    Chapter 1153 The Ring On Her Finger


    In no time, the helicopter entered Baykeep''s airspace. Sally taught Lucian to contact the control tower.


    Despite sounding young, Lucian was steady, so the control tower''s staff didn''t suspect anything and directed them about the altitude of the


    helicopter''s descent.


    Twenty minutester, the helicopternded on a helipad on the top floor of a hotel.


    It was a touch chilly in Baykeep that day. In fact, it was still raining then. As it was also easy to catch a cold during that particr season,


    Cooper made a call and had breakfast delivered to the hotel.


    He decided to wait until the weather had improved before going to the hospital to visit Herbert.


    After breakfast, Sally pulled Cooper aside to talk. “Call Steven toe over. I want to make a trip to Baykeep University.”


    “Stefan is studying in Baykeep?” Cooper asked.


    “Yeah,” Sally said impassively. “Baykeep is the Zeigler family''s territory. Mr. Zeigler has quite a close rtionship with my father, so I can


    rest easier when Stefan is here.”


    It so happened that Stefan had no lecture that morning.


    Without asking any more questions, Cooper took out his phone and gave Steven a call.


    Sally took a taxi to Baykeep University. Before the vehicle reached the university gates, she spotted Stefan standing there with an umbre in


    his hand.


    When the taxi came to a stop, she swung open the car door. “Stefo.”


    “Sally.” Upon seeing it was Sally in the taxi, Stefan quickly closed his umbre and got in. A great many droplets of rain fell on his ck


    woolen coat.


    Wiping the water from his coat with a piece of tissue, Sally frowned and asked, “Why are you just wearing a coat when it''s zero degrees


    today? Didn''t you buy a down jacket?”


    “I did, but the zip broke.”


    It was early when Sally traveled to Baykeep. It was only half past eight right then. She brought Stefan to the diner from which they ordered


    takeaway earlier for breakfast.


    After they took a seat by the window, Stefan whined, “This is the first time you came to Baykeep to visit me, Sally.”


    Since Sally sent him to Baykeep over two months ago, she hadn''t been back, merely having called him twice.


    She had watched Stefan grow up, and he was her only family besides her parents.


    For that reason, the coldness on her face faded significantly when she was with him, and her tone was also exceedingly gentle. “Sorry, that


    was an oversight on my part. I''ve been busy investigating Edward, so things have been rather hectic. I''ll call you once a week and inquire


    about things here from now on.”


    Eating a bite of spaghetti carbonara, Stefan asked, “Was it really him who reported Mr. Zane for pulling strings for someone?”


    “Yeah...”


    Since there was no sign prohibiting smoking in the diner, she took out a packet of cigarettes and a lighter. She lowered her head and lit a


    cigarette.


    Then, she told Stefan everything she had discovered in the past few days.


    “Other thaning to Baykeep to visit you, I have something else to do.” She tapped the cigarette between her fingers against the ashtray.


    “Is Nte attending sses regrly?”


    Nte Dawson was the freshman who alleged that Pablo had forced himself on her. She had skipped a grade to enter university, so she was


    only seventeen years old presently.


    A little over two months ago, Pablo had gone to Baykeep for a meeting. Nte was the person in charge of that convention. The following


    day, she called the police in tears, iming to have been sexually assaulted.


    Stefan had his head lowered as he ate. “Yeah. The public trial for Dad''s case is still pending, but someone has leaked news of her testifying in


    court. Many people have been gossiping about her after learning she had been raped. I heard that her mental state isn''t quite well, and she has


    been living in the dorm on campus.”


    Sally grew up by Pablo''s side. Thus, she knew the kind of person her father was. Even with irond evidence right before her eyes, she didn''t


    believe that he would do such a thing.

    She lowered her eyes and studied her brother. “Is anyone making life difficult for you at the university?”


    “Who would dare? At most, they gossip behind my back. I can''t be bothered about it.” Picking up the cup of ck coffee, Stefan took two sips


    with indifference written all over his face.


    “Don''t be afraid if anyone gets physical with you. Just hit them back. Call me over if you aren''t their match,” Sally said.


    “I''ve never been afraid. I''ll be utterly worthless if I can''t even defeat a few people, considering my height,” Stefan joked.


    While speaking, he inadvertently glimpsed the ring on her finger. In a sh, his eyes darkened.
