“Have Quennel and his mother made any unusual moves?” Mr. Hector asked.
“The men watching them just called. They reported that there have been no strange movements so far. They’re going about their business as usual.”
A nearby servant reported this, then brought over a tablet with surveillance footage for the three elders to review.
The elders took the tablet, and as they watched the screen, their suspicion of Lionel’s actions grew even stronger.
“Look, out of the three of them, only Lionel chose this exact moment to call Hannah. The others have done nothing. Doesn't that tell you something?!”
Mr. Michael Rosenberg set the tablet down and pointed at the screen. “Don't blame me for constantly going after Lionel. If he were truly innocent, I wouldn't be saying a word about him!”
Mr. Hector had been inclined to believe Lionel, but seeing that the other two had remained inactive while Lionel’s actions were so bizarre, he too began to have his doubts.
“Given the current situation, we must assign more people to watch Lionel closely!” Mr. Hector took a deep breath and ordered the servant beside him, “You must have him watched twenty-four-seven. Keep a close eye on him, and report any unusual activity to me immediately!”
“Yes, sir!”
The servant, hearing the command, immediately went to make the arrangements. They had to follow the elders' orders to the letter.
This incident had thoroughly angered the elders, and they had even started to suspect their own staff.
If they didn't do a perfect job now, they would surely fall under the elders' intense suspicion.
“I still say we must go and question Hannah properly. After all, she’s involved in this now. She might actually know something,” said Mr. Edward Rosenberg.
