After Nathan had taken him away, he returned to the office. Looking at the man standing in front of the
French window, he said in a low voice, “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad...”
Clarence didn’t react. He peered out of the window coldly and expressionlessly.
When Nathan nodded slightly and was about to leave, Clarence suddenly asked, “Do you think he’s
telling the truth?”
Nathan was silent for a few seconds and answered, “No matter what he said, he had a purpose. Mr.
Conrad, you can just ignore him.”
Clarence asked flatly, “Ignore him?”
“They just want to save your father, so they came to beg you. He said those words to provoke you, so
you would become an enemy with Young Master Justin. Then, their goal would be achieved.”
“But you know he has told the truth, right?”
Nathan immediately shushed.
This subject was always Clarence’s taboo.
Since Joanna died, many things had happened in City N and Riverside City. All those matters had been
far beyond Joanna’s control.
If she could make such a fuss, she wouldn’t have committed suicide to intensify the hatred between
Clarence and Justin.
In the beginning, Clarence had thought that Joanna was in touch with Riverside City. However, the
investigation showed that she had no idea about the James family’s existence.
Besides, before Joanna committed suicide, she asked the nanny to strangle the baby in front of all
people.
Whether the baby had been killed or not, neither Clarence nor Dempsey would spare her.
At that time, she wanted to die so determinedly.
She believed she wouldn’t suffer a loss if she could make the baby die with her.
That was her plan.
If she had given the baby the injection, she wouldn’t need to commit suicide at all. She could only wait
until the baby’s disease to break out. If she could watch them be worried but fail to do anything, she
would definitely get her kicks and vent her anger.
The investigation of the injection led the clue to Riverside City.
In other words, the injection had opened a door for the investigation, leading them to find what was
behind it.
The person who had given him a window wanted to urge Clarence to look into the truth of twenty years
ago.
In fact, they should have faintly known who the manipulator was.
However, Clarence asked them to stop the investigation.
He believed that it was enough.
After a moment, Clarence said, “Do you think I’m too selfish?”
Nathan didn’t know how to answer, so he kept silent.
Clarence wasn't actually asking for his opinion either. He continued flatly, “I’m afraid if we continue the
investigation, Stella will know it. She used to firmly believe that Justin was the only decent man in the
Conrad family. He was the only warmth that she had felt in the Mansion. However, if she knows Justin
was the culprit of everything, what will she think? And I also have my own intention. Sometimes, I
wonder if what I’ve found is all wrong. I want to wait longer and hope to see a favorable turn. Not only
Stella, but he also used to make me see the sunshine in that disgusting mansion.”
Clarence had thought he knew Justin well as they stayed in the same house over two decades.
However, the Justin Conrad that Clarence knew well had been living with a mask.
At least, when Clarence was firstly taken back to the Conrad family, Justin had treated him sincerely.
Nathan had been working for Clarence for so many years. This was the first time that he heard
Clarence speak so many words from the bottom of his heart.
The critical point was that Nathan wasn’t good at dealing with such a situation.
After a long while, Nathan uttered a few words while nodding, “It’s indeed...”
Clarence cast him a cold glance. “Get out.”
Nathan immediately answered, “Okay.”
After he took a few steps, Clarence said, “Stop.”
Nathan looked back, “Yes, Mr. Conrad?”
Clarence said, “Keep an eye on the man who has just left. Don’t let him talk to Stella.”
Nathan was taken aback, and then he understood what Clarence meant.
Dempsey must want to get rid of Justin so eagerly now. Hence, he had sent his men to Clarence
several times. This time, the person was rejected again, so he would change his target soon.
They didn’t only have the evidence of Justin’s evil deeds but also the truth about the Steward family’s
disaster.
Hence, they would absolutely go to find Stella.
Immediately, Nathan said, “I’ll call Maxwell now.”
After he was gone, Clarence sat at his desk again.
A moment later, he dialed a phone number.
He said, “When Justin Conrad went to Canada, he met a female doctor. She was the one who
upgraded the injection.”
On the other end of the line, Darnell said, “A female doctor?”
Clarence continued, “I’ve sent my men to look into the matter in Canada and will get the result soon.”
Darnell said, “Not necessary. I roughly know who the female doctor is.”
Darnell gathered more than a dozen top doctors in his lab, so he had heard something about Amanda
before.
Although her medical skills were advanced, her character was twisted. She didn’t apply her talent and
skills to the righteous things but to some evil deeds.
There were a lot of female doctors in this world.
However, Amanda should be the only one capable of upgrading the injection while intending to do the
shitty business.
After receiving the news from Darnell, Clarence let Nathan find out where Amanda was. Soon, he got
to know that she was staying in City N.
Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, this woman should be the one who had kidnapped Daniel.”
Clarence squinted. Pressing his thin lips, he didn’t speak.
Nathan could also tell that this was a trap set up quite long ago.
It also explained why Lyndon Steward had been saved.
Nathan added, “Mr. Conrad, I also found that Amanda often goes to the underworld casinos, but...”
“But what?”
“Since yesterday, someone was looking for her. She must have known it and didn’t go to the casinos
again.”
Clarence raised his head to look at him, losing his patience.
Nathan immediately added, “It was Adolph Miller.”
Clarence frowned. “Stella?”
Nathan nodded. “Mrs. Conrad went to find Adolph Miller yesterday afternoon. She must have asked
him for help find Amanda. I suppose Mrs. Conrad haven't suspected anything yet, but she did this only
for Daniel...”
Clarence kept silent for a while and said, “Let Maxwell go there in person. Make sure to find her before
Adolph Miller does.”
Clarence kept silent for a while and said, “Let Maxwell go there in person. Make sure to find her before
Adolph Miller does.”
