After some discussion, the three elders decided to adopt Lionel’s approach, assigning others to monitor both Quennel and Mrs. Mary Rosenberg.
They also ordered the mother and son not to meet during this period.
Mrs. Mary Rosenberg strongly objected, feeling it was an affront to her character.
After all, she truly hadn't done anything of the sort, but just as she was about to explain, Quennel stopped her.
“My mother and I agree to the elders' arrangements. We also hope the elders can quickly find the person who spread this information and clear our names.”
After hearing Quennel’s words, the three elders couldn't help but give him a longer look.
They had a faint feeling that perhaps this really had nothing to do with him. Not only had he grown up under their watch, but his confident demeanor right now didn't seem like that of a guilty person.
After all, if he had done it, how could he possibly say such a thing with such candor?
Quennel also knew their methods. If he were truly responsible, he would understand the severe consequences of refusing to confess at this stage.
Unless he was exceptionally foolish and wanted to make a desperate gamble, he wouldn't be standing here, feigning composure and speaking this way.
But based on their understanding of Quennel, he didn't seem like the type to do such a thing.
However, Lionel's attitude today had also been incredibly defiant, as if he were truly innocent.
But Quennel was different from Lionel; he wasn't good at hiding his true feelings. If he had done something, he would admit it openly.
Even if he were to deny it, he couldn't possibly be as forthright as he was now. Could it be that Mrs. Mary Rosenberg was the one who did it?
