“You…” Cynthia stared at Zachary in bewilderment.
“What are you trying to do?” Henry frowned.
“Ok, let’s stop the act.” Zachary waved his hand.
Ben immediately pulled his phone out and projected a video on a white screen.
Very soon, the video started to play…
It was a CCTV footage from Nacth residence from two days ago.
“What is this?”
Everyone stared at the screen.
The first clip was during Charlotte’s arrival at Nacht residence.
Cynthia and Taylor were having a discussion in Zachary’s study.
“This is not the time to back down. After doing so much and arriving at the cusp of success, I cannot retreat from this!”
“We’re only avoiding her for a while. It’s not like we’re not coming back. She has yet to recover her memory. But, if she finds out that you masqueraded as her during the wedding, she will definitely strangle you to death. Also, if she knew that you planted the…”
“This is Zachary’s study. I hope there aren’t any CCTVs in here.”
The second clip showed Cynthia leaving the study and instructing Freya what to do in a quiet corner with hand gestures.
Freya was then seen moving stealthily towards Ellie’s room with a bowl of herbal concoction. Along the way, she poured a packet of medicinal powder into the broth.
The third clip showed Freya and two medical staff forcing Ellie to drink the medicine. Freya even pinned her down and tried to force the medication down her throat.
Luckily for Ellie, Jamie and Fifi were around to stop Freya from doing so. Hence, Ellie only drank a little bit. However, the drug quickly took effect.
Henry was trembling with rage as he watched. He pointed at Cynthia and yelled furiously. “You… How dare you…”
Cynthia went pale with fright and panicked. She never thought that her actions would be recorded on surveillance cameras. But why are there surveillance cameras in the Nacht residence?
I thought they don’t have it…
“Don’t fret. Watch on.” Zachary reminded.
The fourth clip showed Jamie carrying Ellie on his back as they went downstairs to look for Charlotte.
Cynthia gestured at Blackwoods’ medical staff. She quickly ran behind Jamie and pushed him down the stairs.
As Jamie and Ellie tumbled down the stairs, Cynthia rushed forward in an attempt to break their fall.
However, everything was done just to gain sympathy.
The fifth clip was about Zachary carrying Charlotte, who went into relapse, back home.
Frustrated, Cynthia carried her medical kit upstairs when Zachary wasn’t around and used Zachary as an excuse. She then tried to pierce Charlotte with a needle.
But who would have thought that Charlotte managed to defend herself and Cynthia pierced her own face instead?
That would also mean that the poison needle belonged to her all along.
The sixth clip showed Taylor and Cynthia in a room.
Taylor just found out that Cynthia had been disfigured. Their conversation and the way they told the medical staff to take the medical kit clearly indicated that Cynthia was the one behind it all…
The seventh clip showed Cynthia instructing Taylor to get Freya to prepare the medicine after Henry and Zachary left.
She even instructed the two medical staff to poison Charlotte.
The eighth clip was about the two medical staff poisoning the medicinal broth.
The truth was revealed after these eight clips.
Cynthia slumped on the floor in despair.
She could no longer talk her way out of this.
Everything she had done up till now was presented clearly in front of everyone. It felt as if she had been stripped naked and placed under the sun with nowhere to hide.
“Y-You…”
Henry trembled with rage. He pointed at Cynthia with his frail hand. He wanted to chastise her but couldn’t come up with anything to say. He placed a hand on his chest and almost had a heart attack.
“Mr. Nacht…” Taylor fell on his knees and begged. “Jealousy got the better of Cynthia. She never once thought of hurting Zachary. She just wanted to stay by his side. Please forgive her.”
