The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2561
Nollace’s face sank. “It seems like she still hasn’t learned her lesson yet.”
Cecelia might have already succeeded if he hadn’t had some bodyguards to protect Daisie around the
clock.
“Well, she’s a Taylor, and her father is her biggest supporter. Do you think she’ll have any respect for other people? Even the most powerful capitalist is raised by the Taylors.”
Hedeon could see the whole picture better than anyone else. After all, there were countless plutocrats or rich kids in Haniston who took advantage of their family background to get everything their way. As long as their families remained standing, they could do everything they wanted to, and nobody could stop them.
That was unless their families went down the hills or fell from grace.
Nollace was playing with the pen between his fingers when he received a message from Edison.
Edison was chasing after the two men on the street, but he soon lost sight of them.
He clicked his tongue and gnashed his teeth tightly. He went back to the scene and checked on Bart, who had been shot earlier. The bullet had gone through his chest, and his pupils were already dilating.
Bart was dead.
Edison pulled his phone out and made a call.
After that, he went to the police station to give his statement. When he came out, Nollace had already arrived. He lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Knowles. It was too late by the time I got there.”
“Don’t worry. It isn’t your fault.” Nollace said, “Even if they’ve killed Bart, we still have another way to get what we want.”
Edison suddenly remembered something and raised his head. “I found that Bart has a family member in the city. It’s his brother, but they rarely contact each other.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I feel it’s strange too. Both of them are brothers, but they rarely contact each other. His colleagues in prison said they never heard him mention anything about his brother.”
Nollace fell deep in thought for a moment before asking, “Did they have any grudges against each other?” Edison shook his head. “Nope. I heard from prison that Bart admires his brother very much.”
He admired his brother, they did not have any grudges against each other, and they rarely contacted each other.
Nollace chuckled lightly and said, “It seems like his brother is living a good life. He must have gotten some relationship with an aristocrat.”
Edison asked, “What makes you think so?”
“You’ve been to Bart’s house, right? Did you notice anything?”
Edison thought for a while and replied, “I didn’t see anything special in his house. It’s just a normal house. Besides, the place was rented by him at a low price. It seems to me that Bart is a frugal person. Even his furniture is old.”
After he finished speaking, he noticed something. “Are you saying that his older brother had little contact
with his younger brother because he didn’t want people to know about his brother’s situation?”
Nollace looked into the distance. “Don’t forget that Bart has never served in the military before. I’m sure that it must be his brother who helped him to get his job in prison. Bart wouldn’t have ended up this way if his brother was an aristocrat.
“I think his brother is working for an aristocrat. There are only two reasons he rarely contacts his brother. One is he wants to protect his brother, and the other is that the person he serves doesn’t allow him to do
that.”
Edison saw the light and said, “I see. People might get suspicious if this man has a close relationship with someone from prison. So, they won’t contact each other unless it’s absolutely necessary. As for Bart, he didn’t tell anyone about his brother because even if he failed his mission, he wouldn’t bring trouble to his brother as well.”
The person that Bart’s brother served was cautious. He knew his man had someone working in prison, and apparently, Bart’s brother was not protecting Bart. He was forced.
Otherwise, Bart wouldn’t have been killed.
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2562
At the Taylors…
Cecelia pushed all the food that the maid had brought to the floor. “Get out! Get out of here!”
Lucius and his wife came to the room. When he saw the mess on the floor, he frowned and dismissed the
maid.
Bianca walked into the room and sat beside the bed. Looking at her daughter, whose face was still
swollen red, she said, “Cecelia, calm down.”
“How can I calm down? That b*tch asked her man to slap me! She asked a lowly bodyguard to slap me!”
Cecelia had never been humiliated like this before, and her face was livid with rage.
Lucius came into the room, and his expression was dark. “It seems to me that you still haven’t learned your lesson. Cecelia, I’ll disown you if you don’t stop now!”
Cecelia’s eyes turned red when her father scolded her instead of comforting her. “Dad, are you blaming me? This is obviously that b*tch’s fault!”
“Nollace is her husband, and he’s the prince. How can you fight with the royal family? I can’t believe that you’re so stupid. I want you to become his wife, not offend him!” snarled Lucius.
Bianca did not say anything as she knew her own husband’s temper very well.
Cecelia was tongue–tied as well.
Meanwhile, a maid appeared at the door and said, “Sir, His Highness is here.”
Lucius‘ expression changed. He knew that Nollace must be up to no good for coming here at a time like this.
As for Cecelia, her face turned pale when she heard that Nollace had come to her house. She still couldn’t forget how Nollace had ordered his bodyguard to shove the medicine down her throat last time. That man was a monster!
Lucius came downstairs with the maid. Nollace was already sitting on the couch, and the butler was serving him tea.
Nollace glanced at Lucius and asked, “Clover died in prison. Do you know what happened, Mr. Taylor?” The butler became anxious and looked toward Lucius.
Lucius’s face sank as he replied, “What do you mean by this, Your Highness? Are you saying that her death has something to do with me?”
Nollace chuckled and raised his head. He looked at Lucious amusingly and continued. “After all, you and your daughter are the only ones who will benefit from Clover’s death. If you wanted to clear your daughter’s name, your best shot would be ensuring that Clover would shut her mouth forever.”
“Your Highness, you don’t have any evidence to prove that her death is related to the Taylors. I can understand that you’re doing this just to get back at Cecelia for all the suffering she caused to your wife. “Cecelia has already learned her lesson. She has gotten what she deserved. I can understand if you don’t want to forgive us, but I won’t allow you to pin something that we have never done on us!” Lucius said with a stern voice. He was very calm. He looked like he had never done any of those evil things and that it was Nollace who was being unreasonable.
Nollace looked at him for a long while and said, “Yes, you didn’t do it, but what about your men?”
The butler’s back was drenched with cold sweat, and his heart was in his throat.
Lucius knew that Nollace was difficult to deal with, but he did not expect him to be so difficult. He first asked about the woman’s death, and now he asked about Bart.
He was certain that Nollace had learned about something.
That being said, whether Nollace had learned something or he was just testing them, he would not allow himself to panic. He remained calm and said, “Of course. I believe that my people wouldn’t do something like that either.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2563
“I hope so too, Mr. Taylor.” Nollace put down the cup and stood up. He slowly fastened the buttons on his shirt and turned around.
Lucius watched and clenched his fists tightly as Nollace slowly disappeared from his vision.
The butler breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of fear lingered in his heart. “Sir, what do we do now?”
Lucius stopped beside him and ordered, “This is your own business. You figure out how to settle it. I’ll get rid of you if you can’t settle it.”
The butler’s face turned pale with fear.
Edison was standing in front of the car while Nollace came out of the Taylor manor. He opened the door for him, and they got into the car. Edison then started the engine and drove away.
While they were on their way back, Edison looked at the rear mirror and said, “Mr. Knowles, your visit will definitely arouse Mr. Taylor’s vigilance. If it’s really related to him, he’ll surely erase everything that can raise our suspicion.”
Nollace placed his hand on his forehead and leaned on the window. “Motivation–wise, Cecelia is the only one who benefited from Clover’s death, especially since her reputation is at risk right now.”
Edison was stunned. “Are you saying that he’ll choose to take someone’s life just to restore Cecelia’s reputation?”
“Don’t forget that Lucius is someone who values interests more than anything else. If his daughter admits that she has joined forces with Clover and caused Daisie to have a miscarriage, Cecelia and the entire Taylors‘ reputation will be greatly affected in the aristocratic circle.
“Once Clover is dead, Cecelia just needs to divert the attention to a dead person. A dead person won’t be able to defend themselves, so the public will never know the truth.”
Edison frowned. “But I thought Mr. Colton had already exposed their call records?”
Nollace chuckled. “Everything in this world, including the truth, can be forged.”
Understanding soon dawned upon Edison. Given the Taylors‘ power and status, even a call record would not be able to do anything if they wanted to divert the public’s attention to something else.
Once everyone lost their interest in this matter, the Taylors could even make fake evidence. With their strong connections, they just needed to hire some ghostwriters to write something on the Internet, and they would be able to twist the truth easily.
Nollace squinted and said, “But I do notice something interesting.”
“What is it?” asked Edison.
Something flitted across Nollace’s eyes as he said, “When I mentioned Bart, the butler seemed a bit nervous.”
He would never let any evidence slip past his eyes. The reason he had purposely mentioned Bart was to observe their reaction.
Edison was stunned. “His butler?”
Nollace sat up straight and said, “It’s time we look into the Taylors‘ butler.”
Meanwhile, at the film college…
Freyja came to Professor Merlin’s office. She knocked on the door and went inside after getting his permission.
Professor Merlin put down his cup and raised his head. “It’s you. What’s the matter?”
She walked up to the desk and sat down. “Professor, I heard from Mr. Lancell that you’ve studied criminal psychology before, right?”
Professor Merlin was stunned for a moment before chuckling. “Yeah, I did study that before when ↑ was young. But why would you ask?”
Freyja’s eyes glowed up, and she said, “I’m sure you saw the news the other day about a woman who was poisoned to death in prison, right?”
“You told me that this matter has something to do with the prince, right?”
She nodded and replied honestly, “My best friend is the prince’s wife. She’s pregnant. I’m worried that it might affect her, so I want to do something to help her.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2564
“I can understand that you want to help your friend.” Professor Merlin put on his glasses and started to sort out the documents on the desk. “But I’m worried that it might bring you some unwanted trouble if you poke your nose in it.”
Freyja nodded. “I understand. Only someone from a powerful family can kill an inmate in prison with poison. And this powerful family is a threat to the prince and to the entire royal family.”
The prison was tightly secured. Even if they had someone in prison, an ordinary person would never be able to pull out such a feat.
Besides, if they killed an inmate, it would also bring them a lot of trouble.
However, since they had the guts to do it, they must be capable of getting the trouble out of their way.
Professor Merlin crossed his fingers and placed his hands on the desk. He sat with his back straight and said, “So, have you made up your mind?”
Freyja said sternly, “Yes, professor. Even if I can’t find out who the mastermind is, at the very least, I can figure out why they want to do it.”
Professor Merlin pulled out a document and put it on the desk. “This is the report from the police and the prison.”
She was stunned. “How did you get it?”
He said slowly, “The police department has approached me before and asked for my advice. I met the suspect the day before yesterday and had a conversation with him. However, he didn’t have the time to commit the crime.”
Freyja was dumbfounded for a few seconds. She looked at the document in her hand and said, “He didn’t have the time to commit the crime?”
Professor Merlin nodded. “The food the inmate ate was poisoned, and the duty officer in the kitchen that day became the first suspect. After all, he was the only one who had touched the food. But the food in the kitchen goes through strict testing every day, and he stayed in the kitchen all the time. Even if he had the opportunity to put the poison in the food, there is no way the machine couldn’t detect it.”
“Could it be that the person only put the poison in the food after testing?”
“Impossible. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in prison. Besides, all staff members have to go. through a body search every day before starting their work at the prison. If he really brought any poison into the prison, people would know about it.”
Freyja frowned.
The prison was strict, and everything had to go through a series of tests. The staff members were not allowed to bring any dangerous items on them, let alone a bottle of poison.
So how did he do it?”
Meanwhile, someone knocked on the door.
Professor Merlin said, “Come in.”
The man who came in was a police officer. He had a handsome face and nodded at Professor Merlin.” Mr. Merlin.”
Freyja rose to her feet and said, “I’ll be going out first, then, Professor.”
1/2
Just when she was about to leave, Professor Merlin stopped her. “You can stay here. Don’t you want to know the result?”
She was slightly surprised. Was she really allowed to hear something so important?
The man observed Freyja for a moment before walking toward Professor Merlin. He stopped in front of the desk and said, “We have a lock on another suspect named Bart, but he was killed yesterday, so there are two murder cases now.”
Professor Merlin said, “Well, this seems a bit tricky.”
The man lowered his eyes and said, “Yes. And this incident has something to do with the prince. The prince’s man was just around when Bart was killed.”
Freyja’s pupils constricted, and she pressed her lips thin.
The man continued. “Mr. Merlin, we’re ordered to investigate these two cases. Since it might involve the aristocrats, we hope that you can step in.”
The Merlins indeed had the right to step in. Besides, this case was related to the prince. If they wanted to investigate it, they needed to get more evidence. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy to take such a big risk. and go against the royal family.
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2565
Freyja felt that he was indicating something. She looked toward Professor Merlin and said, “I can assure you that this has nothing to do with the prince.”
The man frowned but did not say anything.
Professor Merlin smiled and said, “Captain Burke, meet my student. She’s interested in this matter as well.”
Captain Burke frowned and asked, “Is she related to the deceased?”
“Nope. But she’s related to the prince. He’s Brandon’s daughter.”
Captain Burke nodded. “I see.”
Freyja looked at him and asked, “Can I ask you a question? What makes you think that this incident has something to do with the prince? Just because the prince’s man was around the scene when the suspect died?”
Captain Burke fell silent for a moment before saying, “Although we can’t confirm whether or not this has something to do with the prince, he was the first one to know that Bart might be the person who put the poison in the food. And Bart died because he knew too much. Only those who were involved in the poisoning would do something like this. And the deceased has worked for the prince before as a housekeeper hired by His Highness and was the culprit who caused his wife to lose her baby.”
Freyja took a deep breath.
‘So this is the reason they suspect Nollace?‘
She asked again, “If we can’t get any more evidence, we can’t prove the prince’s innocence, right?”
Captain Burke nodded. “Yes.”
Meanwhile, Nollace went to give his statement at the police station. He had become a suspect in Bart’s death.
Edison went with him and got angry when he learned that the police suspected Nollace. “This has nothing to do with His Highness. You guys must have gotten something wrong!”
“Sir, we also hope that we’re mistaken. But at this point, Clover and Bart’s death have a strong connection to His Highness. Although we can’t prove that His Highness is the murderer, he’s one of the suspects at the moment. So, I hope that His Highness can cooperate with our investigation first.”
Edison was stunned and froze.
It was Nollace who had gotten to Bart first. When he went to confront Bart, the latter was killed.
Could it be that someone found out that he had called the police and made a statement at the police station, so they went along with it and pushed the blame onto Nollace?
And all of this happened after Nollace went to the Taylor manor.
Nollace looked at him and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll cooperate with the police in the investigation. But I want you to help me keep it a secret from Daisie first.”
“But this obviously has nothing to do with you!”
Nollace looked straight at him and said, “I trust you, Edison.”
Edison soon understood what Nollace was trying to tell him through his eyes–he had his own plan.
1/2
After that, Edison said, “Okay.”
Two days later, at Blue Valley Manor…
Daisie came downstairs and found a maid. She asked, “Nollace hasn’t come back yet?”
The maid was stunned for a moment and replied, “We haven’t seen him in the past two days.”
Daisie lowered her head and fell deep in thought.
She had a bad feeling about it. She felt that something must have happened to Nollace.
“Ma’am!” Mia came back from outside, and Freyja followed behind her. “Ms. Pruitt has come to see you.”
Daisie went up to her with a smile. “What brought you here today?”
Freyja wanted to say something, but she did not say anything in the end.
Daisie asked, “What’s the matter?”
She walked to the couch with a smile and replied, “Nothing. I just came to see you.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2566
Mia went to make tea.
Daisie approached Freyja. “Did something happen to Nollace?”
She froze for a split second. “Daisie…”
came
“Freyja, please at least give me something. Nollace hasn’t come back in two days, and when Edison here the other day, he only told me that there’s something that Nollace had to deal with, but I know that even if something huge was up, he would still give me a call and update me personally.”
‘If he hadn’t run into some accident, how could he have only asked Edison to convey his words to me? And he didn’t even give me a call or send me a text message in the past two days.‘
Freyja knew that she could no longer hide it from her, so she lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Daisie. He probably didn’t want you to worry, but you should trust him.”
Daisie sat down. “You guys don’t tell me anything. How do you expect me to believe in him?”
Freyja took a deep breath and explained the matter slowly, “The police have detained Nollace for investigation. The police suspected that he was related to that woman’s death and that he tried to kill the suspect, only because he was the first to find the suspect’s identity before the police. However, the suspect was killed by someone else, and Edison was at the scene, and he was the one who called the police.”
Daisie was shocked. “What?”
“Daisie, at present, they suspect that Nollace has the biggest motive because Clover was the
housekeeper he hired, and she once tried to harm you. Apart from that, after she was poisoned to death, Nollace was the first person to track down the murderer, but the murderer was coincidentally killed after that. If we can’t present new evidence to clear him off his suspicion, then he…”
Freyja did not continue because the situation was already very obvious, and Daisie should understand it
now.
Daisie was silent for a moment. “If we can’t clear his suspicion, he’ll have to take the fall for someone else, won’t he?”
Freyja pursed her lips. “If Nollace is truly the target of the person behind the curtains, then the results of all the police investigations are indeed against Nollace,”
Daisie sank deep in thought and did not utter a single word since then.
Freyja covered the back of her hand. “Daisie, don’t worry. Nollace will definitely come up with a solution. And let’s not forget about me. I’ll try to help too.”
Daisie’s eyes rolled around as her gaze was all over the place. She then forced a smile through the corner of her lips. “Thank you, but I need to do one thing too, and this might clear him of suspicion.”
Freyja was slightly taken aback.
At the Taylor manor, in the study…
The butler reported everything to Lucius. After listening to his report, Lucius let off a long–lost smile.” You’ve done well this time around.”
The butler replied, “He’s the one who forced me into doing so. Since he had gotten to where he was in his investigation, I might as well just follow suit.”
‘Although Clover’s death was indeed beneficial to Ms. Taylor, she was a criminal who almost caused the princess a miscarriage. Her death could also be an act of revenge. Thus, as long as I could direct the police into believing that Clover’s death had something to do with Nollace, they would think that Nollace did so in order to avenge his beloved wife, and everything would eventually make sense.
‘He’s done this to himself. He’s so nosy that he had to look into Clover’s death, and he actually got very close to Bart and the truth and did so a lot earlier than the police.
‘I should thank him too, as he sent someone to Bart’s place to look for him on the day I got him. murdered. The person who would most likely want to kill Bart should be the person who knew what Bart did, right?‘
Lucius took a sip of tea from his cup and gave off a happy expression. “Cascade this news to the media. I’ll give him a taste of the fate of those people who dare to offend me.”
The news that Nollace was detained by the police and designated as a suspect was finally released to the media. Some media outlets even asked Queen Diana to step forward and explain the situation.
However, the royal family still had not released any official statement, and Queen Diana had refused to meet any media representative.
The turmoil this news had caused on the Internet overshadowed Cecelia’s matter. It was obvious that Nollace’s news would attract even more attention.
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2567
At the detention center…
Under Yorrick’s arrangement, Colton got a chance to meet Nollace. “What the hell are you doing? Why did you get yourself in jail?”
Nollace leaned on the back of the chair and took a glance outside. “Why have you come to visit me? Do you have too much free time on hand?”
“Who would be free enough to come all the way here just to visit you? I’m asking what you want. You’ve got to the bottom of Daisie’s affairs and found out that it has something to do with the daughter of the Taylors. At the end of the day, why would you insist on investigating the death of the housekeeper?”
‘By doing so, this ba*stard just dug your own grave with your own hands, didn’t he?”
Nollace chuckled. “What you did to expose the recording won’t force the Taylors into compromising. Clover’s death has something to do with the Taylors, but the witness is now dead, and I haven’t found any other piece of evidence. If I didn’t come in and lock myself here, who else would do so?”
Colton crossed his arms. “Then what do you plan to do?”
He laughed again. “Are you worried about me?”
“Keep dreaming. All I want is for Daisie to stop worrying. Of course, if you were to have to spend years or even decades in prison for this crime, then I’d have no choice but to talk my sister into finding herself another husband. After all, the Goldmanns will never accept a son–in–law who’s been in prison.”
Nollace narrowed his eyes. “Don’t worry. I won’t go to prison, but since you want to help me, then I shall ask you for another favor.”
“Nollace Knowles, you b*stard, you’re quite a pro when it comes to pushing your luck, huh?”
“Same goes for you too. So, will you help a brother out or not?”
Colton was at a loss for words.
Not long after Colton left, Cecelia arrived at the detention center and asked to see Nollace. The police hesitated, but they gave her ten minutes to talk to him due to her identity.
Seeing Cecelia walk in, Nollace gave off a pregnant smirk. “What’s wrong, Ms. Taylor? Have you come to ridicule me?”
Cecelia sat across from him. “I’m here to negotiate a deal.”
“And what’s that?”
“If you’re willing to divorce your wife and marry me, I can guarantee that you’ll be cleared of all suspicions.”
Cecelia looked extremely arrogant and full of herself.
‘Now that he’s in some deep sh*t, this happens to be the perfect time for me to take advantage of this situation to offer him an olive branch. So why not give him a chance?‘
Nollace still looked as indifferent as ever. “You people from the Taylors seem to be very competent when it comes to taking advantage of others.”
She looked a little displeased. “Nollace Knowles, are you telling me that you still can’t see the current big picture and the sticky situation that you’re in? Even if you’re the prince of Yaramoor, we’re talking about a murder investigation. There’s no way that you can get rid of the crime that you’re being charged with right
now. No one can help you, not even the Queen.”
After saying that, she leaned forward and approached him. “I don’t think you want your mother’s reputation to be damaged right after her succession to the throne, right?”
A hint of coldness flashed across Nollace’s eyes, and he lifted his gaze.
‘Damn, he’s terrifying.
‘But he wouldn’t dare to do anything here under the supervision of the police. What’s more, his reputation. as the prince has been tarnished. In the eyes of the public, he’s now nothing but a suspect who’s gotten related to the murder.
‘Even the royal family hasn’t come forward to clear things up for him. He’s just a toy that’s been abandoned by the royal family. He must want my help so much now, so why should I be afraid of him?”
Cecelia let off a charming smile. “I believe that you need me very much right now.”
Nollace leaned forward and propped his elbows against the table. His gaze looked very profound and gloomy. “Okay, you have my word.”
She was taken aback, and she could no longer conceal the joy within her. “Really?”
He narrowed his eyes and smirked. “As long as you tell me who your father sent to kill Bart and frame me for the crime, I’ll marry you.”
The smile on her face froze, and after a long time, the pure joy on her face turned into anger. “Nollace Knowles, are you trying to make a fool out of me?”
He laughed out loud, and a beam of sarcasm radiated from his eyes. “Otherwise, do you really think that I’ll divorce my wife and marry you, someone who can no longer give birth?”
“Nollace” She got up abruptly and roared, but she realized that she was being monitored at the moment, so she held back her wrath. “Nollace Knowles, are you very smug with what you’ve achieved so far?”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2568
Nollace shrugged indifferently, and Cecelia was on the brink of dying on the spot because of his complacency. “I’m indeed very proud of myself because the person who will end up in prison won’t be me. As for the evidence that’s putting me in here, clearing my suspicion is as easy as ABC. It only depends on whether I’m willing to go to that extent or not.”
She sneered and gnashed her teeth. “Stop deceiving yourself. Nollace Knowles, you’re now only a down- and–out prince who will be locked in prison, and no one can save you except me!”
At this time, a police officer suddenly opened the door and came in. “Mr. Knowles, you can leave now.” Cecelia’s expression changed instantly. “How is this possible!?”
‘He’s the suspect who has the biggest motive, so how could he be released?’
Nollace squinted as he thought about the sudden turn of tides, only to hear the police officer continue.” Your wife has provided us with strong proof that you would not poison Clover Finlay.”
Nollace froze for a split second, then got up quickly and left the interrogation room without looking back.
Cecelia was stunned in place, and her face turned pale.
The police officer was about to leave the interrogation room, and she gnashed her teeth and asked,” What kind of proof has his wife provided?”
The officer explained, “Clover Finlay didn’t cause Mr. Knowles‘ wife to suffer a miscarriage, so Mr. Knowles doesn’t have the motive to poison Clover in order to avenge his wife.”
Cecelia clenched the hands that were hanging by her sides, and she trembled with anger.
‘She didn’t have a miscarriage!? Nollace Knowles, that sh*tsack lied to us and concealed the truth from everyone else! He even forced me to consume the medicine!
‘What the f*ck!? I’ve lost fertility because of his actions, but that b*tch’s baby is still alive and kicking!’
Waves of profound hatred welled up in her chest cavity.
‘I’ll definitely make them pay!‘
Nollace went straight to the front lobby, and among the crowd, a familiar female figure was sitting on the bench. Everything surrounding her dimmed in an instant, as if she had a spotlight on her.
It was none other than her.
Daisie turned to look at him and stood up with a wide smile on her face.
Nollace rushed toward her immediately, stretched out his hands, embraced her, hugged her tightly, pressed his lips against her forehead, and gave off a faint smile. “What a fool you are?”
She complained in a low voice, “How dare you reprimand me first? Why did you hide the situation from
me?”
“I’m sorry.” Nollace stroked her cheek and glanced dotingly at her. “I’ve made you worry.”
She snorted softly and turned her face away. “I won’t forgive you this time around.”
There was a hint of hilarity in Nollace’s eyes. “Okay, then I won’t be forgiven this time around.”
Daisie held him by his hand as if he was a child and led him out of the precinct, not forgetting to explain her actions, “Freyja told me that you got framed when you were investigating the death of Madam Ames. How could you expect me to sit idly at home while my husband was being framed and locked away?”
While listening to her chatter, Nollace’s smile intensified, and he did not interrupt her.
“You’re not allowed to hide such things from me in the future, do you hear me?” Daisie turned her head, saw that he had been staring at her, lifted her hand, and waved it in front of his eyes. “I’m talking to you. Did you hear what I just said?”
Nollace laughed out loud and responded with a hum. “Yes, I heard.”
“Then do I have your word?”
He held her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “As long as it’s not dangerous, I’ll tell you everything.”
Daisie withdrew her hand, “Now, let’s go home.”
Nollace wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and the two got into the car.
At Blue Valley Manor…
Edison stood outside the yard, waiting for the couple to return home. Seeing that Nollace had really come home, he hurried forward. “Mr. Knowles, you’ve finally been freed.”
“Yeah, how did things go? Did you manage to look into the things that I asked you to investigate?”
Edison took a glance at Daisie and hesitated.
Daisie saw it and stood with her arms akimbo, expressing her dissatisfaction. “Is there anything that I
can’t know?”
Nollace gave off a helpless smile and stroked the top of her head. “You can stay and listen to the findings.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2569
‘If I piss her off again, I don’t think I’ll be able to coax her.‘
Edison reported, “I’ve found some clues. The butler of the Taylors comes from the north too. He and Bart Duval actually share the same hometown.”
Nollace supported his chin and thought about the information that they had obtained. “From the north, this seems to be a good clue. Send someone to the northern region to confirm this piece of information. By the way, deliberately release this information into the wind. It’s best if that person gets to know about it.”
Edison nodded. “Understood.”
As soon as Edison took his leave, Daisie grabbed him, “Nollace, Madam Ames‘ death has something to do with the Taylors, doesn’t it?”
“Most probably, but we still need evidence.” Nollace turned his head to face her, gazed at her, and held her hand. After that, he took her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. “Don’t worry. I’m confident that we’ll get to the bottom of his matter.”
After Cecelia returned from the precinct, her temper became more violent and out of control. She either threw things around the house or threw tantrums at the servants.
The servants in the villa were full of complaints, but they did not dare to voice out for themselves and could only badmouth Cecelia behind her back.
“Ms. Taylor’s temper is getting more and more irritable. I can’t take her any longer.”
“Try to understand her. After all, she’s a woman who can no longer conceive but still dreams of becoming Yaramoor’s princess.”
“Who asked her to offend His Highness? She’s the one who brought all this onto herself, isn’t she?”
However, the discussion in the kitchen was overheard by Cecelia, and it was already too late when they realized that there was someone behind them.
Cecelia kicked the closest servant to the floor, and the other maids‘ faces turned pale with fright. “Ms. Taylor…”
“Who gave you permission to talk about me behind my back? Who do you think you are!?” Cecelia’s expression looked grim and twisted.
“Ms. Taylor, I’m sorry. This is all our fault. We won’t do so again in the future…” The maids knelt and begged for mercy.
Cecelia grabbed one of them by the hair and forced her to look at her. “You lowly animal, do you know what will happen to you when you badmouth your master? You commented as if you’re of a higher class than I am, didn’t you?”
She picked up the scissors on the countertop, placed them against the maid’s face, and gave off a vicious smile. “Let’s see how smug you can be after I’ve mutilated your face.”
The maid trembled violently, and tears were gushing down her cheeks. “Ms. Taylor, please let me go. I’m sorry… I’m…”
Cecelia lifted the scissors and was about to scratch the maid’s face when Bianca yelled at her from behind, “Cecelia!”
Cecelia stopped, and Bianca stepped forward and snatched the scissors from her hand. “Have you lost your mind? Do you really want to kill her?”
It hurt her to see her daughter acting like this.
But if she were to continue to disregard her condition, she would not know what would happen to her.
“Heh, you’re welcome to think so.” Cecelia scoffed and left the kitchen without looking back. Her eyes were filled with hints of coldness when she turned around.
‘I can no longer conceive, and even the lowly servants are starting to mock me. What will happen in the future?
‘If everyone in the celebrity and socialite circle learns I’m a barren woman that can no longer give birth, they will probably ridicule me behind my back just like what those sits just did. I’ll never allow that!‘
After Lucius attended the cabinet meeting, he got summoned by Diana.
An officer led him to the VIP reception room, where Diana was sitting on a couch, waiting for his arrival with a smile. “Lord Taylor, please take a seat.”
Lucius sat down, and a waitress stepped forward, poured him a cup of tea, and then stepped back to the corner of the room.
He picked the teacup up and cut straight to the point. “Your Majesty, did you summon me here because of His Highness‘ affair?”
“I’ve heard about Nollace’s matter.” Diana turned the ring on her finger with a calm expression. “However, as far as I know, the female inmate was ordered to persecute the royal heir by Ms. Taylor, am I right?”

Lucius‘ expression looked a little restless, but he still stood his ground firmly. “That matter has nothing to do with Cecelia. The woman was the one who used Cecelia. Cecelia would definitely not do anything to persecute the royal heir.”
“Really?” Diana picked the teacup up from the saucer in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on the clear tea. “If this is the case, why is my son, someone who was investigating the cause of the housekeeper’s death, being framed as a suspect?”
“Your Majesty, perhaps everything His Highness did was to avenge his wife. The prison guards and police found the murderer, and His Highness sent someone out to search for the murderer. However, the murderer had already been brutally killed when they got there. His Highness is very suspicious when you look subjectively at the matter.”
“If Nollace is suspicious, why isn’t Ms. Taylor suspicious too?”
Lucius’s expression stiffened.
Diana lifted her head, stared directly at Lucius, and spoke clearly. “That housekeeper actually dared to use Ms. Taylor? Is that even possible? What would be in it for her if she were to use Ms. Taylor to persecute the royal heir? If no one was giving her Instructions from behind the curtains, would she really have the guts to do so?”
“Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?” Lucius frowned and looked obviously displeased.
Diana scoffed. “I’m stating the truth, Lord Lucius. I might have just succeeded to the throne, and you might think you can fool anyone, but don’t presume that I’ll be one of them.”
The meaning behind Diana’s response was blatantly obvious.
Lucius clenched his masseter, and his expression dimmed. “Your Majesty, are you trying to protect His Highness?”
“Lord Lucius, if you can protect your daughter, why can’t I protect my son?” Diana looked serious. “My son was investigating the criminal but ended up being treated as a suspect. Are you telling me that the Taylors did not cause this incident?”
Lucius stood up abruptly. “Your Majesty!”
Diana also got up and questioned him at the top of her lungs. “I would like to know if the Taylors are really loyal to the royal family. If so, you’re to get Cecelia to come out to the public and apologize for her actions. You will also look into the murder of the housekeeper and get to the bottom of the case. If not, then I don’t think there’s a need for the royal family to show the Taylors any more respect.”
Lucius clenched his hands. “Your Majesty, everyone knows that the Taylors have been loyal to the royal family, but if you insist on doubting us, then should the Taylors continue to be loyal to the royal family?”
“Are you threatening me?” Diana’s expression turned gloomy instantly, and the VIP room’s atmosphere
dimmed.
Lucius chuckled and spoke with confidence. “Your Majesty, don’t you understand that you still need the Taylors‘ help if you want to stabilize Yaramoor’s political situation? Will the other cabinet members serve you willingly if the cabinet is without me? As for those young people who obtained your support just recently, do you think they’re capable enough to serve you?
“Your Majesty, I advise you to think twice. If the late king didn’t have my father’s assistance when he succeeded to the throne, he wouldn’t have even been able to secure his throne back then. You’re only a
woman, so if you truly want to stabilize the cabinet, we, the Taylors, are indispensable!”
After Lucius finished speaking, he nodded slightly. “That’s all I have to say. I’ll take my leave now.” He then turned around and left.
Diana watched as the man walked out of the room with a blank expression and slightly loosened her clenched hands.
‘Lucius Taylor, do you really think I’m someone who’d let you do as you like without putting up a fight?
It seems that there’s a need for the cabinet to be overhauled as soon as possible.”
She summoned her officer into the room. “Get Lord Yorrick Hathaway to enter the palace and meet me here as soon as possible.”
The officer nodded. “As you command, Your Majesty.”
It was a rainy night in a small town in the northern region.
Edison stood outside a house in a raincoat and knocked on the door. Not long after, an old man opened the door.
The old man was taken aback when he saw a strange man standing outside of his house. “May I know who…”
Edison nodded. “I’m sorry to have to disturb you so late in the night. I’m a friend of Mr. Bart Duval, and I have a few questions for you.”
