Chapter 362 Cormac Is Not as Shameless as You


So, about what went down with the Storm family seven years back, Ambrose had been trying to crack that mystery for ages.

As what he told Alaric, the Vale family and the Storm family were worlds apart, no beef between them. What kind of grudge could there be?

Now, Ambrose was lurking outside Stuart's room, so jittery he barely dared to breathe, scared he'd get caught.

After a bit, he heard Stuart on the phone. With the door in the way and Stuart chilling on a sofa not too close, Ambrose could only catch bits and pieces, all muffled and unclear. From the few words he caught, it sounded like, "Alaric's pushing for a retrial, what do we do now?"

Stuart was definitely asking the person on the other end for advice.

Judging by the tone, it seemed like the person on the other end was the boss. Was Stuart taking orders from him?

If the Vale family and the Storm family had no old grudges and no reason to mess with each other, then there was only one explanation: Stuart was working for someone else. But seriously, would someone as cutthroat as Stuart really take orders from someone else?

If there was someone pulling Stuart's strings, Ambrose couldn't just throw the evidence out there. Even if he took Stuart down, the puppet master would strike back.

Until he knew who was behind Stuart, he had to play it cool. Since Stuart was trying to get Alaric to drop the retrial, let him sweat it out.

With all the red tape and it being an old major case, it wouldn't get approved quickly anyway.
