The news struck Cedrick and Nico like a bolt from the blue.
After sharing a look with each other, Cedrick quickly recomposed himself and said, “All right, I’ll go to
the Newton residence to take a look at the situation. You carry on with your work.”
“Yes, Mr. Jenson.”
With another bow, Jasper left.
Once Jasper was gone, Nico moved closer to Cedrick and whispered, “Cedrick, Neville and Swain’s
teams are still stationed five hundred meters away from the Newton residence. Do we still… arrest
him?”
Cedrick calmly replied, “Something’s fishy about this, and we’re not going to rush headlong into this.
Have them remain in their positions and await further orders. Take a copy of the evidence you’ve sorted
out and bring along the arrest warrant. Pay attention to my actions and act accordingly.”
“Understood.”
The two men then left the Federal Bureau of Investigation and went into the car to head toward the
Newton residence.
Sure enough, chaos had erupted at the Newton residence. The housekeepers and bodyguards were so
busy that no one welcomed Cedrick and Nico when they walked in.
Sorrow had taken over the villa.
When Jasmine and Lucas found out about the tragic news, they rushed back to the family house as
well. Nico grabbed one of the male housekeepers and asked, “Where’s Mr. Craig?”
“He’s on the top floor. He’s in a terrible mood after finding out what happened to Mrs. Newton.”
At that, Cedrick and Nico instantly went to the highest floor. The third room to the left was full of people.
Craig was holding onto Caylie’s body, which was already cold and stiff as he sat on the bed in a
melancholic daze.
It was Cedrick’s first time seeing Craig with swollen eyes and a desolated expression.
Even Lucas and Jasmine’s eyes were red. The air in the room was heavy with grief.
Cedrick raked his gaze across the room before pulling the tearful butler Karl aside.
Karl quietly followed him until they reached the end of the corridor.
“Mr. Jenson, Mr. Craig has just lost his mother. He might not be able to welcome you properly in his
grieving moment, so please forgive us for that.”
Cedrick sighed softly and said, “My condolences to the family for the loss of Mrs. Newton.”
“Thank you.”
Right then, Nico took a step forward and said, “Mister, please tell Mr. Jenson what happened in detail.
Mr. Jenson will… bring justice for the Newton family.”
Karl sniffled and wiped his tears away with his sleeve as he mulled over what happened.
“The housekeeper was bringing breakfast to Mrs. Newton’s room, and that was when she found out
that Mrs. Newton was gone. Mrs. Newton is a kind woman with loving children. She lived a happy life,
so there’s no way she would have committed suicide.
Moreover, Mr. Jenson had checked her earlier. There aren’t any obvious external or fatal injuries on
her. However, her lips are purple. Someone must have poisoned her. Mr. Jenson, please help Mr. Craig
and Mrs. Newton with this!”
Cedrick drew his brows and went into a solemn silence.
Nico then remarked, “But the top floor of the Newton residence has always been locked. If Mrs. Newton
didn’t end her own life, who else could have gotten into her room?”
Karl pondered about that. “Mrs. Newton doesn’t like going outside, so this will be easy to find out.
There are only a few housekeepers who deliver food to her. I wonder if this originated from the kitchen.”
“Gather the housekeepers who deliver food to her, the cooks, and the grocery shoppers to the garden.
I’m going to interrogate them all,” Cedrick instructed in a serious tone.
After tugging on his sleeve, he turned and went downstairs.
Karl obediently followed him.
Meanwhile, Nico stood by the doorway and stared at the situation in the room for a few more seconds.
before sighing and going after Cedrick.
The interrogation at the garden lasted around ten minutes, but Cedrick found nothing amiss wit their
expressions and explanations.
Turning to Nico, Cedrick said, “Get the Special Investigation Team to come here and check the entire
Newton residence. Inform the forensic about this as well. We’ll be sending Mrs. Newton for an autopsy
later.”
“Sure.”
Nico nodded and ran to a corner to make the call.
After Cedrick dispelled the initial suspicions of the housekeepers and cooks, he instructed them to
resume their duties.
The garden soon returned to its earlier peacefulness. Seemingly recalling something, Karl gasped and
said, “Mr. Jenson, I recalled something that is important.”
Cedrick turned around and uttered in a flat tone, “Speak.”
“Mr. Charles stole my key two nights ago and went to the highest floor during the party. I don’t know
why he was there, but Mr. Craig punished him when he found out about it.”
Cedrick knitted his brows and narrowed his dark eyes. His tone was getting icier and icier as he said,
“Do tell me more about it.”
Karl continued, “Mr. Charles refused to admit that he stole the key. It was last afternoon when the
bodyguard found the key to the top floor which was partially buried in the garden did they finally confirm
that Mr. Charles has been to the highest floor. To be honest, Mr. Jenson, Mr. Charles once stole lab
drugs. He doesn’t have a good relationship with Mr. Craig, so it’s likely that… he poisoned Mrs.
Newton.”
Nico, who just wrapped up his calls, came back in time to hear the butler utter those words.
He promptly retaliated by saying, “Don’t you think you have double standards on both Charles and
Craig? While Charles has a history of that, he was bailed by Mr. Asher. Now, it’s proven that he was not
guilty. We have to do everything professionally and not accuse someone of doing something just
because they have a history. Do you understand?”
Karl sheepishly lowered his head. “You’re right, Mr. Nico. I was just… suspicious. Mr. Jenson, please
do look for evidence before you come to a conclusion.”
Despite Karl’s apologetic smile, Cedrick and Nico remained somber.
Clearly, they were targeting Charles by only mentioning the theft of the key at a time like this. If Charles
was found guilty of this crime, he would never be able to turn his life around anymore.
The atmosphere turned tense in the garden.
Right then, Craig, who had recollected himself but still had red eyes, walked out of the villa and straight
toward Cedrick.
“Mr. Jenson, I insist on a proper conclusion to this matter. Charles has stolen the key, snuck to the top
floor, and went into my mother’s room. He’s the biggest suspect right now, and I want to interrogate him
personally.”
Cedrick turned to look straight into Craig’s bloodshot and angry eyes for a while.
In the meantime, Nico lowered his head to conceal the wrath in his own eyes.
If Craig had his way and interrogated Charles, the latter would suffer torture worse than living hell in no
time.
As a matter of fact, Charles might end up crippled.
“Mr. Jenson, you suspended me when you suspected that I locked Jennifer up. I had to wait at home
while the investigation went on, but it’s been a week since then, and I haven’t heard of any progress.
Don’t you think that I should return to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to deal with my mother’s
matter first?”
Cedrick scoffed. “Who are you going to deal with?”
“The black sheep of the Newton family, Charles Newton.”
Craig’s gaze was vicious as he hissed, “Don’t you hate him too, Mr. Jenson? He has to be punished for
this, his illegal departure from the country, Nico’s biting incident, and obstruction of justice. I want
Charles ruined even if I can’t have him dead!”
By the end of his speech, he was gritting out every single word as he stared right at Cedrick, not at all
afraid.
The two glared at each other for a minute as sparks began to fly between their eyes.
Finally, Cedrick averted his gaze to look at Nico,
Knowing what Cedrick meant, Nico took out Craig’s arrest warrant. “My apologies, Mr. Newton, but
Charles has claimed that you’re imprisoning your sister and mother and controlling them with drugs.
Moreover, you tried to poison Mr. Jenson. So, Mr. Newton, you’re now a suspect too. You don’t have
the right to interrogate another suspect. Please come with us to the interrogation room where Charles
is detained as well. Mr. Jenson will be looking into both of your cases.”
