Chapter 190 I Need You

Ever since that press conference that shook the city to its core, Nancy had remained at Gates Manor. The vast manor was unusually quiet. Suddenly, her phone rang. She glanced down at the screen, which lit up with the name "Maximilian." Nancy swiped to answer. "Nance," Maximilian started. His tone was light and easy as always, but he quickly got down to business. "I have the results from the investigation into the vault where you suspected the toxin was hidden. We checked the entry logs for the past 20 years and found nothing unusual." Nancy's fingers tapped lightly and absentmindedly on the sofa armrest. "If nothing showed up from 20 years ago, then go further back." "We did," Maximilian said. "There is a single record from 21 years ago. The previous Sullivan family butler entered the vault once." Nancy's fingers froze mid-tap. She had a vague memory of the previous butler, an elderly man who had spent most of his life with the Sullivans before apparently resigning on his own.
