After some discussion, the three elders decided to adopt Lionel''s approach, assigning others to monitor both Quennel and Mrs. Mary Rosenberg.


    They also ordered the mother and son not to meet during this period.


    Mrs. Mary Rosenberg strongly objected, feeling it was an affront to her character.


    After all, she truly hadn''t done anything of the sort, but just as she was about to exin, Quennel stopped her.


    "My mother and I agree to the elders'' arrangements. We also hope the elders can quickly find the person who spread this information and clear our names."


    After hearing Quennel''s words, the three elders couldn''t help but give him a longer look.


    They had a faint feeling that perhaps this really had nothing to do with him. Not only had he grown up under their watch, but his confident demeanor right now didn''t seem like that of a guilty person.


    After all, if he had done it, how could he possibly say such a thing with such candor?


    Quennel also knew their methods. If he were truly responsible, he would understand the severe consequences of refusing to confess at this stage.


    Unless he was exceptionally foolish and wanted to make a desperate gamble, he wouldn''t be standing here, feigningposure and speaking this way.


    But based on their understanding of Quennel, he didn''t seem like the type to do such a thing.


    However, Lionel''s attitude today had also been incredibly defiant, as if he were truly innocent.


    But Quennel was different from Lionel; he wasn''t good at hiding his true feelings. If he had done something, he would admit it openly.


    Even if he were to deny it, he couldn''t possibly be as forthright as he was now. Could it be that Mrs. Mary Rosenberg was the one who did it?


    Mr. Michael Rosenberg immediately dismissed the thought. Anyone could be the culprit, but not Mrs. Mary Rosenberg.


    é


    She had been married into the Rosenberg family for so many years and knew their methods better than anyone. She would ge be foolish enough to do something like this.


    But if it wasn''t one of those three, then who could it be?


    Could it really have been one of the household staff?


    At this moment, all three of them seemed to be free of suspicion, but they couldn''t be certain it wasn''t a staff member.


    Then again, the household staff had all worked here for so many years. They knew the rules of the house and wouldn''t do something so foolish.


    "In that case, my mother and I will head back and await the results of the elders'' investigation During this time wont go anywhere other than the office and home. Please fest assured, elders."


    With that, Quennel led his mother out of the family estate.


    He could tell his mother had more to say, but he kept signaling her with his eyes to remain silent.


    They could talk about it after they left. The elders were already suspicious of him.


    If they stayed any longer and let his mother keep talking, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    It wasn''t until they were in the car that Mrs. Mary Rosenberg finally couldn''t hold back any longer.


    "What on earth is Lionel ying at? It''s obvious he did it, yet he has the gall to say all that, even suggesting we have people watch him.”


    The more Mrs. Mary Rosenberg spoke, the angrier she became, especially when she recalled his


    smug face. "Does he think that Saying that, the elders won''t have him watched? That they''ll suspect us instead? I can''t believe i gave birth to a son like that!"


    Quennel sat beside her, listening to his mother''s tirade against Lionel without saying


    a word, letting her vent.
