Rowena walked toward the table with a cup of coffee in her hand and placed it on the table. Seeing that
Titus had been cold to her recently, she knew that he was holding a grudge against her after that night
Nolan had nearly gotten into an “accident.”
She bit her lips and said in a pitiful manner, “Grandpa, I already found out who wanted to harm Nolan. It’s
Stone.”
Titus was stunned. He put the newspaper down and raised his head to look at her, his face gloomy.
“Stone? The guy I sent you?”
Titus was familiar with Stone. Stone was responsible for giving assessments to those who wanted to join
the Night Banquet. He had been working together with Hans in the Night Banquet. It was just that Titus
had asked him to assist Rowena afterward.
Rowena took a seat next to him and explained, “Yes, it’s him. Grandpa, I really had no idea that Stone
would do something like that.”
“You didn’t know?” Titus put the newspaper on the table. “He takes orders from you. If you hadn’t abetted
him, how would he have the nerves to do such a thing?”
Rowena knew that Titus was still suspicious of her. She squeezed a few drops of tears from the comer of
her eyes and said,” Grandpa, you know how much I love Nolan. Even if I’ve admitted that I tried to hurt
Maisie, I would never have hurt Nolan.”
Titus did not say anything. He seemed like he was mulling over the things she said.
“Grandpa, Stone has never wanted to work for me at all. He has never asked for my permission to do
anything. Besides, he harbored such feelings for me and…”
Titus looked at her and asked, “And what? **
Rowena bit her lips and said, “He tried to force me to be with him, but I refused. I told him that I love
Nolan and Nolan only. I guess that was the reason he tried to harm Nolan. I’m sorry, Grandpa. This is all
my fault.”
Titus took a deep breath. If this was really the case, then Stone should have indeed tried to harm Nolan
out of “jealousy.”
Suddenly, Rowena pulled her sleeve up and showed Titüs the scar on her arm. “When I went to confront
Stone, he tried to take me with him. I used a knife to defend myself, but he eventually snatched the knife
away and cut me before I fled.”
Titus’ face was filled with rage. “How dare he! He’s such a j*ck*ss!”
A hint of triumph crossed Rowena’s eyes when she saw that Titus had taken pity on herself and believed
what she said.
Stone was dead, and nobody could prove her wrong. Even if they tried to look into it, they wouldn’t be
able to get anything.
She just needed to push all the blame to Stone now, and Titus would not suspect her anymore!
you lie to me!?”
Rowena was stunned as a flicker of bad hunch rose from her stomach pit.
‘D*mn it! Why would she suddenly come here?’
When Titus saw Cherie was shouting at Rowena rudely, he frowned and barked, “Have you forgotten all
the manners you learned in the training camp?”
Cherie was fearful of Titus, but she couldn’t back away now. “You can’t blame me for this, Elder Master
Goldmann. Rowena lied to m e!”
Rowena jerked up from the chair and walked up to her with a smile on her face. She grabbed her hand
and said, “Cherie, let’s go out and talk. Grandpa needs to rest.”
Cherie flung her hand away. “Stop touching me, you pretentious b*tch. Let me ask you a question. Did
you take advantage of me?
“You asked me the other day where the man Mr. Goldmann and the others had arrested was. I told you
where he was, and then he was killed last night. You did it, didn’t you!?”
