989


    “You''re half correct. I did do all this to show you Cynthia''s true colors because it was the only way to


    make you realize your mistake. However, the thought of making you feel bad for Charlotte so you''d


    ept her has never crossed my mind. Honestly, it no longer matters if you ept her. She''s not the


    Charlotte you used to know, and she doesn''t need anyone to ept her. In fact, it''s me who''s begging


    her to ept me.”


    Henry was left speechless after hearing that.


    “Since when did you notice something was off about Cynthia, sir?” Spencer asked in confusion.


    “After Ellie was poisoned, I confronted Danrique thinking it was him who did it, and heshed out


    angrily at me for wrongly using him. He even showed me how he would poison someone. Danrique


    is a very prideful man, and he would


    never deny it if he was the one who did it.


    “Having made sure that he didn''t do it, I had people investigate the incident and found Cynthia


    suspicious shortly after. Since I didn''t have any solid evidence at the time, I could only keep my


    suspicions to myself and not trust her fully.


    “I could''ve had hypnotized her or have Bruce interrogate her to get a confession out of her, but I knew


    Grandpa trusted the ckwoods and would surely intervene.


    “That''s why I decided to show him their true colors this way. I had people install hidden cameras in the


    house before bringing Cynthia home, and that woman got way ahead of herself the moment she set


    foot in the house.


    “She began abusing her power, and Taylor''s behavior grew increasingly radical too. I was already


    disgusted by them at that point, but I held on just so I could prove it to Grandpa once and for all.


    “In the end, Bruce found the cup with the poison, and they showed their true colors...”


    Having realized what was going on, Spencer said, “I see... So that''s why you were acting a little


    strangest night... You deliberately told Cynthia that Ms. Lindberg would leave today morning and


    provoked her into poisoning Ms. Lindberg so you could catch her in the act!”


    Zachary nodded. “That''s right. I was actually nning on waiting a couple more days for Dr. Belch first,


    but then I found out that she was going to harm Charlotte, so... I had to move things forward.”


    Spencer was deeply impressed. “You really have excellent foresight!”


    “Must''ve been a lot of work putting up an act for so long!” Henry said sarcastically.


    Zachary stared at him as he replied, “This is my least preferred method, but it was the only way to put


    on a good show for you.”


    “Why not just tell me that there''s something wrong with Cynthia? Your actions have put Ellie''s life at


    risk!” Henry questioned him angrily.


    Zachary felt a little guilty about that. “Well... As perfect as my n was, there were some errors in its


    execution. I know I nearly cost Ellie her life, but would you have listened if I told you? I bet you''d still be


    forcing me to marry Cynthia now if you didn''t see it for yourself!”


    “You...” Henry was furious but had nothing to say in return.


    “You know how much the ckwoods have profited from our family throughout the years. Taking

    advantage of your trust, Taylor persuaded you to force his daughters on me, and you listened to him


    each time. You chose to trust an outsider fully, but doubt your own grandson''s words. How else am I


    supposed to convince you without resorting to such methods?” Zachary said helplessly, and Henry


    found himself at a loss for words.


    Zachary is right... I''ve never listened to him whenever he tried to reason with me, and yet I stubbornly


    gave Taylor all of my trust! I guess my stubbornness really is the cause of all these problems...
