Unfortunately, Tremaine wasn't looking at Sheldon when he asked.
This was because he trusted Sheldon, so he did not need to observe Sheldon's every move when he asked questions.
"Your Excellency, not yet."
A cold light flashed across Tremaine's eyes, and he said, "Hurry up and investigate. We must catch the mole."
"Your Excellency." Sheldon hesitated. "What if there is no mole?"
Tremaine raised his head.
He smiled coldly and said, "Impossible! Without a mole, that old man wouldn't have attacked me. Continue the investigation."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Sheldon left the office.
When he walked out of the office and closed the door, he felt a chill run down his back.
Yesseca and Essie sat on the floor of the cabin.
"How did you know I would come to find you?"
Yesseca asked Essie.
Essie took a deep look at Yesseca and explained, "Because what I said is true, so I knew you would come to me."
Yesseca's eyelashes trembled violently.
She lowered her head and said nothing.
Essie's faint voice echoed through the cabin. "I know you are shocked, and you almost refused to believe me. After all, your most trusted person is the murderer of your brother. It is a bit sudden to accept, so I can understand what you're feeling."
Hearing Essie's words, Yesseca felt annoyed and angry.
She looked up at Essie and said, "Since you understand, why did you tell me? Why! Speak up!"
Essie's face darkened.
She glared coldly at Yesseca. "Are all of you from the Cowell family this unappreciative? I saved your brother's life, but he never once thanked me for it. Even now, you're disrespecting me when I was telling you the truth so you would not be in the dark anymore!"
Essie's words pierced through Yesseca's heart like a sharp sword.
The truth.
The truth.
The truth.
These words echoed in Yesseca's mind, making her head hurt.
She covered her head. "Essie, I don't know what to do. Really."
Essie leaned over until her mouth was very close to Yesseca's ear. "Selina and Matthew killed your brother. What are you going to do? Don't you want to avenge your brother?"
The words 'avenge' caused Yesseca to tremble.
She subconsciously blurted out, "How can I take revenge?"
"Kill Selina." Essie stared coldly at Yesseca. "Take back Lothar's heart."
Yesseca's face instantly turned pale.
She shook her head desperately. "No, I can't kill her. I can't. I can't do that."
"Why not?" Essie raised her voice. "Yesseca, she killed your brother. Why can't you kill her?"
"No, I can't." Instead of answering Essie's question, Yesseca shook her head vigorously.
Essie stopped talking as she contiued to glare at Yesseca.
After a long time, Yesseca finally calmed down.
She buried her head in her knees as if she was talking to herself, "What I should do? What I should do?"
She thought she had had a clear idea of what she was going to do, so she came to see Essie.
But when she met her, she suddenly didn't know what to do next.
Essie had told her to kill Selina.
But she couldn't possibily do that.
Even though she was unwilling to admit it, the truth that it was Selina who killed Lothar remained. Deep in her heart, she still treated Selina as her sister and the person closest to her in the world.
How could she kill her sister? The only person whom she had?
The pain on her head was getting more and more stronger.
