Aldor answered her and left.
Stella turned to look at Keegan.
'This bastard didn't even take off his shoes. How will Julian sleep here when he comes back later?' she
thought.
She went up to Keegan and took off his shoes. Then, she held his legs and pushed his body further
into the bed.
While she was doing so, she suddenly tripped over her feet and fell right onto Keegan.
Stella's chin knocked onto Keegan's belt. It was so painful she gritted her teeth.
She propped herself up from the bed. Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly felt something on
Keegan's body, which was under her, poking her. 1
Stella was startled. In the very next moment, her expression darkened. She grabbed the pillow next to
her and threw it at Keegan's head.
"Go die, Keegan!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe said and promptly left after.
Keegan was speechless.
When Aldor came back from buying the boba drink, he saw Keegan sitting by the bed alone in low
spirits. Meanwhile, Stella was nowhere to be seen in the car.
"Mr. Kane, where's Mrs. Kane?" asked Aldor.
Keegan said in a low voice, "She left."
Aldor wanted to ask where she had gone.
However, he realized what Keegan meant when he saw his expression.
'He probably means she had left and won’t be coming back,' he thought.
And so, Aldor kept his mouth shut.
After a while, he heard Keegan ask, "How'd she notice?"
Aldor was at a loss for words.
He was not in the car, so he obviously did not know the reason.
Three days later, Detective Karl contacted Stella.
The investigation into the car accident seven years ago had hit a bottleneck.
The Jewell family’s driver from back then had suddenly been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease
recently, so the detective could not get any information for now.
If it was true that the driver had Alzheimer's, then there was a good chance the things he said could not
be admissible as evidence in court, even if they managed to get some information out of him.
Meanwhile, the other lead the detective had been investigating was the cab they had rammed into.
This lead was even more bizarre. Not only was the driver in a similar situation as the other, but even
the passengers then were untraceable.
There was not a single clue, so it was really strange.
'Someone's wiped out this person's information. And it's very likely that this person isn't Albert Jewell. If
he were capable, that driver from the Jewell family should’ve been the first person he would take out,'
thought Detective Karl.
"The available evidence is incomplete. Most of it is speculation without substantial evidence." Detective
Karl paused.
He continued, "I'm really sorry, but this is all I can find at the moment. If you want me to end the
investigation now, I can refund you the full amount of the second payment." "There's no need."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella added, "Continue investigating. I refuse to believe he had coincidentally developed Alzheimer's
during the investigation."
Detective Karl nodded.
"However, I suggest you start with Albert and Hylda's relationship."
Stella looked at him. "You're saying to sow discord between them?"
Detective Karl smiled.
"If this was done by Albert, there's no way Hylda doesn't know a thing at all. Albert and your mother
cared for each other. He's timid, cowardly, and has traditionally masculine views. With his character, he
wouldn't have killed her unless instigated by others."
This was something Stella had considered before. However, she was no longer certain now that she
knew she was not Albert's daughter.
"Hylda White is a sly person," Detective Karl said in a hard voice.
He continued, "Did you know she was once a special needs student your mother had sponsored? To
her, getting married to Albert was an important step for her to move up the social ladder. She was the
person who coveted Mrs. Jewell's position the most."
Stella pursed her lips tightly. After a while, she finally said, "I understand."
Before she left, Detective Karl stopped her. "Your husband was also there at the car accident seven
years ago. He was the one who helped with onsite coordination. I suppose it's quite likely he knows the
person in the cab."
