Chapter 2557
The reporters left. Hedeon walked into the main hall with Nollace. “Nollace, what’s going
on? Madam Ames is dead?”
He didn’t know anything about that.
Nollace stopped in front of the elevator and calmly nodded. “Yes.”
Hedeon suddenly understood. “So, the reporters were here to frame you? Who would be
dumb enough to paint themselves as a suspect?”
Nollace had–blocked the news, so only the people who worked in prison and the bureau
knew. Once the news got out, it would mean that people from these two places were the
‘problem‘.
He looked at Hedeon and tapped his shoulder. “You’re quite clever.”
“I have to be if I want to hang out around you.” Hedeon flashed a big smile.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNollace nodded. “I orchestrated the entire thing.”
Hedeon’s smile faded as he followed him into the elevator. “Are you joking?”
“Do you think I am?”
“No, but the reporters today… You arranged for them to come over?”
“They didn’t know that.” Nollace looked at him and squinted. “Now that you know, if you let
this slip…”
Hedeon clicked his tongue. “Alright, you can trust me. I’m not a snitch. Don’t worry. I’m
going to pretend this didn’t happen.”
He finally let his curiosity run free. “But why did you do this?”
Nollace walked out of the elevator and toward his office, with Hedeon following close
behind.
They walked into the office, and Hedeon closed the door after looking back to make sure
that no one was
there.
Nollace removed his tie and sat down on the couch. “The prison found Clover dead. If the
media went there and her cause of death was exposed, the people behind this would surely
start panicking.”
Hedeon sat across from him. “You let the reporters know that she’s dead, so they suspect
you just to make the culprit think that someone else leaked the news?”
“Something like that.” Nollace looked at his watch. “I guess that person should have gotten
the information by now.”
In the Taylor manor’s study….
Lucius threw the newspaper at the butler. “What did you do? Didn’t you tell me that Nollace
Knowles blocked the news about Clover’s death? How did it still get out?”
The butler picked the newspaper up, looked at it, and immediately looked anxious. “I… Sir, I
don’t know what happened, but they did tell me that His Highness blocked all the news
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfrom getting out on that day.”
The veins in Lucius’s neck surfaced, and he looked furious.
The butler remembered something and immediately said, “The media is suspecting that this
is linked to His Highness. All we have to do is pin it on him-”
“Pin it on him?” Lucius clenched his jaw. “Is your brain filled with sh*t? He’s investigating
this as the
prince. The people in the Bureau of Justice can vouch for that. How are you going to pin it
on him? Do you think you can bribe them?”
If Nollace dared investigate Clover’s death at the bureau and block the news, if someone
tried to attack him, it would be akin to walking into a trap.
If he wasn’t dumb, he would have guessed the problem was in the prison department. He
had assumed that there would be no evidence that his daughter had ordered Clover to do
anything after the latter’s death.
