Chapter 635 A True Master
“Of course, otherwise, I would not have asked you to help with the investigation,” Sean agreed.
“We will not be able to continue with the interrogation. The murderer is hiding not far from here, and there are cameras placed all over the room. Investigating the scene itself will take a long time.
There might even be a bomb planted there too. It is getting late, which will be bad for our energy and state of mind too.
I suggest we continue our interrogation tomorrow, Mr. President. What do you think?” Stella asked seriously.
“Sure. The most important thing now is to deal with the situation online. As for everything else, we will find another time tomorrow. Mr. Zellweger, what do you think?” Sean asked Quinn.
Quinn looked very awkward, he then said with a smile, “On one hand, Miss Grace is not a government official; on the other hand, she is not a police official. Mrs. Zane is the most important witness right now. It won’t be appropriate to take her back.”
“With all due respect, Mr. Zellweger, Trenton is your subordinate. Many people think that you killed him because he knows too much of your secrets. Of course, I don’t believe in such rumors. After all, there are not that many people who are as smart as you are. Mr. Zellweger, you should be avoiding a taboo, right?” Stella said calmly.
Quinn’s face turned red. He raised his voice and said, “I don’t want to take away the witness. I do not trust you.”
“Why are you worried about me?” Stella asked him with a smile.
Quinn was at a loss for words. He paused for three seconds. “Would you dare execute a military order? If anything happens to Mrs. Zane, you will have to take full responsibility.”
Stella was as calm as always, she smiled. “Why do I have to give a military order?”
“Otherwise, you couldn’t possibly guarantee her safety,” Quinn nodded at Stella.
“Some people want her dead. Mr. Zellweger, will you be able to guarantee her safety?” Stella asked deliberately. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that Mrs. Zane had calmed down quite a bit.
She continued, “At least, the Dark Shadow from my family will always be loyal to me. I am sure that you have heard of the Dark Shadow before. They are loyal to the country and the people. They are the elite of the elite. They are willing to sacrifice their lives As long as it is right and for justice. I could say that my men cannot guarantee Mrs. Zane’s safety, but I could not say the same for your men.”
“You are just a woman, yet you are secretly controlling an organization. Aren’t you violating military law?” Quinn picked out the key points.
“I am merely telling you their abilities. They are no longer soldiers. They are just guards that I have hired. That should not be a problem, right, Mr. Zellweger?” Stella continued.
Quinn was speechless, but he was still unwilling to give up. He said coldly, “You have a sharp tongue, but I won’t bother myself to argue with a woman.”
Sean smiled faintly. “Mr. Zellweger, since neither you nor I have any objections, Stella shall bring her back first. We will discuss the details in tomorrow’s meeting.”
“I just brought my assistant here. I don’t have anyone else by my side at the moment. I hope that you could lend me some of your people, Mr. President.” Stella replied firmly.
Sean nodded. “I will give you a team. However, my people will withdraw after they have sent you back, in order to prevent people from gossiping. Will that be alright?”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Stella nodded. “Good enough.”
She then walked out.
Elvis and Lynette then brought Mrs. Zane to the car.
Elvis drove the car, while Stella sat in the passenger seat. Lynette and Mrs. Zane sat together.
After the car started, Stella turned around and looked at Mrs. Zane, then ordered Lynette, “You may untie her now.”
“So, you’re Stella?” Mrs. Zane glared at Stella and asked rudely.
She did not expect Stella to be such a beautiful girl. She seemed to be the prettiest girl whom she had ever seen. She might even be more capable than Yvonne.
Stella did not even look at her. She looked to the front and said leisurely, “I suggest you lower your head now. Otherwise, when your head gets shot, your son’s life will not be spared too.”
Mrs. Zane’s face turned pale. “How do you know about my son? Are you working with Quinn?”
“I had not thought about it at first, but after seeing how aggressive Quinn was, I couldn’t help but ponder about it. The murder that happened this time must’ve been a trap, right?” Stella said firmly.
Mrs. Zane sat on the chair, fear could be seen in her eyes, “How did you know? How did you know everything?”
“At first, I thought that your husband was murdered because he seemed to be very relaxed before he died. He was even in the mood to eat crabs, something that is difficult to eat. But, your house was not robbed, and the murderer even posted the photos on the Internet openly. That shows that he was not afraid of making a big commotion. If that was the case, then it is not as easy as a simple murder.”
“Then, after hearing what Quinn said about letting you talk, I could guess that it was a trap. Not only was the case exposed, it was also made to look like he was killed. If you were to make a testimony, it would cause a huge commotion even if it was untrue.”
“Your testimony will not make me the target because I am not an absolute threat to Quinn. I am guessing that your testimony will include Sean. Then, Sean would be under the suspicion of being a murderer,” Stella slowly analyzed.
Mrs. Zane’s face was pale. “Are you a monster? You are too horrible. You really are a monster.”
“Monsters can eat people, but I don’t. On the contrary, I am saving you. Have you ever thought about what would happen if you were to place Sean in a trap?” Stella glanced at her and asked.
Mrs. Zane said with caution, “He said that he would let me and my son go abroad. He also said that he would give us some money so that we could live a carefree life.”
Stella smiled and said, “That is because you don’t know Quinn well. You are helping him to set Sean up. Sean has the Invisibles by his side and his powers are unimaginable. For Quinn, letting you live would only be the equivalent of having a time bomb by his side which could explode at any moment and decimate him to pieces.”
Mrs. Zane was in a daze for a moment. She thought for a while and said, “Are you saying that Quinn was going to kill me and my son?”
“It doesn’t matter what I think. What about you, what do you think?”
Mrs. Zane’s body was trembling. She was filled with fear.
Everything Stella said sent tremors to her heart.
“Quinn said that my husband was finished. He had no chance of getting out of prison and he might even be sentenced to death. My son and I might not be able to live a good life too. Moreover, I got angry at the thought of him having affairs behind my back. I thought that it would be better to have it our way. When Quinn took my son away that day and when my husband returned happily to tell me that everything was settled, I knew that his death was imminent.
He liked crabs, so I bought crabs for him. I must have been too nervous, so I accidentally spilled the sauce over him. After all, he has been my husband for over 20 years. I could not bear to see him die,” As Mrs. Zane said, tears rolled down from her eyes.
