Renee hurriedly said, “The police said the fire was caused by old wiring. How would there be a murder? Peter is already dead, isn’t he?”

“Do you think Peter is the real culprit? If he were, he wouldn’t have been killed in the detention center.”

After Remington spoke, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Cynthia asked, “Remi, how did Peter die? How would he be killed in the detention center?”

Everyone waited for an answer, and Remington explained, “Someone added a toxin called Tabun to Peter’s drinking water, which caused his death. And I have investigated and found out that Peter’s mineral water was tampered with before it was sent to the police. The one who can commit a crime under the nose of the police and kill Peter without leaving a trace must be very cun ning.” Remington’s sharp gaze swept over the faces of Renee, Carlos, and

Renee’s eyes flickered slightly, while Carlos showed no expression.

Samuel remained calm and composed, asking, “Who the h*ll was so cruel as to do such a thing? Have you found the person who poisoned Peter?”

“Of course I have!” Remington shouted, “Winger!”

Soon, Winger brought in a middle-aged man who seemed honest. and straightforward.

Carlos’s eyes darkened when he saw the man being brought in.

“This is Edward, the cook responsible for making food for the detention center. Peter died after eating the food and drinking the water he provided,” Winger explained.

Gabriella asked, “Edward, did you have any grudges with Peter? Why did you kill him?”

Edward looked troubled and remained silent.

Remington snapped, “Edward, now is your chance to come clean. Why did you kill Peter?”

Edward glanced at Remington and quickly cast a glance at Carlos, who was standing beside him, hesitant to speak.

“Do you want me to remind you of it?” Remington took a document

from Winger. “This is your personal account statement. On the third day after Peter’s death, you received 75 thousand dollars. Tell me, how did you get the money?”

Remington’s imposing aura made Edward break out in a cold sweat and his hands tremble uncontrollably.

“Well….”

Edward instinctively looked toward Carlos.

Meanwhile, Carlos frowned and gave him a cold, intimidating stare, secretly exerting pressure on him.

Edward broke out in even more cold sweat, not knowing what to do. “Edward, I’m giving you one last chance. If you don’t tell the truth, you’ll be the one going to jail,” Remington threatened.

Upon hearing Remington’s words, Edward was so scared that he got down to his knees.

“No, please don’t! I’ll tell you. It was him who transferred 75 thousand dollars to me.

Edward pointed his finger at Carlos.

Carlos immediately rebuked, “Shut up! Do you have any proof to support your claim? I don’t even know you. How can you slander me here?”

“Carlos Minton!”

Remington snorted coldly, which startled everyone.

He raised the transfer details and angrily questioned, “Are you sure you don’t know him? Since you don’t know each other, why did you transfer the money to Edward’s account with your own account?

Can you explain it?”

Everyone looked at Carlos, and Cynthia was surprised. “What does this have to do with Carlos?”

“Remington, what’s going on? Are you mistaken? How did it involve Carlos?” Gabriella asked, also confused.

Carlos hurriedly explained, “Madam Nelson, Mr. Nelson, I’m innocent. Actually, Edward and I are from the same hometown. He met some difficulties recently and asked me to lend him money, so I transferred 75 thousand dollars to him to help him out of his

predicament. There is no other reason, and it has nothing to do with Peter’s death.”

Remington snorted. “Carlos, didn’t you just say that you didn’t know him? How come now you’re saying you’re from the same hometown?”

Carlos’s contradictory words raised suspicions among those present.

Remington continued, “Your explanation is logical, but you have overlooked one thing. I have found records of your private purchases of venomous snakes and Tabun toxin from the black market. Is this all just a coincidence?”

Remington presented two pieces of evidence, and Samuel asked Carlos in shock, “Carlos, you are an old butler of our Nelson family. Why would you want to kill Peter?”

Samuel then turned to Remington and asked, “Remington, Carlos has always been cautious and conscientious. Could it be that he has any hidden complaints?”

Remington stared at his father with cold eyes. “Of course, he has. Since you said Carlos has always been cautious and diligent, how could he have the courage to kill someone? So, someone is manipulating him from behind the scenes.”

Feeling uncomfortable under Remington’s gaze, Samuel turned his face and asked, “Carlos, you better fell the truth. Is someone manipulating you from behind the scenes?”

At this point, Carlos couldn’t make any more excuses and could only take full responsibility.

“No one is manipulating me. I just sought revenge by myself because I held a grudge against Peter after a previous unpleasant incident.”

Carlos’s explanation left everyone present feeling unable to understand or believe.

After all, Carlos had earned everyone’s respect with his behaviors and character in the Nelson family.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to serve as the family’s butler until now.

It was hard to believe that he retaliated against Peter because of some personal grudges.

“Carlos, why are you taking all the blame on yourself? Who are you trying to protect? Do you need me to point it out for you?” Remington asked.

Renee tensed up, but she could only pretend to remain calm on the surface.

“Since you don’t speak, let me help you. You’re trying to protect this woman, aren’t you?” Remington pointed his finger at Renee.

It caused Renee to panic. “Why are you pointing at me? What does it have to do with me?” she asked.

“You still don’t want to admit it? Actually, it was all your plot. You ordered Carlos to get rid of me while I was still recovering from my illness, didn’t you?”

Remington continued, “That’s why Carlos found Peter and instructed him to put a venomous snake in my room, hoping it would bite me. Fortunately, the snake was killed by Cecelia and Peter was caught.”

Then he turned his head and added, “Carlos, you were afraid Peter would reveal your secret, so you bribed Edward to poison and kill him, right? So, it was you who killed Peter to silence him, and Renee, you cun ning and vicious woman! It was you who tried to murder me with the snack.”

After hearing Remington’s analysis, Cynthia stomped her feet and cursed, “Da’n it! Renee! What the hell are you trying to do? Do you want to kill my brother to help your children inherit the family property?”

Gabriella couldn’t believe it either. “Renee, is what Remington said true? Why did you do such a thing?

How could you hurt my grandson?”

Samson was extremely shocked. “Mom, did you really try to kill Remington?’

Samuel angrily questioned, “Renee, why did you try to hurt Remington? How could you do that?”

“No! I didn’t do it. How could I do such a thing?”

Renee put on a very innocent look and asked Remington, “Remington, I know you don’t like me because you have a prejudice against me. Is that why you suspect me?”
