Conrad’s Mansion
As soon as Justin came out of Dempsey Conrad’s room, a man hurried over and said, “Young Master
Justin, something has happened.”
Despite the man told Justin the news in a lower voice, the look on his face did not change. He just
turned his wheelchair forward and asked lightly, “Why would Clarence suddenly go to her?”
The man looked at the room behind him and said, “Master Conrad’s men have come to the Mansion
today.”
Hearing this, Justin smiled, “I see.”
He never prevented Dempsey’s men from going to Clarence.
On the contrary, he encouraged them.
In the living room, Amanda was wandering around.
Seeing Justin coming over, she said, “I didn’t expect you to have a hobby of collecting antiques.”
He smiled gently and said, “You can have some if you like.”
Amanda, obviously not expecting this answer, raised her eyebrows slightly with interest.
She sat on the couch and said, “I know you didn’t want us to come here, but I was helpless this time.
The places I usually go to have been exposed, so I had to come to you.”
The gentle smile on his face did not fade. He asked a servant to serve her a cup of tea. “As you can
see, I am just a cripple and cannot help you much.”
“I just need you to help me get out of City N. I’m sure you’ll find a way. No one can do anything to me
when I get out of here.”
“Have you managed to do everything you want?"
There was a trace of hatred showing on Amanda’s face, “As long as he is alive, this is not over.”
“You had plenty of chances to kill him.” Justin said.
“But by killing him, wouldn’t it be a gain for him?” Amanda said, laughing again, “I learned that from
you. There’s nothing more enjoyable than to leave the person you hate the most to torture, to let him
wander on the edge of death, and to make him neither live nor die.”
Justin just smiled and did not answer.
Amanda obviously didn’t come here to discuss with him how to torture the enemy. So, she asked
directly, “When can I leave here?”
Justin said, “No hurry. Judging from the accident today, the situation is pretty serious now.”
Amanda was about to say something when Justin added, “Since you already know that my place is the
safest and this is your only choice for now, you shouldn’t doubt your safety here.”
That’s true.
“I see.”
As soon as Amanda finished speaking, a guy hurried in and said, “Young Master Justin, Young Master
Clarence is back...”
Amanda was startled, before she could speak, Justin said, “Harris, take her upstairs.”
The man waiting by his side answered, “Yes.”
The moment Amanda was taken upstairs, Clarence appeared in the living room.
Justin looked at him and asked with a smile, “Clarence, what’s brought you back today?”
Clarence looked around, sat on the opposite side and replied, “Nothing, just passing by.”
“I see.” Justin moved his wheelchair to the coffee table and offered him tea, “Here.”
Clarence looked at the teacup on the coffee table and said, “You had a visitor?”
Justin looked to the side and soke slowly, “Yes, but he didn’t stay.”
“What was so urgent that made him leave before finishing the tea?”
Justin smiled, “We were just talking about something in the company which are not so important.
Maybe he felt it’s too uncomfortable to stay here.”
Clarence’s expression remained unchanged and did not answer.
Justin asked, “How are you and Stella recently?”
“Good.”
“I heard that her studio has hired Winnie Truman to be the brand ambassador. After the advertisement
is released, her brand will definitely get better and better. She’s a talented designer and I’m truly happy
for her that her talent is finally being recognized.”
Clarence’s lips twitched, and his smile was a little cold. He said, “You always have better judgement on
these things than me.”
“You’re too close to the subject, and fresh eyes never hurts. You had been prejudiced against her
before.” Justin sighed.
Clarence said, “It’s not that I had a prejudice against her, but that everyone in the Conrad family looked
down on her, except you.”
“I just believed what I saw.”
“In Stella’s mind, you are the only good person in the Conrad family, and the only one who treats her
sincerely.” Clarence spoke in a flat tone. “Even though Joanna Perez hurt her many times and even
almost killed her by causing her miscarriage, she never blamed you once for any of these.”
When Justin heard this, he still kept the smile on his face. He said, “Stella is a very kind girl.
Fortunately, you two finally got together.”
Clarence said, “So many things happened after Joanna Perez’s death, but she never, ever doubted
that you might be involved.”
“Clarence, I don’t quite understand what you're implying.” Justin's hand which were holding the teapot
paused for a second, “Do you think those things have something to do with me?”
Clarence said indifferently, “People from the Conrad family came to me today which you should have
known.”
Justin pretended to be surprised and asked, “Is it true? I...I didn’t know before.”
After a pause, he said, “It should be father who wants to see you. Go upstairs and see him.”
Clarence asked, “Do I need to see him?”
Justin said, “He is now paralyzed in bed, except for a pair of eyes that can move, he can’t even speak.
Although I don’t know what his men said when they came to you, but...”
And he said with his lips curled up, “Perhaps seeing him yourself will get you reassured.”
“I didn’t come here to see him. Whether he is alive or dead, it has nothing to do with me. It doesn’t
matter whether I believe it or not what he said.”
“Then you came here for...” Justin sighed silently.
Clarence said directly, “Give me the person.”
At this time, Harris came down from the second floor and said, “Young Master, a woman just jumped in
from the window and tried to attack Master Conrad. I have already dealt with her.”
Justin looked at Clarence and said slowly, “Do you mean... this person?”
Just as he was talking, Amanda’s body was carried downstairs.
When Clarence saw this scene, he suddenly smiled.
Justin said to Harris, “Check the neighborhood for anyone suspicious, in case that she has
accomplice.”
Harris nodded and left.
Justin looked at Amanda’s body and heaved a sigh, “Although I don’t know what you want to do with
her, but since you came here yourself, it seems that she should be very important to you and you could
take her away.”
"No need."
He withdrew his gaze and muttered, “There are too many dead people in this room, which could cause
you bad luck. You should find a new place.”
Then he left without looking back.
