The report released by the police stated that Arthur died the night before and his dead body was thrown into the lake. If it was not because last nightâs heavy rain, which brought up his body and carried it along the river, they would only find it several days later.
Arthurâs head was hit heavily before and there were many stabbing wounds on his body, deep and shallow. It could be told that this was a revengeful murder.
But they hadnât found out the exact deadly wound When Stella was readying the news, Sherryâs voice sounded from aside. She sighed emotionally, âStella, see, human beings canât do too many evildoings; otherwise, they will suffer the consequences in the end. But after a second thought, I think this is really horrifying. That person called me several days ago, but today he has become a dead body.â
Stella put down her phone. She was suddenly lost for words.
After a short while of silence, Stella suddenly broke the silence, âWhereâs Modesty?â
âI donât know.â Sherry pondered for a while and then continued, âDo you think that heâs killed By Modesty? This is impossible. Arthur is robust, so Modesty is not a match for him, not to mention throwing his dead body into the river. Thereâs no doubt that it requires great strength. I guess the murder is a man who has similar bodily form with Arthur.â
Stella also thought this guess reasonable. If it wasnât that she bumped into Adolph this morning and that he told her he hadnât met with Modesty recently, Stella would still think that Modesty was the most suspicious person when she saw the news.
But according to the current situation, Modesty could by no means kill Arthur and throw away his dead body by herself without Adolphâs help.
Sherry continued, âNow that Arthur has died, why there isnât any progress of the matter of bribing the judges? Theyâre so patient. If I were them, I would have chosen a desperate fighting against Aurora.â
Stella said, âLetâs wait.â
The two judges had too many benefit entanglements with the Barton Group and they were not that impulsive. Even though they wanted to seek revenge on Aurora, they wouldnât allow their benefits to suffer a loss.
As for Aurora, her life was also not that satisfactory recently. Ever since the appearance of her biological mother, her father insisted on let that woman live into the Bartonsâ Mansion regardless of how Aurora cried miserably. And it seemed like he wanted to marry her.
Auroraâs birthday party was a big event and many journalists were invited. Now people in the whole City N had learned about this. Aurora felt it shameful to go out and stayed in the Bartonsâ Mansion all day long, cursing at her mother and throwing things to show her resistance.
The whole Bartonsâ Mansion was in a mess because of Aurora.
After noon, Daniel finally came to the studio lazily with a bunch of red roses in his arms.
The employees of the studio were not surprised when seeing this.
But Sherry still couldnât help but feel awkward. She directly pulled him to the door of Stellaâs office and said, âStella is waiting for you inside.â
Daniel handed the roses to her and raised his brows, âI will come out soon. Tonight I...â
Sherry pushed him into the office, âHurry up. Donât be sluggish.â
Daniel, â...â
When Stella was studying Arthurâs news, she heard a loud voice. When she lifted her head, she saw Daniel being pushed into the office.
Stella curled her lips into a smile, âWhat an extraordinary way.â
Daniel coughed, âSherry told me that youâre looking for me. Whatâs the matter?â
Stella pressed her lips together, âDo you see the car parked outside?â
âI saw it. It has been following me. But not knowing why, when I woke up today, I didnât see it. I thought it has disappeared in my life, but I didnât expect that it comes here in advance and waits for me here.â
It was in this case that he had the chance to deal with a matter.
Stella said, âI guess theyâre here to watch me.â
The smile on Danielâs face immediately disappeared when he heard the words, âWhatâs going on?â
âI told Charles last night that I plan to move out of the Stewardsâ Mansion.â
âWhat did he say?â
Stella replied, âHe denied it and let me wait until the end of the anniversary celebration of the Steward Group.â
Daniel knitted his brows, âHe must have some conspiracies. Donât listen to him. Leave that place right away.â
Stella nodded her head, âOriginally I planned to do so, but...â
She paused and then added, âI bumped into Adolph this morning. He told me that they hide Jeffrey in a place thatâs not far away from the Stewardsâ
Mansion.â
Even though she didnât utter the rest words, Daniel could still guess it.
He asked, âDo you plan to stay there until find out Jeffreyâs exact whereabouts?â
Stella slightly pressed her lips together, âThey have arrested Jeffrey for a long time, so definitely they must have met for more than once. I donât know that Jeffrey has told him, nor do I know what he wants to do by taking advantage of Jeffrey. But I know that he must have a big plan on the anniversary celebration of the Steward Group and Jeffery will be his biggest bargain chip.â
âBut you must be clear that youâre Charlesâ target no matter what he wants to do by taking advantage of Jeffrey.â
âSo I plan to stay there. Maybe I will find out some other clues.â
Daniel asked, âHave you gotten Mr. Conradâs agreement?â
Stella moved her lips trying to something, yet was lost for words.
Clarence was still looking forward to come here to pick her up tonight.
She hadnât figured out how she should tell him about this.
Daniel continued, âSee, you also know that he wonât allow you to do such a dangerous thing. So please drop the idea. Now that youâve found out Jeffreyâs whereabouts, weâll definitely find him.â
Stella asked, âWe?â
Daniel realized that he had had a slip of the tongue. He laughed awkwardly, âI... I... and Mr. Conrad. I believe that he must have been trying to find out Jeffreyâs whereabouts.â
Stella said slowly, âClarence investigates Jeffrey for the sake of me. But seems like itâs unnecessary for you to do so.â
Before Daniel could justify for himself, Stella continued, âEven though weâre friends, itâs abnormal for you to do so. What do you think of it?â

Daniel pondered for several seconds and then sighed silently, âActually this is the case. Emmett wanted to give you a hand, but he was afraid that you may refuse his help and at the same time that Mr. Conrad will be unhappy. So he asked me to take care of you. Then arenât your problems mine?â
Stella smiled, âItâs more unnecessary if itâs because of Emmett. Originally he has helped me a lot before and I feel quite thankful, but I donât know how I can return his favors. I donât want to owe him.â
âEr...â
âNo matter what, I want to thank you for your kindness. I will handle this by myself.â
Daniel felt it inappropriate to say anything else when he heard the words. He could only nod his head. When he walked to the door, he turned around and walked back to Stella, âYouâd better discuss it with Mr. Conrad. I think that he wonât allow you to take the risk.â
After Danielâs leaving, Stella heaved a sigh and looked out of the windows.
It was true that Clarence wouldnât agree to it.
Stella took a glance at the clock and quickly handled the tasks to be finished. She then stood up and walked out of the studio, preparing to go to the Conrad Group.
After driving for several miles, she found that the black car which was parked opposite to her studio was following her.
Her guess was right.
