“I’ll handle the traitor,” Frederick Addington said coldly.


    “Are you talking about her?” Ste Grace nced at the maid in the hall.


    Frederick nodded.


    Ste walked towards the maid instead of going upstairs.


    The maid’s face turned pale and she slowly put her hand into her pocket.


    “Kill yourself as you wish, but what about your family?” Ste said.


    The maid stared at Ste in shock before turning her sight to Frederick. She pondered for a moment before kneeling on the ground,“It was Mr. Saltzman who ordered me to do this. He threatened to kill my child and grandchild. I had no choice. Mr. Addington, please spare my family.”


    ”Answer my questions truthfully,” Ste said as she stood in front of Frederick.


    The maid hung her head low.


    “When were the rooms’ monitors installed?” Ste asked.


    “They were installed today. Frederick was not home earlier today, so Mr. Saltzman’s men came over to install them,” the maid reported.


    “Who will first receive the recorded videos? You or Christian?”


    “I’ll receive them first. Then I’ll send them to Mr. Saltzman.”


    “Have you sent him the videos for today?” Ste continued to ask.


    “Not yet,” the maid replied, raising her head.


    “Were you the one who leaked the information about Nina’s secret?” Ste continued asking.


    The maid paused for a moment and nodded.


    “I’m done asking,” Ste said as she looked at Frederick.


    Frederick’s eyes were filled with fire, “When did you start working for Christian?”


    “After thest attack, Mr. Saltzman came to see me,” The maid exined.


    “How much did you tell him?” Frederick squinted his eyes.


    “I did not say much. This is my first time reporting to him. I did not know that it would cost your mother’s life. I’m sorry, Mr. Addington. I’ll never do it again.”


    Frederick nced outside and said, “Leave.”


    “I…” The maid knelt and pleaded, “Please save me, Mr. Addington. I’ll be doomed if I walk out of this room. Mr. Saltzman will never let go of me.”


    “I’ve been kind enough not to kick you out myself.”


    “The thing is at where it was. I have not reported this yet,” the maid negotiated.


    A light shed through Frederick’s eyes. “It seems like I can’t let you go alive then?”


    The maid was shocked and she copsed to the floor. She then immediately held onto Ste’s legs, “Please help me!”


    Ste squatted down in front of her and asked, “How do you want me to help you?”


    “Please ask him to spare my life. He’ll definitely listen to you since he had brought you here,” the maid begged with tears in her eyes.


    Ste smirked, “What do you think is the best way for him to save you then?”


    The maid was stunned. She looked at Frederick and said, “He’ll find a way. He will definitely be able to save me.”


    “Why don’t you continue staying here? You could continue reporting to Christian, but only on the things that we allow you to.What do you think? It’s a win-win situation. You’ll be able to keep your family safe and also give what Christian asks for,” Ste asked in return.


    “Okay, okay. I promise to be loyal,only to both of you,” The maid bowed to Ste.


    Ste looked at Frederick.


    He clenched his teeth and squinted his eyes. There were mes of fury in his gaze.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Ste blocked his sight, “I know that you’re feeling angry now, thinking that she’s the one who had killed your mother. But she’s just a pawn in this matter. All she wanted was to keep her family safe. The truth is, she’s not a bad person at all. People tend to make mistakes when ites to their loved ones.”


    Frederick slowly calmed down. He then looked at Ste and said, “Let’s go out and eat. You must be hungry.”


    “You can’t remove the surveince devices if she’s staying,” Ste reminded.


    Frederick looked at his men and ordered, “Don’t take down any of the surveince devices.Let me think about it. Lock her up in the cell. I’ll handle it once I’m backter.”


    “Yes sir.”


    Frederick turned his head away from the maid. He was afraid that he would feed her to the dogs if he continued looking at her.


    Ste followed Frederick from behind and got onto the car.


    He did not order his men to drive. He drove the car himself.


    “Christian is a smart guy,” Ste said.


    “He is more scheming than his father, more attentive and cruel when dealing with things. He has never fully trusted anyone. I sent a woman to him previously, yet not a single trail was found. She was dumped after 6 months,” Frederick said dejectedly.


    “He is very cynical, careful, and cautious. He has no trouble making use of others to get his way. I’m guessing that it was either Asher or his wife who had killed your mother,” Ste guessed.


    “Why?” Frederick was confused.


    “Does your mother have any other men besides Asher?”


    “No, I’m pretty sure that Asher was her only man.”


    “Therefore, Asher’s wife would never dare to touch her since your mother had not made any mistakes. However, if your mother hadmitted an unforgivable mistake towards Asher,Asher’s wife would definitely not miss the chance to kill her. Based on what I’ve analyzed, Christian would never humiliate a corpse, especially since your mother’s private parts were nailed. Only Asher’s wife has the motive to do so.”


    Frederick’s grip on the steering wheel tightened,“I swear I’m going to rip her to pieces.”


    ”Christian is a smart guy. He knows that you’ll never let go of him if he killed her himself. So, he let Asher do it. Plus, he has a bad rtionship with Sean. Since he can’t destroy the Yaleman family on his own, he’ll use you as an instrument of his crime,” Ste squinted her eyes and said.


    Frederick sneered, “This old fox sure is good at manipting others.”


    “Who was the one that assigned you your previous position?” Ste asked.


    “It was Asher.”


    “You’ll have to be careful then. Since they have killed your mother, they’re not going to continue allowing you to be in power. They might even make up a false usation to pin on you.”


    Frederick frowned and sped up. He then slowed down again after remembering that Ste was pregnant. He said to Ste, “It doesn’t matter if they take away my power. My interpersonal rtionships have grown significantly now. Most of them are not even known by Christian and Asher. ”


    Ste believed in what he said.


    Frederick’s astuteness and resourcefulness were neither lesser than Sean’s or Christian’s.


    “I have a suggestion.”


    “What is it?” Frederick looked at Ste.


    “There’s no point in investigating this case anymore. They must have nned everything before killing your mother. It’s just like how Christian always gets away with all the nasty things he did. You’ll only be dangered if the investigation were to continue.”


    “So?” Frederick asked.


    “Endure. Look for the so-called evidence till you have the power to fight back. Instead of killing your maid and risk having Christian nt more traitors by your side, why don’t we just use her? This way, we could also convey the messages that we want to the other party,” Ste said.


    At this moment, Ste’s phone rang.


    It was a call from an unknown number. She picked up the call suspiciously.


    “Did you go to Frederick’s ce?” Bemy Chuck said unhappily…
