Prev Chapter Next Chapter

In the Conrad Group…

Nathan quickly approached Clarence after Clarence got out of the meeting room, “Mr. Conrad,

something happened.”

Clarence stopped and became nervous, “Stella?”

“Yes, and no.”

Clarence looked at Nathan expressionless, “Next time, complete your sentence first.”

Nathan continued, “Mrs. Conrad went back to Jeffrey’s house with Channing. Then, they found out…”

Clarence tried to be patient, “Are you going to finish your sentence or not?”

Nathan didn’t mean to act in such a manner. He had been working with Clarence for over thirty years,

and he had seen so much, but what happened in Jeffrey’s house was so uncommon. It was

overwhelming, and it could send a chill down Nathan’s spine.

Nathan said softly, “Mr. Conrad, Mrs. Conrad’s mother was found.”

“Where did they found her?”

“In…Jeffrey’s house.”

Clarence was shocked. He tilted his head and asked, “Are you sure?”

Nathan nodded, “The news came from them. I think Daniel was also there. The news is almost certain.”

Clarence paused and narrowed his eyes. He changed direction and said coldly, “Postpone all my

schedule. I have some other thing to attend to.”

Nathan followed behind, “Sure.”

Then, Nathan quickly took his phone out and did as Clarence asked.

After Clarence got into the car, he asked, “So, how are they?”

“Mr. Conrad, are you asking about William or Mrs. Conrad?”

“Both.”

“Based on what I know, Mrs. Conrad hasn’t gone to the police yet. Daniel probably stopped her. After

all, it could become a piece of hot news once they inform the police. It’s not going to be a good thing for

either of them. It could be even more troublesome if Lyndon finds out.”

Nathan continued, “As for William, they must know about it already since Daniel was there. We’re just

couldn’t sure about what they’re going to do with the new. Mr. Conrad, do you want me to go and find

out?”

Clarence pouted. He replied after a while, “No need. We’ll know about it soon.”

It had been a while since Daniel went to make a call.

Not only Daniel, Channing too never returned.

Stella sat on the couch and stared at the window with her empty-looking eyes. She was deep in

thoughts.

After a long while, the sound of footsteps finally came from the entrance.

Sherry quickly stood up. She found out that it was Clarence when she was to say something.

Well, at least they weren’t so freaked out now.

Sherry got out of the place after she saw Clarence’s arrival. She gave an excuse saying that she

wanted to look for Daniel.

Clarence sat beside Stella and hugged her around her shoulder. He said softly, “It’s going to be fine.”

Stella returned from the zoned-out status and stared at Clarence. Then she remembered, “Why are you

here? I thought you have things to do today?”

“Nothing is more important than you.”

Stella grasped Clarence’s shirt subconsciously and muttered, “I didn’t expect this could be it…”

Clarence hugged Stella tightly. He didn’t know what to say to Stella.

Stella and Channing had been staying in this house for almost twenty years. So many days and nights

they had spent here, and they never knew there were human remains in the wall.

And the human remains belonged to their mother.

Clarence patted Stella’s back and silently consoled her.

After a long while, the sound of footsteps rose from the entrance again.

It was loud and messy.

Stella raised her head from Clarence’s arms. She saw a man got thrown into the house.

Stella looked clearly, and she realized it was Jeffrey.

It seemed like Jeffrey was used to being treated like this. He got up from the floor and swiped away the

dust on his shirt. When Jeffrey saw the wardrobe and wall in the room was demolished, he freaked out.

He ran to the demolished wall and shouted in anger, “Who did this? Who gave you the permission to

demolish my house? I’ll call the police and get you all arrested!”

Channing walked into the house from outside and said coldly, “I did it.”

Jeffrey ran towards Channing and grasped his collar. He scolded with the dirtiest words he knew, “You

bastard! I should have drowned you in my pee when you were born. My effort in raising you was

wasted. You ungrateful bastard.”

Jeffrey got pulled away from Channing before he finished scolding Channing. However, he never

stopped using dirty words on Channing even after he got pulled away.

Stella walked over and looked at Jeffrey calmly, “You want to call the police? Great. Go ahead. I’m

interested in finding out how many years they’re going to lock you up for hiding a body in the wall.”

Jeffrey spat and continued shouting, “What do you know? She’s mine, and I have the right to bury her

wherever I want. What law did I break now? I…”

Before Jeffrey finished his sentence, he saw Clarence stood beside Stella. Jeffrey suddenly felt less

dominating. There was nothing he should care about now since they’ve found out everything.

Jeffrey continued, “People got buried in the earth once they’re dead. Why can’t I bury her here instead?

It’s my house, and it’s my own place. Why can’t I do that?”

Stella didn’t have high hopes of getting the truth from Jeffrey. She suddenly felt strengthless, and the

world was spinning so fast in front of her. Stella reached out her hand to Clarence. She wanted to say

something, but she realized she couldn’t make any sound.

Before Stella passed out, she felt like she fell into a pair of warm and strong arms.

Many people were calling her name, but she couldn’t really hear it.

Everything was dark.

In the hospital.

Nathan looked at the person lying in the hospital bed and whispered, “Mr. Conrad, the police had left.”

“What about the body?”

“It was sent to the forensic team. They’ll allow us to make arrangements for her funeral once they’ve

confirmed her cause of death.”

Clarence said softly, “And he didn’t show up?”

Nathan shook his head, “No.”

“Alright. You can leave now.”

Clarence then only have time to look at Stella after Nathan left. He held Stella’s hand.

It was like Stella could feel Clarence’s existence. Stella’s eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened

her eyes.

Stella was confused as she looked at the surrounding. She took some time to figure out where she

was, “I’m in the hospital?”

“Yes. You fainted. How are you feeling now?”

Stella got up from the bed, “I’m still feeling woozy. Where’s Channing?”

“He went to the police station.”

Stella was stunned, “Did anybody went with him?”

Clarence replied, “Daniel and Sherry both went with him.”

Stella took a breath of relief, “Great.”

“You shouldn’t be worrying about him. It’s you who got into the hospital.”

“I’m worried that he couldn’t take it so well for what happened.”

Clarence asked coldly, “And you’re taking it well?”

Clarence glanced around the ward and continued coldly, “Like this?”
