The butler was reluctant to interrupt, but the urgency of the matter outside could no longer be ignored.
He had no choice but to call, "Master Andrew…"
"What is it?! Come back when I'm finished dealing with this trash!" Andrew barked at the butler, his eyes blazing with fury.
"Sir, I apologize, but there are police detectives outside. And... they've come to see Master Jared." The butler's words hit like a slap, leaving everyone in the room momentarily speechless as they turned to stare at Jared in shock.
The tension in the living room thickened.
Then Jared finally spoke, shattering the silence. "A police detective? Why??" His voice was trembling with disbelief. Why are the authorities coming after him?
The butler turned to face Jared. "Sir, they didn't explicitly say it, but I accidentally overheard one of the detectives speaking with his partner. You're suspected of being involved in a criminal act… se-sending an assassin to kill someone…"
The room fell into stunned silence.
