Chapter 385 Trouble at Nexus Innovations


After Stellan wrapped up her statement, she and Alaric bounced outta the police station. Stellan hopped in the car first, while Alaric and Neil hung back a bit, chatting. "With Stellan's statement done, your mom's case is totally closed," Neil said.

"Yeah, I know, Neil. Thanks a ton," Alaric replied, genuinely grateful.

Neil just waved it off. "No need to thank me. Just hope you won't be bummed out anymore."

Alaric gave a nod.

"At Mrs. Knight's funeral, I saw Stuart and Ambrose. Stuart's dead set on thinking you offed Todd and hasn't even looked Ambrose's way. That guy's a real pro at faking it," Neil said. Alaric shrugged. "Doesn't matter what Stuart thinks. Ever since the Vale family snatched Stellan, it's been war between us."

"I get it, but don't do anything crazy," Neil warned.

Alaric forced a smile. "Chill, Neil. I won't."

Neil gave him a pat on the shoulder, and Alaric headed to the car, sliding into the driver's seat.

"It's cool," Alaric said, firing up the engine. Stellan just let it go.
