Amanda was in a dilemma. But the cries from the baby in her arms interrupted her suspicion. She said,
“Then please hurry up. We were so anxious to get downstairs just now and didn’t bring his feeding
bottle and baby diapers. I guess he must be hungry now.”
Logan chuckled, “Okay.”
Half an hour later, the black car slowly drove into a mansion through two doors with carved patterns on
them.
Looking at this unfamiliar place, Amanda subconsciously clenched Logan’s sleeve, “Is Ms. Radomil
waiting for us here? Why do I feel this place…”
“Rest assured. We will be there soon.”
The car drove past a large garden and soon stopped in front of a side house.
Amanda looked out of the window. When he saw those strangers with cold expressions on their faces,
the uneasiness in her heart amplified.
Before she could express her confusion, the car door was opened from outside.
A man walked over, attempting to take the baby from Amanda.
Logan refused to give him the baby, “Who are you? What do you want to do?”
Logan’s voice sounded, but his voice didn’t carry the gentleness it usually had; instead, it bore an
unfamiliar coldness, “Amanda, you’d better give them the child. Otherwise, you will get hurt.”
Amanda looked towards him, shocked and scared, “You colluded with them. You…”
Amanda realized it was useless to say this and turned to say to the man who attempted to snatch the
baby, “Do you know about the father of the baby? If he learns what you have done, he will not let go of
you. If what you want is money, I can contact him and he will agree to your terms. Please don’t hurt the
child.”
Right at this moment, a sound of a crutch hitting the ground sounded in the quiet night.
Before Amanda could react, Dempsey appeared in her vision. He snorted, “Even though Clarence is
arrogant, can he fight against me?”
Amanda was completely stunned when seeing Dempsey, “Master… Master Conrad?”
“It’s good that you know who I am. Then I don’t have to waste time on you here.”
When speaking, Dempsey took a glance at his subordinate and his subordinate immediately
understood his suggestion and hurriedly snatched the baby from Amanda when she was unprepared.
Amanda pulled herself together when seeing this, wanting to get back the baby. However, Dempsey’s
subordinates immediately confined her.
Dempsey took a glance at the baby and said without turning around, “Imprison both of them.”
His subordinate nodded his head, stunned Amanda with a blow and carried her into the house. The
other man opened the door to the back seats and carried the unconscious into the house.
Seeing that the baby kept crying, Dempsey gestured the two babysitters who had been waiting aside,
“Take him into the room first and then check his situation. It’s at the midnight, so don’t let him keep
crying in case others will find out about him.”
The two baby-sitters replied simultaneously, “Okay.”
A babysitter took the baby from Dempsey’s subordinate, walked past the side house where Amanda
and Dolores were arrested and moved further up into the house.
Holding the crutch, Dempsey withdrew his gaze and looked towards Logan who had gotten out of the
car, “All right, you can go back first. Don’t let Clarence find out about this. As for your reward, I will
transfer it to you later.”
Logan curled his lips into a light smile, “Then Master Conrad, I should thank you in advance.”
It seemed like Dempsey didn’t want to talk nonsense with him anymore. He waved his hand,
suggesting him to leave.
Logan took a glance at the direction that the babysitter and the baby left, narrowed his eyes, turned
around and left.
After his leaving, one of Dempsey’s subordinates walked over and asked, “Master, Young Master Justin
will probably find them if they stay here. Should we shift them to the other place?”
Dempsey replied in a deep voice, “Justin has not been here for a long time and he will at most come to
this garden. You don’t have to worry about this. The one I worry about is Joanna.”
“Madame Conrad?”
“She had been looking for Dolores and is somehow out of her mind. If she knows Dolores is here, I’m
not sure what she will do. Maybe she will do something regardless of the possible consequences. It will
only ruin my plan.”
Dempsey paused and then continued, “You shall guard here in these days. No one is allowed to enter
this place without my permission.”
“Yes.”
After finishing the words, Dempsey walked towards the main house with his crutch.
The Conrads’ Mansion was so big that it was just a piece of cake for him to hide several persons here.
Amanda and Dolores were arrested in the same house.
When Amanda woke up, she was clutched by the pain in her neck. She noticed that Dolores was lying
on the bed and hurriedly pushed her, “Ms. Anderson, Ms. Anderson, please wake up.”
The reason why Dolores passed out before was that she was drugged by Logan. Along with Amana’s
calling, Dolores slowly opened her eyes. She endured the headache and asked, “Where are we?”
“We’re… We’re…”
Amanda choked with sobs violently, still not being able to utter a complete sentence after a long while.
Dolores looked around and abruptly became sober, “Where’s the baby?”
Amanda slumped onto the ground and cried loudly, “They took away the baby. Ms. Anderson, I’m sorry.
It’s my fault. I’ve brought danger to you.”
Dolores knitted her brows tightly, “What’s going on. Make it clear.”
Amanda told Dolores about the whole thing and choked with sobs, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have
believed him. If I didn’t leave with him, we wouldn’t have…”
Dolores closed her eyes, “Well, it’s useless to cry. Moreover, based on your words, both your so-called
boyfriend and the Conrads have been planned for this. They took advantage of you.”
“I… I… Ms. Anderson, what about the baby? Will they hurt him?”
Dolores’ expression gradually turned cold, “If this was planned by the Conrads, I can guess what their
purpose is. The baby will not be in danger temporarily.”
Amanda wiped away her tears, “Ms. Anderson, please rest assured. I will find a chance to leave this
place and ask Mr. Conrad to save you.”
Dolores silently heaved a sigh and didn’t speak again.
…
When Stella woke up, it was already three o’clock in the morning.
She sat up and realized her back was soaked in sweats. She felt dry and thirsty.
She vaguely remembered she had a horrible dream just now.
The fire twenty years ago was inexplicably associated with the fire in the apartment today and in her
dream, half of the sky was tinged with the red color of the flames.
And she seemed to hear the cries of a baby in the fire.
Stella lifted the quilt, went downstairs and poured herself a glass of water.
She then went upstairs to the second floor again and walked into her bedroom. However, Stella felt
sleepless when lying on the bed.
Maybe it was because of the nightmare just now, Stella felt her heart empty. She was clutched by
restlessness.
She picked up her phone from the bedside table. Initially, she wanted to text a message to Clarence,
asking him about the latest progress. However, before finishing the sentence, she deleted the words
one by one.
Never mind. She should not bother him.
Stella put down her phone and closed her eyes, forcing herself to fall asleep.
She had been staying in the hospital for the past few days. Although Donald helped him take care of
the affairs of the Steward Group, she had to deal with many matters herself.
Moreover, the trouble created by Armand remained unsolved.
She must solve it as soon as possible.
