"Who said it isn't important." Henry covered for Cynthia. "The kids were poisoned when they were by your side. That is the truth, isn't it?"
Charlotte merely glared at Cynthia.
If I have the evidence, I will expose her true nature right at this moment.
"The kids were poisoned with you by their side. Now, this makes the situation different." Henry spoke justly, "Think from another angle. If the kids returned to the Lindberg residence with you, they might be in more danger-"
"Are you done?"
It was Zachary who interrupted.
Charlotte was baffled at his lack of manners. He rarely retorted Henry in front of an audience.
"Zachary, watch your tone!" Henry's anger spiked.
"I have been investigating Ellie's poisoning all this while and suspected there can be another reason for it." Zachary frowned as he added. "I reckoned the poison was in her tea served at the Seacrest Restaurant."
He raised his teacup and continued, "Currently, Bruce is following up with the investigation. I believe we will have the outcome soon."
"You mean it wasn't the Lindbergs who poisoned her? It was the staff from the restaurant?" Henry was surprised.
Charlotte gazed knowingly at Cynthia. This woman hides well. She concealed her emotions with her head lowered the entire time. It was how she masked her anxiety.
"Exactly." Zachary turned to Charlotte. "Unfortunately, the tea set was taken away by your people. Else I would've found the perpetrator."
"There's nothing on the tea set. I have it examined already," Charlotte replied.
"What do you mean?" Henry was confused. "Why would you take away the tea set if Zachary is the one investigating the matter?"
"Maybe to cover her tracks," Taylor sneered under his breath.
Charlotte glared at Taylor. This man is fake as plastic. His outward appearance may look gentle and elegant, but he is no different from his mute daughter.
"That's enough." Zachary switched the topic. "Talking doesn't prove anything. Since everyone's here, let's finish breakfast quietly. Everyone, please head back to your respective seats."
"Right." Taylor agreed and served Henry a bowl of oatmeal. "Mr. Nacht, let's have breakfast first."
He then set a glass of milk in front of Cynthia. "Cynthia, let's eat."
Henry didn't have an appetite because he was worried Charlotte would take the kids away. After pondering for a while, he spoke sombrely.
"There are no outsiders here. So I'll speak frankly. I have written my will. After I pass, the kids will inherit all my wealth and assets. I didn't leave anything for the rest, including Zachary, Zara, and Chris." Everyone was baffled at his sudden announcement.
Charlotte was surprised by his decision. Henry was a very wealthy man, so it was shocking for him to leave everything to her kids and none to his children.
If so, the three kids' net worth would be way much higher than their parents'.
"I have included a note. All my wealth and assets will be donated to the GJ Foundation if any harm befalls the kids. None would be left for the rest, including their parents and relatives. "Before they reach adulthood, Zachary will be managing it. It will be transferred to their accounts when they reached twenty years of age. But they will need Zachary's and Spencer's approval. "Charlotte, you're a mother. So I sincerely hope you can consider your children's future."
Charlotte kept silent. She wasn't surprised by the amount of wealth and assets. Instead, what surprised her was Henry's careful ministration in consideration of the kids.
The remarks in his will are for protecting the kids' safety and welfare. It's also his way to inform Zara not to fight for his inheritance because he didn't leave any for her. Even Zachary won't get anything.
Also, they can't even think about using nasty tactics to steal the inheritance from the kids. If anything happens to the kids, they won't get to see any of it at all.
