"Understood," replied Bruce, while having his head down. He didn't dare to say anything else.

"Forget about it. You wouldn't understand even if I explain it to you," said Zachary in an irritated tone before he growled, "Go deal with the media."

"Understood."

Bruce left the room to deal with the matter immediately. The situation was already terrible, but if they don't move quickly, it would spiral even more out of control. The only thing Bruce could do at that moment was to work as quickly as possible to minimize the damage.

"I'm sorry," replied Ben, who was feeling ashamed. He informed, "I know that things are bad, and I won't deny responsibility. I just want to say that I truly am not powerful enough to fight against the culprit behind it all."

"Have you learned of the culprit behind it?" asked Zachary. Naturally, he understood that Ben wasn't weak or didn't work hard enough. There are just things that Ben simply can't settle on his own. "It's likely linked to Ms. Nacht," answered Ben with a frown, "Everything points to her as the mastermind."

"She is crazy," growled Zachary. He was so angry that his face distorted when he roared, "She would risk the entire Nacht Group just to get her hands on more money and power."

"Also," said Ben before he paused and continued, "Taylor had been calling me over the past two days. He said that he wants to talk to you. I feel like..."

Ben didn't voice out the rest of the sentence. He simply stared fearfully at Zachary.

"You suspect that the Blackwoods are behind what happened yesterday?"

Zachary recalled everything from the night before. There were a lot of things that didn't make sense. For starters, he had a pretty good tolerance to alcohol, so it was unlikely that he would go dizzy from consuming that small amount of alcohol. He was even unconscious for over ten hours...

"That is just my speculations. I'm not sure yet because there's no evidence to prove one way or another," added Ben softly, "Moreover, Ms. Blackwood doesn't seem like someone who would do something like that."

"Is there any news from the hospital?" asked Zachary to change the topic.

"Mr. Henry's condition is stabilized," replied Ben, "But Ms. Nacht's men have been circling around and trying to get into the room. Ms. Nacht had contacted Mr. Spencer a few times to learn about Mr. Henry's whereabouts."

"Get the car ready. We're going to the hospital," instructed Zachary, "And call the office. We'll have a meeting at four in the afternoon."

"Understood."

Zachary changed his outfit before he rushed down the stairs.

The kids were having their meals in the dining room. When they saw him there, they greeted in their cute voices, "Daddy, come, have some food."

"Daddy is busy," informed Zachary as he hurried over to give the kids a hug, "You three be good and eat well before you go to class, okay? I won't be able to play with you three this weekend, but I'll take you overseas after I'm done working, okay?"

"Daddy, when can we visit Great-grandpa in the hospital?" asked Jamie, who was understanding.

"A few days later," replied Zachary as he checked his watch, "I'll take you guys over once your great-grandpa's condition becomes better."

"Then can we go to the mall this afternoon?" asked Robbie nonchalantly, "We've been home studying over the past two days and haven't gone out to play. I'm so bored."

"What's so fun about the mall, anyway?"

Zachary was a little hesitant about letting them leave the house. They were at a crossroads, and things would be bad if anything were to happen.

"Grand Plaza has a huge children's play area and offers a lot of activities," replied Robbie with a straight face on, "the most important bit, however, was that it has a huge Lego City there."

"Yeah, and there are tons of things to play there," added Jamie quickly.

"Oh, come on. You two are..."

Ellie was about to protest when Jamie suddenly nudged her.

"Why are you nudging me?" asked Ellie as she stared curiously at him. She hadn't caught up with the boys.

"Okay," agreed Zachary. He thought that it wasn't right to keep the kids cooped up at home, so he promised, "I'll have Marino take you guys there, but you must promise to behave and listen to him. Don't run too far, got it?"

"Got it. Don't worry," promised Robbie, while nodding with a smile.

"Yay, we can go out and play!" cheered Jamie happily.

"I have to go," informed Zachary. He quickly stroked all three kids' tiny heads before he turned around and left in a hurry.

Just then, Fifi suddenly flapped its wings and called out, "Mommy, mommy!"

Zachary turned around and looked over. All he saw was Jamie stuffing some food into Fifi's mouth to stop it from talking too much... Zachary didn't think much of it. He hurried into the car.
