“That’s it? Don’t you have anything else to ask? For example, who will I choose to design my jewelry?” Siena chuckled.
“You’re not stupid.” Elijah dusted off his cigarette without much expression.
It was no fun talking to someone who was too smart.
Siena was about to talk about the contents of the contract when she suddenly heard someone exclaim. “Fire! Fire! Help!“,
Elijah glanced at Siena, turned around, and ran out.
Siena put out her cigarette and clicked her tongue twice. She thought, My manor has not been so lively for several years
The manor was close to the mountains, and now it was autumn, and the withered leaves in the mountains were occasionally blown in. So their fire prevention awareness was especially strong.
Not long after the fire started, it was extinguished by them.
But the most special garden was affected. The beautiful flowers inside were burned beyond recognition.
Eleanor heard the sound and ran out of the washroom. She saw Elijah rushing over from not far away.
As he was approaching the washroom, Zoey rushed into his arms.
She said, “Elijah, I’m fine. It’s just that the fire was too sudden. It was too scary.”
“Well,” Elijah replied softly. Obviously, his frown eyebrow relaxed a lot.
Eleanor stopped a few steps away from the two of them When she looked up, she met Elijah’s gaze. There was an unknown meaning in his eyes.
She looked away and looked at the burned garden.
Siena questioned the servant, “What’s going on? Didn’t remind you to pay attention to fire prevention?”
“Siena, we check every hour. This time, it’s really not our fault. It’s…” The servants looked at each other hesitantly.
Siena asked as she looked at the servants with an oppressive gaze, “What is it? Tell me clearly!”
One of the servants held a lighter. She explained, “This is a lighter found in the garden. We didn’t see it just now. Someone clearly set fire!”
Siena took the lighter. It was expensive and there was a ring of diamonds around it. How could a servant afford it?
She turned to look at the Eleanor and others. “Whose?”

Haven immediately said, ‘It’s not mine. I don’t smoke. Besides, I was over there just now. Elijah and you could see me.
Siena nodded and said, “I did see you, but I only saw you. Where did the others go?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she stared at Eleanor and Zoey coldly.
Zoey’s face turned pale. “This… This is my lighter. I especially got someone to customize it for Elijah. But I’ve always kept it in my bag. I don’t know why it appeared here,” she said.
“Where did you go just now?” Siena continued to ask.
Zoey replied, “I just walked around and wanted to get inspiration for my design. I heard that there was a fire, so I ran over. I didn’t set it on fire! I really…
She was on the verge of tears. As she spoke, she clutched her chest as if she was about to die in the next second.
Elijah supported her and frowned at Siena. “Investigate
Eleanor, who was standing silently at the side, listened to his words, feeling heartbroken.
Although she knew from the beginning that Elijah would definitely protect Zoey, she had always thought that Elijah just did not trust the evidence she provided.
Now she understood. Nothing would affect his favoritism towards Zocy.
Eleanor felt sad and ridiculous.
In his eyes, her previous explanations were just nonsense.
Siena was a little dissatisfied with Elijah’s attitude. She banded over the lighter and said, “This is the evidence. She has admitted it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a servant suddenly shouted, “Who? Who’s there?”
Julian was dragged out by the servant.
“Let me go, let me go…” Julian struggled as she was brought in front of everyone.
Siena glanced at Julian coldly and asked, “Why are you hiding there? Did you set the fire?”
Julian was so frightened that she sat on the ground and shook her head hard. She said aggrievedly, “Siena, it’s not me. It’s really not me! I just came out with Eleanor to use the washroom. Later, I didn’t see Eleanor, so I went around. Who knew that I would get lost? I was brought here by a servant.”
With that, she pointed at the servant at the side.
The servant nodded at Siena, confirming that what Julian said was true.
When Siena heard this, she narrowed her eyes and glanced at Eleanor and Zoey.
She said, “In that case, it’s most likely the two of you. This lighter belongs to Miss Taylor, so…”

Zocy’s eyes were filled with tears as she choked and said. “I also have a witness. I bumped into a watering servant at the place I went to just now. I even chatted with her for a while. If you don’t believe me, you can let her come over and ask.”
