Chapter 480


    Everything went smoothly as Emmett and Daniel were there. They got a burial ground prepared


    beforehand.


    After cremation, the ashes would be buried in the burial ground by the workers.


    On the way home, Ste called Channing. She then sent him the address of the grave and then leaned


    on the car window. She stared outside quietly.


    Sherry asked softly, “Ste, are you okay?”


    Ste smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’m used to this.”


    Sherry sighed silently. She tapped Ste’s shoulder, trying tofort her. She didn’t know what to say.


    After a while, the car stopped.


    Ste reorganized her thoughts and took a deep breath. She was about to open the car door, but


    someone opened it from outside.


    She looked up and looked at the person standing outside the car in surprise, “Why are you here?”


    rence leaned forward and grabbed her hand that was hanging mid-air, “How could I not be here for


    something so important?”


    Ste pursed her lips. She got out of the car.

    Daniel called her and she was soon on her way to the appraisal center. On the way, she messaged


    rence about this.


    But he never replied. She thought he was in a meeting and wasn’t expecting to see him.


    She got out of the car and noticed that Cameron was there as well. He had a walking stick with him and


    stood afar with a grim look on his face.


    Daniel probably told him about it already.


    Ste looked around, there was no one else.


    rence knew what she was thinking. He held her shoulder and said, “Let’s go.”


    The sky turned dark, and it started to rain.


    Ste stood in front of the grave. She lowered her eyes.


    rence stood next to her, holding an umbre.


    After a while, Channing arrived as well.


    He didn’t walk up to the grave, he just stood quietly and watched from afar. His handsome facial


    features were being clouded by the misty weather, one couldn’t tell how he was feeling.


    Many came, but nobody talked during the whole funeral.


    After the tomb was sealed, Cameron sighed deeply, “It had been so many years, Miranda could finally


    rest in peace.”


    rence said, “It’s not that simple.”


    Cameron looked at him and grimaced, “What do you mean?”


    “After the explosion that year, what else happened? Why was she there for such a long time? Why


    didn’t she ask for help? Why did she marry Jeffrey and why was she killed by him? There are so many


    questions but there are no answers.”


    Cameron gripped his walking stick, he frowned deeply and didn’t say anything.


    rence continued talking, “Jeffrey is the only one who knows the answer to these questions.”


    Daniel said, “We used every trick on the book to make him talk. Even if he said something, he was just


    spouting lies. None of what he said was true.”


    rence said, “That’s because he knew that that way, he would still have value and you guys wouldn’t


    kill him off so soon.”


    “Do you know how to make him talk then?”


    “I don’t know.”


    Everyone was speechless.


    Ste grabbed his sleeve, signaling him to not talk about it anymore.


    rence grabbed her hand in return and said, “I just wanted to remind everyone that this isn’t over yet,


    it’s not that simple. We shouldn’t let our guard down.”


    Emmett stayed silent for a while, he then said, “Everything was brought up by Lyndon. He went into


    hiding now, but as long as we spent some effort, searching for him was just a matter of time. Are you


    saying that…”


    “If this is part of his n, then yes.”


    Cameron said, “You mean that Lyndon had aplices for what happened back then?”


    rence said, “It’s just a guess from my side. You guys know Lyndon quite well and have already


    searched the possible areas that he would be at. And we have people shriveling the ce constantly.


    Under this circumstance, Lyndon couldn’t possibly run away unless someone hid him on purpose.”


    Cameron said, “We thought of this, but we checked everyone who got in touch with him and still


    couldn’t find anything.”


    “He knows that you guys are looking for him. Of course, he won’t be hiding in ces that you guys can


    think of.”


    Daniel asked upon hearing what rence said, “So, Mr. Conrad, do you think that the person hiding


    him is someone who has no contact with Lyndon on the surface but has to help him for some reason?


    And the reason was most probably rted to the incident 20 years ago?”


    “Maybe.”


    They were all just guessing baselessly, they had no evidence.


    It went quiet again.


    At this moment, Ste said softly to rence, “I want to go to a ce. Can you go with me?”


    rence looked at her and said, “Okay.”


    Ste bowed slightly at Cameron and said her goodbyes. She then walked up to Channing and Sherry,


    “Sherry, Chan, let’s go.”


    Channing nodded and nced at the grave one more time. He then left with Ste.


    Sherry turned around and met Daniel’s eyes identally. Her scalp felt numb, she quickly left.


    They got outside and Ste halted in her tracks, “Sherry, I want to go somewhere. Can you send Chan


    back to school for me?”


    Sherry wanted to say something but Channing got ahead of her, “Are you going to see Jeffrey?”


    “Even though he has been lying the whole time, I want to ask again since we know more about the


    incident now.”


    “I want toe with you.”


    Ste shook her head, “No.”


    Channing frowned, “But…”


    Ste said, “rence will go with me. You should go back to school.”


    Channing wanted to say more but Sherry was already grabbing his shoulder and trying to shove him


    into the car, “Listen to your sister, don’t think about this too much. Jeffrey is an ass… Jeffrey doesn’t


    say nice things, it’s good that you don’t go.”


    Jeffrey wasn’t a nice person, but he still was Chan’s father. Sherry swallowed the word “asshole” that


    she was about to blurt out.


    Ste smiled at Channing, “Don’t worry, I’m just going to ask some questions. I will give up if he doesn’t


    want to say anything.”


    Channing pursed his thin lips, he looked away and got into the car.


    Sherry waved at Ste, “Ste, we’ll be leaving.”


    Ste nodded, “Okay.”


    They got into the car that Ste took to get here just now.


    After the car drove away, rence grabbed Ste’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”


    On the car, Ste asked, “Do you know something that I don’t?”


    “What?”


    “The things you were saying today. You never mentioned them to me. But then you suddenly said it all


    out. You must have some new information.”


    rence’s hands were on the steering wheel, he answered, “I don’t know, it’s just that…”


    Ste asked, “Just what?”


    “I realized a problem.” He squinted his dark eyes and his voice turned frigid, “The year the Steward


    family got into trouble was the year that Justin got into a car ident. And that year, the Conrad family


    took me in.”


    Ste’s eyes were open wide upon hearing what he said. She looked at him in disbelief.
