Although Bart was angry in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he looked at his children with disbelief and asked, "Is what Claude said true? Did you really do such a disgraceful thing?"
"I didn't."
"It wasn't me."
The quiet dining room suddenly burst into chaos, with each person frantically denying allegations before Bart, trying to clear themselves of suspicion. Only four people remained motionless in the dining room.
One was Marian, who had already been blackmailed once by Claude. Among the other three were the twins, Job and Albo, along with Nancy, who was frightened into unconsciousness by Xu Ke. They had all been at the estate for a long time, and although Claude didn't return often, they knew enough to understand that Claude wouldn't throw accusations without evidence. If he came so boldly today, it meant he had the evidence in his possession, and denying it would only make things worse.
