The earth—-shattering news stunned Elliot and Lionel simultaneously.
After exchanging a nce, Elliot quickly regained hisposure and said, “Alright, I’ll go check out the Nicholls residence. You
focus on your tasks.”
“Understood, Mr. Jenkins.”
Jacob bowed respectfully and left.
When Jacob left, Lionel approached Elliot, whispering, “Elliot, Logan and Lance’s teams are still stationed 500 meters from the
Nicholls residence. Should we proceed with the arrest?”
Elliot remained calm and assessed, “This situation is suspicious. Let’s hold off for now. Keep them on standby and bring the
evidence you''ve gathered, along with the arrest warrant. We''ll act ording to my discretion when the timees.

The Nicholls residence was in chaos, with servants and bodyguards bustling about.
When Elliot and Lionel arrived, no one greeted them, and the entire mansion was shrouded in a somber atmosphere.
Upon hearing the tragic news, Gabrielle and Marius also rushed home.
Lionel grabbed a passing manservant and asked, “Where’s Mr. Romello?”
“He’s upstairs. Mr. Romello is deeply upset by Madam Nicholls’s passing.”
The two of them immediately headed upstairs, where the third room on the left was crowded with people.
Romello sat on the bed, holding Vanda’s lifeless body, lost in extreme grief.
It was the first time Elliot had seen Romello with swollen eyes, overwhelmed with
sorrow.
Even Marius and Gabrielle were crying, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely
bleak.
Elliot briefly scanned the room and then asked Frank, who was wiping his tears, to step
outside.
Frank obediently followed him, and they walked to the end of the quiet hallway together,
“Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Romello is overwhelmed with grief over the sudden loss of his mother. There may have been somepses in
hospitality. Please forgive us.”
Elliot sighed softly, his obsidian eyes betraying no emotion.
“Please extend my condolences to the Nicholls family for Madam Nicholls’s passing.”

Elliot frowned, and his expression turned serious,
Even so, he remained silent.
Lionel stepped forward and asked, “The top floor of the Nicholls residence is always locked. If Madam Nicholls didn’tmit
suicide, who could have entered?”
Frank pondered for a moment and replied, “Madam Nicholls rarely left her room, so this matter should be easy to investigate.
Normally, only a few servants deliver meals, so it might be rted to the kitchen.”
Elliot ordered, “Gather all the servants who routinely deliver meals, the chefs, and those responsible for purchasing fruits and
vegetables in the garden. | want to question them together.”
After that, he adjusted his uniform sleeves before turning to descend the stairs.
Frank obediently followed him.
Lionel stood at the door of Vanda’s room, taking another nce inside before sigling
and catching up with Elliot’s footsteps.
