Chapter 1598

Karen glanced at the documents and felt a twinge in her heart. She hadn’t expected Stella to

investigate this after so many

years. But she quickly composed herself, pretending not to know anything, reaching out for the

documents with a surprised expression.

“Oh, I don’t know. Why would he give those thugs money?” Karen took the documents, furrowing her

brows and flipping through them. Stella sat opposite her, silently observing Karen, trying to detect any

hint of emotions on her face. She could sense a hint of anger in Karen’s eyes and eyebrows.

“That ba stard Bart, why would he give those bullies money who used to torment you?” After finishing

reading the documents, Karen became so angry that she threw them away. Her elegant body trembled,

clearly furious.

“If that ba stard hadn’t died two years ago, I would definitely bring him here and ask him why he did

this.” Indeed, Bart had passed away, making it impossible to confront him. Otherwise, Stella could have

simply sought help from Andre, captured Bart, found evidence, and then confronted Karen. Karen

would have had nothing to say. So why bother coming here to extract information from her?

Stella stared at the furious Karen and remained silent for a few

those people after they were released from prison. This proves that he was the one behind it.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have a reason to give them money.”

Karen’s emotions flickered in her eyes, but she didn’t show it. “Wasn’t Eric the mastermind? He

admitted it himself when we interrogated him. How could it be your uncle? Maybe Bart owed those

thugs money, so he sent them the money after they were released. You know what desperate people

like them are capable of. Perhaps your gambling-addicted uncle was afraid of being hunted down by

them, so he gave them the money.”

Karen found a reasonable excuse for Bart, but Stella didn’t believe it. “Aunt, those thugs were

associated with Eric. They’re much younger than your uncle. How could your uncle borrow money from

them? Besides, your uncle always gambles abroad. How could he dare to have any dealings with these

people? And those thugs don’t have much money. Why would your uncle borrow money from them?”

Karen was somewhat speechless under interrogation but refused to admit it. “Stella, I really don’t know

much about your uncle’s affairs. He never told me who he associated with, who he gambled with, or

how much money he owed. He always just asked me for money… Perhaps your uncle did have contact

with Eric’s people in secret. Perhaps Eric bribed your uncle and made him do something to hurt you.

You know your uncle had a lot of gambling debts. When I refused to lend him money, he got angry and

went to see Eric. It’s possible they conspired together.”

to get the truth about why

Bart made the payments from Karen. So she decided to play the emotional card. “Aunt, you should

know about Bart’s situation. He relied on you his whole life. If he really was bribed by Eric and did

something bad to me, he would have definitely told you. Now that Eric is dead and our grievances have

been settled, I won’t argue with you over his actions or blame you for hiding anything. I just want to

know the truth.”

Karen calmly looked at Stella and saw the respectful and friendly gaze, just like before, without a hint of

hatred. Her heart softened slightly, but she shook her head. “Stella, I really don’t know why your uncle

would give money to those thugs.”

After saying that, she let out a long sigh. “Now that Bart is dead, no one knows why he did this. But if

you say he was the mastermind, I find it hard to believe. After all, Eric really did admit to sending

people back then.”

If Karen now agreed with Stella’s words and said that Bart was the mastermind, Stella would suspect

that Karen was somehow involved herself. So Karen decided to push the blame onto Eric. After all, Eric

did have such intentions back then, even if it was just to scare Stella. What harm would it do to go

along with it?
