Rubbing his forehead, Zivon replied, “Sort of… They’ve come up with a few proposals, but things can only kick off after about two days. Until then, all we can do is wait.”
After getting to know Xavia, Zivon had slowly begun learning that not everything could be settled with money… In Ian’s case, not even money could ensure that he would make it out alive in the end…
Sighing in response, Nathan muttered, “To think that we were so off the mark about everything… Still, I wonder who dared to even poison the prince of the country… How ballsy and foolish!”
This prompted Zivon to frown. He had earlier been too focused on finding a cure to question that, but now that he thought about it… Who was the one attempting to assassinate Ian? Just as he was feeling like something was off, he received a message from Xavia… Actually, speaking of Xavia…
“…Speaking of which, how did the investigation go?”
“Ah, well… I did my best to see what Whitney and Fiona had been doing before the chandelier’s installation, but… As far as I’ve found, they didn’t seem involved in this at all.”
…But who else would want her dead? Was the target really him…? After a long pause, Zivon, who didn’t like unresolved matters, was prompted to reply, “…What else did you find?”
“Well… You already know that the one responsible for that particular chandelier is already dead, but after digging around, I found out that he didn’t have any close family members or children either. What’s more, his neighbors and employers had little to note about him… With that said… I have a feeling that maybe this was all just an accident after all-”
“Impossible. You were the one who told me that the chain had already been sliced half-way, so that couldn’t have been a coincidence. Continue the investigation!”
