Chapter 900 Jared''s Worries


    Chapter 900 Jared''s Worries


    Alice was stunned, staring at Connor Stockert. She clearly had no idea that Connor Stockert would


    keep her here for a


    while just to punish her!


    “Mr. Stockert, you can''t do this! You can''t do this!”


    After a while, Alice came to her consciousness, her eyes bulging, begging Connor Stockert, “Mr.


    Stockert, please, don’t


    leave me here. I''m sorry. I won''t disobey you anymore, really! So, please get me out of here! Get me


    out of here!”


    Connor Stockert listened unfathomably to Alice''s desperate pleas.


    He got up on his crutches and walked to the door of the holding cell without looking at Alice, who was


    shackled to her


    wheelchair and unable to get up. As he walked, he said, without looking back, ‘I''ll say it again. You do


    wrong and you pay the price.


    You disobeyed me, and I let you stay here for a while, which is already my mercy. So, you should be


    d you''re still useful.


    Otherwise, when you go to jail, I''ll have them kill you quietly without Jared or anyone else!”


    This choked Alice''s supplication. She looked at Connor Stockert''s back in horror, shaking violently.


    This man tried to kill her!


    Yes, for this sinister old man, if she was of no use to him, he would not have kept her.


    So now she was d she was useful enough to keep the old man from killing her.


    But she knew that once the old man’s future goals were aplished, she would be of no use to him.


    Then she wouldn''t


    be able to escape this old man.


    Alice shuddered at the thought, afraid to ask for help.


    Because there was no point.


    She was even afraid that her cry for help would irritate the old man, who would now lose his patience


    and kill her.


    That would be more than worth it.


    So, she might as well suck it up here for a while.


    It was tough in a mental hospital, but she made it through two months. She was sure she wouldn''t stay


    here any longer


    than in the mental hospital!


    Alice quieted downpletely and dropped her head.


    Connor Stockert was surprised to see her calm down.


    But soon Connor Stockert wasughing, “I see you''ve figured out your consequences, and you''re


    starting to understand


    the rules. Good. That''s good. Keep it up.”


    With that, Connor Stockert walked out with Mr. Oller.


    Alice stared in the direction of his departure, her teeth gnashing, “Just wait, old man. You have


    something on me, so now


    you can threaten me. If I catch something on you, I''ll kill you first!”


    Connor Stockert walked out of the police station, unaware that Alice had a grudge against him. He


    closed his eyes and


    rubbed his temples as he got into the car.


    Mr. Oller put on his seat belt and turned around, "Boss, are we going back to the hotel?”


    Connor Stockert opens his eyes, which was filled with iprehensible emotion, “Haven''t you found


    the cemetery where


    Janice is buried?”


    Hearing that, Mr. Oller lowered his head and did not dare to look at him, “I''m sorry, boss, but not yet.


    The Farrell family hid


    Miss Zachary’s mausoleum too well. It''s like no one’s visited Miss Zachary in over a decade. So far,


    none of our people have been


    able to find out where Miss Zachary is buried unless they ask the Farrell family. But I think even the


    Farrell family, there are only two


    people who know where it is. Jared and the Old Mrs. Farrell.”


    The woman Hendrik Farrell married and the kid she had probably didn’t know anything about it.


    Connor Stockert didn''t say a word. He just twiddled his ring and was thinking about something.


    After a while, he let go of the ring and waved his hand, “Go back to the hotel.”


    “Okay.” Mr. Oller said and started the car.


    Kelsington Bay.


    Jared left the meeting in the middle, leaving a conference room full of disgruntled executives, and


    drove up quickly.


    When he opened the door, he ran straight into the living room without changing his shoes.


    Amber heard the noise and got up from the couch, turning her head toward the entrance.


    Seeing the man in a hurry, she cried out with a smile, “Jared.”


    Before she had finished her sentence, the man suddenly appeared in front of her like a bolt of ck


    lightning and hugged


    her tightly, as if she would suddenly disappear if he let go alittle.


    Sensing the man’s nervousness, Amber''s smile faded, reced by concern.


    She raised her hand, patted the man’s tight back, and asked softly, “What''s the matter? Why do you


    look like something


    happened?”


    Jared heard her voice and gradually came out of the tension.


    He loosened his grip on her slightly, then released her slowly and looked down at her. Instead of


    answering her question,


    he asked, “Are you okay? Did Connor Stockert do anything to you?”


    He took her by the shoulders with both hands, and looked her up and down, fearing that she might be


    hurt somewhere.


    Amber then realized that Jared''s sudden nervousness was due to his concem that she was not being


    taken advantage of


    by Connor Stockert. There was warmth in her heart.


    She took his hand off her shoulder and shook her head in it, “''m fine. At first, I was afraid Connor


    Stockert and his


    assistant were going to hit me, but they didn''t. They just talked to me and left.”


    Jared was relieved to hear that and hugged her back into his arms, “Good. You have no idea how


    worried I was when I


    heard you say Connor Stockert was here to see you, so I hung up the phone and I came straight here.”


    Amber blinked and a look of realization came over her face, “So when I told you that Connor Stockert


    came to see me, the


    phone was cut off not because your phone was dead, but because you hung up?”


    After Connor Stockert left, she went back to her apartment and called Jared to let him know that


    Connor Stockert had


    But as soon as she said that, the call was cut off.


    The call ended so suddenly and without a sound that she thought it was Jared''s phone that just


    happened to run out of


    battery.


    She didn''t realize he was the one who hung up.


    “It''s me” Jared nodded, “When I knew Connor Stockert came to see you, I was worried about you, so I


    hung up the phone


    and came to you.”


    "What about your work?” Amber looked at him.


    Jared rubbed her hair, “Of course your safety is more important than the work.”


    Amber blushed.

    Jared pulled her back down on the couch and asked her what was going on, "What did Connor


    Stockerte and tell


    you?”


    “He''s just trying to making a deal with me, trying to get me to cut Alice some ck.” Amber replied.


    Jared said, “And you said no!”


    Amber shook her head, "Of course I didn’t say yes. I can''t say yes to something like that. Wouldn''t it


    make me look afraid of


    him if I said yes? Doesn''t that make me seem even more vulnerable? That''s why I wouldn''t say yes to


    anything, and not only did I not


    say yes, I yed him a trick.”


    At this point, sheughed.


    Jared frowned, “A trick?”


    “Yeah.” Amber nodded.


    “How did you y him a trick?” Jared looked at her.


    Amber pursed her lips. “He asked me to spare Alice, and I said no. Then he made me an offer and said


    I could have


    anything I wanted. I said I wanted the Stockert Group, and he turned on me right away. Isn''t it funny?”
