Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 963

Ben nodded in solidarity.

Like Mr. Farrell, he found Connor Stockert’s behavior laughable.

When Mrs. Farrell was alive, he gave her no hope and drove her to suicide.

Even after Mrs. Farrell died, Connor Stockert didn’t bother to visit her grave in Olkmore.

Now, after a lapse of twenty years, no one would think him affectionate, only that he was acting, or that he was doing it for himself.

And why?

Well, twenty years ago, after the death of Mrs. Farrell, Connor Stockert might have felt a little guilty. Connor Stockert’s quick cancellation of his wedding soon after Mrs. Farrell’s death showed that he felt guilty about her death.

After all, Connor Stockert was someone who loved Mrs. Farrell, and it was not reasonable to say that he felt no guilt.

But it was not a lot of guilt. Why else would Connor Stockert not have stepped foot on Olkmore for two decades to see Mrs. Farrell?

Now he came just to clear his mind of the tiny guilt that had existed for twenty years, so that he could put it down completely and feel freer.

Shame on men like that!

Ben thought in disgust.

“Did Connor Stockert ask anyone besides the detective agency and the Jefferson family about the location of my mother’s grave?” Jared asked in a cold voice, his eyes narrowed.

Ben collected his thoughts and nodded, “Yes, after Connor Stockert failed to find Mrs. Farrell’s grave at any of the agencies, he sent a special message to the Cohen family, which didn’t be answered. So, Connor Stockert finally found the Jefferson family.”

“The Cohen family certainly wouldn’t agree to meet him.” Jared smiled sardonically, “The things he did at the Capital, though there was no proof, everyone knew they were true. Mr. Cohen is an honest official. How could the Cohen family have anything to do with someone like him? Is there anything else?”

“No.” Ben shook his head, but then thought of something and hesitated.

Jared said impatiently, “Just say what you got.”

“Okay.” Ben answered quickly, and without hesitating, said, “I just don’t know if Connor Stockert ever asked the Zachary family. The Zachary family is in the Capital, and we have not paid attention to the Zachary family for a long time, so it is impossible for us to know if Connor Stockert visited the Zachary family.”

Jared snorted, “So what if he went to the Zachary family? Today, the Zachary family is no longer dominated by my mother’s clan. They weren’t even invited to my mother’s funeral. What’s the point of Connor Stockert going to the Zachary family? It’s still a waste of time.”

“That’s right.” Ben nodded.

“Anything else?” Jared rubbed his temples.

Ben coughed and said, “No, that’s all we know about Connor Stockert, but the people who are watching Connor Stockert said something else. They said that Connor Stockert’s assistant went out the day before yesterday, but he didn’t go to the detective office, and they lost track of where he went, so we don’t know what Connor Stockert’s assistant was doing out there that day.”

“Check it out.” Jared frowned.

“Okay.” Ben replied.

Jared pressed his lips together and said again, “Have you arranged for the bodyguards assigned to Goldstone Co. to replace the guards?”

Ben said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Mr. Farrell, when I received your orders, I arranged to do so early in the morning, and by this time they probably have made the transition to the Security department at Goldstone Co. by now.”

“Okay,” Jared said with satisfaction, “Yeah, and get some bodyguards at the old house and the Farrell’s Mansion, and beef up security there. I’m worried that Connor Stockert, if he couldn’t find my mother’s grave, would try to intimidate anyone close to me into telling him.”

“Okay, Mr. Farrell.” Ben nodded gravely and then said, “What about Miss Reed? Should I send some bodyguards over to her place?”

“No.” Jared waved his hand, “I’ve already made arrangements for her.”

“Okay.” Ben asked no more questions.

After all, Miss Amber was his own woman, and he said it had been arranged.
