Stella was upset at all. She was more than 90% sure that Stella had something to do with the lounge incident.
However… no one knew what the police had found in their investigation.
Brian got up and walked over. He looked at Grace and said, “I also got a call from the police. No matter who they wanted to harm, once they find out who drugged that man and who locked the lounge door, I’ll make them pay the price and give you justice!”
Grace looked up at him. ‘He knows I’m suspicious of Stella, so is he telling me that if it really is Stella who did it, he’ll never cover for her?’
Stella shuddered, and there was a flash of envy in her eyes when she heard what Brian said.
‘Does Brian really care that much about Grace that he can’t bear to see Grace being wronged just a little? Grace wasn’t even hurt at all. She just got a few scratches on her arm!
The police said, “Alright, let’s get into the room. There’s something I want to explain to you.”
Robert Brewer’s family also entered the room with them. After all, Robert Brewer was considered a victim in this case.
The family members who came today were Robert Brewer’s parents, who were also Stella’s former in-laws.
Their eyes had never left Stella since they entered the police.
station. Seeing their former daughter-in-law dressing like a million bucks and their son, who was still lying in the hospital, both of them had an indescribable feeling.
Everyone in town said that their former daughter-in-law had snagged the crown prince of the entertainment industry and was going to be the young madam of the Hart family.
However, now it seemed that the crown prince was nicer to
Grace!
Several people sat down in the room, and the police told them about their findings as they played some surveillance footage for them.
When the police said there were two surveillance cameras installed near the lounge’s entrance, Stella was stunned. She immediately turned pale.
‘Two?” She remembered it was one. Moreover, she had done some research in secret. The surveillance camera only captured the upper part of the lounge’s door, and it was mainly facing the escalator to the second floor. The lounge.
was just a pa**ing shot.
Therefore, she had specifically told the cleaner she bribed to bend over when locking and unlocking the door so that the camera could not capture her.
‘Now, the police were saying there was another camera?
‘What’s going on here? Did… the other camera capture the cleaner who locked the door? So if the police find this cleaner and track me according to the clues, I’ll…’
Stella was covered in a cold sweat at the thought.
However, when the screen in the room showed a fast-forwarded footage of the surveillance, they discovered that one of the footage, as Stella had already known, filmed only the upper part of the lounge’s door and not the lower part.
As for the other surveillance camera… It filmed a corner next to the lounge’s door!
Stella was stunned, and she stared blankly at the surveillance footage. ‘How could this be? How could the surveillance camera be pointed at a corner? What’s the point of monitoring a corner no one would go?’
The police pointed to the surveillance footage aimed at the corner and said, “The camera was supposed to show the lounge’s door, but someone moved it. The time they moved it was at 4:12 p.m.
Stella breathed a sigh of relief. She was still applying makeup at 4:12 p.m.! She had a lot of witnesses!
“Who moved the surveillance camera?” asked Brian.
“We’re going to have to look into that to see if anyone on the scene noticed anybody moving the camera. However, I’m afraid it’s going to take a long time. We have to see if we can get in touch with those people who were in the lounge area of the mall at that time and see if they noticed anything,” said the police. Then, he continued to talk about Robert Brewer.
According to Robert Brewer’s statement, he came to see Stella that day and Stella asked him to wait in the lounge.
Robert Brewer felt uncomfortable after about ten minutes, and then he had no memory of what happened afterward.
The hospital’s laboratory results had also come in. Robert Brewer was indeed drugged with an aphrodisiac drug that day. However, the drug was easy to buy online, so it was difficult to track its source.
The police said that they would continue to pursue the investigation, but it was difficult to come up with the results in a short time with the existing clues.
they could not find out the truth any time soon, nothing more could be done as time went on.
When they came out of the police station, Stella sald to Grace, “Grace, I think the police will find out who did it. I don’t know who’s trying to hurt me! You even suffered for me!”
“Yes, I want to find out who did it soon,” Grace said pointedly before turning to leave.
Brian stepped forward and said, “I’ll send you home!”
“No thanks, I’ll take the bus,” said Grace. She was aware of Brian’s feelings for her, so if she had no intention of reciprocating them, she would avoid him even more.
Stella leaned in and gently said to Brian, “Brian, let’s go then.”
However, Brian looked at Grace’s back and told the driver, “Take Miss Lindsay home.” With that, he quickly ran in the direction
Grace had left.
Stella clenched her teeth in hatred and turned to get into the car.
Her former in-laws stopped her. “Stella… Dazhu is in the hospital right now. He… Because of this incident, the doctor said that the drug is too harmful to the body and will affect that function. You know that he has no children. We have to cure him, but it costs a lot of money. Can you give us some money so that Dazhu can undergo treatment?”
Stella snorted coldly. “I don’t have the money!” Without waiting for her former in-laws to react, she got in the car and let the driver drive.
She hated Robert Brewer for blackmailing her with those photos. Robert Brewer could not even tackle Grace. He was so useless and even made the film crew see her photos. She was so humiliated!
She would rather Robert Brewer become infertile! It would be a relief to her hatred! How could she possibly spend money to save him?
The car drove away, and Robert Brewer’s parents could only stare blankly!
The bus station was near the police station, and it was only a few minutes’ walk. When Grace was just about to reach the bus station, the bus she was going to take just happened to pull over. Grace quickly jogged a little and got on the bus. Just as she had finished tapping her monthly travel pa** onto the scanner, there was the sound of rapid footsteps behind her and a figure got on the bus.
“I almost didn’t make it.” The voice that was like a night breeze rang in her ears.
Grace turned her head and saw Brian standing right behind her. “Why did you get on the bus?” she asked in surprise.
“Because I still want to send you home. Since you won’t take my car, I’ll take the bus with you,” he said.
Grace was shocked. Perhaps she had never expected Brian to take the bus with her.
“Please pay when you get on board,” reminded the driver as he pulled out of the bus station.
Brian fumbled in his pocket. He pulled out a 100-dollar bill and planned to throw it into the farebox. After all, the only small change he had was in that denomination.
“Wait”! Grace quickly stopped Brian. “Are you going to put in 100 dollars?”
“I only have 100 dollars,” Brian said lightly.
Grace pursed her lips a little. “Forget it. I’ll pay for you. You can put your money away.” With that, she took her monthly travel pa**
card and tapped it on the farebox machine before walking toward the middle of the bus.
It was not yet rush hour, and the bus was relatively empty, but there were no seats left.
Grace found a suitable position and stood, grabbing the bar on the back of a seat while Brian stood beside her.
“Speaking of which, I haven’t taken the bus for a long time. I’m experiencing it again today,” said Brian.
“You don’t have to send me home. I’m used to being alone and don’t need anyone to send me home,” said Grace.
“Are you really used to being alone? Or are you just not used to me sending you home?” he asked, looking at her with those dark. phoenix eyes that seemed to see through her.
Grace was stunned and turned away, avoiding his eyes. “Brian, don’t waste your time on me.”
His eyelashes fluttered a little at that. His pretty thin lips raised a self-deprecating smile. “Yeah, I’ve wasted a lot of time, and I’ve decided not to waste any more.”
After a pause, he once again said, “Grace, shall we wait and see?
Am I going to waste my whole life without getting a response? Or will you respond to me one day? Then all the time won’t be wasted.”
“You…” She jerked her head around, glaring at him with those almond-shaped eyes. “Is that necessary?”
He replied emphatically, “Yes, it is! Otherwise, I may regret it for the rest of my life.”
He had let her go more than once because of Jason and regretted it! If he had recognized how his heart truly felt and not let her go, could she have fallen in love with him instead of Jason?
He had let her go, and Jason had left a mark in her heart.
He regretted it. He regretted giving in and retreating.
