Sitting in the car, Stella could hear the pitter-patter of the rain.

There came Archer’s voice from the phone.

Caesar had been in a relationship with a woman for many years and they were supposed to get married earlier. However, the members of the James family were not satisfied with that woman’s family background and tried to separate them.

But Caesar had been insisting on marrying her.

Nonetheless, out of some unknown reasons, when the members of the James family were about to agree to the marriage, Caesar broke up with that woman.

Several days later, that woman died because of a car accident.

Ever since that, Caesar had disappeared from the James family.

The James family had been telling outsiders that Caesar died in that car accident with that woman.

Soon after this accident, Franklin and Caesar’s father, namely Elaine’s grandpa, suffered an illness and died after struggling for half a year.

Rumours had it in the James family that that woman approached Caesar for the sake of the James’ family’s power. However, as she couldn’t get the thing she wanted from Caesar, she dumped him and prepared to find the other man.

Caesar couldn’t suppress his anger and arranged the car accident to kill that woman. Then he felt so embarrassed to stay in the James family and secretly left Riverside.

To prevent the public’s discussion, the James family declared that Caesar was dead.

Archer commented, “Although they said so, I think it’s not that plausible.”

Stella asked, “Why?”

“In terms of the position in the James family, Hilbert is only inferior to the patriarch. Although Bancroft was the patriarch of the James family back then, Franklin and Caesar still had a high position in the family. If that woman really approached him for the sake of powers, Caesar was indeed the most suitable candidate at that time.”

“But didn’t you say that the members of the James family had been objecting to their marriage even though they had been in a relationship for several years?”

“Yes. But they broke up when Caesar’s father was about to agree to it. It’s so ridiculous.”

Stella clenched her phone, remaining silent. She thought what Archer said just now made sense.

She also thought the whole thing weird.
