Besides, he was only suspecting Cody. He could not be completely sure that he was the cause of
Grandpa’s death.
Kevan drank another cup of tea before finding an excuse to leave Pine Mansion.
The moment he got in the car, he called Dylan, “Don’t you have a high school friend in the criminal
investigation unit? I want him to help me out with something.”
In the afternoon, Larissa was about to leave the hotel when she got a complaint from a VIP guest. This
guest was rather hard to deal with. When she was finished, two had already passed.
She hurried to the kindergarten. Aster was still with two other kids in the classroom, reading children’s
books under Ella’s lead.
Upon seeing Larissa. Ella greeted her as usual but did not tell Aster to pack his things and go with her.
“Ma’am, let’s talk outside.” Ella’s expression was a little serious, and Larissa’s heart sank at once.
Aster watched them in confusion not far away, and he did not look guilty as one would normally look
after making a mistake.
That only deepened the puzzlement that Larissa felt. “What’s wrong, Ms. Gilmore?” she asked.
Ella led her further away until she was certain that their conversation could not be overheard by the
kids in the classroom. “An unknown man came over to pick Aster up today. He said that he was your
friend.”
that it was not right.
Kevan’s face appeared in Larissa’s mind’s eye at once, but after a moment of thought, she thought that
Ella had met Kevan before, so she would not use “unknown man” to describe him. The only “friends”
who would come to pick Aster up would be either Kevan or Dylan. She had not contacted Dylan over
the past few days, so she did not know if he was back from his business trip yet.
“But Aster said that he did not know him.” With this new information from Ella, Larissa removed Dylan
as a potential candidate at once.
“That man knows your and Aster’s names as well as your job, but he refused to tell me his name. I
found this fishy, and combined with the fact that I could not contact you, I did not let him take Aster
away.” Ella said.
When Larissa was working, she rarely had her phone on her. When she saw the missed calls from Ella,
she figured that the homeroom teacher was asking her when she was going to pick Aster up, so she
did not rush to respond–because it was only a five to six–minute ride from the hotel to the kindergarten.
“Sorry to trouble you.” Larissa was a little apologetic. “However, if I am unable to pick Aster up for
whatever reason and require someone else’s help, I will definitely tell you beforehand. As for the
person this time do you remember what he looks like?”
She had never asked anyone to help pick Aster up. If it was not Kevan and Dylan. She began to feel
tense.
Could it be — Ruby Cole again?
Ella frowned as she tried her best to remember. “Tall and thin, and he looks like your average guy.
Beady eyes and a buzz cut. Doesn’t sound like a Bartham local from his accent.”
Her description was too abstract. Larissa could match up several people she knew to that description,
but none of those people had a reason to pick Aster up behind her back. She looked up and found a
surveillance camera on the top of the classroom’s main door. Pointing at the camera, she asked.
“Could I see the footage from this camera?”
