Chapter 586

The corner of Keith's mouth twitched.

"I didn't touch her." Stan sat up. "I love my wife very much and will never do anything to betray her."

After a pause, he continued, "Ms. Grant merely informed me to take her to the designated hotel."

Theo's gaze grew even colder after hearing what he said. If a person’s gaze could kill, then Stan

would have died countless times by now. "Go on."

"A man was waiting in the room but I don’t know who he was. He had his back facing me the whole

time so I couldn't see his face. I placed Mrs. Grant on the bed and left. I don't know what happened

after that."

Did that mean that he did not know who touched me either?

I felt sick in the stomach, and there was a suffocating feeling in my chest. Even breathing had

become laborious.

When Stan saw Theo's gloomy face and how he did not say a word, he began to panic. "I told you

everything I know and have not kept anything from you. Had it not been for Ms. Grant’s promise of

half a million dollars and sending my family abroad, I would never have helped her do such an

inhumane thing

even if it's for the sake of the child in my wife's belly. Please, Mr. Grant, you can do anything you

want with me if you're angry, but can you not touch my family?"

Theo continued to stay silent. Keith came back with a bag, and after the bodyguards moved a table

in front o f me, he took out the food from the bag one by one and placed them on the table.

I stared dumbfoundedly at him.

Where did he get all these snacks in the middle of the night?

"I brought her here," a bodyguard said, walking up behind Theo.

Stan widened his eyes, anger filling his face. "You're a despicable man, Theo! I told you not to touch

my family!"

Having said that, he struggled to get up from the ground.

Keith walked over to press him down again. “Sit still."

The sound of high heels was heard behind me. When I turned my head and saw Quinn, my

expression sank.

She was wearing a long dress and a tweed jacket. Her high heels were incredibly clean. She looked

both mature and elegant.

For an elegant and noblewoman like her to be brought forcibly over by bodyguards, I could imagine

how displeased she must be feeling about it. Sure enough, I could see anger written all over her

face.

When Quinn saw Theo and me, her face paled instantly. "What’s the meaning of this, Theo?"

Theo looked at her with cold eyes. "What do you think?"

When she saw Stan lying on the floor, she recognized him by his clothes and body shape. Her legs

went weak as she nearly fell to the ground.

Theo took a deep breath and looked at Stan. "Why don’t you repeat to Ms. Grant what you told me

just now?"

Seeing that the comer was not his family, Stan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was not as

agitated anymore. After Keith released him, he said," Half a month ago, Ms. Grant invited me to her

house to do something for her. She promised to pay me half a million and send my family abroad.

I'm not someone who would easily agree to such favors, but my wife’s parents had listed out

conditions for me when I married her back then. I'm supposed to buy a house of my own before my

child is born, or they'll take my wife and child back. My child will take on their family name instead."

After a pause, he continued, "I didn't come from a well-off family and Whaldorf City's property prices

are getting higher every year. Even if I earn a lot of money in Zimmer Corporations, I still can't afford

to buy a house in Whaldorf City, so I agreed.”
