“In any case, this is the current situation. Bartitsu Guild has been quite active recently. However, what concerns me more is not the guild but the internal affairs of the Cox family.” 

Upon hearing this, Neera immediately asked, “What’s going on within the Cox family?” 

“You warned me before to be wary of Albert. After that, I had people keep an eye on him and found that he indeed often had close contact with the guild in private. I had warned him before to cut off his ties with the guild. Now that the Cox family is no longer under the control of the guild, any further contact would be inappropriate. But it’s clear he didn’t take my words to heart. He’s met with the guild more than once in private, but what exactly was discussed, I still don’t know. I always feel that he-” 

Neera interjected, “Do you suspect that he might be a mole, conspiring with the guild?” 

Avery nodded. 

After recalling her previous doubts and concerns, Neera once again shared her speculations. 

“Do you remember what I mentioned before? The reason your parents were poisoned is likely due to an inside job. Now that I think about it, the likelihood of Albert being responsible is quite high.” 

Her words caused Avery to fall silent. 

After some thought, Neera suggested, “Since we have doubts about him and his behavior is indeed strange, why don’t we test him and see what comes out of it? If he’s innocent, we can eliminate that possibility. If he’s guilty, the truth about your parents’ death and the truth about the wug poison in your body will be revealed to all.” 

Avery’s heart was stirred. After some thought, he felt it was a good idea, but he still had a question. “How should we set him up?” 

Neera hadn’t considered this question before, so she didn’t respond immediately. She pondered for a moment, then came up with a solution. 

“What Albert fears most right now is the exposure of his collusion with Bartitsu Guild. On the other hand, what he should be most afraid of is the exposure of the truth from back then. Of course, this is under the assumption that he was the one who poisoned your parents. If the truth is revealed, it would mean the end for him. So, let’s just use this to our advantage by spreading the news within the Cox family that there’s a lead to the death of the family head years ago.” 

Avery asked again, “What kind of leads?” 

“Just say I’ve managed to find out on the black market about the person related to the wug and traced its origins. We should be able to quickly identify who bought this type of wug during that period. The wug poison is extremely rare. Few people know about it, let alone know where to buy it. From this process of elimination, we can figure out who has connections with the Cox family.” 

Avery believed the idea was feasible. After he left, he immediately spread the news throughout the Cox family. 

The news quickly reached Albert’s ears. 

During dinner, Albert warily asked Avery, “Did Neera come to the Cox residence this afternoon just to discuss this matter?” 

Avery was eating at a leisurely pace when he looked up to glance. With an indifferent expression, he hummed in 

response. 

10:55 Mon, 11 Dec y J 

Rio and Ronald were quite excited, oblivious to the fact that it was a trap. 

“It hasn’t been easy. After all these years, we finally have some clues about the truth of the past. I’m curious to see who exactly poisoned the former family head and his family, causing them to pass away at such a young age and leaving you in such a frail state. If it weren’t for Ms. Garcia, you might already be on the brink of death right now.” 

Albert’s eyes rolled around, seemingly quite irritated. He poked his food with his food, evident that he had lost his appetite. 

“It’s been such a long time since this happened. Can we really trust her when she says she has a lead? Maybe she’s just using this as an excuse to curry favor with the Cox family! I refuse to believe that she has the capability to dig up and investigate the events from so many years ago!” 

Rio frowned, reminding him, “Albert, have you forgotten who Ms. Garcia is? Given the current status of the Gordon family, why she does she need to curry favor with the Cox family? Currently, our family relies on the Gordon family to establish a firm footing in Lordsworth Estate. I know you’re dissatisfied with her, but no matter how dissatisfied you are, you have to admit that she is truly capable and has a good heart.” 

“Alright, alright, stop praising her all the time. I don’t know what kind of spell she has cast on our family, making each and every one of you so fond of her.” 

Albert showed clear signs of exasperation. 

At that moment, Avery suddenly probed, “Uncle Albert, why do you suddenly seem quite agitated? Is there something troubling you? Why don’t you tell us about it, so we can all help you sort it out.” 

Caught off guard by the question, Albert was momentarily stunned. He quickly shook his head in denial. “No, no, there’s nothing bothering me. We’re just discussing Robin’s matter, aren’t we?” 

“Oh, I see,” Avery responded with a smile, appearing casual as he added, “I thought it was the news Neera brought today that had you worried.” 

When he heard the remark, a flash of panic instantly crossed Albert’s eyes. 

“What are you blabbering about? What do I have to worry about? I wasn’t the one who bought the wug poison back then!” 

“I didn’t say it was you. Why are you so nervous?” Avery prevaricated casually. 

Right then, Albert realized that he had overreacted. His expression stiffened slightly before he pretended as if nothing had happened. 

“No, I’m not nervous at all. I’m just surprised to hear about something from so many years ago. After all, the truth has been buried for so long that it’s uncertain whether it can be uncovered. Let’s not hold too high expectations. Although I’m saddened by the deaths of the former head of the family and his wife, some things are water under the bridge and no amount of scrutiny will change that.” 

Upon hearing these words, Avery suddenly let out a cryptic chuckle. “How can you say that? The pursuit of truth is a necessity. I must find out who was responsible for the deaths of my parents and my suffering. Who exactly wanted to harm the Cox family, and what was their ultimate goal? What did they hope to gain from it?” 

As he spoke, he fixed his darkened gaze on Albert. 

When Rio and Ronald saw the scene before them, they couldn’t pinpoint why, but something felt off. Seeing Albert’s clearly flustered expression only intensified their unease. They had a vague sense that something bad was 

The dinner concluded amidst the awkward atmosphere. By the time Albert returned to his room, his expression had turned thoroughly gloomy. 

Although he was unclear whether what Neera said was true or whether she really found a clue related to the wug poison from years ago, the thought of Neera having so many friends in the medical field and her considerable understanding of the Wug poison suggested that she might indeed have found some kind of clue. 

The realization made him fear for the worst. If his deeds from the past were ever exposed, he would be finished, as the consequences were too dreadful to even contemplate. 

So, no matter what, he had to prevent any clues about the truth from being discovered. 

From the conversation at the dinner table that night, he had a vague feeling that Avery must have learned something, or perhaps Neera had told him something important.
