Chapter 486
Neil and Silvia drove to the Remus Family’s mansion. There, they ran into Jake, who was about to leave. He was surprised to see them, and he instinctively hid something behind his back.
They noticed his action but did not say anything about it.
“Neil, why are you here? Did something happen?”
Neil nodded and looked at him calmly. “Dad, we've brought Troy Zobel back. He’s currently at Green Hills Mental Health Hospital.”
Jake widened his eyes in shock and forced a smile. “That was quick.”
“Yeah. If you want to visit him, you can go anytime.”
Jake nodded. “Okay. | have some things to do later, so | won't join you for dinner.”
“If you remember anyone Uncle and Auntie might have offended in the past, give me a call.”
Jake was about to say something when a police car stopped at the mansion’s entrance. His expression instantly darkened. Two police officers got out and approached them.
“Jake Remus, we've found new evidence related to Sean Remus and Beatrice Gould's car accident. Please come with us. We need a statement from you.”
Neil's gaze turned cold. It looked like Liam had begun to take action against Jake.
Jake frowned and said, “Why do | have to give a statement about my brother and sister-—in- law's accident now? | was overseas when it happened. It had nothing to do with me.
“You were the victim’s brother, so we need to ask you some questions. Please come with us.”
In the end, they all went to the police station together.
After he gave his statement, Jake came out looking visibly upset.
When he saw that Neil and Silvia were still at the entrance, he frowned. “Why are you still here?” Neil spoke calmly, “What did the police ask you?”
Jake froze for a moment and angrily said, “Neil Remus, what’s with your attitude?! Do you think | had something to do with their accident too?!”

“| only trust the evidence | see, and your actions seem suspicious. Whenever | ask about my uncle and aunt, you dodge my questions. It’s as if you’ve done something wrong.”
“| don’t know anything about it. Don’t come asking me about them ever again!”
With that, Jake left in a huff.
Silvia looked on as he walked away. His angry reaction clearly hinted that he was hiding something. She refused to believe that he was clueless.
Back at the mansion, she looked at Neil and said, “I don’t think we should rely on Troy.”
Troy did not seem to be acting based on his behavior today.
“Yeah, we're just figuring out why he suddenly went mad. If we follow this lead, we might uncover who's behind all of this.” Silvia nodded. “Okay.”
As she was about to start cooking, the doorbell rang.
The moment she opened the door, Cora knelt before them. “Mr. Remus, Miss Pond, please spare the Walls Family! We had no idea that Mr. Walls planned to harm you. If we had known, we would have stopped him. Please spare us this once!”
Silvia looked at her with indifference. “Mrs. Walls, these theatrics are unnecessary. Please get up.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Miss Pond, it was Mr. Walls’s decision alone, and he has faced the consequences for his actions. He’s still lying in the hospital. Elaine has also taken his money. If you don’t spare our family, we'll go bankrupt!”
