Chapter 772

When Lionel heard Quennel’s words, he thought the man was joking.

But after he spoke, Lionel slowly began to realize something was off.

He looked at Quennel’s calm and composed demeanor, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and a seed of doubt began to sprout in his mind.

Lionel took a deep breath before asking, “Quennel, if the Elders have already uncovered the truth, why are you still sitting here instead of dealing with it?”

The Elders had found the culprit in such a short time, and from what he knew, Quennel had been busy at the company this entire time.

He wouldn’t have had time to fabricate new evidence to frame him.

“Exactly. Since you’re asking me that, haven’t you figured it out yet?”

Quennel raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips.

He leaned back lazily, lacing his fingers together in front of him. After a moment of silence, he spoke with a laugh.

“Since you’ve said as much, haven’t you realized yet? It obviously wasn’t me. Because if it were, how could I possibly be standing in front of you right now? Don’t you think?”

Quennel looked at Lionel with a half-smile, genuinely wondering if the man was slow.

Anyone with a functioning brain wouldn’t be asking such a question at this point. “Use your head, Lionel. I’m here precisely because I didn’t do it. Does hearing that break your heart?”

As soon as Quennel finished speaking, Lionel’s expression darkened instantly.

“Since you know it wasn’t me, aren’t you going to ask who did it?” Quennel looked at Lionel with curiosity, as if eagerly waiting for him to ask.

Lionel saw the anticipation brimming in Quennel’s eyes and scowled in disgust, refusing to say a word.

“Alright, if you won’t ask, I’ll tell you anyway,” Quennel said, his eyes half-closed. “It was one of the household staff.”

“When he learned that the Elders were investigating and that you had been completely cleared of suspicion, he got scared and ran. He didn’t dare stick around, afraid he’d be found out.”

“But his fleeing at that exact moment is what caught the Elders’ attention. Unfortunately, by the time they realized what was happening, he had already boarded a plane and left the country.”

After hearing this, Lionel’s already grim face turned even uglier.

The living room fell into a dead silence after Quennel spoke.

Quennel, however, still had a wide grin plastered on his face as he watched Lionel.

“Quennel, the Elders and everyone else might believe you, but I don’t. This was clearly someone you planted. Do you think I wouldn’t know?!”

Such a lame excuse a servant, fleeing the country overnight—it was a complete joke!

But there was one thing he didn’t understand. If he could see through such an obvious lie, how could the Elders not?

A disturbing thought suddenly surfaced, and Lionel unconsciously clenched his jaw.

“Quennel, did the Elders know it was you all along? After the investigation came to this conclusion, did they just decide to accept it and give you an out?”

After all, if the investigation had ultimately proven it was Quennel, his parents would have certainly stepped in to defend him.

Chapter 773: “And besides, the Elders have always been biased toward Quennel.

Once they knew I wasn’t the one who did it, their interest in the investigation probably waned. They likely didn’t even care who the real culprit was anymore.

Now that they’ve pinned it on a servant, they can just go along with it and drop the matter without needing to dig any deeper.

As Lionel thought this, a knot of frustration tightened in his chest, leaving him feeling suffocated and miserable.

While he had long known he wasn’t favored in the Rosenberg family, he never imagined the double standard would be this blatant.

“Lionel, if you insist on thinking that

way, there’s nothing I can do. If you have an issue with the Elders’ findings, you should take it up with them, not waste your breath

Complaining to me”

Seeing that he couldn’t get a further rise out of Lionel, Quennel decided not to waste any more time.

He stood up, his eyes still twinkling with amusement as he looked at Lionel.

“Well, I came here today on the Elders’ behalf, and I’ve delivered the message. I’ll be going now. If I stay any longer, all I’ll hear is you whining and spouting nonsense.”

He had expected Lionel to become even more furious, perhaps even get physical.

But to his surprise, Lionel restrained himself, merely insisting it was his doing without taking any further action.

Since he wasn’t going to get the reaction he wanted, it was best to leave. There was no point in exchanging more empty words.

Besides, he had other things to do.

Lionel watched Quennel’s retreating back, his fists slowly clenching in frustration.

He took a deep breath and strode forward.

“Quennel, m telling you, I will go to the Elders and tell them this was all your scheme. I will help them continue the investigation. Don’t think you can get away with this scot free

Hearing the voice behind him, Quennel paused and glanced back at Lionel in surprise.

He looked serious, not like he was joking.

“Fine. I look forward to it. Go on, hurry over and tell the Elders.”

After saying this, Quennel couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Lionel really was stubborn to a fault. He could have just let this matter die.

But no, he had to go stir up trouble with the Elders. Well, so be it.

After all, the Elders were already annoyed and reluctant to believe that Lionel had nothing to do with it

If Lion to go make a foot of

himself, that was fine. He should go right ahead!

As soon as Quennel left, Lionel didn’t hesitate. He drove straight to the family estate

to find the Elders.

He was one hundred percent certain Quennel was behind this, and if you do something, you always leave a trace.

He refused to believe Quennel’s methods were so flawless that he left no loose ends whatsoever!

The news that the leaker was a servant from the Rosenberg household didn’t just

stay within the family; it was also posted online.

Right on cue, netizens were grabbing their popcorn again.

【Damn, if I had known the Rosenberg family drama was this juicy, I would’ve saved

it for a holiday binge.】

【Right? First it’s Lionel, now it’s a servant. All of the Rosenberg family’s secrets are being aired out for everyone to see.】

【I don’t know, something about this doesn’t feel right. Was it really a servant who leaked it? What was the motive?]
