After hanging up, Sheena sat in front of her computer, falling deep in thought.
In the end, she decided to call Nathaniel.
Nathaniel, who had just completed a month-long punishment of cleaning bathrooms, was in the middle of a meeting at the Nicholls Group.
When his phone, on silent, lit up with Sheena's name, he immediately paused the meeting and stepped out to take the call, leaving a roomful of confused executives behind.
"Nana, why are you calling me at this time? Did something happen?"
Sheena's voice was grave as she said, "Did you hear about what happened to the Reynolds family? The entire family is gone."
After a few seconds, Nathaniel finally responded, "I saw the news this morning but haven't paid much attention yet. Is this why you're calling?"
He quickly caught on and added, "Do you think I did it?"
"The Reynolds family was on the verge of leaving the upper-class circle, and Umair had few enemies left. The last conflict he had was with you over Cassie…"
Nathaniel listened quietly before letting out a bitter laugh.
"So, you suspect me?"
Before Sheena could respond, he continued darkly, "Sheena, you're giving me too much credit. Killing over a hundred people in one night? I don't have that kind of power. If I wanted to deal with Cassie, I wouldn't involve others."
Sheena sighed and replied, "I know it wasn't you. I didn't mean it that way."
Nathaniel's expression softened slightly.
Sheena pressed on, analyzing earnestly, "I think this is more complex than it seems. Even though the Reynolds family was down, they were still a prominent family. If there was no personal rivalry involved, maybe the attack wasn't just aimed at the Reynolds family. It might be a threat to all of Svelton's elite families."
The most crucial point was that Nathaniel was definitely going to be questioned by the National Investigation Bureau.
Given the magnitude of the case, Elliot had to handle it personally.
With a blank face, he decisively rejected, saying, "No. We're at the company, so she's not my wife, but only an intern in the logistics department. She should focus on her job and stay out of my office."
Tommy nodded respectfully. "Yes, Mr. Nicholls."
With that, Nathaniel returned to his office, grabbed his suit jacket, and headed to the underground parking garage.
Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the gruesome scene of the Reynolds mansion.
The National Investigation Bureau was still conducting its investigation.
The area was cordoned off with police tape two meters from the perimeter, and numerous officers were stationed to keep people at bay.
Even the media, waiting for updates on the gruesome case, were kept a hundred meters from the mansion.
Nathaniel found himself stuck among the crowd, unable to get any closer.
