Chapter 4401
Jarvis paid close attention to everyone in the room as he announced, "To ensure everyone's safety, I would like to request everyone to hand me your personal belongings. We are going to perform a safety check for safety reasons." Christian asked, "What do we need to turn in?"
"Everything." Jarvis stopped beating around the bush and cut to the case. He added with a serious look, "Please turn in all your personal belongings. For the men, please stand to the left. For the ladies, please stand to the right. Open your hands and put them on your chest. We will arrange for someone of the same gender to search you."
Keith frowned upon hearing that. "Sir, are you suspecting that this is an insider job? That the mole is among us?"
Jarvis put his hand together and replied sternly, "Sir, I'm acting under orders.
Everyone, please cooperate. Please forgive me if I have offended you."
Kaeden was annoyed. Disgruntled, he grumbled, "Sir, you're suspecting us for no reason and demanded a search out of the blue. Isn't this too much? Don't forget! We're the victims here! You're not the police, either. Who gave you the right to search us?!" Kaeden had a strong personality and was more aggressive than everyone else. As the Acker family's heir, Jarvis's tough attitude gave Kaeden discomfort.
However, Jarvis's attitude towards him did not soften. Instead, Jarvis warned coldly,' Sorry, but the one who saved your life early gave me the right to do so. He has ordered everyone's full cooperation. No one can refuse!"
Hearing that it was their savior's order, Kaeden's displeasure faded at once. The scene earlier was still overwhelming for him.
He saw with his own eyes when the assailant stood at the door and had his limbs broken by some invisible weapon The incident had a great impact on him, giving him the shock of his life.
When Jarvis mentioned that it was their savior's request, Kaeden stopped resisting immediately. His tone grew apologetic as he said, "We'll cooperate fully with our savior's order."
To show his sincerity, he was the
first to remove all personal
belongings. There was a coffee table
in between the two rows of sofas He placed his phone, watch, and other items on the coffee table. Then, he stood to the left, opened both his arms, and placed his hands
in front of his chest.
Keith quickly followed after him. While he took out his personal belongings, he ordered the rest, "Our savior must have his reason. Don't question him and just give your full cooperation!" Therefore, everyone began to empty their pockets and turn in their belongings.
Jarvis followed Charlie's order well. He paid attention to the group, ensuring that they weren't doing anything strange under his watch.
Based on Charlie's assumption, if the shielding device had been brought in by a member of the Acker family, then said member wouldn't have had the opportunity to dispose of the device. He would probably quietly keep it on him and dispose of it at a suitable time. noveldrama
If they look hard enough, they might find the shielding device. It would be better if they could find the device directly from someone who carried it. With that, they could instantly identify the suspicious target. Jarvis saw that everyone had taken out their belongings and stepped to the side. There was one exception, and that was one woman who had kept her head down the entire time and never moved an inch.
The young girl next to the woman was around sixteen or seventeen years old. She quickly shook her mother's arm and whispered urgently, "Mom, you're the only one left. Hurry up!"
Jarvis snapped, "Madam, please cooperate and take out your personal belongings."
This woman was Charlie's third aunt-inlaw and Jaxson's wife, Adrienne. The girl next to her was Jaxson and Adrienne's eldest daughter, Anya Acker. Anya had recently turned sixteen years old this year. At that moment, Jarvis frowned as something unusual caught his eye.
Anya continued shaking Adrienne's arm, but Adrienne suddenly went limp before falling on the sofa. Her face was white, and white foam

formed on the corner of her mouth. Her eyes widened, and her body stiffened. At last, she stopped breathing and died right there and then.
