“Where's the evidence?” Lionel was well-prepared and handed over a meticulously compiled set of evidence.
Romello took it and carefully reviewed it. Soon, he regained his composure.

His statements cannot be considered evidence. He might be orchestrating this whole thing.” With a fierce glare, Romello pressed on, “So, Mr. Jenkins, shouldn't Nathaniel be investigated first?” Elliot remained expressionless and responded, “Naturally, Nathaniel will be investigated. However, until he’s convicted, the National Investigation Bureau will treat all testimonies equally.
Even a deputy chief must face equal treatment if they break the law.” He glanced at Lionel and ordered, “Take the suspect away.” “Understood.” Lionel retrieved handcuffs and approached Romello.
Romello’s eyes narrowed with cold determination, not budging.

As deputy chief, shouldn't you lead by example?” Romello remained silent while Frank stepped forward to explain, “Mr. Jenkins, Captain Lionel, Romello has just experienced the loss of his mother. Can we give him stto handle Madam Nicholls’s affairs before investigating him?” Elliot remained unwavering. “Madam Nicholls’s cause of death is unclear, so what's the rush?

“Take him away,” Elliot commanded with icy authority.
Romello was then escorted into the armored vehicle by Lionel and Logan.
“Mr. Romello...” Frank watched with concern.
Then, he hurried back to the mansion, gathering all the household servants and bodyguards in the backyard.
“Mr. Romello has been taken to the interrogation room for questioning, but as the Chapter 970 deputy chief, he'll return in a few days.
