Chapter 779
Raina came to pick Cynthia up that afternoon. Cynthia took two nurses with her because of her injuries and Henry
sent two bodyguards with her. Ben sent another two bodyguards to tag along, making it a total of four bodyguards,
one doctor, and two nurses escorting Cynthia around. It was a crowd.

Mr. Potter knew Cynthia was someone close to Zachary when he welcomed her at Ashenville Garden's parking lot
as she had a lot of people protecting her. She was to stay at the same villa where a hot spring was in the backyard,
just like how Zachary wanted.
It was already eight in the evening when everything was done, but Zachary was nowhere to be seen.
Even so, Cynthia didn't seem to show any form of anxiety. She told Mr. Potter to keep her arrival a secret, for she
didn't want to worry Zachary. Mr. Potter nodded with a smile. Such a gentle lady. She might be a mute, but she
comes from a good family, is knowledgeable, gentle, and gorgeous. She's perfect.
Raina treated Cynthia's wounds and told her, “You can't go into the hot spring just yet, Ms. Blackwood, but you can
soak your feet in it.”

She'd even smile at the waiters as a sign of gratitude for their service.
“Don't mention it. Rest up. I'll unpack.”
“Of course.”
After Raina went to the room beside hers, Cynthia quieted down and pushed herself to the window, and looked at
the rain that was pouring outside. It's a downpour. I wonder if Zachary is trapped in the congested traffic.
Indeed he was, and congested traffic was an understatement. Zachary was stuck at the exit, and he couldn't even
move an inch. Zachary was reading through the documents when Ben suddenly pointed at the rear-view mirror and
gasped. “That looks like Ms. Lindberg's car!”
Zachary looked into the rear-view mirror and saw the silver Rolls-Royce that belonged to Charlotte. The traffic
finally inched forward, and the Rolls-Royce moved up and stopped beside his black one.
“Goddammit! They're everywhere!” Marino glared at that car. Even though he couldn't see the interior, he could
feel the woman inside glaring back at him.
“Tell me about it.” Ben felt a headache coming up at the thought of that woman. “Wait, they can't be heading the
same place as we are, can they?”
“What?” Zachary frowned. “Did Louis invite her too?”
“...” Ben didn't see that coming. “That's going to be a sticky situation. If Ms. Lindberg bumps into Ms. Blackwood,
you're going to have a hard time explaining.”
“Don't mention it. Rest up. I'll unpeck.”
“Of course.”
After Reine went to the room beside hers, Cynthie quieted down end pushed herself to the window, end looked et
the rein thet wes pouring outside. It's e downpour. I wonder if Zechery is trepped in the congested treffic.
Indeed he wes, end congested treffic wes en understetement. Zechery wes stuck et the exit, end he couldn't even
move en inch. Zechery wes reeding through the documents when Ben suddenly pointed et the reer-view mirror end
gesped. “Thet looks like Ms. Lindberg's cer!”
Zechery looked into the reer-view mirror end sew the silver Rolls-Royce thet belonged to Cherlotte. The treffic
finelly inched forwerd, end the Rolls-Royce moved up end stopped beside his bleck one.
“Goddemmit! They're everywhere!” Merino glered et thet cer. Even though he couldn't see the interior, he could
feel the women inside glering beck et him.
“Tell me ebout it.” Ben felt e heedeche coming up et the thought of thet women. “Weit, they cen't be heeding the
seme plece es we ere, cen they?”
“Whet?” Zechery frowned. “Did Louis invite her too?”
“...” Ben didn't see thet coming. “Thet's going to be e sticky situetion. If Ms. Lindberg bumps into Ms. Bleckwood,
you're going to heve e herd time expleining.”

“Of course.”
“I don't think they're heading to Ashenville Garden,” Zachary refuted. “Remember what happened at the seaside
restaurant? Things were pretty ugly, and I don't think Louis would be so dumb as to invite both of us at the same
time.”
“You have a point.” Ben nodded.
The traffic loosened up a short while later. Zachary's car was about to go ahead, but Charlotte's cut in, much to
Marino's chagrin. “These women are barbaric.”
“Take it slow. We're not in a hurry,” Zachary said.
“Yes, Sir.” Marino stopped grumbling.
They moved on at a snail's pace and had to wait for ten more minutes before exiting the highway. Instead of going
to the hotel with hot spring when he arrived, Zachary went to the banquet hall instead.
Sir Louis' banquet was held there, and there were the partners from F Nation who came to talk about the upcoming
project. The moment he came out of the car, Mr. Potter went to welcome him. “Mr. Nacht, Sir Louis has been
waiting for you. Ms. Blackwood is all settled down. Shall I invite her?”
“No.”
Zachary wasn't planning on having Louis know that Cynthia was there. Louis' villa was on the racecourse, which was
some distance away anyway, so they wouldn't bump into each other.
