The arrival of the policemen and the dog beat away everyone’s confusion.
Meanwhile, a male servant in the lines outside the gate was on the brink of breaking down.
He was sweating on his forehead and guilt climbing up his mind, but he had to force himself to stay calm, couldn’t show any panic at all.
Madame Nelson led everyone out of the lobby and saw Cecelia coming with policemen to the mansion.
Sabrina snorted, “Turns out she’s ordinary and also asks for the police’s help. Boo!”
Cecelia came near and explained, “Madam Nelson, apart from on the rope, I sprinkled the special powder on the ground under the snake. If the thief had to walk away, he must have stepped on it! Let the police dog sniffle and we’ll spot ‘him!”
She opened a bag of pink powder and let the police dog sniffle it, and then the dog started doing his job.
With a sensitive nose, the dog followed the trace of the smell to the servants, most of who were too afraid to move a bit.
When the dog came closer to the sweating servant, fear forced him to run away.
But the dog targeted him and lunged at him, catching him by his legs. with a bite.
“Don’t bite me… Please…”
That servant got bitten on his shank and began howling painfully on the ground.
Cecelia excliamed, “See? He’s the murderer!”

to murder her grandson.
“Peter Sheldon, was it really you who sent the snake? Why on earth did you try to murder Remi?” Madam Nelson questioned in anger.
Samuel also chided, “How dare you try to murder my son! You’re digging your own tomb!”
The police pulling the dog away though, Peter Sheldon was rolling on the ground still, Cecelia alsó questioned, “Peter Sheldon, now that you’re spotted and tried to run away out of guilt, what’re you gonna have to say?”
Carlos Minton took a step forward and berated him, “Peter Sheldon! Did you send the snake? Confess!”
“Madam Nelson, Master… Spare me… It wasn’t me… I’m innocent…” Peter Sheldon cried out.
“Still denying even at the end of your rope, huh?”
Cecelia walked closer and grabbed a shoe Perter Sheldom kicked off his foot and showed it to Madame Nelson.

Against the sunlight, the crowd came forward and could see glittering spots on the bottom of Peter’s feet, the same bright light that the powder gave off.
“It’s the same!”
The crowd confirmed that Peter had stolen the snake!
Faced with the evidence and the presence of the police, Peter could not stand it. He fell to his knees and confessed, “I’released the snake… Madam Nelson… I was wrong… Please forgive me!”
Gabriella snapped, “Peter, when did the Nelson family ever mistreat you? Why did you do such a horrible thing? Why would you want to harm Remington?”
“I…”
Peter looked up with tears in his helpless eyes.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Peter could only say, “Because Remington… He criticized me back then, so I held a grudge against him and did this stupid thing…”
The Nelson family remembered this incident. A few months earlier, Remington had seen Peter trying to grope a maid.
Remington would have thrown Peter out of the Nelson family if Gabriella and Carlos hadn’t intervened.
The Nelson family decided to give Peter a chance to make things. right because he was a senior servant. However, no one expected Peter to try to get back at Remington instead of correcting himself. “Peter, I never thought you would hate Remington for such a trivial matter, and you even wanted to get back at him. You failed me!”
Gabriella regretted having forgiven Peter and said, “Since you’ve made a mistake, you’ll have to take responsibility for it. Officer, please take him away!”
The police came forward and took Peter, who then cried out in pain. “Madam Nelson, I’m sorry, I have failed the Nelson family… I will take the consequences. Please pardon my family…”
Peter almost yelled the last words and seemed afraid that no one. would hear him.
Peter was taken away by the police. With a deep sigh, Gabriella said, “Today, thanks to Cecelia’s wisdom. If it weren’t for her, the murderer might still be at large. Cecelia has done us a huge favor! We should all be grateful to her!”
The more Gabriella looked at Cecelia the more she appreciated.
