    Chapter 148 Revealed Their Conspiracy


    Renee hurriedly said, “The police said the fire was caused by old wiring. How would there be a


    murder? Peter is already dead, isn’t he?”


    “Do you think Peter is the real culprit? If he were, he wouldn’t have been killed in the detention center.”

    After Remington spoke, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Cynthia asked, “Remi, how did


    Peter die? How would he be killed in the detention center?”


    Everyone waited for an answer, and Remington exined, “Someone added a toxin called Tabun to


    Peter’s drinking water, which caused his death. And I have investigated and found out that Peter’s


    mineral water was tampered with before it was sent to the police. The one who canmit a crime


    under the nose of the police and kill Peter without leaving a trace must be very cun ning.” Remington’s


    sharp gaze swept over the faces of Renee, Carlos, and


    Renee’s eyes flickered slightly, while Carlos showed no expression.


    Samuel remained calm andposed, asking, “Who the h*ll was so cruel as to do such a thing? Have


    you found the person who poisoned Peter?”


    “Of course I have!” Remington shouted, “Winger!”


    Soon, Winger brought in a middle-aged man who seemed honest. and straightforward.


    Carlos’s eyes darkened when he saw the man being brought in.


    “This is Edward, the cook responsible for making food for the detention center. Peter died after eating


    the food and drinking the water he provided,” Winger exined.


    Gabrie asked, “Edward, did you have any grudges with Peter? Why did you kill him?”


    Edward looked troubled and remained silent.


    Remington snapped, “Edward, now is your chance toe clean. Why did you kill Peter?”


    Edward nced at Remington and quickly cast a nce at Carlos, who was standing beside him,


    hesitant to speak.


    “Do you want me to remind you of it?” Remington took a document

    from Winger. “This is your personal ount statement. On the third day after Peter’s death, you


    received 75 thousand dors. Tell me, how did you get the money?”


    Remington’s imposing aura made Edward break out in a cold sweat and his hands tremble


    uncontrobly.


    “Well….”


    Edward instinctively looked toward Carlos.


    Meanwhile, Carlos frowned and gave him a cold, intimidating stare, secretly exerting pressure on him.


    Edward broke out in even more cold sweat, not knowing what to do. “Edward, I’m giving you onest


    chance. If you don’t tell the truth, you’ll be the one going to jail,” Remington threatened.


    Upon hearing Remington’s words, Edward was so scared that he got down to his knees.


    “No, please don’t! I’ll tell you. It was him who transferred 75 thousand dors to me.


    Edward pointed his finger at Carlos.


    Carlos immediately rebuked, “Shut up! Do you have any proof to support your im? I don’t even know


    you. How can you nder me here?”


    “Carlos Minton!”


    Remington snorted coldly, which startled everyone.


    He raised the transfer details and angrily questioned, “Are you sure you don’t know him? Since you


    don’t know each other, why did you transfer the money to Edward’s ount with your own ount?


    Can you exin it?”


    Everyone looked at Carlos, and Cynthia was surprised. “What does this have to do with Carlos?”


    “Remington, what’s going on? Are you mistaken? How did it involve Carlos?” Gabrie asked, also


    confused. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Carlos hurriedly exined, “Madam Nelson, Mr. Nelson, I’m innocent. Actually, Edward and I are from


    the same hometown. He met some difficulties recently and asked me to lend him money, so I


    transferred 75 thousand dors to him to help him out of his


    predicament. There is no other reason, and it has nothing to do with Peter’s death.”

    Remington snorted. “Carlos, didn’t you just say that you didn’t know him? Howe now you’re saying


    you’re from the same hometown?”


    Carlos’s contradictory words raised suspicions among those present.


    Remington continued, “Your exnation is logical, but you have overlooked one thing. I have found


    records of your private purchases of venomous snakes and Tabun toxin from the ck market. Is this


    all just a coincidence?”


    Remington presented two pieces of evidence, and Samuel asked Carlos in shock, “Carlos, you are an


    old butler of our Nelson family. Why would you want to kill Peter?”


    Samuel then turned to Remington and asked, “Remington, Carlos has always been cautious and


    conscientious. Could it be that he has any hiddenints?”


    Remington stared at his father with cold eyes. “Of course, he has. Since you said Carlos has always


    been cautious and diligent, how could he have the courage to kill someone? So, someone is


    manipting him from behind the scenes.”


    Feeling ufortable under Remington’s gaze, Samuel turned his face and asked, “Carlos, you better


    fell the truth. Is someone manipting you from behind the scenes?”


    At this point, Carlos couldn’t make any more excuses and could only take full responsibility.


    “No one is manipting me. I just sought revenge by myself because I held a grudge against Peter


    after a previous unpleasant incident.”


    Carlos’s exnation left everyone present feeling unable to understand or believe.


    After all, Carlos had earned everyone’s respect with his behaviors and character in the Nelson family.


    Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to serve as the family’s butler until now.


    It was hard to believe that he retaliated against Peter because of some personal grudges.


    “Carlos, why are you taking all the me on yourself? Who are you trying to protect? Do you need me


    to point it out for you?” Remington asked.


    Renee tensed up, but she could only pretend to remain calm on the surface.

    “Since you don’t speak, let me help you. You’re trying to protect this woman, aren’t you?” Remington


    pointed his finger at Renee.


    It caused Renee to panic. “Why are you pointing at me? What does it have to do with me?” she asked.


    “You still don’t want to admit it? Actually, it was all your plot. You ordered Carlos to get rid of me while I


    was still recovering from my illness, didn’t you?”


    Remington continued, “That’s why Carlos found Peter and instructed him to put a venomous snake in


    my room, hoping it would bite me. Fortunately, the snake was killed by Cecelia and Peter was caught.”


    Then he turned his head and added, “Carlos, you were afraid Peter would reveal your secret, so you


    bribed Edward to poison and kill him, right? So, it was you who killed Peter to silence him, and Renee,


    you cun ning and vicious woman! It was you who tried to murder me with the snack.”


    After hearing Remington’s analysis, Cynthia stomped her feet and cursed, “Da’n it! Renee! What the


    hell are you trying to do? Do you want to kill my brother to help your children inherit the family


    property?”


    Gabrie couldn’t believe it either. “Renee, is what Remington said true? Why did you do such a thing?


    How could you hurt my grandson?”


    Samson was extremely shocked. “Mom, did you really try to kill Remington?’


    Samuel angrily questioned, “Renee, why did you try to hurt Remington? How could you do that?”


    “No! I didn’t do it. How could I do such a thing?”


    Renee put on a very innocent look and asked Remington,


    “Remington, I know you don’t like me because you have a prejudice against me. Is that why you


    suspect me?”
