Chapter 1467


    After they supported Serena away, one on each side, Eunice turned her gaze back to Arabe, "She''s


    definitely a suspect, but there''s no proof she had a hand in this."


    Arabe preempted her aunt, knowing what she was about to ask, "Keep digging, we''ll probably find


    something. There''s no need to rush this."


    Eunice wanted to say more, but ultimately nodded in agreement, "You''ve had a long day too, go get


    some rest."


    "Don''t worry, Aunt Eunice. The truth wille to light sooner orter."


    Over the years, Arabe had investigated many cases and had learned the value of patience;

    sometimes taking it slow could lead to more clues.


    Nodding thoughtfully, Eunice was left alone in the study after Arabe left. Until Bard, fresh from his


    shower, came knocking, "Why aren''t you in bed yet?"


    Eunice recounted the events and shared her doubts, "Let’s say Serena hired someone to take out Be


    but that guy was locked in the basement by me before he could do anything; suppose Serena had no


    idea where he was hiding after his initial failure until she stumbled upon him by ident. Fearing he''d


    rat her out, she then kill him. But why wouldn''t he struggle if he wanted to live? And if he didn''t want to


    live, why did he ask to see Be again? Two days ago, when Be talked to him, I thought he wanted


    to live."


    Too many questions swirled in Eunice''s mind, leaving her puzzled.


    "Could it be that someone else killed him? Serena did say the man suddenly went silent. Maybe she


    thought he was dead and got scared off. After she ran, someone else could''ve sneaked in and finished


    the job," Bard spected.


    "If he was murdered, how could there be no struggle?"


    "Didn''t he tell Serena he wanted to end it himself, saying it''s better than suffering at our hands? Maybe


    the killer was one of his own?"


    "But Be said there were no additional traces at the scene, no extra footprints."


    "Maybe we overlooked some clue?" Bard patted her shoulder reassuringly, "Don''t overthink it. I''ll have


    the scene checked again. You should get some rest."


    Knowing that worrying wouldn''t help, Eunice nodded, "Wake me up as soon as there''s any news, even


    if I''m asleep."


    "Don''t worry. I''ll tell you immediately." Bard wrapped an arm around her shoulder to lead her back to


    bed, tenderly covering her with the quilt. He uttered, feeling disquieted, "Ever since you came back to


    this family, you''ve barely had a moment''s peace. There''s been too much for you to worry about. Just


    look at the time, and you''re still not asleep."


    "I just feel pity that the lead we finally had has hit a dead end. If they''re still out there trying to kill Be,


    who knows how many dangers she''ll face." Eunice''s concern was genuine.


    But she couldn''t share these worries with the elders at home, not wanting them to lose sleep fretting


    alongside her.


    "Indeed, we should step it up and root out those people once and for all."


    Eunice had promised Arabe that even if it meant turning Dawnstar upside down, she would weed out


    the remnants of their enemies, leaving none behind.


    In thest few days, she had indeed ordered her subordinates to do just that, but the job wasn''t


    finished when this incident urred.


    "Alright, stop thinking about it. Get some sleep." Bard cooed gently until she began to feel drowsy. Only


    then did he turn off the main light, close the door, and leave.
