Chapter 900 Jared's Worries

Alice was stunned, staring at Connor Stockert. She clearly had no idea that Connor Stockert would keep her here for a while just to punish her!

"Mr. Stockert, you can't do this! You can't do this!"

After a while, Alice came to her consciousness, her eyes bulging, begging Connor Stockert, "Mr. Stockert, please, don't leave me here. I'm sorry. I won't disobey you anymore, really! So, please get me out of here! Get me out of here!"

Connor Stockert listened unfathomably to Alice's desperate pleas.

He got up on his crutches and walked to the door of the holding cell without looking at Alice, who was shackled to her wheelchair and unable to get up. As he walked, he said, without looking back, 'I'll say it again. You do wrong and you pay the price. You disobeyed me, and I let you stay here for a while, which is already my mercy. So, you should be glad you're still useful. Otherwise, when you go to jail, I'll have them kill you quietly without Jared or anyone else!"

This choked Alice's supplication. She looked at Connor Stockert's back in horror, shaking violently.

This man tried to kill her!

Yes, for this sinister old man, if she was of no use to him, he would not have kept her.

So now she was glad she was useful enough to keep the old man from killing her.

But she knew that once the old man's future goals were accomplished, she would be of no use to him. Then she wouldn't be able to escape this old man.

Alice shuddered at the thought, afraid to ask for help.

Because there was no point.

She was even afraid that her cry for help would irritate the old man, who would now lose his patience and kill her.

That would be more than worth it.

So, she might as well suck it up here for a while.

It was tough in a mental hospital, but she made it through two months. She was sure she wouldn't stay here any longer than in the mental hospital!

Alice quieted down completely and dropped her head.

Connor Stockert was surprised to see her calm down.

But soon Connor Stockert was laughing, "I see you've figured out your consequences, and you're starting to understand the rules. Good. That's good. Keep it up."

With that, Connor Stockert walked out with Mr. Oller.

Alice stared in the direction of his departure, her teeth gnashing, "Just wait, old man. You have something on me, so now you can threaten me. If I catch something on you, I'll kill you first!"

Connor Stockert walked out of the police station, unaware that Alice had a grudge against him. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples as he got into the car.

Mr. Oller put on his seat belt and turned around, "Boss, are we going back to the hotel?"

Connor Stockert opens his eyes, which was filled with incomprehensible emotion, "Haven't you found the cemetery where

Janice is buried?"

Hearing that, Mr. Oller lowered his head and did not dare to look at him, "I'm sorry, boss, but not yet. The Farrell family hid Miss Zachary's mausoleum too well. It's like no one's visited Miss Zachary in over a decade. So far, none of our people have been able to find out where Miss Zachary is buried unless they ask the Farrell family. But I think even the Farrell family, there are only two people who know where it is. Jared and the Old Mrs. Farrell."

The woman Hendrik Farrell married and the kid she had probably didn't know anything about it.

Connor Stockert didn't say a word. He just twiddled his ring and was thinking about something.

After a while, he let go of the ring and waved his hand, "Go back to the hotel."

"Okay." Mr. Oller said and started the car.

Kelsington Bay.

Jared left the meeting in the middle, leaving a conference room full of disgruntled executives, and drove up quickly.

When he opened the door, he ran straight the living room without changing his shoes.

Amber heard the noise and got up from the couch, turning her head toward the entrance.

Seeing the man in a hurry, she cried out with a smile, "Jared."

Before she had finished her sentence, the man suddenly appeared in front of her like a bolt of black lightning and hugged

her tightly, as if she would suddenly disappear if he let go alittle.

Sensing the man's nervousness, Amber's smile faded, replaced by concern.

She raised her hand, patted the man's tight back, and asked softly, "What's the matter? Why do you look like something happened?"

Jared heard her voice and gradually came out of the tension.

He loosened his grip on her slightly, then released her slowly and looked down at her. Instead of answering her question,

he asked, "Are you okay? Did Connor Stockert do anything to you?"

He took her by the shoulders with both hands, and looked her up and down, fearing that she might be hurt somewhere.

Amber then realized that Jared's sudden nervousness was due to his concem that she was not being taken advantage of by Connor Stockert. There was warmth in her heart.

She took his hand off her shoulder and shook her head in it, "'m fine. At first, I was afraid Connor Stockert and his assistant were going to hit me, but they didn't. They just talked to me and left."

Jared was relieved to hear that and hugged her back into his arms, "Good. You have no idea how worried I was when I heard you say Connor Stockert was here to see you, so I hung up the phone and I came straight here."

Amber blinked and a look of realization came over her face, "So when I told you that Connor Stockert came to see me, the phone was cut off not because your phone was dead, but because you hung up?"

After Connor Stockert left, she went back to her apartment and called Jared to let him know that Connor Stockert had

come.

But as soon as she said that, the call was cut off.

The call ended so suddenly and without a sound that she thought it was Jared's phone that just happened to run out of

battery.

She didn't realize he was the one who hung up.

"It's me" Jared nodded, "When I knew Connor Stockert came to see you, I was worried about you, so I hung up the phone

and came to you."

"What about your work?" Amber looked at him.

Jared rubbed her hair, "Of course your safety is more important than the work."

Amber blushed.

Jared pulled her back down on the couch and asked her what was going on, "What did Connor Stockert come and tell

you?"

"He's just trying to making a deal with me, trying to get me to cut Alice some slack." Amber replied.

Jared said, "And you said no!"

Amber shook her head, "Of course I didn't say yes. I can't say yes to something like that. Wouldn't it make me look afraid of

him if I said yes? Doesn't that make me seem even more vulnerable? That's why I wouldn't say yes to anything, and not only did I not

say yes, I played him a trick."

At this point, she laughed.

Jared frowned, "A trick?"

"Yeah." Amber nodded.

"How did you play him a trick?" Jared looked at her.

Amber pursed her lips. "He asked me to spare Alice, and I said no. Then he made me an offer and said I could have

anything I wanted. I said I wanted the Stockert Group, and he turned on me right away. Isn't it funny?"
