Chapter 536 Actually, She Is Blessed
“She must be out of her mind. The Chief doesn’t like her,” Lynette Lanes stared at Tinley’s back and said.
“Lynette, don’t casually reveal Bellamy’s identity,” Stella Grace reminded.
Lynette knew that she had made a mistake and lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Madam. I won’t do it again.”
“Get Elvis to keep an eye on her with you. Keep me updated on everything she says or does,” Stella ordered.
“Okay, got it,” Lynette obeyed and immediately went out.
Stella’s lunch was already a little cold. Hence, she heated a bowl of soup.
She was quite hungry just now, but after the whole commotion with Tinley, she realized that she had lost her appetite.
She believed that nothing was going on between Bellamy and Tinley, but… Bellamy seemed to have lied to her.
She suspected that they knew each other. When she thought about the fact that Bellamy might have lied to her, she immediately lost her appetite.
The closer she got with Jasper, the more she didn’t want to lie no matter how cruel the truth was.
She ate a little and went back to the library. She continued preparing the questions for the psychological test paper.
One psychological test paper would not be enough to completely gauge a person’s mental state. There had to be a lot more areas that needed to be covered. She had to design at least 10 different sets of test papers.
At 3 p. m., her phone rang. Stella’s heart tightened. She was worried that it was bad news. She picked up the phone and saw that it was Greg Miles who called. She heaved a sigh of relief and answered the call.
“Stella, you are amazing. I gave the three photos that you have given me to the police. They tracked down the three suspects and got the same exact judgment as yours,” Greg said.
The murderer is called Graham Fellow. He came from a poor village. He studied very hard and passed the college entrance exam easily. He was admitted to the Department of Science of Jadragon University. However, his family was unable to afford his tuition fees. By the time he got enough money to pay his fees, his spot in the course had been taken by someone else.
When he returned home, his father died of anger and his mother fell ill. She died soon after.
Since he came from the slums, he had a hatred for those who were rich but refused to study hard, especially those who dealt with illegal businesses.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“You were right. He’s in charge of a small business. He had set up stalls near the school, selling ornaments, stationery, books, and so on. Sometimes, he would even sell fruits. He pretty much sold everything,” Greg said.
The first case started when he saw a primary student paying another student to do his homework. However, the student refused to do it for him. Hence, he beat the student up.
Since then, he hated that primary school student very much. He packed up his things, followed the primary school student across the lake, and pushed the child into the lake to drown him.
However, even after killing him, his anger did not dissipate. He pulled the child up and used a knife to dig out the child’s eyes, scratched his face, and cut off his hand.
He felt that the child had committed a crime by peeping at someone else’s homework. When he thought of himself being replaced by another person, he scratched the child’s face. Then, he felt that the child’s hands were dirty with sin, hence, he cut them off.
The second case happened in Pinophy City. He also set up a stall near the school to sell some items. He had heard that the high school student had bought the answers to the examination from his classmates. This time though, he was calm. He acquired some chloroform and followed the high school student for a period of time before he did anything to him. Maybe it was because of the influence of his memory, he used the same method as he did with the first child.
“The third and fourth cases are actually related. He saw the students’ parents bribing the teacher, and the teacher took the money. However, he didn’t scratch the teacher’s face because the teacher was not a person that could have ‘replaced’ him,” Greg said.
“As expected,” Stella sneered.
“What do you mean by ‘as expected’? Did you know about it already?” Greg’s admiration for Stella was evident through his voice.
“No, I didn’t know about it,” Stella said.
Back then, when she asked Greg for the information on the case, she had guessed that there was a connection to the current flaws in the education system.
Quinn Zellweger was responsible for the education department. He had always sided with Christian Saltzman.
However, Christian’s incident was now in the limelight. If she were to raise another issue, it would only weaken the public’s rage against Christian. This matter could be suppressed temporarily until Christian finally stepped down from his position as the Financial Minister.
“You’re too modest. It’s all thanks to you that this case was solved so quickly. It kept the credibility of the institution intact. Thank you. I’ll treat you to a meal when you’re free,” Greg said happily.
“Don’t worry about it. After all, I haven’t finished what I had promised you yet,” Stella laughed and said.
“Well, since this is a big case, consider the favor repaid then,” Greg said straightforwardly.
Stella thought of the help Greg had given her in the past, as well as Eli, whom she no longer had to repay. She felt somewhat desolate, “Greg, as long as I’m alive, feel free to call me for help whenever you encounter a problem. We’re friends, aren’t we?
“I will take up that offer then. I’ll reward you handsomely when the time comes,” Greg said.
“No, I don’t need your money. I just want to continue to be friends with you. Anyway, let’s talk another time. I have some matters to attend to right now,” Stella said.
“By the way…” Greg stopped Stella. “Does the heated discussion about Christian on the internet has something to do with you? I heard them saying that you’re Jasper’s widow. Did you marry Jasper?”
“That’s right,” Stella said.
“I didn’t even know that,” Greg said. He was a little disappointed.
“I didn’t have time to hold a wedding ceremony. Everything happened so quickly,” Stella explained.
“Sorry, just let me know if you need my help,” Greg said.
“Okay,” Stella responded and smiled lightly.
In fact, her luck was not that bad. She had Jasper, Allen, Greg, and once… Eli.
Stella’s eyes turned slightly red, and she added, “Thank you.”
“You don’t have to thank me. We are friends, right? Well, I won’t bother you anymore. Let’s meet up when you’re free then. I will introduce my girlfriend to you,” Greg said cheerfully.
“Alright,” Stella said.
Then, she hung up the phone. Her heart was warm. Even the questions that she had designed had changed a lot. This time, she took a warmer approach.
It was raining heavily outside.
It was unusual for it to rain that heavily during winter. However, it was still calm and quiet in the library. There was a faint melodious song playing.
Stella took a sip and poured herself some more water.
She looked at the time after she was done designing the papers. It was already 9. 30 p. m.
She sent the test papers to Anthony Levis and gave him a call, “Everyone needs to take the test papers in sequence, from one to ten. They have to complete one set a day. The examinations will take place at 2 p. m for the next ten days. They may take as long as they want as long as they hand it in as soon as they finish it.
You just need to record the time they handed in and write it down on the test paper.
Also, tell them that the person who designed the question papers is quite knowledgeable and would easily spot their errors. The 20 people who ranked at the bottom will all be expelled,” Stella said. There was a faint smile on her lips.
“Okay, no problem. I’ll ask someone to pick up the papers,” Anthony said.
“Alright,” Stella said and hung up the phone. Then, the phone rang again. When she saw that it was Lynette, she was shocked and even felt nervous. She took a deep breath and answered…
