Upon hearing her soothing words, Romello’s eyes reddened, and tears began to well up.
“Mom, I’m sorry. | want to live, and | don’t want to give up the honor and power | have now. | don’t want to end up in a high—
security prison, living like a walking corpse.”
He held the frail woman in his arms tighter.
“Don''t worry. It’s because of that illegitimate son’s appearance that your mental health began to deteriorate, leading to Gabrielle’s
disappearance. | know how much you hate him. | will make him pay.”
Marius returned that evening, rubbing his lower back with a mournful expression.
For the past few days, he had been forced to run errands at the National Investigation Bureau, and his whole body felt like it was
falling apart.
Romello was truly ruthless.
Marius had never been trained in martial arts and was physically weak.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
It was impossible for him to endure the high-intensity tasks at the National.
Investigation Bureau.
He felt like crying every day because of the unbearable torment. It was as if he were in
hell mode.
When would this end?
However, as he remembered Nathaniel’s brutal beatingst night, Marius was utterly terrified and suppressed his desire to curse
Romello.
He leaned against the wall, legs trembling, slowly inching into the garden.
As a manservant hurried past him, Marius stopped him.
“Where are you rushing off to? Come and help me.”
The servant hesitated for a moment before approaching, supporting Marius by the arm,
“I''m sorry, Mr. Marius. Mr. Romello is having the top floor cleared out. Everyone is busy, so they forgot to greet you.”
“Why is Homello clearing out the top floor?”
The servant shook his head and answered, “We don’t know. It’s already past six, and he wants everything cleared out by tonight,
or do we''ll all be in trouble.
Marius felt puzzled, but he was understanding
“Go about your business. No need to assist me. | can manage on my own.”
“Thank you for understanding, Mr. Marius”
The manservant bowed and hurried off to the backyard.
Marius watched his retreating figure, his suspicion deepening
Romello had suspected Nathaniel of stealing from the top floorst night, and now he wanted everything on the top floor cleared
out.
What was Romello up to?
Marius’s intuition told him there was definitely a secret going on.
He shuffled his steps slowly toward the backyard.
As he drew closer, the sound of shattering ss echoed.
Marius noticed many servants and bodyguards were in the backyard, including Frank. They were all busy with their tasks, paying
no attention to him.
Some were burning, some were smashing ss containers, and others were digging holes to bury something.
Marius looked at the hustle and bustle with a perplexed expression.

“Mr. Marius, these are all trash, things Mr. Romello wants to destroy. Don’t hurt
yourself. Everyone is busy, and we’re too upied to serve you. You should go back to the mansion. Dinner will be ready soon.”
Marius nodded absentmindedly.

“Alright, you guys carry on. I''ll head back to my room.”
“Take care, Mr. Marius,”
Frank bowed respectfully and turned to continue his work.
Marius observed the chaotle scene for a moment. When no one was looking, he quietly picked up the ss vial he had
examined earlier and quickly stashed it in his pocket.
Then, he left the backyard.
After a whole day of dealing with official matters, Elliot returned to E&S Haven to find the mischievous Gabrielle was there.
As they gathered around the dinner table that evening, Gabrielle could not take her eyes off Elliot''s face, staring at him intently.
