Meanwhile, although all of Lionel''s electronic devices had been confiscated, he still managed to overhear the servants gossiping while he was downstairs for dinner.


    He found out that there was more trouble.


    He specifically asked the servants what had happened and learned about the elders'' public scandal.


    In that moment, Lionel thought Cherry was an absolute madwoman, but at the same time, he had to admire her guts for taking on the elders so directly. She had even proactively provided information on the instigators.


    If the elders followed that information, it would be difficult for Quennel to interfere, even if he tried.


    It seemed like this mess was finally about to be resolved, and he could finally get out of this ce.


    He was one hundred percent certain that Quennel was behind this. He couldn''t wait to see how the elders would deal with Quennel once they found out.


    Then again, the elders adored Quennel. They had given him control over the Rosenberg family despite his abilities being inferior to Lionel''s.


    Perhaps even after they discovered the truth, they would just let the matter slide.


    The thought made Lionel''s stomach churn with imbnce and jealousy.


    "Are the eldersing today?" Lionel couldn''t help but ask.


    A servant shook his head, saying he wasn''t sure.


    Just as Lionel was about to tell them to find out, Mr. Michael Rosenberg arrived.


    "What do you want with us?" Mr. Michael Rosenberg strode over, his face dark as he questioned Lionel in a low, displeased voice.


    "1..."


    Lionel was about to speak but stopped himself. He remembered how much this particr elder disliked him if he didn''t greet Jam properly and just jumped into questioning, he''d surely get another lecture.


    He didn''t have time to waste on pleasantries.

    Lionel stood, walked over to him, and offered a polite greeting. "Good day, Mr. Michael Rosenberg. I heard from the servants that you were


    trending online. I just wanting


    to ask


    how the investigation is going now that Cherry has given you the information."


    After all, a full day had passed. The elders were powerful; they should have found something by now.


    The sooner they cleared this up, the sooner his name would be cleared, and the sooner he could watch them deal with Quennel!


    "Do we need to report our progress to you?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Michael Rosenberg''s expression darkened further, and he red at Lionel through gritted teeth.


    "No, no, that''s not what I meant."


    Mr. Michael Rosenberg had a fierce appearance, and his current cold, somber demeanor made him even more intimidating.


    Lionel had been scared of him since their first meeting, and though much time had passed, a part of him was still afraid.


    "I''m just worried that the person behind all this saw the news and has already arranged for those people to go somewhere else, or even leave the country. It will be much harder to investigate then.”


    Lionel exined his reasoning, but all he got in return was the furious sound of Mr. Michael Rosenberg striking the floor with his cane.


    "Lionel, just tell the truth. Were you behind this or not?"


    A vicious glint shed in Mr. Michael Rosenberg''s eyes. "We went to see Hanna and Cherry again today They''ve already confessed everything. There''s no need to waste any more time covering things up. Just tell the truth."


    Lionel froze for several seconds upon hearing the elder''s words, struggling to process what he had just said.
