Chapter 481: Chapter 481

Clarence put his focus on Lyndon all these times.

But details about what happened 20 years ago were slowly resurfacing and there were many doubtful points about that explosion.

Stella’s mother managed to escape, and Lyndon was unconscious in the hospital for 3 months. She could’ve gone to Cameron or go to someone else she knew, but she didn’t. She brought her daughter with her and married a rascal.

Maybe Jeffrey wasn’t a rascal back then, but Stella’s mother’s decision was bizarre.

Unless she was afraid of getting discovered, or maybe, she couldn’t help it...

No matter what happened, this wasn’t planned by Lyndon who was lying unconscious in the hospital.

Not to mention that Lyndon thought they had died in the explosion.

Stella tried to ask, “The same year?”

Clarence hummed, “When Justin got into the car accident, the Conrad family’s driver and the driver who caused the accident died immediately on the scene. Justin was the only survivor, but his lower limbs were paralyzed, and he couldn’t stand again after that.”

“How... did the accident happen?”

“The other driver was driving under influence.”

Stella frowned upon hearing it, “2 people died in that car accident, both of them were probably not driving slowly. The other driver was driving under influence, but what about the Conrad family’s driver? Justin was in the car, so why was he driving so fast?”

Clarence smiled, “You’re smart.”

Stella was speechless.

She said, “Tell me properly.”

Clarence was always playing around.

Clarence continued saying, “Here’s the problem. They checked the scene for traces after the accident and didn’t find any brake marks on the road.”

“So, the cars just collided without stopping.” She paused and continued saying, “If that’s the case, then it’s obvious that it’s not an accident. Your...

Did Master Conrad launch an investigation?”

“He did, but couldn’t find anything. The driver worked with us for many years. He didn’t have a family and there was no motive. The other driver that caused the incident just got promoted as a department manager. He was going home after a celebration, so he didn’t have a motive either. Hence, the accident was considered as a coincidence.”

Stella continued frowning, “It seems like they didn’t have a motive, but...”

Something was off.

Clarence then said, “I also investigated this incident a few years back and couldn’t understand what happened. But now, at least I know a bit more about it.”

“What do you know?”

“The Conrad family and the Steward family got into trouble the same year, it definitely wasn’t a coincidence.” Clarence tapped his finger on the steering wheel, he said casually, “It only made sense that someone else was behind all of these. And the two drivers, there had to be something about them that we couldn’t think of right now.”

Stella thought that this would be all over after Lyndon showed his true colors.

But it was just the beginning.

Suddenly, Clarence’s phone rang. He stopped his car on the roadside and picked it up, “Yes?”

Stella couldn’t hear the conversation. Clarence frowned and he seemed tense.

Stella got worried, after he hung up the call she quietly asked, “What happened?”

Clarence said in a wintry tone of voice, “Jeffrey is dead.”

Stella was taken aback, she couldn't believe her ears.

...

She stood in front of Jeffrey’s body. His body was green and his limbs were tense.

Stella finally realized that he was gone for good.

The police said, “When we found him, he had already died for a while. The preliminary judgment was that he committed suicide. We had to wait for an autopsy report to really know what happened.”

Stella closed her eyes, she felt weak.

She wanted to see if she could find out more from him, but now he couldn’t answer her questions anymore.

Clarence hugged her from behind, he said, “A person like him, he’s better off dead.”

They got out of the prison and Stella said, “I’m all done here. You can go back to your office now.”

Clarence said, “You should always have a mirror with you.”

Stella asked, “Why?”

“Clarence answered, “If you can see the expression on your face right now, you wouldn’t be able to force yourself to say something like that.”

Stella was speechless.

Clarence always said one thing after another.

He held her hand and said, “Come, I’ll bring you somewhere to relax.”

“It’s raining, where are we going?”

Stella would never have thought that Clarence would bring her to go rock climbing.

She stood there and remembered some unhappy things, she turned towards Clarence and looked at him expressionlessly, “How am I supposed to relax with this?”

He smiled, “You want to be more adventurous? If this is not enough, we can go bungee jumping next time.”

Stella was speechless again.

Such an idiot.

Stella learnt her lesson from last time. The worker brought the equipment over and Stella said, “You put it on too. We’ll go up together.”

Clarence frowned, “Oh, don’t miss me too much.”

Stella pushed him, “Hurry up.”

Otherwise, he would take advantage of her again like last time.

Soon, they were fully equipped.

Stella pulled onto the string and climbed up slowly after Clarence started to climb up.

Stella was as slow as a turtle. Clarence suddenly got in front of her and looked at her, he was climbing without breaking a sweat. He smiled as he asked, “Do you need help?”

Stella gritted her teeth, “No need!”

She looked down and thought that she improved quite a bit compared to last time.

The rock wall here wasn’t as high as last time. It shouldn’t be a problem for her to climb all the way up.

Stella took a deep breath and was determined to reach the top.

But she overestimated herself. Her hands were jelly halfway to the top.

Suddenly, she missed a part and lost her balance. She was about to fall to the side when suddenly someone grabbed her waist and hugged her into their arms.

Stella looked over in puzzle, “I thought you were up there, since when did you come down?”

“Is that important?”

Clarence grabbed her waist and looked down, “Do you want to head down?”

Stella looked at him silently and decided to ignore him.

She knew that he was waiting for her here on purpose.

But she was prepared this time. He would stay here and as long as she kept holding on to him, he would get exhausted and couldn’t climb up anymore after that.

Clarence smiled upon noticing that Stella was hugging him tightly, “Are you afraid?”

She gave up explaining and didn’t bother to say anything.

Clarence said, “I don’t mind you hugging me like that, but I’m not going to be responsible if this gets on the news tomorrow.”

Only then, Stella looked back and noticed people taking photos of them.
