The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1865

They checked the window, but the window was shut tight, curtains drawn.

At first, they thought the place was empty, but one of the more experienced ones noticed something off about the situation at the door.

He bent down for a closer look, finding something blocking the gap beneath the door.

Leaning in closer, an all-too-familiar stench hit his nostrils.

They knew that smell. They had just smelled it by the butler's corpse at the lotus pond.

In a panic, they dialed 911.

The local patrolling cops showed up and got a whiff of the smell, instantly realizing something was off.

After they busted the door open, they found two dead bodies of the missing security guards in the living room and the bathroom.

The air then was thick with humidity and heat. A downpour was in full swing.

Rosalynn sat in the car, taking shelter from the rain.

Felix came back shortly.

"The security guards were killed by cyanide poisoning," he said as he got into the car, stating the cause of death.

Tapping her knee, Rosalynn leaned back into the headrest and closed her eyes. After a moment of silence, she said, "Killing someone in the Scott family's house without leaving a trace and even killing her accomplices, I really underestimated her."

"You mean Jennifer?" Felix looked skeptical.

Everyone knew Jennifer was a dumb woman. In a TV drama, she'd be the one whose evil plans get discovered and foiled by the protagonist in no time.

How could she have offed the butler and two armed guards without anyone noticing?

"And who do you think did it?"

"Um..." Felix pondered. "In murder cases, barring the psychos, there are only three possibilities: vengeance, passion, or money. I guess... maybe it was some sort of dispute between the security guards and the butler? They might have committed the murder together, then someone betrayed them, and they offed the traitor!"
