Mastermind Behind the Scenes “Do you still want to argue, Renee? You killed Peter after failing to kill
me. Besides that, you don’t even want to let off my son Andres.” Remington angrily added,
“Grandmother, the fire at your residence that night was actually caused by this woman. She was trying
to kill Andres.”
“What?” Gabriella looked at Renee in disbelief.
Renee cried and said, “I’m innocent, Gabriella. The fire that night was caused by old wiring. What does
it have to do with me?”
“Old wiring is just a reason. In reality, you had someone drug with Gail’s food, causing her to have
diarrhea that night. You also asked someone to take Maelynn from my grandma’s residence and then
set the fire, wanting to burn down the house and kill my son. How wicked you are!”
Remington glared daggers at Renee, and everyone was looking at her.
Cynthia exclaimed, “Oh my God! How could you do that? You
wanted to kill not only my brother but also my nephew? You vicious woman!”
Sabrina defended her mother, saying, “That’s impossible! Don’t slander my mom!”
“Slander? Listen to this and see if I’m slandering her!”
Remington played a recording, and soon the voices of the two people talking could be heard.
It was the conversation about Renee asking Carlos to set the fire.
After the recording was played, Remington’s cold gaze swept over Renee and Carlos.
Carlos immediately explained, “I didn’t do that. I was with Madam Nelson at the hospital that night. Miss
Cynthia was also there.” Carlos provided an alibi, but Remington saw through it in an instant. “It wasn’t
you who did it, indeed. But you made the arrangements secretly. The arsonist was the ser vant Owen.
Bring Owen here!” Soon, the subordinates brought the ser vant Owen to the main hall. “Owen, what on
earth happened? Tell the truth!” Gabriella scolded. Upon seeing everyone, Owen was so scared that he
knelt down on
Chapter 149 Trying to Expose the Mastermind Behind the 2/4
the ground.
“Madam Nelson, Mr. Samuel, Mr. Remington, I didn’t want to do it, but Carlos forced me to. If I didn’t
listen to him, he would expose my theft of antiques. I was afraid, so I had to agree and cooperate with
his plan.
Carlos yelled, “Owen, I’ve been good to you. Why are you slandering me?”
Owen quickly said, “I’m not slandering you. Everything I said was true. I was worried that you would
accuse me after using me, so I secretly recorded our conversation.
Carlos was left dumbfounded.
After listening to Owen’s recording, everyone understood that Carlos had indeed instructed Owen to
set the fire.
Now everything was clear.
The real mastermind behind this was Renee. Carlos was acting on Renee’s orders and became her
accomplice.
“Besides Owen’s testimony, I have another piece of evidence. You can check this USB drive.”
Remington held up a USB drive.
“Do you want to know why Renee asked Peter to put the snake?”
Everyone waited for Remington to explain further. He continued, “That’s because they had an affair
with each other. Before Renee became famous, Peter was her pursuer. He came to work for the
Nelson family as a ser vant just for her.”
After a pause, Remington added, “This USB drive was found in Peter’s room. Renee, there are pictures
of you before you did plastic surgery and evidence of your affair with him. He is your best tool for
manipulation. After things went wrong, you just make him take the blame, right? Do you want me to
show everyone the video of you and Peter’s affair
“No, please don’t!” Renee shouted, already pale with fear.
In order to protect herself, she had to seek help from Samuel. “Samuel, believe me. I have never
cheated on you. That’s all in the past. Please help me!”
Remington stared at them, wondering what Samuel would do..
“Would he choose to protect Renee, or abandon her to protect himself?” wondered Remington.

“Renee, what can I do to help you now? Even if you dislike Remington, you can’t secretly plot against
him. How could you do such a st upid thing?” Samuel snapped.

This statement also made it clear where he stood. He did not defend Renee.
Renee seemed to get a heavy blow and couldn’t say anything, tears streaming down her face.
After learning everything, Samson looked at his mother and asked angrily, “Mom, how could you do
something like that?”
Sabrina couldn’t defend her mother anymore.
“Renee, what do you still want to say?” Remington asked coldly. Renee had nothing to say.
Tears kept running down her cheeks.
At this moment, a group of people walked in from outside. It was the policeman Roger and his team
members.
“The police are here,” someone shouted.
Remington said to everyone, “I invited Captain Shawn here. Today, I will hand over all the evidence to
him and let him handle the case.
The crowd looked toward the door as Roger and his team members. came in and greeted them.
“Greetings, Madam Nelson, Mr. Samuel, Mr. Remington! Here’s the arrest warrant! Based on our
investigation and evidence from multiple reports, it has been determined that Carlos and Renee are
involved in the death of Peter, two premeditated murder cases, and a malicious illegal detention case.
After Roger explained, he ordered his subordinates to handcuff and detain Carlos and Renee.
“Samuel! Help! Please help me!”
Even after being caught, Renee still looked at Samuel with expectant eyes.
She believed that Samuel would not leave her alone.
Samuel turned his face and asked Roger, “Captain Shawn, what do you mean by illegal detention
case?”
“Well, Carlos has imprisoned Maryam in the Nelson family’s small
Chapter 149 Trying to Expose the Mastermind Behind the 4/4
house for 18 years. The nature of the incident is extremely heinous, and we must take action against
him.”
“Maryam, Remington’s aunt, was imprisoned? How could such a thing happen?” Samuel glared at
Carlos in a fury. “Carlos, you’ve really gone too far. You’re simply a serv ant. I can’t believe that you
committed such a depraved act. I trust you so much, but you really let me down.”
“I’m sorry, sir. I made you disappointed.”
Carlos drooped his head, looking remorseful.
In fact, he was ready to confess.
Remington had been coldly watching their seamless performance on the side.
“That’s right! How could a mere ser vant be so incredibly capable? How could he imprison my aunt in
our abandoned building under the noses of so many people and manage to convince everyone that it
was a crazy se rvant inside the small house? He dared to do this just because someone more powerful
is supporting him.”
Samuel’s face showed a hint of surprise as he asked, “Remington, have you found out anything?”
“Are you asking me? Don’t you know better than anyone else? You were the last person who met my
aunt before she disappeared, weren’t you?”
Remington fixed his eyes on his father, trying to see how long Samuel could hide the truth.
