Chapter 442
He had heard from others that Stephen was useless, and today, he confirmed it. Stephen truly was useless. The evidence was right there, but he still could not find it.
Fabian sighed helplessly. “In that case, we have no choice but to find it ourselves. I’ll contact you tonight.”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes, suspecting that this might all be a setup. There was no order sheet at Nolan’s house at all. Fabian fabricated the story and would plant a fake order form later to frame Nolan.
At the same time, Nolan stood at the door and watched Stephen’s car leave.
“They didn’t find the order this time, but the South Regent won’t give up. I should set up a trap.‘
At that thought, Nolan took out his phone and made a call in the living room. He said loudly, ” I’ll be going out in the evening and will only be back tomorrow.”
Fabian soon received news that Nolan would be away tonight. It was the perfect opportunity! At night, he contacted Jeremy. “Let’s head over to Nolan’s house and find the order sheet.”
Hearing that, Jeremy felt that his suspicions were correct. Fabian did intend to frame Nolan. Instead of exposing him immediately, Jeremy decided to play along and record the moment Fabian planted the evidence so he could use it against the South Regent later.
The two headed to Nolan’s house together. When they neared the villa, several people approached. They were Fabian’s accomplices.
“The ropes for climbing the walls are ready. You can climb right in. We also made a duplicate key for the door, and here are some flashlights. We’ll keep watch outside the villa. If anything happens, we’ll notify you immediately so you can get away!”
Jeremy was stunned. He did not expect Fabian to be so well prepared.
They climbed the ropes and successfully got into Nolan’s courtyard. Then, they used the key to open the door. Jeremy and Nolan snuck into the villa.
The inside was completely dark, so they turned on their flashlights.
Fabian said, “Let’s split up and search.”
Jeremy was wary. Split up? That would give Fabian the chance to plant fake evidence.
“I think we should stick together.” Jeremy refused the suggestion.
“Alright,” Fabian said. “We’ll be more thorough if we search together.”
The two searched for half an hour but found nothing.
Jeremy asked, “Does the order really exist?”

“The intel is solid. It’s in this house.” Fabian was very sure because the information came from professionals. They had even managed to infiltrate the Grand Marshal’s ranks to gather intelligence back when Riveria was still in turmoil.
The two searched for another half an hour but still did not find anything.
Fabian muttered, “He sure knows how to hide things well.”
Jeremy was already certain that there was no order at all. They could not find anything because Fabian could not find a chance to plant it.
However, he overlooked something. If they really intended to frame Nolan, the accomplices outside who could climb walls and open the doors would have already planted the evidence. There was no need for Fabian to do it himself.
The two searched the whole house but still found nothing. Fabian sat in the chair in the study and took out his phone to call his accomplices.
“Where is it? We’ve searched the whole villa but still can’t find it.”
Jeremy stood by the side and silently turned on his recording pen, then pretended to pick up a book and flip through it. It was a novel, and a line he saw read, “When you feel like crying, stand on your head. That way, the tears can’t fall
Jeremy closed the book and silently put it back.
“What? There’s a secret room in the study?” The accomplice’s information was shocking, and Fabian quickly asked, “Where is it? How do we get in?”
