In the Steward Group…
Although Donald had been helping Stella deal with the contracts in the past few days, many
documents, which required Stella’s signature, were accumulated.
Several minutes after Stella sat into the chair, Samuel walked over hurriedly, “Ms. Radomil, I got a
piece of news just now. Logan was bailed out.”
Stella paused when she heard the words, “Bail? Isn’t he convicted of murder? Why can he be bailed
out?”
Samuel replied, “It’s true that he was convicted as there was irrefutable evidence. However, two days
ago, Mr. Bernard went to the police station to visit Logan and then Logan was bailed out as the police
said the evidence was insufficient and they needed further investigation short after Mr. Bernard left the
police station.”
Stella knitted her brows tightly, “When did Armand visit him?”
“On… On the day when the Conrad Group held a news conference.”
Stella slightly pressed her lips together and remained silent.
As for Logan’s case, they already had irrefutable evidence, yet Armand still bailed him out by
fabricating the fact and saying that the evidence was insufficient regardless of the pressure from the
society.
According to their relationship before Logan killed Amanda, Armand would not take such a great risk
for Logan since he himself was also in a fix now.
So it was likely that Logan had told Armand something when Armand visited him.
And the thing Logan told Armand was so beneficial to him that Armand was willing to take the risk.
Samuel continued, “Logan was bailed out last night and he’s still under the police’s surveillance
cameras so far. He has been staying at home after leaving the police station and hasn’t gone out. Nor
has he met up with Mr. Bernard. At present, he hasn’t had any weird behavior.”
Stella spoke after a while of silence, “Armand created so many troubles because he’s so anxious to
leave the city and get rid of the suspicion. But he’s different from Logan. He didn’t kill anyone and his
case is still under investigation. Therefore, he would not escape from the city at the risk of becoming a
wanted person unless he is cornered. But Logan…”
“Ms. Radomil, do you mean that Logan may leave the city secretly?”
“Nope, he would definitely escape.”
It was a truth that Logan had killed Amanda. Although he had been bailed out by Armand, he knew
deep down that the police would put him in jail sooner or later. Therefore, he would try to escape as
soon as possible.
Stella paused and then asked, “Have you seen Logan’s children?”
Samuel nodded his head, “I’ve seen both of them.”
“Come to his home on behalf of the company. Ask him for an explanation for this accident and tell him
about the company’s decision. Check whether his children are at home or not and then tell me about it
at once.”
“Okay.”
Even after Samuel left the office, Stella still knitted her brows tightly.
She wondered what route Logan would choose if he wanted to escape from the supervision of various
parties.
When she was in meditation, Donald walked into the office and waved his hand in front of her eyes,
“What expression is it? What’s in your mind?”
Stella pulled herself together and replied, “Armand has bailed out Logan.”
Donald was not surprised when hearing it and simply commented casually, “He’s somehow capable.”
“I think they must have had a transaction, but I can’t figure out what it was. What would worth Armand
to take the risk at this sensible point?”
“Oh, by the way, you may know about this thing. Except for the Conrads, I think there must be
someone else who’s backing up Logan.”
Stella was a bit stunned, “Someone else?”
Donald nodded his head, “Logan was taken away by them when the accident happened. Moreover,
Logan had been trying to approach Amanda for half a year before that accident. He hadn’t had any
abnormal behavior during that period and we didn’t find out any evidence to prove that he had
contacted the Conrads during that period. Moreover, he shook off the men following behind him two
times and went to the Conrads Mansion.”
Stella’s knitted her brows more tightly, “I also investigated him before and I didn’t find any dubious
thing?”
Donald snapped his finger, “This is where the problem lies. His original life trace is not dubious, but no
long ago, some people contacted her. Moreover, they sold the news to the Conrads. This means that
the bargaining chin Logan has is probably his backer.”
“Those people are…”
“I haven’t made clear of it yet. But I’m sure that the one who could get this information must have a
sophisticated background and I think he comes with full preparations. You shall not get yourself
involved for the sake of your safety.”
Stella asked after a while of silence, “Did Clarence ask me to tell me this?”
Although Donald didn’t mention Clarence and his words were so obscure, the truth was very apparent.
Donald was rendered speechless.
How could she find this?
Stella said, “Give me an account.”
Donald was bewildered, “Why do you ask for it?”
“You’re now working for the Steward Group. Don’t you want any salary?”
Donald chuckled awkwardly, “You’re just quarrelling. Do you have to…”
It was Clarence who had been paying his salaries. Was Stella trying to make a clear boundary with
Clarence?
“Send me your account number later.”
Seeing this, Donald was instantly cheered up, “Do you want to suit for divorce? I can help you freely.”
Stella lifted her head and looked at him expressionlessly, “No thanks. I’m not married.”
“What about to suit for custody? I’m also expert at this. I can promise you will win the suit.”
Stella was rendered speechless.
But when she raised her hand, Donald immediately dodged away, “I was just joking.”
Stella ignored him. She lowered her head and continued to deal with the documents in front of her.
After a short while, she received a call from Samuel, who told her that the two children’s grandma had
taken them back to their hometown before Logan left the police station.
Samuel reported, “I’ve sent my men to check come to Logan’s hometown to check the authenticity of
the information. Moreover, I found all the things in his home were placed neatly and it seemed like no
one had touched them. Although he tried hard to disguise himself with composure, I could still sense
that he wanted me to leave as soon as possible. Ms. Radomil, I think your guess is right – he will leave
City N soon.”
Stella said, “He will leave tonight at latest.”
When the call was ended, Donald asked, “What do you think of it?”
Stella fixed her eyes on the phone, seeming to be pondering something, “What do you mean?”
Donald raised his brows, “I think you will insist on doing everything that Clarence asks you not to
involve. So I want to know what you plan is for this matter.”
Stella looked up at him, “Do you plan to tell him soon after I tell you my plan?”
Donald replied in an exaggerated manner, “How can it be possible? I’m an adult. How would I disclose
it to him like an elementary school student who reports his classmate’s mistake to his teacher? It’s just
that I’m so curious about it. Can you please tell me?”
Stella lowered her head again, “I don’t have any ideas. Nor do I plan to do anything.”
Judging from Donald’s expression, apparently he was not convinced. But based on Stella’s behavior, it
was obvious that she wouldn’t tell him anything.
Alas, he could only bear this hard work and keep an eye on her.
When this matter was solved, he must ask Clarence to increase his salary
thereafter!
