However, Zachary was too loud and covered Taylor's voice. Spencer was the only one in the room who heard Taylor yell.

As Zachary had stood out, Taylor fell silent.

“What else do you have to say?” Henry was so furious he pointed his cane right at Zachary. “Sharon didn't lie, did she? This woman put something in Sterk's coffee, right?”

“Yes, she did.” Zachary admitted it. “But she wasn't the one who poisoned Sharon.”

“Why are you still siding with her?” Anger welled up in Henry's chest. “Let me tell you. No one can save her today. Not even the president of the country! I swear I'll make her pay for what she did!”

“Mr. Nacht, please calm down,” Taylor advised. “Let's calm down and talk.”

“Take this wicked woman away!” Henry leaned on his cane and commanded indignantly. “If you dare to stop me, I won't only call the police. I'll punish her right here!”

“I dare you to do so!” Zachary bellowed.

“Try me!” Henry retorted, breathless with anger.

Charlotte tensed up and dared not move an inch.

She could sense the murderous intent in Henry's gaze. He's as ruthless as Zachary.

If this drags on, I might die here.

“You can't hurt her.”

Seeing how determined his grandfather was, Zachary panicked instantly. Henry hadn't killed anyone in years, but deep down, he was still a savage man.

“No one has ever stopped me from punishing someone.” Henry snickered icily. “Including you!”

“You can't touch her, because...” Zachary clenched his fists and frowned. He blurted out, “Because she wasn't the culprit. I was the one who poisoned Sharon!”

Everyone was astounded at his sudden announcement.

Their gazes flitted across Zachary, Charlotte, and Sharon in shock.

Sharon couldn't believe her ears.

She gripped the covers tightly, nearly ripping the fabric apart.

“What did you say?” Henry was stunned.

“I...” After a brief pause, Zachary made up a lie. “I didn't want to be forced into this marriage, so I ordered Ben to put something into Sharon's coffee.”

It was Ben's turn to be caught off guard.

“The poison won't hurt Sharon. She'll just suffer from a stomachache,” Zachary continued. “Perhaps Ben overdosed the poison, so she spat out blood and fainted.”

Ben's lips trembled silently. Mr. Nacht, how could you drag my name through the mud to save the damsel in distress?
