“Then I’ll have someone keep guard of the ward and not let her out for the time being,” Titus gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.
“Understood.”
Titus walked out with his long legs.
After taking the elevator to the parking lot and getting into the car, he pulled out a paper bag from his pocket. There were a few strands of hair inside.
“Arrange for the injured bodyguards to be sent back to Neah Bay for treatment,” Titus said to his assistant. “And take this back with you too. Get these samples to one of our hospitals and have a DNA test done as soon as possible.”
The assistant froze and quickly took the paper bag. “This is…”
“The Madam and Suzie’s hair, ” Titus said, ” I don’t trust the hospitals in Australia to do the DNA test. “
The assistant understood.
Although Mr. Costner somewhat believed in Cate, he still had to be vigilant.
After all, who would have thought that they would discover Rosabella’s vicious nature after coming to Australia?
“Go back to the villa now. I want to interrogate Rosabella.” Titus’ eyes were chilling, and his brows were furrowed.
He had never been played by a woman like this in his whole life.
He thought that Rosabella was just money-loving, greedy, and a phony. However, he never thought that she would dare to drug Sheryl.
He hated her so much that he wanted to skin her alive.
However, before that, he had to find out why Rosabella gave Sheryl that drug.
He remembered that Sheryl had always been good to her. Maybe Sheryl found out about Rosabella’s intentions but Sheryl had already acknowledged Rosabella as her daughter. Sheryl once told him that she owed her daughter and wanted to make it up to her, so why did Rosabella need to do something so desperate like drugging her?
The car sped to the villa.
Right after he got out of the car, he noticed that several guards in the front yard were missing.
“Mr. Costner, b-bad news.” The overwhelmed butler trotted over with a pale and chubby face. ” Rosabella… Rosabella fell from the building.”
Titus stiffened, and his assistant was shocked. ” How did that happen? Is she still alive?”
” She’s dead, ” the butler shuddered and said, “You told us to lock her up, so we locked her up on the third floor. The door was locked so she probably tried to escape from the window, but she accidentally slipped and fell onto the concrete floor head first. Her skull was split open.”
“Useless!”
Titus snapped and strode over immediately.
In the open space of the backyard, a group of bodyguards had gathered around.
Next to the corner of the wall was Rosabella’s body covered with a white cloth.
When the guards saw Titus coming, they immediately made way for him.
Titus went over and lifted the cloth. When he saw Rosabella’s face, he laughed in anger.
“I told you to watch over her, yet you let this happen?” Titus’s icy eyes swept toward the guards.
All of the guards were elites, but when faced with Titus’ height of two meters, they felt oppressed by him.
In the end, it was the captain who stepped forward. “W-We’re sorry. We wanted to seal the windows but there were no boards in the villa that we could board the windows up with, so I thought that we’d seal them tomorrow. It was dark in the courtyard at night and there were no pipes on the walls that she could use to escape. Our men were also standing guard under the windows, so we didn’t think that she would escape.”
“Yes, we were also shocked when we suddenly heard a crash.” Another guard also stepped forward and said, “Mr. Costner, although you told us to watch over her, we were also sent by the prime minister to protect you. If word of this woman’s sudden death gets out, the consequences will be hard to deal with. After all, she’s not a real criminal and there’s no evidence of her crime.”
Titus glanced at the man coldly. The man’s heart thumped, but he still puffed out his chest and said, ” I’m telling the truth.”
Titus’ face grew cold as he went silent for a moment. Then, he reached out to his assistant. ” Bring me a pair of gloves.”
The assistant hurriedly found a pair of gloves from the villa and handed them to him.
Titus personally went over and crouched to examine Rosabella’s corpse. Then, he looked back at the group of guards, saying to the captain, “Take her away. You should know how to handle it. Keep a low profile.”
Then, he went upstairs and left the group of guards to stare at each other.
The assistant followed behind him. When they entered the study, he asked in a low voice, “Mr. Costner, how did she suddenly die?”
“She was pushed down from the room, ” Titus lit up a cigarette and said indifferently.
The assistant was shocked. “That can’t be.”
Then, he suddenly realized that after Titus took Sheryl to the hospital today, only two bodyguards were left in the hospital. They were still keeping guard outside her ward.
Besides the butler and servants, only the security guards were left in the villa.
If a housekeeper or servant wanted to push Rosabella down, the woman would definitely scream and resist. However, none of the guards knew about it and thought that she fell to her death from the window because she tried to escape.
It was too bizarre.
“President Costner, are you suspecting that… ” That it was someone from the security team who killed Rosabella?
When the assistant said that, Titus gave him a warning look and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “She has bruises on her back and arms, which she probably got when grappling with another person.” The assistant fell silent.
Titus was the head of the Costner family.
Although the Costner family was fiercely competitive, Titus had climbed up from the bottom step by step. Hence, he was experienced.
“President Costner, the people protecting us outside were assigned by Nathan Snow. Do you think he —“
“No. ” Titus shook his head. “Nathan just rose to his position. It’s impossible for him to control the entire country at once, and it’s impossible to make everyone loyal to him. There’ll always be people who act for the sake of profits. They’ll think differently from him.
The assistant was a little alarmed. “President Costner, why don’t we… leave Australia first? Any other country would be safer than Australia now. “
Titus snorted a laugh. ” I’ve experienced all sorts of things and even been to war-torn battlefields. Do you think I’d be scared of this?”
The assistant smiled wryly. ¡®That was when you were still young.’
“But we can’t stay here either. Who knows which ones of those guards are the good ones? They might even try to harm you.”
“Don’t worry, they won’t dare to touch me, and they won’t dare to let me die while I’m in Australia either. They only killed Rosabella to silence her.” Titus sneered. “I’m now go percent sure that she’s not Sheryl’s daughter at all.”
The assistant was shocked, and his scalp tingled. ” She’s really bold for daring to scheme with you around. However, in Madam’s current state, she won’t believe us. If she finds out that Rosabella is dead, she might even…”
Titus took a deep drag of the cigarette, his unfathomable eyes overflowing with annoyance. ” That’s why we have to cure her illness as soon as possible. Conceal this matter from her first. She mustn’t find out about it.”
The assistant thought about it. “Now that Rosabella is dead, we can’t ask her what drug she gave Madam. Why don’t I search her room…”
“Go ahead, but I don’t think you’ll be able to find anything. It was definitely taken away by someone.” Titus did not have much hope. The people around him had already killed Rosabella, so there was no way they would leave the drug behind.
The assistant went to look for the drug anyway, but in the end, nothing was found.
The next day.
Chester brought a doctor to examine Shaun, who determined that Shaun could be discharged from the hospital.
Cate immediately ran downstairs to go through the discharge formalities.
After confirming that he no longer needed to stay in the hospital, Shaun was overjoyed. “That’s great. I want to go to the playground.”
Cate, “….”
She pictured an image of a 3o- year- old man playing in the sandbox and was a little unsure of how to refuse his request.
Elle cleared her throat. “Well… Young Master Lyons, you can’t wear your patient gown out. You have to change first.”
“Elle, I already said that my name isn’t Young Master Lyons. That’s such an ugly name. Just call me Shaunny.” Shaun rolled his eyes at her and revealed a look of disdain.
