Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 438

At noon the next day, Stella suddenly got a phone call, which was from the police station. The policeman said that Arthur went to Stella’s studio before he died and also contacted her several times, so they wanted to ask her about some information to see if they could find any clue.

After hanging up the phone, Stella stood up, picked up her purse, and walked out of the office.

Seeing her, Sherry asked, “Stella, where are you going?”

Stella answered, “Just now, the police station called me. They said Arthur Barnett came to our studio before and had some conflicts with me, so they asked me to cooperate with their investigation.”

Sherry frowned, “Why did they call you? You are a victim!”

Stella smiled faintly, “It’s alright. Just a written record. I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay. If you need any help, call me.”

“Sure.”

After Stella arrived at the police station, a policeman asked her about her identity. Then he asked about her relationship with Arthur. Finally, he asked when she had met Arthur for the last time.

Stella answered honestly.

After the record was done, the policeman nodded, “Thank you for your cooperation, Ms. Radomil.”

“You are welcome.” Stella paused and asked, “May I know... how the investigation is going now?”

When the policeman wanted to answer, Stella saw Modesty show up at the police station.

She cast Stella a glance and walked over. She said, “I’m Modesty Parker. I came here for the record.”

The policeman said to Stella, “Okay, that’s all for today. If there’s any investigation result, we’ll inform you in the future.”

“Okay. Thanks a lot, Sir.”

The policeman looked over at Modesty, “Please follow me.”

Modesty hummed, following him to leave as calm as usual.

Looking at her receding figure, Stella slightly pressed her lips, lost in thought.

After walking out of the police station, Stella didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she waited outside.

Modesty didn’t come out until an hour later.

Different from Stella, Modesty had a conflict with Arthur which was known by the public. Also, Arthur claimed that Modesty had hired someone to attack him before, which caused him to lie in the hospital for several days.

Hence, the death of Arthur made Modesty a key suspect.

However, just like what Stella had guessed - it could be only an adult man who could kill Arthur and dump his dead body. Not to mention to kill Arthur, Modesty could never win against him under any circumstance.

When the policeman questioned Modesty about the event that she hired someone to attack Arthur, she still answered in the same way as before. She denied that it had anything to do with her. Instead, she said it was Arthur who kept harassing her. He slandered her after he had failed.

Besides, there was no evidence to support Arthur’s claim, and the police also found out that Arthur had immoral behaviors according to their investigation, which matched what Modesty had said. After the inquiry, they set her free.

When Modesty walked out of the police station, she saw Stella standing not far away.

Clenching her fists tightly, Modesty didn’t look as calm as she entered the police station earlier.

She asked ironically, “Are you happy now?”

Stella asked slowly, “What should I be happy about?”
