Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 529

Besides, he was only suspecting Cody. He could not be completely sure that he was the cause of Grandpa's death.

Kevan drank another cup of tea before finding an excuse to leave Pine Mansion.

The moment he got in the car, he called Dylan. "Don't you have a high school friend in the criminal investigation unit? I want him to help me out with something."

In the afternoon, Larissa was about to leave the hotel when she got a complaint from a VIP guest. This guest was rather hard to deal with. When she was finished, two had already passed.

She hurried to the kindergarten. Aster was still with two other kids in the classroom, reading children's books under Ella's lead.

Upon seeing Larissa, Ella greeted her as usual but did not tell Aster to pack his things and go with her.

"Ma'am, let's talk outside." Ella's expression was a little serious, and Larissa's heart sank at once.

Aster watched them in confusion not far away, and he did not look guilty as one would normally look after making a mistake.

That only deepened the puzzlement that Larissa felt. "What's wrong, Ms. Gilmore?" she asked.

Ella led her further away until she was certain that their conversation could not be overheard by the kids in the classroom. "An unknown man came over to pick Aster up today. He said that he was your friend."

She had never asked anyone to help pick Aster up. If it was not Kevan and Dylan … She began to feel tense.

Could it be … Ruby Cole again?

Ella frowned as she tried her best to remember. "Tall and thin, and he looks like your average guy. Beady eyes and a buzz cut. Doesn't sound like a Bartham local from his accent."

Her description was too abstract. Larissa could match up several people she knew to that description, but none of those people had a reason to pick Aster up behind her back. She looked up and found a surveillance camera on the top of the classroom's main door.

Pointing at the camera, she asked, "Could I see the footage from this camera?"
