Chapter 470
In the Conrad Group…
Nathan quickly approached rence after rence got out of the meeting room, “Mr. Conrad,
something happened.”
rence stopped and became nervous, “Ste?”
“Yes, and no.”
rence looked at Nathan expressionless, “Next time,plete your sentence first.”
Nathan continued, “Mrs. Conrad went back to Jeffrey’s house with Channing. Then, they found out…”
rence tried to be patient, “Are you going to finish your sentence or not?”
Nathan didn’t mean to act in such a manner. He had been working with rence for over thirty years,
and he had seen so much, but what happened in Jeffrey’s house was so umon. It was
overwhelming, and it could send a chill down Nathan’s spine.
Nathan said softly, “Mr. Conrad, Mrs. Conrad’s mother was found.”
“Where did they found her?”
“In…Jeffrey’s house.”
rence was shocked. He tilted his head and asked, “Are you sure?”
Nathan nodded, “The news came from them. I think Daniel was also there. The news is almost certain.”
rence paused and narrowed his eyes. He changed direction and said coldly, “Postpone all my
schedule. I have some other thing to attend to.”
Nathan followed behind, “Sure.”
Then, Nathan quickly took his phone out and did as rence asked.
After rence got into the car, he asked, “So, how are they?”
“Mr. Conrad, are you asking about William or Mrs. Conrad?”
“Both.”
“Based on what I know, Mrs. Conrad hasn’t gone to the police yet. Daniel probably stopped her. After
all, it could be a piece of hot news once they inform the police. It’s not going to be a good thing for
either of them. It could be even more troublesome if Lyndon finds out.”
Nathan continued, “As for William, they must know about it already since Daniel was there. We’re just
couldn’t sure about what they’re going to do with the new. Mr. Conrad, do you want me to go and find
out?”
rence pouted. He replied after a while, “No need. We’ll know about it soon.”
…
It had been a while since Daniel went to make a call.
Not only Daniel, Channing too never returned.
Ste sat on the couch and stared at the window with her empty-looking eyes. She was deep in
thoughts.
After a long while, the sound of footsteps finally came from the entrance.
Sherry quickly stood up. She found out that it was rence when she was to say something.
Well, at least they weren’t so freaked out now.
Sherry got out of the ce after she saw rence’s arrival. She gave an excuse saying that she
wanted to look for Daniel.
rence sat beside Ste and hugged her around her shoulder. He said softly, “It’s going to be fine.”
Ste returned from the zoned-out status and stared at rence. Then she remembered, “Why are you
here? I thought you have things to do today?”
“Nothing is more important than you.”
Ste grasped rence’s shirt subconsciously and muttered, “I didn’t expect this could be it…”
rence hugged Ste tightly. He didn’t know what to say to Ste.
Ste and Channing had been staying in this house for almost twenty years. So many days and nights
they had spent here, and they never knew there were human remains in the wall.
And the human remains belonged to their mother.
rence patted Ste’s back and silently consoled her.
After a long while, the sound of footsteps rose from the entrance again.
It was loud and messy.
Ste raised her head from rence’s arms. She saw a man got thrown into the house.
Ste looked clearly, and she realized it was Jeffrey.
It seemed like Jeffrey was used to being treated like this. He got up from the floor and swiped away the
dust on his shirt. When Jeffrey saw the wardrobe and wall in the room was demolished, he freaked out.
He ran to the demolished wall and shouted in anger, “Who did this? Who gave you the permission to
demolish my house? I’ll call the police and get you all arrested!”
Channing walked into the house from outside and said coldly, “I did it.”
Jeffrey ran towards Channing and grasped his cor. He scolded with the dirtiest words he knew, “You
bastard! I should have drowned you in my pee when you were born. My effort in raising you was
wasted. You ungrateful bastard.”
Jeffrey got pulled away from Channing before he finished scolding Channing. However, he never
stopped using dirty words on Channing even after he got pulled away.
Ste walked over and looked at Jeffrey calmly, “You want to call the police? Great. Go ahead. I’m
interested in finding out how many years they’re going to lock you up for hiding a body in the wall.”
Jeffrey spat and continued shouting, “What do you know? She’s mine, and I have the right to bury her
wherever I want. Whatw did I break now? I…”
Before Jeffrey finished his sentence, he saw rence stood beside Ste. Jeffrey suddenly felt less
dominating. There was nothing he should care about now since they’ve found out everything.
Jeffrey continued, “People got buried in the earth once they’re dead. Why can’t I bury her here instead?
It’s my house, and it’s my own ce. Why can’t I do that?”
Ste didn’t have high hopes of getting the truth from Jeffrey. She suddenly felt strengthless, and the
world was spinning so fast in front of her. Ste reached out her hand to rence. She wanted to say
something, but she realized she couldn’t make any sound.
Before Ste passed out, she felt like she fell into a pair of warm and strong arms.
Many people were calling her name, but she couldn’t really hear it.
Everything was dark.
…
In the hospital.
Nathan looked at the person lying in the hospital bed and whispered, “Mr. Conrad, the police had left.”
“What about the body?”
“It was sent to the forensic team. They’ll allow us to make arrangements for her funeral once they’ve
confirmed her cause of death.”
rence said softly, “And he didn’t show up?”
Nathan shook his head, “No.”
“Alright. You can leave now.”
rence then only have time to look at Ste after Nathan left. He held Ste’s hand.
It was like Ste could feel rence’s existence. Ste’s eyshes fluttered, and she slowly opened
her eyes.

Ste was confused as she looked at the surrounding. She took some time to figure out where she
was, “I’m in the hospital?”
“Yes. You fainted. How are you feeling now?”
Ste got up from the bed, “I’m still feeling woozy. Where’s Channing?”
“He went to the police station.”
Ste was stunned, “Did anybody went with him?”
rence replied, “Daniel and Sherry both went with him.”
Ste took a breath of relief, “Great.”
“You shouldn’t be worrying about him. It’s you who got into the hospital.”
“I’m worried that he couldn’t take it so well for what happened.”
rence asked coldly, “And you’re taking it well?”
rence nced around the ward and continued coldly, “Like this?”
