Anthony, who was next door, heard this and squinted his eyes to think, “Is Zoe hurt? What happened?” He glanced at Kennedy who was in front, and wanted to ask her. However, he still knew what he should do, so he hurried to put the cane away and said to George smiling, -Grandpa, don’t be so angry. And if he really gets hurt, who will take care of the company? As he said that, he placed the cane down.
Hearing that, Jorge said angrily, “Injuring him will be better for him, this way he will understand how serious his mistake was.
Anthony was still smiling as he spoke, -Grandfather, even though he has made a mistake, it would not be too late to ask for clarification before punishing him. You have beaten him without giving him any chance, even I think it is very unfair to him.
Hearing that, George narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, -Do you feel unfair to him?- He put away his cane and looked at Anthony, then glanced at Kennedy and let out a snort. He added, -Why, while Zoe is hurt, what have you got to feel unfair about?
Anthony pursed his lips and glanced at Kennedy, who remained expressionless on his face as if that blow hadn’t hurt.
-Grandfather, do you know what happened last night? -asked Kennedy.
At the mention of the previous night, Jorge immediately became enraged and snapped at him saying, “How is it possible that I don’t know? I asked you to go and see Zoe, but I hadn’t expected you to disappear after you left her hurt,” as he finished saying that, Jorge sat down to the side and threw his cane straight away, with a very noticeable fury.
Seeing this situation, Kennedy narrowed her eyes slightly and thought to herself, “Looks like Grandpa still doesn’t know about me being drugged last night. If he found out that his sweetheart Zoe had been so wicked making such nasty and despicable plots just to achieve her own untold goal, how would he feel?” Thinking about this, Kennedy flashed a mysterious smile.
Coincidentally, that laugh was conceived by George, and he asked with annoyance, -What are you laughing at?
Anthony saw Kennedy like that and began to think, “Shit! If I don’t reveal the truth, I’m afraid it will be harder for Kennedy to tell.” At this pivotal moment, Anthony was glad he had followed him.
So Anthony stepped forward and walked straight up to Jorge and whispered, -Grandpa, you just know that Zoe is hurt, but you don’t know the hidden reasons behind it.
Jorge looked at Anthony with much confusion and asked, -What reasons? Tell me, I am quite eager to know what kind of reason could make Kennedy hurt Zoe like that.
Anthony deliberated for a long time and looked at Kennedy. As he was organizing what he would say, suddenly Kennedy blurted out a sentence of surprise.
-Grandfather, if Zoe has done something despicable and shameless, will you still force me to commit myself to her?
George was irritated at these words and suddenly stood up, exclaiming, -What do you say? Clarify for me what this despicable and shameless thing means.
Actually, what Dylan had told him seemed reasonable and convincing, but he could find no reason to explain that Zoe had done anything to drive his grandson so mad as to harm her.
Kennedy remained calm, with an indifferent expression. He would only respond with a little flippancy, -Your grandson almost went to the hospital last night.
-What do you say?
Jorge gritted his teeth and looked at him. Finally he turned to Anthony to draw out the answer, -What the hell is going on here?
Anthony was speechless from such a sudden question. He was still organizing his words, not having waited for Kennedy to speak first, so he had no choice but to explain, saying, -Grandfather, what happened is this: although I was not at the scene, when I received Kennedy outside the house, who was quite unwell, he almost lost consciousness. As to the cause of his condition, I am sure there is no one else in this family but Zoe who would have drugged him.
Because Anthony had not expressed himself very clearly, Jorge only grasped a few key points: Kennedy had been drugged, because of that, he almost became unconscious, and then he was almost admitted to the hospital…. However, all that seemed absurd to him, so he shouted at him, -What nonsense are you talking about? You mean that Zoe wanted to hurt Kennedy? How is that possible? You know that before Zoe tried everything she could to take good care of Kennedy, how could she do something like that?
Anthony added, -Grandpa, I didn’t say Zoe wanted to hurt her, who said the drug must be poison?
Seeing that George still didn’t understand what she had drugged him with, Anthony decided to reveal it to him through the shape of his mouth. Not obsatent, Jorge still didn’t get it, so he squinted his eyes watching Anthony, and then Dylan, who was equally confused.
In a few seconds, the clever Dylan got it right just by analyzing Zoe’s obsession with Kennedy. The truth was that Dylan blushed at the thought that Zoe had drugged Kennedy with the aphrodisiac, and he began to cough slightly, “Sir, I think I’m clear on the drug Anthony mentioned.
-What is it? Tell me straight out.
Dylan looked into Kennedy’s expressionless face, then explained, -As we know Miss Zoe has no malicious intent to harm Smón, but she is madly for him. If this drug is not poison, I’m afraid it is Afro?
Jorge had never thought of it that way, because the Espinar family seemed to him decent and elegant, and that the children coming from that family would be equally so. He thought it was impossible for Zoe to have done something so despicable. Therefore, she could not understand Anthony even though she had done her best to make the allusion clearer. In the end, with Dylan the butler’s explanation and insinuation, Jorge managed to get it right: it was an aphrodisiac.
Just thinking about it, Jorge could not help but show an unpleasant expression.
Kennedy let out a very cold laugh and said, “You got the truth right. Therefore, you can also understand that she suffered from her own wickedness when she was unconscious. In that way, it’s not unfair to put all the blame on me, is it?
Anthony also echoed saying, -By the way, Grandpa, Kennedy did everything he could to keep her from getting away with it. What a will he had! That’s a rare thing for most. In my opinion, Zoe is just paying for her wrongdoing with her injury.
-Shut up,” Jorge shouted at Anthony and looked at him in disgust, “This is a matter between our family and Zoe, why did you get involved here?
Anthony didn’t know what to say because he had never expected that he would become the target. Instantly, he looked to Kennedy for help.
George was really stunned at that moment for not being able to accept reality, and he couldn’t believe at all that Zoe would do something like this. He had seen her grow up from a little girl, and she seemed thoughtful, kind. Moreover, she was gentle and polite to the grown-ups, and even paid special attention to take care of Kennedy when he was hurt. How could she possibly do something so dirty? She had drugged the others? what kind of person would she have to be to do that?
