Silence surrounded the Chandler Manor at midnight. Other than the occasional chirps of crickets and the howling of the wind, there were no other sounds.
In the past, the Chandler Manor was always brightly lit and strictly guarded.
However, things had changed. Not only was the manor deserted, but the yard was also covered with weeds.
Other than the faint street light illuminating the road, the Chandler Manor was completely dark.
Derek was dismissed. Everything he had done while wielding authority had been investigated, and the officials who were close to him were also interrogated. No one dared interact with him anymore.
Other than the daily meal deliveries, nobody would enter the Chandler Manor anymore.
Derek had lost the battle and he had no one to blame for his downfall.
As a loser, he would not give others the chance to mock him for his failure.
