Chapter 1468
In the still of the night, Eunice's mind replayed the image of Serena, crying as if her heart would break,
her face wet with tears. Could it be that she had wronged the girl?
Serena had grown up with the finest education. It seemed impossible that a girl raised with such values
could commit murder.
The remarks her husband had made lingered in her mind; it wasn’t impossible.
Perhaps the real killer was someone else. Maybe she had indeed wronged Serena.
The next morning, Eunice awoke to find her husband had not yet come to bed. After freshening up, she
discovered he had been up all night conducting his investigation. Sleep had not claimed him.
In the garden.
Bard was questioning every servant personally.
Eunice descended the spiral staircase and approached him, "Why didn't you wake me?"
Then she turned to the servants gathered, "Did anyone confess anything?"
"Mrs. Griffith, I swear I'm innocent."
The servant, who had called Serena to the basement the previous night, fell to her knees at Eunice's
feet, crying, "I've been with you since day one in this house. Whether you were out on business or at
home, I was always by your side. All these years have gone by in the blink of an eye. You were injured
once while saving my life. With such a heavy bond between us, how could I ever betray you?"
Adam sobbed and continued, "Last night, that man asked to see Miss Collins. Since Miss. Arabella
Collins' identity hasn't been made public, I thought maybe they wanted to see Miss Serena Collins."
Because to everyone, Serena was known as Bard and Eunice's cherished niece, the beloved daughter
of the Collins family.
While Miss. Arabella Collins had only recently returned to the family, her identity still needed to be kept
in secret.
"So I took it upon myself to ask Miss Serena Collins. I had no idea I was messing up your plans. I
deserve to die, I do." Adam kept bowing his head, "But to accuse me of betrayal, that I cannot accept."
Eunice, looking at her tearful servant, bent down to help her to her feet, softly saying, "We've been
through life and death together so many times. I trust you."
The servant cried tears of joy, "Thank you for trusting me. Even in death, I could never betray you. I
owe you my life. In this life, I only take orders from you."
"You all may leave."
"Yes."
Once they had left, Eunice turned to Bard, "This line of questioning will get us nowhere. Have you
checked the surveillance in the house?"
Bard reported truthfully, "Yes, we've checked. There's no evidence of tampering or deletion. The nearby
street cameras were functioning normally as well. No suspicious individuals were seen entering or
exiting our estate last night."
"And the basement, any new evidence there?" Eunice inquired.
The basement was reserved for covert operations, hence it was devoid of cameras, too risky to have
recordings that could fall into the wrong hands and cause trouble.
"Nothing as of yet."
