At 7 a.m., Stella got out of the bed.
She didn’t bring too many things here and all the important documents were in the study. Therefore,
she put some other things into her bad and left as usual.
It was still raining outside of the windows. The temperature, which was originally supposed to increase,
dropped due to rain.
When slowly driving out of the Stewards’ Mansion, Stella turned around and took a glance.
This place was originally her house, but now it became the domicile of her foe.
She would come back when everything was over several days later.
She would console the spirits of her parents with the disclosure of the truth.
After a short while, she received a phone call from Clarence.
Stella answered the call, “I’ve left the Stewards’ Mansion.”
Clarence’s mood seemed to be enhanced when he heard the words. He said, “I will come to pick you
up tonight.”
“I see.”
This wretched man was really clingy.
Stella put down her phone and before the smile on her face disappeared, a person suddenly rushed
over from the roadside. Stella hurriedly stepped on the brake.
When the car was stopped steadily, Stella prepared to open the door and get out of the car to see what
was happening. But the door to the passenger seat was suddenly pulled open. At the next moment,
there came a low voice, “Hurry up.”
Stella turned to look at him. Although the man was wearing a peaked cap and half of his face was
covered by the cloth, Stella still recognized him with a single glance.
She pressed her lips tighter and then stepped on the accelerator.
One minute later, several men chased here, but they didn’t find anything.
One of them said, “I will come back to report to Master. You guys shall keep on finding him.”
Ten minutes later, Charles showed up in his study with a trace of ferociousness in his eyes, “Repeat
your words!”
His subordinate lowered his head and repeated, “Not long ago, we found that the person who ran away
before have been following us. It’s our negligence. He found the place where Jeffrey was arrested.
Moreover…”
Charles asked in a cold voice, “What else?”
“When we were chasing after him, we found… we found that he probably had gotten into Ms. Radomil’s
car.”
Charles knitted his brows tightly, “Stella Radomil? Are you sure?”
His subordinate replied, “I checked the surveillance videos before coming here. Only Ms. Radomil
drove out of the Stewards’ Mansion during this period. Moreover, we’ve rummaged the whole area, but
that man seemed to have disappeared into the thin air. So I suspect that he left by taking Ms. Radomil’s
car.”
Charles said in a deep voice after pondering for a while, “Arrange our men to watch Stella and see
whether she has any abnormal behavior or not today.”
“Shall we change the place for arresting Jeffrey?”
“How can we change it? Clarence’s subordinates have been paying great attention to us. Except for
him, some other people…” Charles narrowed his eyes and paused. He then said, “Keep an eye on
Stella first. We will talk about other matters later.”
His subordinate left after receiving the instruction.
…
Stella drove the car for a long distance and then stopped by the roadside. Looking at Adolph’s
abdomen which was bleeding, she said, “You…”
Adolph said, “I found Jeffrey’s whereabouts.”
Stella was stunned. Several seconds later, she said, “I met with Modesty before. She told me that she
had seen you several days ago.”
Adolph nodded his head, “They’ve been hunting for me, so I didn’t come to find you again. Moreover,
after my escape, they changed the place for arresting Jeffrey. I followed them for several days and
finally found out Jeffrey’s whereabouts.”
According to his words, it seemed like Charles went out to see Jeffrey last night.
But Stella didn’t know what they had discussed.
Stella pulled herself back to the reality and fell his gaze onto Adolph’s wound again, “I see. Let me
send you to the hospital first.”
Adolph paused as he was surprised. He then asked, “Aren’t you going to find Jeffrey?”
“I will plan it later. It will be too sudden if we go there now. They have found you, so Charles will
definitely have some precautionary measures. He won’t give him to us easily.
When seeing that Stella was about to start the car, Adolph said, “I can’t go to the hospital.”
Stella was also clear why he couldn’t go to the hospital.
However, before she could say something, Adolph handed a phone to her, “I will get out of the car here.
When you decide to come to find Jeffrey, call me by the number in this phone.”
Before he got off the car, Stella asked, “Have you come to find Modesty recently?”
Adolph replied, “Nope. I won’t come to find her again.”
He paused before continuing, “Thank you for dealing with Eugene’s funeral arrangements.”
Stella chuckled, “You’re also helping me.”
Adolph didn’t reply. He pushed open the door, lowered his cap and then quickly disappeared into the
crowd.
Stella withdrew her lines of sights and started the car again.
When she arrived at her studio, there was still some time for the working time. The door of the piano
studio next to her studio was still closed. But Stella found that the black car, which had been parked on
the opposite road to watch Daniel, had been there.
If she remembered it correctly, this car would be parked there after Daniel came to the piano studio.
So were they keeping an eye on her now?
Stella took out the keys to open the door of the studio and then went to the cashier desk and sort out
the bills of the past several days.
After a short while, the girls and Sherry arrived at the studio one by one. They greeted Stella, “Stella,
good morning.”
Stella looked up with a smile and greeted, “Good morning.”
Sherry walked over while yawning, “Stella, you come here so early today.”
Stella replied, “I felt sleepless. Didn’t Daniel send you here?”
“I don’t know. He called me this morning, telling me that he had to deal with something. So I come here
by myself.”
“Did he tell you what it is?”
Sherry shook her head, “Nope.”
Just as Sherry finished her words, Stella found that the employees of the piano studio also arrived at
the door. It seemed like it would be opened as usual.
Stella said, “Sherry, then I will come back to my office first. If Daniel comes here later, please tell him to
come to find you. I want to ask him several questions.”
“Okay.”
After walking into her office, Stella closed the door and took out the pocket watch from the lowest
drawer. She then took out her phone and found the picture she took last night to compare the two
pocket watches. As expected, they were of the same type.
Stella studied them for a while and then took out the necklace that Phoebe gave her yesterday. She put
the three things together, seeming to be pondering something.
At noon, Sherry rushed into the office, “Oh my god, Stella, have you seen the news?”
Stella, who was drawing design, lifted her head, “Nope. Is there any subsequence of the matter that
Aurora bribed the two judges?”
“It’s not about that.” Sherry put her phone in front of Stella, “Have a look. The police salvaged a man’s
dead body from the river this morning. It seems like he’s Arthur Barnett.”
Stella uncontrollably widened her eyes when she heard the words. She hurriedly took the phone from
Phoebe to take a glance.
There was no photo attached to the news and the news only briefly descried the clues found on the
dead body.
As Arthur was somehow famous, when the news was released, some people quickly found out his
information.
