At the Saun residence, after Wenham had a cup of ginger lemon tea to sober up, Darcie helped him upstairs to rest.
The maids cleaned up the mess they had made.
Trevor came out from the washroom and saw Jaylene holding the photo album from Stella’s childhood.
Her fingers clenched tightly on the album. However, her facial expression was concealed in the shadows, making it difficult to discern.
Nevertheless, her protruding knuckles revealed her current unsettled emotions.
Trevor did not say anything as he quietly watched her from afar.
After staring at the album for a few seconds, Jaylene slammed it onto the table.
Then, she turned around and went upstairs.
Once she walked away, Trevor walked over and picked up the album.
The leather cover still bore the imprints of Jaylene’s forceful grip from earlier.
Trevor silently smoothed out those marks and then opened the album.
He intended to look at Stella’s childhood photos. However, as he flipped through the pages, he noticed something.
‘Where’s the photo where Stella was covered in mud?’ He frowned and flipped through the album from the first page again. ‘It’s not here,’ Trevor thought to himself.
He then turned to the maid, who was cleaning the table, and asked, “Besides Jaylene, has anyone else touched this album?”
The maid thought for a moment and answered, “Mr. Kane flipped through it. At that time, you and Mr. Wenham Saun had gone out to move things into Ms.
Saun’s car. Mr. Kane looked through it for a while.
Trevor’s eyelid twitched. ‘Did he steal that photo? How civilized of him.’ Trevor thought to himself.
He pulled out several photos from the album, then closed it and put it back in the box. He told the maid, “If my dad asks about the photos, tell him I took a few to put in my office.”
“Sure, Mr. Saun.”
Having stayed up late and being drunk, Keegan slept exceptionally soundly that night. When he opened his eyes, it was already very bright outside.
