Chapter 1697
Logan’s suppressed anger nearly boiled over as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to go beat someone up.
Aspen’s face was also filled with fury.
These bastards were being way too disrespectful.
However, Andrew remained completely calm and said to Mason, “Arrange a room for me. I’ll rest for a while, and call me when the banquet starts.”
Mason replied with a half–smile, “Of course, Mr. Lloyd. This way, please.”
Then, a younger member of the Ulrich family led the three of them around the corridor into a guest room.
As soon as they entered, Logan punched the decorative screen. “Mason, that ungrateful bastard. We were the ones who helped him become the new head of the Ulrich family! Damn it, now he’s turning around to bite us. I‘ ot to find a way to take him down!”
Andrew leaned back on the couch, comfortably crossing his legs. He beckoned to Aspen, who blushed but obediently came over to massage his shoulders and legs.
“Don’t get so worked up. I’m starting to get a clearer picture of how Cillian died,” he replied casually while enjoying Aspen’s massage.
Logan was stunned. “What do you mean? Didn’t that unlucky old bastard die at the nursing home? At his age, I ‘figured he’d lived long enough anyway.”
Andrew sneered. “Only someone as naive as you would believe Cillian died of natural causes.”
Logan looked bewildered. “Wait, what are you saying? Are you telling me Cillian was murdered?”
Andrew snorted. “Of course he was murdered, and I’m 100% certain of it! The public opinion outside is already one–sided. Everyone suspects that I, the new chairman, did it. Since Cillian and I did have conflicts, it’s obvious that whoever’s behind this knows about our history. So, killing him and framing me for it seems perfectly logical.”
Logan nodded repeatedly. “That’s actually quite possible. So, who do you think killed Cillian?”
Aspen jumped in first. “I think it was Mason, the new head of the Ulrich family! Earlier in the wake, I could tell that he didn’t look sad at all!”
Logan was puzzled. “How could you tell?”
Aspen smiled. “You guys didn’t notice, but I did! Mason had a gun tucked at his back. Being so fully prepared like that means he’s either expecting to meet someone important, or he’s ready for a fight!”
Andrew snapped his fingers appreciatively. “Excellent observation skills and very sharp awareness! It looks like training you to be an assassin was the right choice.”
Aspen smiled shyly. “It’s all because you taught me so well Mr. Lloyd!”
Logan felt disgusted. “Could you two please stop showing off your relationship? I have at least a hundred lady friends in Blumedale! If you keep throwing around this lovey–dovey stuff, I’ll make one phone call and all of them crash this place right now and watch you drown in jealousy!‘
Aspen giggled and rolled her eyes without saying anything
Andrew continued, “Back to the point. I also think Mason is about to meet someone important. This person might very well be Cillian’s killer.”

Logan shook his head. “I don’t agree with that theory. No matter how much of a scumbag Mason is, he couldn’t possibly team up with someone to kill his own father.”
