Standing in the hall, Clarence's facial features became even colder, and his whole body was exuding intent to kill.
They were one step behind.
Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, it seems that Darnell is deliberately avoiding us.”
Clarence's face was cold without a word.
At this moment, Nathan saw something reflecting on the rectangular dining table.
He walked over and picked it up, then turned around to look at Clarence, “Mr. Conrad, look at this. Can you confirm
that whether this belonged to the young master?”
Clarence heard what he said and strode over.
What Nathan held in his hand was a longevity lock, which was put on by Mrs. Anderson.
Clarence took it, clasping it tightly in his palm.
They were taken away by Darnell as expected.
Nathan said tentatively, “Mr. Conrad...”
Clarence looked at the black car outside and said with a cold voice, “Tell the James family, if I don't see Stella and
the child before 8 a.m. tomorrow, I will throw her into the river.”
“Okay, I will call them right now.”
Not far away, Elaine James leaned on the car window, struggling to hear what they were saying, but she heard
nothing for they are far away.
Seeing them coming, she asked, “Have you found Darnell?”
Clarence looked directed into her eyes, without any expression.
Elaine was puzzled, but couldn't help but shrug her shoulder.
Half an hour later, Elaine's father got the news that Elaine was in Clarence's control and asked the James family to
hand over Stella before 8 am the next day.
Elaine’s father Franklin frowned, “What's wrong with Clarence and when was Elaine taken away from the birthday
party?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe subordinate said, “I just checked. Clarence has been in Riverside for two days. He seems to have been looking
for Darnell. Today he probably got the news that Darnell will go to Miss Elaine's birthday party, and then he went
there. As for how the missy was taken away by him...”
Franklin heard his pointless words, and sternly asked, “What the hell have you done at the birthday party? With so
many people, and you just watched him take our missy away?”
“No, the missy came with him voluntarily. We didn't get any news in advance and we didn't know what happened, so
when the lady left, no one stopped.”
Hearing that, Franklin sat on the sofa and took a deep breath, “Where is Darnell?”
“As you know, we have not been able to locate the exact location of Darnell, so... I don't know how to find him.”
“Tell Darnell the news, if anything happened to Elaine, I won't let him walk away!”
“Yes.”
Soon, the news reached Darnell.
Several members of the James family, led by Franklin, all put pressure on him. They demand him to resolve the
matter immediately and bring Elaine back to the James family.
Outside the laboratory, Archer said, “What should we do now, Clarence is probably not kidding. According to his
temper, he might really do it.”
Darnell put away his phone, “Tomorrow morning, send Stella back.”
“Can it work? He wants both of them.”
“If it doesn't work, just let him do whatever he wants to do. The river won’t kill Elaine anyway.”
Archer got speechless, “...”
Archer said again, “But Stella definitely doesn't want to leave, how do you plan to convince her.”
Darnell put one hand in his pocket, “She will go.”
“Why?”
“Let her take the child away and we will no longer provide any assistance. Or she can leave and leave the child here
so that he can continue to receive treatment. What do you think she will choose.”
Archer said, “I think you underestimated the importance of a child to a mother.”
Darnell chuckled lightly, “It is because of the importance that she will choose the best way for the child.”
Not knowing what he was thinking, Archer didn't say anything.
Darnell said, “Go and tell her what I said. Tell her to think about it and come out here. No matter what choice she
makes, no one will stop her.”
Archer complained, “How could you always leave me to do all the chores.”
After speaking, he turned and walked into the laboratory.
Darnell instructed his men on the side, “Get Vincent James here.”
Vincent was not far away, and he came to Darnell in no time.
Vincent said, “How is the child right now?”
“Just the way it is. The newly developed drugs can only suppress his symptoms, but cannot cure him. It is impossible
to cure him at present.”
Vincent frowned tightly, cursed, and then said, “Who the fuck did this?”
Darnell paused for a few seconds before saying, “You said that the medicine bottle was found in Joanna's room
before?”
Vincent nodded, “That's what Clarence said.”
“That's interesting.” Darnell said, “I became Joanna's accomplice. But now he’s dead and there is no evidence. I
really didn't know how to prove my innocence.”
“It's not just about this incident. When the child was taken away by the Conrad family, those men involved in that
were also from Riverside. After returning to Riverside, they were nowhere to be found. Your suspicion is very
serious.”
Darnell snorted, “It seems that they have been planning for a long time.”
Vincent fell into silence for a while, “I think someone deliberately place all the evidence around the Riverside. They
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbrought Clarence here for one reason.”
Darnell's eyes narrowed slightly.
Vincent continued, “Let him find out the truth of the incident years ago.”
Darnell looked at the distant scenery without speaking. He tapped his knees with his fingers, and then said, “How
long have you been working for Clarence.”
Vincent said lightly, “Eighteen years.”
Within two years after Clarence was taken back to the Conrad family, he was assigned to him in the name of
transfer and has been working for him ever since.
Darnell said, “You go back to City N secretly to find out how Joanna got the nutrition injection and who is behind all
of this. “
“Okay, I get it.”
Vincent was about to leave, Darnell stopped him, “There is one more thing.”
…
In the laboratory lounge, Stella sat on the sofa, leaning against the crib next to her, staring at the sleeping little guy
in a daze.
When she left, she put the lock of longevity that the little guy had been wearing in the private hall, and she didn't
know if Clarence had noticed it or not.
She could only indicate him in this way now.
Just when Stella was in a trance, the door of the lounge was opened and Archer walked in, “Hello, why are you still
awake?”
Stella looked up and looked at him blankly.
Archer walked in, “So, here’s the case, we don't think we can keep you here anymore.”
“I want to stay here.”
Knowing that he was wrong, Archer repeated what Darnell asked him to say awkwardly.
Then he said, “You are allowed to make any choice. Even if you take the child with you, we won't stop you.”
Stella's expression remained unchanged, “I don't trust you, so I won't choose either way.”
Archer didn't expect her to answer like this, scratching his head worriedly.
