Chapter 978


    Chapter 978


    In the garden, a thorough interrogationsting ten minutes revealed no major issues in the expressions or exnations of all


    involved.


    Elliot turned to Lionel and said, “Call in the special investigative team. Have the Nicholls residence thoroughly inspected and


    notify the medical examiner. Also, take Madam Nicholls for an autopsyter.”


    “Right on it.”


    Lionel nodded and stepped away to make a call in a quiet corner.


    After the servants and chefs had been cleared of suspicion, Elliot instructed them to return to their duties.


    The garden quickly grew quiet.


    Suddenly, Frank seemed to remember something important.


    “Mr. Jenkins, | recall something else very important.”


    Elliot turned back, his handsome face expressionless.


    “Go on.”


    “Two nights ago, Mr. Nathaniel stole my key and secretly went upstairs during the banquet. Nobody knows why he went up there,


    but when Mr. Romello found out, he punished him severely,” Frank exined.


    Elliot''s eyebrows furrowed, narrowing his eyes narrowed as his tone grew colder.


    “Tell me everything.”


    “Mr. Nathaniel denied stealing the keys at the time. But yesterday afternoon, at bodyguard found the keys to the top floor buried


    shallowly in the garden, confirming that Mr. Nathaniel did indeed go upstairs.


    “Mr. Jenkins, | hate to say it, but Mr. Nathaniel has a history of stealing from theb, and his rtionship with Mr. Romello has


    never been good. This time... it''s highly likely that he intentionally poisoned Madam Nicholls!”


    Lionel had just returned from his call and overheard Frank’s words.


    He retorted sternly, “Mr. Abbott, isn’t your attitude toward them too biased? While

    Nathaniel has a prior record, he was released on bail by Mr. Corey, and as of now, he’s innocent. We should proceed based on


    evidence, not assumptions just because of his past. Understand?”


    Embarrassed, Frank lowered his head.


    “Yes, Captain Lionel | was just expressing suspicions. At the end of the day, Mr. Jenkins will be the one investigating and making


    the final decision.”


    Despite trying to smooth things over, Elliot and Lionel’s expressions remained cold and


    serious.


    Bringing up the theft of the top floor key at this critical moment was clearly aimed at implicating Nathaniel


    If he were found guilty, Nathaniel’s life would be ruined forever.


    The atmosphere in the garden suddenly grew tense.


    Romello, who had managed topose himself after his grief, emerged from the mansion with swollen eyes and walked straight


    toward Elliot


    “Mr. Jenkins, | need to get to the bottom of this. Nathaniel stole the key and sneaked into the top floor, even entering my mother’s


    room. He’s the prime suspect right now, and | demand to question him myself.”


    Elliot turned to meet Romello’s tear—filled, angry eyes but remained silent


    Lionel lowered his head, masking his intense displeasure.


    Allowing Romello to interrogate Nathaniel would likely result in Nathaniel’s life being ruined in a day, possibly leaving him


    permanently disabled.


    “Mr. Jenkins, you suspected Phoebe was being held captive by me, halting my duties and ordering me to stay home for


    investigation. It''s been over a week, and there’s been little progress. Shouldn’t | return to the National Investigation Bureau to


    handle my mother’s case?” Romello pressed.


    Elliot scoffed, “What do youtes

    “| want Nathaniel dead or crippled.”


    As he said that, he met Elliot’s gaze without flinching.


    The two locked eyes in a tense standoff, the air thick with tension for a full minute.


    Finally, Elliot relented, giving Lionel a subtle signal.


    Lionel understood and produced the arrest warrant for Romello.


    “Mr. Romello, I’m sorry to inform you, but Nathaniel has used you of imprisoning your own sister and mother, drugging them,


    and attempting to poison Mr. Jenkins,” Lionel stated.


    “Therefore, Mr. Romello, you are also a suspect and have no authority to interrogate


    others.


    “Please apany us to the interrogation room. You and Nathaniel will be questioned, and Mr. Jenkins will thoroughly


    investigate the crimesmitted by both of you!”
