Chapter 424 Why Are You With the Bad Guys?


"If you really give a damn about me, then just go kick the bucket. I can't stand your ugly mug anymore," Stellan snapped, then added, "Hit up my assistant about the car damage." After that, Stellan hopped into the car and told the driver to hit the gas.

Once inside, Ambrose's words kept bouncing around in her head. 'Is there actually someone behind Stuart? Could that dude be the one setting up the Storm Family?'

When Stellan got back to the office, Cormac was already there waiting. As soon as he saw her, he asked, "How'd it go? What did they say?"

Stellan shrugged, "Basically nothing."

Cormac thought for a sec and said, "I'll go again tomorrow. Since we've both been there, they should show some respect."

"Hope so," Stellan replied, "By the way, I ran into Ambrose again. He said behind Stuart, there is someone who might be the one framing the Storm Family. Should I tell Neil about this?" Cormac looked a bit shocked. "Ambrose said that? Why would he spill that to you?"

Stellan explained, "He said Stuart wants me and Alaric dead, and the only way to save myself is to divorce Alaric. Ambrose mentioned this before, but there's no way I'm agreeing to that." Cormac thought for a moment and then asked, "Has Neil been in touch with Alaric lately?"

Stellan shook her head, "No idea if they've talked on the phone, but they haven't met up recently."

"The last time I saw him was at Marigold's funeral. He's always been suspicious of you about Marigold's death. He even asked if I lied for you. I denied it, but I don't think he bought it," Cormac said. Stellan sighed, "There were no witnesses, just me and Marigold. She died, so there's no proof. I didn't push her; she fell on her own."

"If that's the truth, you got nothing to worry about. If you want to tell him, just call him. The more you dodge him, the guiltier you'll look," Cormac advised.

Stellan nodded. "Alright, I'll call him later."
