She opened a bag of pink powder and let the police dog sniffle it, and then the dog started doing his job.
With a sensitive nose, the dog followed the trace of the smell to the servants, most of who were too afraid to move a bit.
When the dog came closer to the sweating servant, fear forced him to run away.
But the dog targeted him and lunged at him, catching him by his legs. with a bite.
“Don’t bite me… Please…”

Against the sunlight, the crowd came forward and could see glittering spots on the bottom of Peter’s feet, the same bright light that the powder gave off.

Faced with the evidence and the presence of the police, Peter could not stand it. He fell to his knees and confessed, “I’released the snake… Madam Nelson… I was wrong… Please forgive me!”
Gabriella snapped, “Peter, when did the Nelson family ever mistreat you? Why did you do such a horrible thing? Why would you want to harm Remington?”
“I…”
Peter looked up with tears in his helpless eyes.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Peter could only say, “Because Remington… He criticized me back then, so I held a grudge against him and did this stupid thing…”
The Nelson family remembered this incident. A few months earlier, Remington had seen Peter trying to grope a maid.
Remington would have thrown Peter out of the Nelson family if Gabriella and Carlos hadn’t intervened.
The Nelson family decided to give Peter a chance to make things. right because he was a senior servant. However, no one expected Peter to try to get back at Remington instead of correcting himself. “Peter, I never thought you would hate Remington for such a trivial matter, and you even wanted to get back at him. You failed me!”
Gabriella regretted having forgiven Peter and said, “Since you’ve made a mistake, you’ll have to take responsibility for it. Officer, please take him away!”
The police came forward and took Peter, who then cried out in pain. “Madam Nelson, I’m sorry, I have failed the Nelson family… I will take the consequences. Please pardon my family…”
Peter almost yelled the last words and seemed afraid that no one. would hear him.
Peter was taken away by the police. With a deep sigh, Gabriella said, “Today, thanks to Cecelia’s wisdom. If it weren’t for her, the murderer might still be at large. Cecelia has done us a huge favor! We should all be grateful to her!”
The more Gabriella looked at Cecelia the more she appreciated.
