Even with his evidence, Zachary could not topple the Lindts in a single stroke.
However, that was not the case now that he had Ember''s confession.
He sent her home to wait for his updates, after which he quickly uploaded the recording online.
The incident had already caused significant unrest, and in this age ofworking, no individual or event
gets to hide.
Soon, Peter Lindt was named, and a horde of journalists as well as outragedizens arrived at the
hospital.
They both returned home, their faces ashen, but another bombshellnded almost as soon as they sat
on the couch.
"You have to listen to this...”
Shirley showed Peter the recording that was circting online, and they both could hear that it was
their daughter.
"How could she say something like that... And at a time like this?!"
As the Lindts were pushed to the brink, Peter was left seething and barking, "Call her here already!"
Shirley quickly did so, and Ember soon arrived-she had returned to the hospital after leaving Zachary''s
office, and she returned home since her parents had already left.
"What the hell is this?!’ Peter barked as he yed the recording for her, but Ember was dumbfounded
too.
It was what she had just told Zachary... Why was there a recording posted online already?
However, she would never believe that it was Zachary. She said, "It must be Tim Goldman.”
"You''ve met him?" Peter asked.
"Yes," Ember lied, and assured her father, “Calm down, Dad. Zachary is going to help US."
"What?! You told him?!" Peter gaped.
Ember Still held faith in Zachary. “Zachary would know now that it''se to this even if we didn''t tell
him. You know that he''s not a schemer-don''t think so poorly of him.”
Peter was silent for a while and sighed. "Yeah. Right now, we can only trust him.”
Zachary had always been soft and never did anything wrong, so it was likely he was not culpable—not
when he did not even have the mind for it.
The thought that Tim wanted to screw him over put Peter''s mind at ease.
Right now, he had no choice but to trust Zachary...
That was when several uniformed officers arrived at his house, demanding that he follow them back to
the precinct to assist in an investigation.
The incident had already caused too much of a stir, after all.
Shirley was left sobbing-Peter had always called the shots in the family, and she had no idea what to
do in his absence.

Ember tried to console her. "Don''t worry, Mom. Zachary will save Dad."
Shirley said nothing as she wiped away her tears.
Zachary arrived in the evening, bringing a message from Tim.
Naturally, it was from him as well, but he described it as if only Tim said it, using Tim as a misdirection.
"We can smooth things over by paying him off," Zachary said.
“How much is he asking for?”
Ember barely finished when Shirley said, "We don''t have any money left. He''s already taken all the
movable assets and capital ourpany had..."
"He must being after your family''s fortune,” Zachary said. "He also said that you could give him
any businesses you have on hand if you don''t have the money."
"He just wants to devour us whole, doesn''t he?” Ember bristled.
“Calm down. I won''t let you starve even if your family is gone," Zachary assured her.
Ember became a mush of emotions right then and threw herself in Zachary’s arms. "You''re the only
one I can rely on now."
"I''m here. You have nothing to worry about." Zachary patted her on the shoulder, staying silent for a
while before continuing,
"Money is just a possession. Right now, the most important thing is to save your father. Moreover, it''s
just business-it won''t bankrupt thepany, and your father has the strength to straighten things out
once he’s released. That''s the easy part, but bailing him out right now is the priority.”
"That''s right, Mom,” Ember echoed.
