Twenty minutes later, the black Rolls-Royce stopped at the gate of the community.
Seeing the car, Maxwell hurriedly walked over, âMr. Conrad.â
Clarence was enveloped in a cold aura at this moment as if he was a demon who crawled out of hell. He asked in a cold voice, âHave you found them?â
Maxwell shook his head, âWe checked the whole community and all the basements, and we even searched the areas outside of the community carefully, but we still failed to find them.â
Clarence abruptly turned around and grabbed Maxwellâs collar, his voice icy-cold, âHow did I instruct you before?â
Maxwell lowered his head, âI failed in my duty.â
âFailing in your duty?â Clarence sneered and pushed him aside, âCan you get them back by blaming yourself for failing in your duty?â
Clarence closed his eyes and continued, âHave you investigated the cause of this fire accident?â
âWeâre investigating it. But the fire spread in an instant. It seems like itâs not a pure accident.â
Clarence asked in a cold voice, âOne can easily find out this is not an accident if heâs not brainless.â
He turned his head to look at Maxwell, âDo you remember the appearance of the woman who pulled you before?â
âProbably.â
âProbably?â
Maxwell immediately said, âI remember it clearly.â
Clarence gave an order, âFind her as soon as possible.â
âOkay.â
Maxwell received the order and left in strides.
Clarence then ordered his subordinate who was waiting aside, âGo contact the manager of the apartment. I want to know about the cause of the fire as soon as possible. Moreover, contact the police to get the surveillance videos of the whole community. If you found any suspicious people, immediately catch them no matter what they want to do.â
âYes, Mr. Conrad. I will arrange it right away.â
âHold on.â Clarence then asked, âDid Amanda disappear too?â
His subordinate nodded his head, âYes.â
âCall Vincent and ask him to find out the whereabouts of Amandaâs boyfriend.â
After his subordinateâs leaving, Clarence stood on the spot. Looking at the boisterous crowd not far away, he pressed his thin lips into a straight line and slowly clenched his fists tightly.
The manager of the apartment hurriedly walked over after a short while, âMr. Conrad, I donât know youâre also here. I...â
âCut the craps.â
The man wiped the sweats on his forehead, âMr. Conrad, let me take you there.â
The fire had been extinguished and the whole building was still dripping with water. The inhabitants of the apartment were all complaining about the fire, looking worried and scared.
They went upstairs to the floor where the fire broke up. The manager of the apartment said, âMr. Conrad, be careful of the wet floor.â
Standing at the door of the burnt house, the manager said, âThis is the place where the fire broke out. I asked a firefighter just now and he told me this house had stored a large sum of flammable materials. As long as there was a spark, it would easily cause a big fire.â
âWho was the inhabitant of this house before?â
The assistant of the manager hurriedly walked over and said, âA You Tuber rented this house as her warehouse before, but she terminated the rental contract two days ago. The landlord was not in the city and he didnât have the time to come here to inspect the house. Moreover, that You Tuber left without asking the landlord to return her guarantee deposit, so...â
Clarence stood at the balcony and looked up.
They were now on the fifteenth floor and the house they lived in was on the twentieth floor.
Once the fire began to spread, Maxwell and the others would not have any time to hesitate and they would immediately choose to go downstairs from the exit passageway.
It seemed like this was a well-prepared plan.
The manager said, âMr. Conrad, er...â
Clarence said in a cold voice, âContact that You Tuber and check whether it was she who placed those inflammable materials here.â
The managerâs assistant received the order and left. The manager continued, âMr. Conrad, your house is on the twentieth floor, right? I guess the house is probably seriously damaged. Would you like to go upstairs to have a look?â
Clarence replied with a nasal sound. After taking two steps, he found the manager was following behind him, and said, âI will go upstairs myself. Go on with your own business.â
âOkay.â
When he arrived on the twentieth floor, Clarence walked to the house which was at the end of the corridor, put in the passwords and entered the house.
The whole house was pervaded with the smell of smoke and half of its curtains and sofas were burnt.
Clarence walked to the babyâs crib and fixed his eyes on the feeding bottle and toys that were left on the crib as they didnât have time to take them away. His black eyes were so unfathomable. It seemed like he was pondering something.
After a long while, he turned around and left.
He opened the door of the next room and took out a suitcase from the cloakroom. Then he packaged all the things that Stella usually used and her clothes into the suitcase.
As soon as Clarence went downstairs, he received a call from Vincent. Vincent asked, âWhat happened?â
âI have a foreboding.â
Vincent said, âIf the one who planned this was Amandaâs boyfriend, he would at most try to get some money. What else can he do? Just rest assured.
Iâm on the way and we will get the news soon.â
Clarence replied with a nasal sound and ended the call. Then he handed the suitcase to his subordinate, âSend it to the Starry Lake Mansion.â
...
At the same time...
On the other side...
Holding Little Noah who kept crying in her embrace, Amanda took a glance at the back seat and said anxiously, âWhere are we going? Whatâs wrong with Ms. Anderson? She has been unconscious...â
Logan, who was driving the car, comforted her in a soft voice, âItâs just that she has inhaled too much smoke and sheâs unconscious temporarily. She will wake up soon.â
âWhere are we going? At least you should tell me this.â
âRest assured. I will take you to a safe place and no one will find us.â
Amanda was burning with anxiety, âI feel so anxious. Can you please give me your phone? I want to make a call? They will get anxious if they canât find us.â
Her phone was lost when she went downstairs and before she could contact Clarence, Logan showed up in the crowd and told her that he would take her out as there were many people there.
As Amanda had to take care of the child, plus that she trusted Logan a lot, she didnât think too much of it. She thought she could get out first and find Maxwell later. However, unexpected, just as they took two steps, Dolores, who followed behind her, passed out. Logan supported Dolores up from the ground and led them to the car.
Before Amanda could say anything, Logan had started the car.
Logan looked towards her, âAmanda, actually I have been keeping one thing a secret from you.â
âWhatâs it?â
Logan continued, âActually, Iâve been working for Ms. Radomil during this period. You must also know it. Ms. Radomil has become the new person in charge of the Steward Group and Iâm her subordinate.â
Amanda subconsciously became nervous, âSo... So what?â
âMs. Radomil has learned about what youâre doing.â When speaking, Logan took a glance at the baby in Amandaâs arms and narrowed his eyes, âShe also knows that this is her baby.â
Amanda was shocked and her pupils amplified, âIm... Impossible. Mr. Conrad has been keeping it a secret. Ms. Radomil wonât be able to learn about this.â

She ordered me to take the child to a place where Mr. Conrad canât find him and she will wait for us there.â
Before Amanda could say anything, Logan continued, âHence, you canât report this to Mr. Conrad. As for whether my words are true or not, you will know it when we arrive at the place, right?â
