Chapter 986

Cynthia wept as she asked these questions. She broke down mentally and emotionally. She wept, losing all hope...

See her in this manner, Zachary's severe accusing gaze slowly diminished...

She was telling the truth. She was just an outsider who was totally uninvolved. It was the Nacht family who dragged her in and gave her hope. Then, they pushed her out into the depths of despair... No one could have accepted that type of treatment easily.

As a matter of fact, when Henry opposed his relationship with Charlotte earlier on, this sinful idea did cross Zachary's mind...

If Henry had insisted on Zachary marrying one of the Blackwood daughters, setting aside the ill-natured Sharon, he would really consider the gentle Cynthia!

However, he quickly put that idea away.

The reason was that it would destroy someone's life.

Furthermore, it would not be fair to Charlotte.

Hence, he did not act upon that idea.

Nevertheless, it never occurred to Zachary that Henry would go behind him and pull this trick on him. Of course, it was done with Taylor's support.

The crying of a mute was very penetrating, full of despair and grief over life.

Perhaps from her point of view, she was indeed an innocent victim. As she said, she was living humbly in her own world and had already accepted her fate. Out of the blue, someone suddenly gave her great hope. Of course, she would do everything to hold on to that hope...

"Mr. Nacht, I beg you. Please let Cynthia live." With a thud, Taylor knelt down, crying and begging, "Fortunately, there is no serious harm done. Ellie has almost fully recovered. Zachary and Ms. Lindberg were not poisoned. Cynthia's face is destroyed and that will be her punishment. If you can let us go, we will go far away and never come into your lives again. It was all my fault for not teaching my daughter well. Please, I beg of you to give her a chance!"

"If you had tried to harm me, I could forgive her," Charlotte continued, "but she poisoned my daughter. I'll never let her off just like this!"

"She had no intention of harming Ellie..."

"She has to be responsible for her actions even if it was not intentional!" Charlotte yelled. "Though the first poisoning was directed at me, did she think about the consequences when she administered poison to Ellie? Ellie was once robust and healthy. Look at what she has become now! She can't even stand up! This toxin is likely to bring her lifelong side effect! You say she has recovered. Is she the healthy robust child she once was?"

Taylor was silenced by her yelling. There was nothing he could say.

"No matter who she poisons, it is unforgivable." Zachary was very cold and distant. "I will not lynch you, but I will let the law punish you. This is my last kindness to you! I have submitted all the evidence to the police and the police car should be here soon. Prepare to spend the rest of your life in prison."

"Ahh..."

Cynthia cried, shaking her head vigorously as she picked up the fruit knife from the table and attempted to cut her own wrist. Bruce leaped forward and took the knife away, pushing her onto the floor. "If you die here, how could we explain to the police?"

"No, death will not come so easily to you," Lupine said, gritting her teeth, "You should die a slow painful death."

Cynthia's palm was cut by the knife and blood was dripping onto the floor where she slumped crying desperately...

"Mr. Nacht, I beg you. Please let her go..." Again, Taylor pleaded with Henry, "For the time I saved Harrison, please forgive Cynthia, this time. She is so young, please don't let her do time in jail."

"Just because you saved my father once, the Nacht family has protected your Blackwood family all our lives. Haven't we already finished paying back the favor?" Zachary was angry. "Your daughter is in this situation all because of you!"
