They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 579: Logic Wrapped in Loyalty

Murmurs rippled around the table at the number, but he raised his hand, continuing.

"The first person on the list is the private secretary." His gaze darkened. "The night His Highness fell sick, he was

the very last person to visit him. After that, no one else entered the room. And by the next morning..."

Christopher paused, letting the weight of it sink in. "...His Highness discovered clear signs of poisoning."

The room erupted in whispers, a few officers leaning forward in agreement. The private secretary was indeed the

last confirmed visitor, it was hard to ignore.

"The second," Christopher pressed on, "is the Head Chef. He administers His Highness's food and water

personally. Every dish, every drink, passes through him, and only him. If anyone had the best chance to poison

His Highness, it would be him."

He tapped a small control on the projector. A grainy video played across the screen at the front of the room: the

chef serving food with his own hands.

The officers leaned in closer. Tension thickened in the air, sexchanging uneasy looks.

"That's worth taking note of," someone murmured, and several others nodded in agreement.

But Nnenna’s voice cut through the room, calm and firm.

"He can’t be the only suspect if food is considered the source of the poison."

Heads turned toward her. Christopher shot her a sharp glance, lips tightening. What does she know about

investigations? He reminded himself of the plan: ignore her, let her talk herself into silence.

"The next on my lis—"

"What do you think, Your Highness?" Rick’s voice rang out, slicing across Christopher’s sentence. His tone was

curious, almost protective. He wanted to hear what Nnenna had in mind.

"Rick," Christopher snapped, his patience thinning, "I'm making my presentation. You're out of line to interru—"

"If she has something to say, then let her say it," Rick interrupted again, his gaze steady.

Christopher's grip tightened on his phone, knuckles whitening. His eyes darted to Daniel for backup, but instead

of the expected reprimand, Daniel leaned back casually, lips curling in faint amusement.

"Why do you say so?" Daniel asked Nnenna, voice cool but deliberately inviting. He was one hundred percent

certain she would embarrass herself if given the stage. Why not let her? His smirk widened. "Why do you say

so?" he pressed again.

Nnenna caught the smugness in his expression but didn’t flinch. She lifted her chin and spoke clearly.

"The Head Chef isn’t the only one who serves His Highness. Since | chere, I've seen the nanny bring him

meals too. The Head Chef cooks, yes, but he doesn’t always serve."

The room shifted with murmurs, several officers exchanging uneasy glances. Christopher's jaw tightened. Rick

leaned back, satisfied. Daniel's smirk faltered just slightly.

"Shouldn't we be suspecting the nanny as well?" Nnenna asked, turning her gaze on Christopher as if daring him

to admit it. "Please tellshe’s on that list of yours."

Christopher froze for a second, caught off guard. The nanny? His mind blanked. Is this girl trying to go too far?

Nnenna noticed the way several faces in the room darkened instantly, but she pressed on anyway.

"If she isn’t already there, then she should be. We shouldn't leave her out of the suspect list just because of

sentiment."

"She's innocent," Daniel cut her off sharply.

"No one is innocent until proven otherwise," Nnenna shot back without hesitation. Her voice carried a quiet

weight. "Isn't that part of the reason you all don’t trust me? Because I'm new? So why should she be above

suspicion?"

Daniel's eyes narrowed. After a long pause, he replied flatly, "The nanny is different."

"No one’s above suspicion," Nnenna countered, unflinching.

"I think we've heard enough!" Elin’s voice cracked like a whip across the room, cold and furious. Her glare pinned

Nnenna in place. "I can tolerate your arrogance. | can tolerate your childish barbs. But I will not, ever, tolerate

you insulting the nanny!"

The temperature in the room spiked as Elin stood abruptly, her voice rising with raw emotion.

"That woman has given her entire life to His Highness. She doesn’t even know her own children because she has

spent every waking moment caring for him! She’s like a mother to all of us, and you dare throw dirt on her

name?!"

Elin’s fury echoed in the silence that followed. The room felt heavy, split between Nnenna’s cold reasoning and

Elin’s fiery defense.

It wasn’t just Elin, everyone looked offended. Even Rick shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

Nnenna pursed her lips, her confidence wobbling for the first time. Did | misstep?

"Fine," she said at last, her voice clipped. "Then provewrong."

"My word is enou—" Elin began hotly.

"With logic," Nnenna cut her off before she could finish, her eyes sharp. "Not emotions."

Elin froze for a beat, then lifted her chin and forced her voice steady.

"Fine. Before His Highness fell sick,

the head chef served his meal

"And more than that," Elin continued,

Her words struck the room hard, logic wrapped in loyalty.
