William poured Clarence a glass of water and sat down opposite him. âWhy did Aaron come back with you?â
Clarence crossed his legs and tapped lightly on the sofa with his fingers. âPerhaps you should ask him.â
William turned and looked at the little kid that leaned on the door frame with his head poked out, he quickly hid and closed the door noticing William.
âIf Aaron did something that offended Mr. Conrad, Iâll apologize on behalf of him, he...â He said gently.
âApology is not needed.â Clarence said coldly, âHe went to Stella.â
William was shocked hearing that, he didnât expect that to happen and his face turned serious, sunken into thoughts.
Clarence continued, âKeeping this kid beside is like a bomb, he went to Stella today and could go to Charles tomorrow. Do you think it will be alright if Stella is dragged into this?â
William bit his lips, âDonât worry Mr. Conrad, Iâll make sure that what happened will not repeat.â
âI donât need your promise, I just want to remind you that one minor mistake could cause serious consequences, I guess you understand this more than I do.â
âNoted, Mr. Conrad.â
Clarence rose from his seat but sat down again as he recalled something. âI have a question.â
âPlease ask,â William said.
âYou came back to City N after so long and there should be no friends or families here, but I think you might be familiar with a name.â
William didnât reply, he took a sip of his water, waited for him to continue.
âAre you familiar with the name Jeffrey Radomil?â Clarence continued.
âWho is that?â
Clarence was calm but his smile turned deeper, âHe is nothing but a scammer. Since Mr. William doesn't know him, forget that I mentioned and I guess you wonât be interested in his whereabouts too.â
William, â...â
William spoke suddenly after Clarence took a few steps, âMr. Conrad, please donât hesitate to ask should you need any help from me.â
âI have a business trip to Italy tomorrow; please take good care of my wife.â
Aaron came out from his room after Clarence was gone. He stared at the floor the entire time knowing he did something wrong.
âUncle William, sorry for troubling you,â he said softly.
William knelt to his eye level and stroked his head, âItâs alright, this is not your fault. But Aaron, can you tell me why did you do that?â
Aaron bit his lips enduring his tears and said while sobbing, âI saw online that she and Charles Steward are...â
William knew what he meant despite he didnât finish his line.
Aaronâs father died in the accident that happened at Stewardâs Group. The Steward wanted to kill everyone but William rushed over and saved Aaron and his mother. Unfortunately, his mother involved in a car accident and still in a coma today.
This kid hated Steward Group to the core.
And the Steward used Stellaâs return to the Steward family as a diversion of that incident. Hence, instead of trying to dig deeper into what happened, their attention was diverted into the gossip.
After some time, Aaron sobbed, âI didnât do anything, I just wanted to have a look.â
He found the studioâs contact on Weibo, added Sherry and faked an identity just to meet them today.
William sighed and patted on his shoulder, âI know but impulsive actions will put you in danger, donât do this again.â
Aaron wiped off his tears and nodded. âI got it and I wonât do it again. Uncle William, the pretty lady is a good person, I believe she is not the one that harmed my parents, and all of them that I met today are nice too!â He then clenched his fists and continued, âApart from him!â
It took William a few seconds to realize who he meant by âhim.â
He rose while smiling, âAlright, go to bed now.â
Williamâs face stiffened after seeing Aaron went into his room, he dialed a number, âHave you tracked down Jeffrey Radomil?â
âNot yet, it was hard to track him, Clarence and Charles are looking for him too.â
William walked to the veranda and looked far, âSearch where you bumped into him last time, do a perimeter search and find him soon.â
Jeffrey must have had made a move, otherwise, Clarence wonât mention him out of a sudden.
âYes.â
William stood where he was for a long time after hung up before he dialed another number.
...
On Monday, Stella saw the group of ladies gathered looking at next door excitedly as she entered the studio.
Sherry arrived at the same time and asked while sipping on her soymilk, âWhat are they doing?â
Stella shook her head.
One of the ladies shouted, âOh my god, such a handsome man!!!â
Sherryâs eyes shone and rushed over when she heard there was a handsome man. âWhere is the handsome man?â
She joined the group and looked at the entrance next door but only saw a lineup of people.
There was no handsome man.
âWhere is the handsome man?â Sherry asked.
âSherry, this place is renovated into a piano studio, the boss is a super handsome man, the crowds are here to be his students.â
Sherry looked inside tiptoed, it seemed like he must be a handsome man to have had attracted such a crowd. âI guess itâs time for me to cultivate my music talent, should I register too?â
And the person inside seemed to notice the crowd outside and stood up slowly.
Sherryâs face stiffened when she saw his face, she rushed back into the studio as if she had seen a ghost.
Stella came out from the pantry with a glass of water and asked smiling, âDidnât you go for the eye candy?â
Sherry complained, âDonât mention it, such bad luck.â
Before Stella had the chance to ask further, Daniel appeared at the entrance and greeted them with a smiley face. âHi Ms. Radomil, Sherry.â
