Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“Were there signs of the room being searched?” Stella asked Benjamin.

“No. This I am sure,” Benjamin replied.

“Wasn’t the murderer worried about the evidence? If he was, he would have been looking for it everywhere, wouldn’t he?” Stella asked in suspicion.

“There are two possibilities. It’s either that the murderer was confident about getting the evidence, or Trenton’s testimony itself is the evidence. Since he is dead now, so no one knows about the secret anymore,” Benjamin guessed.

“If that’s the case, then those around Trenton should be in danger as well. Since he has killed Trenton, then why didn’t he kill Mrs. Zane too?” Stella felt surprised as she glanced at the room once more. She had a bad feeling.

“Perhaps he murdered Trenton not to destroy the evidence, but because he held a grudge against him,” Benjamin guessed again.

“If it was a grudge, then killing Trenton right before he is going to jail is too big of a coincidence. Besides, it is also too much of a coincidence for Trenton to be so calm,” Stella looked at Trenton’s corpse calmly. “This is such a terrible way to die. Do you think that the murderer was trying to warn someone with this?”

A flash of light suddenly shone past Stella’s eyes. “Not good. We should have the network supervision department monitors take note of the recent postings on the Internet. It is likely for these photos to have been leaked.”

Benjamin stood still and said, “Are you telling me what to do?”

Stella was stunned at Benjamin’s reaction. She knew that he had always been an arrogant person, so she walked towards the door calmly.

Benjamin stood in front of her and asked, “How did you know that these photos would be leaked? What will the murderer get by doing this?”

“I don’t know what benefit he will get from this, but the murderer has decimated Trenton’s face to the point of irrecognition. It does not seem like he is trying to deliberately confuse us. It is too fake and we could definitely tell in a single glance. The murderer must have a motive. He might be trying to cause an uproar. His strange death and identity are all subject of attention.”

“What would that achieve? Isn’t he deliberately showing off in front of the police? Isn’t that contradictory?” Benjamin asked sternly.

“No matter what the murderer’s motives are, we have to stop things from getting worse,” Stella said solemnly. She went out of the room and immediately instructed Sean, “Hurry up and find someone to monitor the Internet. I am afraid that they would release the photos.”

“Nonsense. They would have done it already if they wanted to. Would they wait until now?” Lincon immediately denied it.

“That was because we weren’t here yet. If my guess is correct, they have been observing us from nearby. They will only release the photos when the time is right. They will let the media know and get them to come here,” Stella explained.

“Guess? Do you do things by guessing? Women like to think that their sixth sense is accurate. If these senses are correct, would there still be a need for policemen?” Lincon responded rudely.

Suddenly, Lincon’s phone rang.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Stella couldn’t be bothered with him. It would be a waste of time to argue with a self-opinionated and self-righteous person like him.

“Hurry up and give the order, or it will be too late,” Stella told Sean.

Sean nodded. He believed in Stella and trusted her intelligence.

Lincon ended the phone call and he looked extremely worried. He looked at Sean and said, “Someone has posted the photos online. They are all very detailed. They even took photos of us coming here.”

“You id*ot, why didn’t you believe her words? Look what has happened,” Lynette broke into a stream of anger.

“Lynette, don’t be rude. Things have already happened. Scolding won’t do us any good,” Stella ordered.

Lynette immediately shut her mouth in silence.

Eli looked at Stella with admiration.

Stella was really a person whom she admired the most. She used to admire her, and she still did. Why wasn’t she as smart as her?

Benjamin was surprised too. He was second in verdicts, and few people dared to question his judgment. However, he felt inferior to Stella whenever he worked with her.

“What do you think we should do now?” Sean asked Stella.

“There were no traces of the house being broken into. Trenton thought that he could live his life without worries while the murderer was not afraid of being exposed. The murderer thinks that he is powerful and extraordinary. He probably has a very strong background behind him to control everything, so much so that he knew of our arrival and investigation. According to this, our next step should be…”

Stella looked towards Mrs. Zane.

Mrs. Zane had already stopped crying. She kept her head lowered and her hands trembled with fear while she held a napkin.

Stella’s eyes narrowed with a sharp light that flashed through her eyes. “Subdue her.”

Elvis and Lynette immediately rushed over and subdued Mrs. Zane.

“How dare you! Who gave you such authority to take away people under our noses? Stella, don’t go too far,” Quinn stood up and shouted.

Mrs. Zane looked at Quinn’s direction.

Quinn then turned to Mrs. Zane and said, “Just say what you want to say.”

“Cover her mouth. Now is not the right time for her to speak,” Stella ordered.

Lynette obeyed Stella’s orders and immediately covered her mouth.

“Stella, you were on bad terms with Trenton, could you have been the killer and is preventing Mrs. Zane from talking now?” Quinn said angrily.

“I was not on bad terms with Trenton. I was just doing the right thing. I have already obtained evidence of his crimes and handed them over to the police and the Parliament. These crimes are enough to land him a death sentence. Why should I still have to do this then? No one here has any chances of killing Trenton, not even me. Mr. Zellweger, what makes you so irrational?” Stella asked calmly.

“I am not being irrational. Why are you treating Mrs. Zane like this in front of us? Even if her husband committed a crime, it has nothing to do with her. What’s more, her husband has just died,” Quinn said in a harsh voice.

“I’m doing this because someone has installed pinhole cameras in her room. Mr. Zellweger, do you really want all of our communications being posted on the Internet without being verified or examined when forming baseless speculations?

When the truth of the matter is discovered, it will definitely be revealed to the public. However, before anything has been identified, it will only cause panic and unrest to the civilians, won’t it? Mr. Zellweger,” Stella added.

Quinn’s face trembled in shock. “Did you just say that pinhole cameras were installed in this room?”

“Lincon, go and investigate,” Sean ordered.

“Yes,” Lincon responded and immediately followed his orders.

Stella stood in front of Sean and said deliberately, “President, I’m uncertain of the many grudges Trenton had, but I am the one who is most unlikely to kill him. Do you agree with that?”
