The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1736

George drew a deep breath and queried, “Sir, are you going to let that woman get away with this so easily? She brazenly attempted to frame Debra in public.

Shouldn’t we mete out punishment?”

With a detached expression, I waved dismissively and replied, “Let it go.

She is merely a poor woman who has recently lost her husband.

Besides, Keenan’s accident occurred within my manor and was used against Debra.

Regardless, I cannot condemn them to utter despair.

”

George sighed, shaking his head in resignation.

“You are too merciful.

It is this leniency that leads to betrayal from the people within the manor.

”

I fixed him with a solemn gaze and intoned, “You fail to grasp the essence.

No matter how stringent or ruthless I may be, those inclined to treachery will still betray me.

”

George pressed his lips together, seemingly absorbed in contemplation.

I decided not to prolong the discussion and instead led George to the dungeon.

The waiter who had died with Keenan was named Luka Lopez, and most of the prisoners in the dungeon were his close associates.

Ordinarily, around ten individuals were in Luka’s inner circle.

As they languished in the dungeon, fear overtook them, and they clamored for my attention.

“Mr.

Pierce! I swear, I am innocent in this matter!”

“Mr.

Pierce, please release me! I am entirely ignorant of any wrongdoing! I truly know nothing!”

Standing in the dungeon corridor, I surveyed them with a frosty gaze and demanded, “If you value your lives, divulge everything you know.

Has Luka been in contact with anyone recently?”

“No! Certainly not! I worked alongside Luka.

He was diligent and conscientious, meticulous in his duties!”

“Indeed, Luka is incapable of murder.

This situation surely has no connection to him!”

The dungeon descended into chaos as their declarations overlapped.

George’s countenance darkened, and he raised his voice.

“Silence! Respond only to Mr.

Pierce’s inquiries!”

ALL the prisoners fell silent.

I proceeded to ask a series of questions, and they responded in turn.

In due course, I gathered a general picture of Luka.

He was typically diligent and unassuming, free from debts or extravagant spending.

By all accounts, he didn’t seem like someone who would betray for financial gain.

I furrowed my brow in perplexity.

Despite my extensive questioning, I couldn’t fathom why Luka had accepted a bribe.

The manor was teeming with people.

Why had the mastermind singled out Luka?

“Mr.

Pierce…”

While I was lost in thought, a faint voice pierced the silence beside me.

I turned my head to see a thin man, also dressed as a waiter.

He appeared to be one of Luka’s colleagues.

The man caught my gaze and quickly lowered his head in fear.

He stammered, “Actually, Luka has been acting oddly lately.

I’m his roommate, and I’ve often seen him giggling at his phone.

It seemed like he was in love…”
