Chapter 240 It Was Daniel Who Handled It 

Thinking of this, I turned to Walter and asked, “Could you help me get my phone back?” My phone had been taken away before the 

interrogation. 

Upon seeing this, he looked at me, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, as if he had guessed what I was about to do. He nodded, “Good!” 

Seeing him inexplicably in a good mood, I was somewhat puzzled. 

However, my mind was still focused on how to contact Sebastian, so I didn’t think much about it. 

Walter had my phone back to me in a moment. Taking the phone, I immediately called Sebastian. 

After the phone had rung for a moment, the other end picked up, and a few seconds later, Sebastian’s voice came through, “Ms. Conner.” 

I didn’t care about being polite anymore, I asked directly over the phone, “Sebastian, where is Henry’s body?” 

My words made the other party slightly stunned. After a moment, Sebastian said, “What’s wrong? What happened? Why are you suddenly asking about this?” 

I didn’t beat around the bush with him, I said directly, “Ashley reported me for murder and hiding a body, I was detained by the police, and they are now looking for Henry’s body.” 

The voice on the other end of the phone paused, then said, “You’ve been detained? Are you okay?” 

Seeing him not getting to the point, I became somewhat anxious and said, “I’m fine, where did you put Henry’s body?” 

There seemed to be a moment of hesitation before the voice said, “The body… I don’t know, it was Mr. Monroe who arranged for someone to handle it.” 

“Daniel handled it?” I was astonished, my eyebrows furrowed in disbelief, “Didn’t you say before that you handled it? How…” 

Sebastian on the other end sounded somewhat helpless, “Originally, I was supposed to handle it, but Mr. Monroe said that he had arranged for someone to take care of it. He claimed that the person he arranged. would handle it more efficiently and cleanly than I would, so I handed it over to him. Afterwards, he was afraid that you would feel indebted to him, so he didn’t let me tell you.” 

I fell silent. 

Looking at Walter in front of him, it was as if his brain had momentarily paused. 

Seeing me look at him, Walter reached out and held my hand. The warm temperature of a man’s palm relaxed my tense nerves a bit. He didn’t speak, but signaled me to continue with his eyes. 

On the phone, I began, “So, are you with Mr. Monroe? Could you ask him where he put the body?” 

The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a few seconds before saying, “Here’s what you do, call Mr. Monroe. I was just assigned by Mr. Monroe to handle things over at Freyhedge, and I won’t be able to return for a while. However, Mr. Monroe is in the country. You call him and ask him.” 

I frowned, Sebastian went to Freyhedge?

I took a breath, helplessly, and could only say, “Okay!” 

Hanging up the phone, Walter looked at me and said, “No wonder the police couldn’t find him.” 

I wondered, “Had Captain Lucas gone to find Sebastian?” 

He nodded, “When you were taken to the police station by the police, he had already arranged for someone to look for you.” 

I pursed my lips, feeling somewhat chaotic inside. 

Looking at me, he actually seemed to calm down a bit and said, “Since it’s a body hidden by Daniel, then call Daniel.” 

I nodded, and redialed Daniel’s number. 

Holding the phone, my palms were sweaty with nervousness. Daniel was not like Sebastian, I knew even less about him than I did about Sebastian. Moreover, up until now, I had only interacted with him a couple of times.
