Sensing my urgency, Nibel winked and signaled me not to worry. He leaned against the sofa with an air of arrogance. "What kind of situation do you think will drive someone to suicide?"

"Stop talking."

My hands were clenched into fists as I shook faintly.

Thomas Grant was Theo's father. For him to have actually done such a thing....

Nibel let out a sneer. "They took great pains to force Millicent Yard into submission. Unfortunately, none of them expected that she would kill herself. In order to cover up the truth, the Grants and the Yards jointly obstructed the news and had this matter sink into the sea. Tsk tsk, how cruel of them."
