Chapter 632
“No, there’s not going to be an ‘or,“” Alexander remarked while waving in disagreement. ” They’ll only
pin it on Justin.”
The elders treated Lily as an outsider to this issue, even though they wanted to form a coup, take over
as the family head, and reap the benefits that came with it.
However, it would be challenging for the elders to overthrow Justin as the family head if they did not
push the cause of Wilfred’s death onto the scented candles he had used, primarily since the family
doctor had always overseen Wilfred’s health.
“That’s why I want to look for the culprit who sabotaged the scented candles as soon as possible,” Lily
said while frowning, “Justin said he, Roger, and I were the only ones who directly came in contact with
the scented candles.
“However, Roger has been with our family for a long time and has been unwaveringly loyal to Grandpa,
so it can’t be him. I don’t understand. How and when did the culprit do this?”
Alexander deduced, “The Lodge family’s residence is huge, and several people come and once.
Besides, so many people come for training in the morning, so it’s hard to ensure that no go at
other person had access to the scented candles.”
“No, that’s not possible.” Lily shook her head. “Even though there were other people from the branch
family, they only stayed in the outer hall. They were not allowed to enter the main family’s residential
area, particularly Grandpa’s living space. They were forbidden to enter.”
Lily paused for a moment, then continued, “We don’t have security cameras in the main house, but
since we train in self–defense, we have a more keen sense of hearing. No one could’ve snuck past
without others noticing.”
“Then Roger is the only one who could’ve done it,” Alexander concluded.
“No way!” Lily quickly denied it and shook her head. “Our family trusted Roger. Even Justin did, so it
can’t be him.”
“All right. Now, we only need to remove any uncertainties by ensuring that couldn’t have happened.
Ultimately, we’ll be able to obtain an accurate result, regardless of how unlikely it may seem.” Then
Alexander stood up and stretched his arms. “Let’s go.”
“Go where?” Lily stared at him wide–eyed, obviously surprised by his sudden change.
Alexander lowered his head to look at his wife and said half–jokingly, “We’ve just had our meal, and it’s
time to walk it off. Besides, I haven’t fully explored where you once lived, so it’s time you brought me
around!”
Lily was silent for a moment as she looked outside. It was already dark, but the house’s front porch was
still brightly lit.
‘Alex is right. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past since it’s the same Lodge family I once knew.
This is where I grew up, after all. It’s my house, so why should I feel afraid?‘ Lily thought.
“Sure, why not!” She smiled gladly.
Chary+632
At the Tanner family’s company building, Arianna entered their new project manager’s room after
knocking on the door to inform him she was coming in.
A strong scent greeted Arianna when she entered. She took a few steps back while coughing. and
sneezing for a while before her body managed to adjust to the smell.
“What on earth are you doing?” She frowned while waving one of her hands back and forth, with the
other covering her nose. She noticed many bottles scattered around in his room, and some of the
bottles were releasing gasses that made the room smell strange. Arianna was having a hard time
catching her breath here.
“If you want to kill yourself with these gases, could you do it elsewhere instead of inside the company
building?!” She walked further into the room and opened the window. Then she turned to look at
Nathaniel and said, “We need to talk.”
