Carter and I were still speculating on how our enemy would deal with Silas’s body, even preparing to lure them out. But we never expected them to turn the tables and report to the police. 

If Silas was really dead, then the Boltons were in serious trouble, facing both a lawsuit and a heap of problems. 

If he was alive, the police would soon find out. 

The people behind this had truly dark intentions. 

The police’s arrival surprised everyone. Adam rushed back, and when he saw the police surrounding him, he started shouting, “What is going on? Why are the police here at my house!” 

“Mr. Bolton, one officer replied, “Your maid has reported that there’s a body in the estate. We’ve come to investigate. 

Adam, completely clueless, was stunned. “A body? Are estate have a body? Who called the police?” 

I sure you have the right place? Where would the 

The commotion even alerted Jeffrey, who had been resting, to come downstairs. The police had sealed off all the exits of the estate- 

-no one could leave, only enter. 

The maid who stepped forward was Linda Snider, the one who had drugged Silas. I had always thought well of her. 

Daisy, though loud, was harmless. Linda, on the other hand, was more reserved and seemed efficient–she had always appeared honest. 

No one had expected her to do something like this. 

When she raised her hand to admit it, all eyes turned to her. 

Daisy, still confused, looked at Linda. She asked, “Linda what body are you talking about? Are you crazy? 

Jeffrey’s sharp gaze shot toward Linda, and he said, Tm curious too. When did my house hide a body?” 

An officer asked, “Since you’re the one who called the police, why don’t you tell us where you found this 

Who is it?”

Linda, trembling under everyone’s gaze, spoke with a shaking voice. “Officer, I haven’t seen the body, but I suspect someone was murdered here!” 

“Tell me. Why do you suspect that?” The officer asked. 

“Yesterday, I noticed a lot of bodyguards standing outside the small shed in the backyard. I’ve worked at the estate for years and have never seen anything like it. There were also people carrying food from the kitchen to the shed. I thought maybe someone inside couldn’t move freely,” she explained. 

Adam’s face turned red with anger when he heard this. He snapped, “You ungrateful snake! I’ve treated you. well, and this is how you repay me? Making up such ridiculous lies to slander my family? I, as the family head, didn’t even know there was anyone back there, but you, a mere maid, knew all along?”

Chapter 284 The Police Found Silas 

Despite the seriousness of the moment, Adam’s words sounded somewhat comical. 

His position as family head was questionable at best. After all, not only did he not know about the person in the backyard, but he also hadn’t even realized that his own son had been swapped for years. So it was no surprise he didn’t know what was going on in the backyard. 

Nelson gestured to calm Adam down. He said, “Mr. Bolton, please, let her continue. Since you didn’t see a body, how can you be so sure someone is dead?” 

Linda, still trembling, added, “This afternoon, I saw Mc Carter’s assistant going in and out of the small shed. They were carrying cleaning supplies… and a large body bag. I was terrified. I feared someone in the Boltons had taken a life, so I quickly called the police. 

Linda recounted what she had seen, and Nelson turned to Carter. 

“Mr. Carter, would you like to explain yourself?” 

Carter remained indifferent, unconcerned by Linda’s accusations. He calmly replied, “Like Adam, I have no idea about anybody.” 

“Well then, please lead us to the shed so we can take a look for ourselves. 

Linda eagerly responded, “This way 

It seemed that she had been keeping an eye on the shed, waiting for Silas to be moved so she could report it to the police before anything could be hidden. 

The group headed to the backyard’s small shed, where bodyguards remained at the door. 

Adam began to panic. He hadn’t expected there to be bodyguards guarding the backyard. Could Linda be telling the truth? What had Carter been up to in the house? 

Nelson turned to Carter and asked, “Mr. Carter, would you mind if we checked inside?” 

“Go ahead,” Carter replied, his eyes still calm, making Adam even more uncertain. 

Adam gave Carter several hinted glances, his eyes nearly twitching with strain. Carter pretended not to notice, not even acknowledging him with a glance. 

Then, he turned to me, trying to catch my eye for some hint. 

I raised my gaze and asked. “Adam, are your eyes cramping? I know an old doctor who’s great at treating things like that. He specializes in facial spasm and Bell’s palsy.” 

Adam was furious. “You might as well let Carter take a look, in case you can’t bear children.”
