"Samuel, tell me, was it you or not? If you admit it right now, I can let this whole thing slide!"


    After turning it over and over in his mind, Lionel concluded that Samuel was the most likely person with the opportunity to pull something like this.


    He couldn''t think of anyone else who would do such a thing.


    After his usation hung in the air, the living room fell into a dead silence once more.


    Samuel simply rolled his eyes, leaned back into the couch, and couldn''t even be bothered to exin himself.


    Quennel''s brow furrowed, and he stared at Lionel in disbelief. He opened his mouth to say something, then shut it, letting out a long sigh beforepsing back into silence.


    Hannah, after a moment of careful consideration, finally spoke. “You think Samuel did it. Then tell me, when exactly do you think he did it?"


    Meanwhile, back at the Temple estate, Cherry, who was listening in,ughed so hard she rolled right off her bed and onto the floor.


    "I can''t! I just can''t! This is killing me! How can anyone be this stupid?"


    She reached up to wipe away tears ofughter.


    [Cherry]: On one hand, you have to admit Lionel isn''t aplete idiot for figuring out the name was changed. But on the other hand, he''s a total moron for immediately suspecting you.


    [Samuel]: Well, in a way, I was involved. I was the one who called the guy over.


    [Cherry]: He could rack his brains forever and he''d never guess the three of us did it together.


    After all, the truth was so absurd that Lionel would never have been able to figure it out.


    It was so bizarre that even if Hannah told him the truth outright, he probably wouldn''t believe her.


    "It must have been him. As soon as he got the letter and saw Quennel''s name, he changed it immediately."


    Lionelid out his theory, sounding more and more convinced as he spoke. "He handed you the altered letter, so what you saw had already been changed." As soon as he finished, Lionel noticed Hannah''s expression was off.


    He nced over at Samuel, who was practically shaking with suppressedughter.


    Seeing their reactions, Lionel''s brow tightened. "What? Am I wrong? This is exactly the kind of thing Samuel would do!"


    The used, Samuel, remained silent, saying nothing as he watched Lionel quietly.


    His nonchnt, indifferent demeanor only made Lionel more annoyed and disgusted.


    "Lionel, there''s something you might not know. After the courier gave the letter to the butler, the butler brought it straight to me content


    Hannah looked at him, deciding not to waste any more words. "I opened the envelope in front of Samuel He never touched the fester. The moment I opened it, I saw your name."


    "ording to your logic, the person who changed the letter would have to be the butler. But we checked the security footage. Not only was the courier different fromst time, but the butler brought the letter to us the second he received it."


    Hearing this, Lionel''s face darkened, a growing sense of unease creeping over him.


    "If what you''re saying is true, then the one who changed the letter... must have been the courier."
