While Adolph was smashing the wardrobe, everyone looked inside nervously.
The space behind the wardrobe was very small. After Adolph walked in, there was not much space left.
Stella stepped forward, “Do you find anything?”
Adolph frowned and shook his head, feeling strange.
Had Jeffrey gone to all that trouble to build a one-person high compartment but did not put anything in
it?
Channing walked in and observed the compartment behind the wardrobe. Then, he reached out his
hand, touched the wall next to him and said slowly, “This wall is different from the others in the room, it
is rough and some parts aren’t even plastered with cement.”
Stella opened her mouth and understood what Channing meant. However, she still could not figure out
what Jeffrey was hiding. To her surprise, he built a wall behind the wardrobe.
Sherry also came over and asked softly, “It’s quite troublesome to break down the wall, right? Shall we
call a professional construction team to come over?”
Adolph looked at the mottled wall and tentatively knocked it with the rod. Immediately, stones fell down.
He said, “This wall is not sealed with cement, it’s not difficult to break it down.”
It could be said that Jeffrey had limited energy and ability to build this wall in the first place and had
simply built it, just to hide his things.
Adolph found the largest gap in the wall and then smashed it very hard. Then, the whole wall collapsed
instantly.
In the corner behind the wall, a rectangular wooden box appeared.
Seeing this, Sherry could not help but said, “He’s really hiding something. Will it be a precious
treasure?”
At the moment she saw the box, Stella was stunned, with a vague sense of bad premonition. She could
not help but grabbed Channing’s arm.
Adolph squatted on the stones. He took out a small knife from the pocket of his trouser and pried the
box.
The moment the wooden box was opened, everyone froze in place.
Sherry felt a chill run through her spine and she almost bit her tongue.
She subconsciously moved backwards, but suddenly bumped into something.
Sherry turned her head and saw Daniel staring ahead with a face that seemed even more grave than
Stella’s and Channing’s.
After a long time, Stella gently closed her eyes and her voice trembled, “Call the police.”
She had always thought that Jeffrey was just a gambling addict and a jerk, but she never thought ...
It was unbelievable that he could do such a thing.
The corners of Channing’s lips were taut, as if he was also trying his best to suppress something.
Sherry fumbled for her mobile phone and was about to call the police. However, Daniel held her hand,
“Wait.”
Sherry was puzzled, “Wait ... for what?”
Daniel looked at Stella, “Ms. Radomil, I want to talk to you for a few minutes.”
Stella came out from her absent-minded state and looked at Adolph, “You go first, I will tell the police
that we found this place unintentionally.”
Adolph nodded. He was shocked too.
No one would expect that Jeffrey, that old bastard who looked immodest and wimpy, would actually
hide a corpse in the wall.
After Adolph left, Stella and Daniel walked to the living room. She said, “What do you want to talk to me
about?”
Daniel said, “Although I know it may be a bit rude and disrespectful to say this, Ms. Radomil should
have seen that the corpse could be your ...”
Stella interrupted him softly, “I know.”
“If we call the police now, once things are revealed, it’s bound to cause an uproar, and it might also give
Lyndon, who’s hiding in the shadows, a chance to take advantage of it.”
Stella frowned, “Then, what do you want?”
“Let’s keep this low-key first, I’ll settle it properly.”
Stella shook her head, “I appreciate your kindness, but this is my mother, there is no reason for you to
settle it.”
Daniel pursed his lips before saying, “Ms. Radomil, at this point, you should know very well that I won’t
harm you.”
Stella looked at him, her expression unchanged, “Yes, I know you won’t harm me, but I’m still curious
why you are so shocked when you saw my mother’s corpse, you’re even more agitated than Chan and
I. Who are you, or rather, what do you want to do?”
“I...”
Daniel was unable to answer her question.
After a while, he closed his eyes and said frankly, “Ms. Radomil, what I can tell you is that Jeffrey is
with us now. We have been trying to find out from him where your mother’s grave is all this time, and
have been tricked into going to many places by him, our wish is just that your mother can rest in
peace.”
Stella said, “In that case, just give me a reason on why shall I hand over her to you?”
Daniel was still unable to answer.
Stella continued, “Chan and I are here, and whether we report to the police or not, from my point of
view, there is no way I can leave this matter to a stranger who has nothing to do with us. I believe you
when you say that Jeffrey is with you and that you have been looking for her grave. However, don’t you
think you shall persuade me but not just flat out asking me to believe you guys every time.”
After a pause, Stella added, “You guys, who are you exactly and what’s your relationship with my
mother?”
At this point, both Sherry and Channing walked over, seemingly waiting for Daniel’s answer too.
After a few minutes, he could not help but laughed, “It’s really not up to me to decide on this matter.”
After a moment of silence, Daniel seemed to compromise, “Just a moment, I’ll make a phone call.”
With that, he went downstairs.
When the door was closed, Stella sat down on the sofa and closed her eyes.
She was thinking about the scene in the wardrobe compartment.
Sherry sat next to her and gently patted her back, “Stella, don’t think too much, we can call the police,
anyway, I think, the best way is to call the police.”
Stella looked aimlessly ahead. She spoke after a long time, “I really can’t imagine that Jeffrey would
actually do this.”
Sherry also cursed, “Yeah, this is so heartless, he’s simply a psychopath, he did hide the corpse in the
wall, and it’s the wall behind his wardrobe, this man is really crazy.”
Channing lowered his head and stood there. He spoke without warning, “I want to go out too.”
When he left, Sherry felt even more scared and moved a little closer to Stella.
Who would have thought that a person who had passed away for twenty years was not buried in the
cemetery and her body was still lying here intact?
For the first time, he found that Jeffrey was such a horrible person.
He could live with a corpse for twenty years.
When she thought about it now, she thought that he was a very horrible person. It was possible for him
to send her biological daughter to Twilight Club.
Indeed, we cannot judge a book by its cover.
It was creepy.
