"Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm," Alexander Summers began, "the person who attempted to take the old master's life must be a swift-moving man. The women may go upstairs to rest first. We have contacted the police, and I believe the matter will soon be brought to light."
Actually, this statement wasn't entirely accurate for who's to say the murderer couldn't be a female assassin?
But since everyone was accompanied by their ladies, and the men understood the value of chivalry, no one voiced any objection. Besides, they were only going upstairs. Given that the estate was now so tightly secured, even if there were a suspect among the women, they would find escape impossible.
Alexander Summers gave Zack Wallace a meaningful glance, who got the hint and led the women upstairs while also instructing the servants to prepare the guest rooms.
