The Workers Learning it

Meanwhile, in Paris, Amelia and Timothy were conducting their usual daily work until a newspaper was handed out by one of the employees.

"Ms. Weiss, Mr. Anderson, you might want to see this," he said.

Amelia and Timothy checked the newspaper that was handed to them and the moment they saw the headlines, their eyes widened in surprise.

"Mr. Nielsen is caught in a scandal by kidnapping the daughter of the British Prime Minister, Penelope Ascart…" Timothy spoke. 

"Further investigation shows that Penelope Ascart was forced to take a new identity as a nurse working for the Axelsen and Nielsen Company. Though there hasn't been any contact with Penelope, it is certain that Poul Nielsen, the founder, was the sole responsible for deceiving the entire population of the British Empire. He is currently being held in London for the crimes he committed," Amelia finished.
