Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection - Season 3 Episode 40

Thinking of this, I turned to Walter and asked, “Could you help me get my phone back?” My phone had

been taken away before the

interrogation.

Upon seeing this, he looked at me, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, as if he had guessed what I

was about to do. He nodded, “Good!”

Seeing him inexplicably in a good mood, I was somewhat puzzled.

However, my mind was still focused on how to contact Sebastian, so I didn’t think much about it.

Walter had my phone back to me in a moment. Taking the phone, I immediately called Sebastian.

After the phone had rung for a moment, the other end picked up, and a few seconds later, Sebastian’s

voice came through, “Ms. Conner.”

I didn’t care about being polite anymore, I asked directly over the phone, “Sebastian, where is Henry’s

body?”

My words made the other party slightly stunned. After a moment, Sebastian said, “What’s wrong? What

happened? Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

I didn’t beat around the bush with him, I said directly, “Ashley reported me for murder and hiding a

body, I was detained by the police, and they are now looking for Henry’s body.”

The voice on the other end of the phone paused, then said, “You’ve been detained? Are you okay?”

Seeing him not getting to the point, I became somewhat anxious and said, “I’m fine, where did you put

Henry’s body?”

There seemed to be a moment of hesitation before the voice said, “The body… I don’t know, it was Mr.

Monroe who arranged for someone to handle it.”

“Daniel handled it?” I was astonished, my eyebrows furrowed in disbelief, “Didn’t you say before that

you handled it? How…”

Sebastian on the other end sounded somewhat helpless, “Originally, I was supposed to handle it, but

Mr. Monroe said that he had arranged for someone to take care of it. He claimed that the person he

arranged. would handle it more efficiently and cleanly than I would, so I handed it over to him.

Afterwards, he was afraid that you would feel indebted to him, so he didn’t let me tell you.”

I fell silent.

Looking at Walter in front of him, it was as if his brain had momentarily paused.

Seeing me look at him, Walter reached out and held my hand. The warm temperature of a man’s palm

relaxed my tense nerves a bit. He didn’t speak, but signaled me to continue with his eyes.

On the phone, I began, “So, are you with Mr. Monroe? Could you ask him where he put the body?”

The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a few seconds before saying, “Here’s what you do,

call Mr. Monroe. I was just assigned by Mr. Monroe to handle things over at Freyhedge, and I won’t be

able to return for a while. However, Mr. Monroe is in the country. You call him and ask him.”

I frowned, Sebastian went to Freyhedge?

I took a breath, helplessly, and could only say, “Okay!”

Hanging up the phone, Walter looked at me and said, “No wonder the police couldn’t find him.”

I wondered, “Had Captain Lucas gone to find Sebastian?”

He nodded, “When you were taken to the police station by the police, he had already arranged for

someone to look for you.”

I pursed my lips, feeling somewhat chaotic inside.

Looking at me, he actually seemed to calm down a bit and said, “Since it’s a body hidden by Daniel,

then call Daniel.”

I nodded, and redialed Daniel’s number. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Holding the phone, my palms were sweaty with nervousness. Daniel was not like Sebastian, I knew

even less about him than I did about Sebastian. Moreover, up until now, I had only interacted with him a

couple of times.

If I had gotten through on the phone, I wouldn’t have known what to ask him for a moment.

I was in a dilemma when the call was answered. A man’s cold and deep voice came from the other

end, “Ms. Conner, hello.”

After a moment of hesitation, I found my voice. I pursed my lips and spoke into the phone, “Mr. Monroe,

hello, are you available now? I need to talk to you about something.”

The voice from the other end was still cold, “Hmm, you speak.”

Over the phone, I naturally couldn’t discern Daniel’s expression. I took a quiet breath and asked, “Mr.

Monroe, was it you who arranged Henry’s body?”

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, then a single word came back to me. “Hmm!”

Hearing his response, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Can you tell me where you put his body?

I’ve run into some trouble here, the police are onto me, and Henry’s death has been exposed.”

I was somewhat flustered, not knowing what to say for a moment, and almost started to babble.

Daniel on the other end of the phone seemed very calm. He didn’t

answer my question, but instead asked irrelevantly, “Are you with your husband now?”
