At Conrads' Mansion.
Justin Conrad was reading in the living room when a subordinate hurried in. "Young Master Justin, I just
knew that Adolph Miller was dead."
He stopped flipping through the book and looked up. "For sure?"
"I've sent someone to investigate. Absolutely true." His subordinate continued, "The police have been
keeping a close watch on him during these days. Our people didn't find an opportunity to kill him, and
today..."
Justin said lightly, "Since we didn't find an opportunity before, why did we go smoothly today?"
His subordinate didn't know how to answer for a moment, "I..."
"Check it again. I want to see his dead body."
The subordinate nodded and left.
Modesty Parker came out of the kitchen with water, squatted beside Justin, handed the water over, and
said softly, "Time for you to take medicine."
Justin didn't take it, but looked down at her and asked, "Do you think he's dead?"
Modesty Parker put down the water, turned around to get the medicine, and said, "He's just a useless
man. How can he be your opponent? Everything is under your control. He naturally..."
Justin suddenly leaned over and grabbed her chin with his pale fingers. He narrowed her eyes and
asked, "Have you gone to find Stella Radomil?"
Hearing this, Modesty Parker's eyes flickered a few times. She moved her lips but could not say
anything.
"Had I warned you not to act rashly without my orders?" Even though Justin's eyes were cold, his voice
was still gentle. "Then, tell me, what did you say to her?"
Feeling the hand on her chin getting heavier, Modesty began to panic from the bottom of her heart and
hurriedly said, "I didn't say anything! She guessed it herself..."
Justin continued slowly, "What?"
"She guessed that I'm yours, and... and it's you who helped me get rid of Arthur Barnett's body..."
"Only these?"
Modesty nodded hard, "That's all! I swear..."
Looking at her frightened face, Justin smiled again. He grabbed her chin and rubbed her head gently.
"Did I scare you?"
Modesty tried her best to control the trembling all over her body. "No... no.
.. I heard from Harris that you have completely been angry with them. I thought I could go and find her...
But please don't worry, I didn't let her see my face. It won't affect your plan..."
"It's not the time to make sure everything goes well. Any small mistakes will lead to a complete loss. Do
you understand?"
Perhaps because of his comfort, Modesty gradually calmed down. She nodded and leaned on her knees
obediently. "It's all my fault. I promise... there won't be a next time."
Justin said, "You can stay here these days and wait until..."
Justin looked out of the window, the smile on his face deepened, and stopped talking.
……
A few days later, the sky cleared out finally.
However, even if the sun hanging high in the air, it could not sweep away the chill that swept through the
whole city.
On the other side of the new studio, the relevant matters related to the fire had been dealt with and
began the renovation.
The agent was probably afraid that Stella would cancel the contract because of the murder. He called
and asked if they should choose a new place, but Stella refused.
Everything would go according to the original plan.
However, there were a few more lines of words on the stone wall outside the new studio.
In order to commemorate and recall the two workers who died in the accident.
In the morning, Sherry went to have a look at the decoration. After communicating with the decoration
team, she returned to the studio. She showed the photos of the progress of the decoration to Stella and
said, "At this speed, it will definitely end before the New Year."
Stella flipped through the photos. Today's great sun made the environment and view of the new studio
especially good, more spacious and brighter.
After reading it, Stella returned the phone to Sherry and said, "Then we could move in after the Spring
Festival."
"I think it should be the right time." Sherry looked around and said, "I used to dislike this narrow place,
but when I thought of moving it over, I was reluctant."
As she spoke, her eyes stopped on the baby’s breath outside and she sighed, "Especially the romance
that carries the personal support of some philanthropist."
Stella also looked out and seemed to think of something. She smiled.
A few seconds later, she turned to look at Sherry. "You're moving today, right?"
Although she said that she was moving, in fact, she only brought a suitcase with her to the Steward
family.
That's all.
She still had to move from the apartment she rented.
Sherry tugged at her hand, feeling a little reluctant to part with her, "I just realized my wish to live next
door with you. How about..."
Stella smiled and said, " I will not go back there. When I bring Noah back from Riverside City, I will go
back to Starry Lake Mansion and live there. At that time, you can come over and stay there for a long
time."
Sherry curled her lips. "You don't want me to live long but to sleep forever. I really want to live there. But
Clarence won't agree."
"How can it be so exaggerated? Didn't you see it too? He is actually good, only a bit mean occasionally."
Sherry patted her on the shoulder. "I envy you who has been blinded by love."
Stella smiled grumpily and pushed her. She looked at the person standing outside the door and said,
"Well, you'd better go quickly. He had been waiting for you for a long time."
Sherry turned around, she saw Daniel standing at the door, raising his eyebrows at her.
After leaving the studio, Sherry said, "I need to go back to the Steward family first, I..."
Daniel opened the trunk and said, "I've already brought all your things out."
Sherry was a bit confused.
His action was really quick.
Daniel closed the trunk again, opened the passenger door, and stuffed her in, "Now I'll go to the
apartment with you and pack up the rest."
Before Sherry could say anything, he had already closed the door and walked to the driver's seat.
On the way back to the apartment, the sun had been shining brightly, making them unable to open their
eyes.
Sherry rolled down the window and closed her eyes to enjoy the rare sunshine.
However, before she could enjoy a minute, Daniel closed the car window suddenly.
Sherry turned to look at him.
Daniel drove the car, and said seriously, "It's windy outside. You'll have a headache if you blow it for a
long time."
Sherry smacked her lips. It was indeed quite cold.
"Forget it. I can bask in the sun."
She leaned over and opened the door of the car. Soon, the whole car was filled in rhythmic music.
Daniel saw her swaying along with the music. She was in a good mood.
The sun shone brightly on her face. lightnoveldaily.com
