Yed leveled a suspicious re at Ned just then, snapping sharply and bluntly, "Not everyone can get


    their hands on such a terrible poison, and we all know how affable my father is—no one has a motive


    other than Ned. Dad was in a room alone with him for over an hourst night. I''m sure he did it at that


    time!"


    "Do you have evidence?" Lothar asked, shooting Yed a look.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    He was no fool—Yed was the most ambitious in the family, while Ned was always cowering and never


    straying out of line.


    No matter how Lothar thought about it, he was not convinced that Ned would ever go that far.


    Instead, it was Yed who was the most suspicious.


    "I-I didn''t poison Dad," Ned braced himself and argued his case. "Why would I do something like that?


    Don''t try to nder me, Yed..."


    "What, are you talking back to me?!" Yed''s eyes shed dangerously and he strode up toward Ned,


    ready to beat him up.


    "How dare you snap at Daddy, eunuch!" Hal chimed in.


    "Enough!" Lothar bellowed, his expression icy. "No infighting until we found out what happened, Yed! If


    you insist it''s Ned, then show some evidence! Coercion won''t help your case!"


    Yedughed coolly right then. "But I have evidence, Uncle Lothar!"


    Ned looked up, taken aback—Yed had evidence!


    At the same time, Yed whipped out his phone to show a security camera recording of Pa walking


    through the hallway.


    She was carrying a tray with a teapot, and Ned came up to her, taking the tray eagerly and saying he


    would take it to his father.


    He then disappeared into a dead angle before reappearing and bringing the tea to Ciril''s room.


    "This is nder!" Ned cried in agitation after seeing the recording. "I wasing here to speak with


    Dad about the Sunzers!"


    Yed strode up and seized him by the cor. "Then why did you disappear from the cameras?! What


    were you doing there?!"


    "I-I didn''t do anything!" Ned cried. "The cameras missed me, that''s all! I''d never poison Dad—what


    good would that do for me?!" "Hah! What good, you say?!" Pa snorted as she chimed in. "You''re just


    jealous he chose Yed to be his sessor and wanted petty revenge!"


    ''What..." Ned was frustrated but had no way of arguing back.


    In the end, it was Lothar who stood up for him, grabbing Yed by the wrist and growling icily, "Boy, the


    video might work as evidence, but it''s not enough. Yes, the cameras didn''t cover every angle, but the


    duration between Ned appearing and disappearing matches the pace he was walking in. In other


    words, he never hid there."
