[Bonus chapter]Chapter 239 – I said nothing

Robin was moved by the sympathy shown to him by the audience, feeling touched to the core.  1

Whereas, the tears in Sabrina's eyes saddened his heart. 

He did not have the power to bring back his mother from her grave but would make sure that she gets the needed justice.

As for now, what mattered was ensuring that he got the confirmation of Zayla's confession from the culprit himself.

"Pour it on his face," Robin instructed the waiter emotionlessly, the latter froze.

"Excuse me, sir?" He asked with shock, as Robin spoke in annoyance,

"You heard me. Or I'll rather pour it on yours."

"I will do as you have said," the waiter quickly responded after confirming Robin's words.

He poured the water on the unconscious man and he jolted awake, shivering from the cold.

"Zayla, are you alright?" He asked when all the memories rushed back into his mind, regretting not leaving with his wife when she suggested it.

He was also amazed by how everyone glared at him as if they wanted to skin him alive. 

"How can I be fine?" Zayla asked sarcastically, wondering why her father would even ask such a question in the situation in which she found herself.

Robin's gaze, which carried so much loathe, pinned on the man sitting pathetically and soaked in cold water on the floor.

"Your daughter tells me that you gave my mother slow poison. Is that true?"

"Zayla?" Kennedy yelled on the floor beside his daughter, gross disappointment lacing his voice, as he knew that his end had come.

His well-hidden secret for all these years has been let out because of his stupid daughter. 

Zayla was annoyed that her father was still trying to cover up the truth even when it was glaring that there was no need to do so.

From all that she comprehended, she was doing this for both of them and her father should be grateful, instead of being ungrateful about it.

"Dad, let's tell him the truth. He said that he won't press charges if we confess," she spoke with confidence and hope, Sabrina was turning her head to the left and right, surprised that after Zayla had smartly put up so much to destroy her marriage, she remained extraordinarily stupid.

Her stupidity was like a crown on her head, not hidden and making the audience mock her in their hearts with a satisfactory glare.

"You are so stupid to believe that," Kennedy retorted in annoyance and Robin realized that the father still had his brains intact, unlike the daughter.

Nevertheless, it did not stop him from doing as he had planned. 

"Is the accusation true or not, Mr. Chance?" Robin asked with a scary calmness. 

Kennedy knew Robin quite well and knew he had tricked Zayla into telling him the truth but Kennedy was not going to fall for it. No, he was not going to allow himself to be deceived, and killed.

He was smart enough to know that Robin would never forgive him if he admitted it but made a mistake in denying it by saying,

"I didn't kill your mother."

The audience began to murmur things he could not hear clearly, as Robin broke them down for him.

"Nobody mentioned killing. Giving her poison does not mean that she died of it. It was a slow one anyway."

Robin was only trying to get him to admit that he gave the poison to his mother, for which reason he put it that way but Kennedy was not stupid. 

He was older than Robin and easily figured out what the young man was trying to do to an old fox like him.

"I didn't do anything," he stood his grounds and Robin shook his head, about to signal his bodyguard when Zayla interrupted her father,

"Dad, after you found out that the diamonds were fake, you mentioned that you killed Robin's mother in vain," Zayla confessed, Kennedy felt like slapping the folly out of her brain.

It seemed to him that Zayla could be smart today, but stupid tomorrow. Why would she not have the decency to remain wise in a situation like this for Christ's sake?

After everything she did, she still believed that Robin would be kind to her. How much more foolish could she be?

"I don't remember. Wherever you heard it from, go and find the person. I did not say anything like that. I don't even know his mother," Kennedy denied everything.

If he was able to make it out of there alive, he was sure to leave New York City for good, even if he had to do so on foot.

Zayla was taken aback by her father's indifference when she felt that their lives depended on the truth and went on speaking in front of the camera,

"You said it so why are you denying it now? Don't you want us to leave here alive?" She did not hide the anger in her tone but Kennedy was only angrier.

"Shut your stupid mouth. I said nothing!" He yelled, Zayla shifted backward on her ass, creating a distance between them on the floor.

Robin watched the pair, thinking about how to get the truth out of the father to confirm the daughter's words, so he could send them to prison before sending someone to finish them off.

"But she said that you and my father were friends before," Robin recounted calmly and Kennedy was lost for words, hating his daughter for being so foolish at a time like this.

However, since his daughter was creating this mess for him, she was going to lay in it alone, even if he had to deny her.

"I don't know where she got those ideas. I think a part of her brain is not functioning properly."

Robin looked at the bodyguard and this time around, for him not to faint, the bodyguard refrained from the slaps, rather pulling Kennedy roughly to his feet.

Grabbing his hand, the bodyguard tilted it to the back.

"Arrrrrrhhhhhhh," Kennedy screamed in pain.
