Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)
Chapter 155 It's Too Dirty

"What are you doing here?" In a room of the Shaw family's mansion, Kirk was rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Sam stood at the door with a tray in his hand and looked at Kirk coldly for a while. Then he stopped him loudly.

Hearing the sudden sound, Kirk was slightly startled, then turned his head to have a look. "Ah. It's you."

Sam's gray eyebrows trembled slightly. Then he looked down inch by inch and stared at the notebook in Kirk's hand. "What are you holding?"

"Oh, this? This is Ms. Venus's class contact book."

"What are you going to do with it?"

"Of course..." Kirk was about to explain but someone suddenly called him, "Kirk, hurry up, we are waiting for you." When he looked up, Ladd was walking towards him and Sam.

Kirk wasn't stupid. He didn't have anyhting to do with them. Ladd just deliberately interrupted him and Sam... After giving it some thought, he understood, "Oh." He answered, "Sam, I have something to do. Let's talk later."

Sam had always been serious and stern. He looked confused. His dark eyes rolled. "Wallis's class contact book... What does he want to do with that?"

With doubts in his mind, Sam turned and strode away. Instead of chasing Kirk to question him, he walked quickly to his own bedroom in the mansion.

When he got into his bedroom, he locked the door behind him. His brows knitted. After thinking for a moment, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number that he hadn't dialed for a long time.

There was a ridicule on the other end of the phone: "Oh, I was thinking who was calling me. Sam, what do you want to do?" Clearly, the voice of the man on the other end had a slight contempt for Sam. Sam furrowed his eyebrows and didn't care about the ridicule and contempt of the person on the phone. He hurriedly said, "Kirk just entered the utility room and took away Wallis's class contact book. Something is wrong. You have to help and see what he is going to do."

"Ha-ha. Sam, you know that Kirk is his man. Kirk is a bodyguard, and he will not come to replace the book for no reason. The only possibility for Kirk to do is that his master has ordered him to do a new task." Now, there was uncontrollable anger on Sam's face. He shouted depressively at the man on the phone, "Wallis is dead!"

Wallis was dead. She was buried deep under the ground.

Why did they have to replace the contact book of that year!

"Okay, Sam, I will help you to replace out what your master wants to do." As he said, the man on the other end suddenly chuckled, "But if you do this, will you be regarded as betraying your master?" How could a servant secretly investigate his master?

Sam darkened his face and shouted rudely, "Mind your own business. I'm telling you, Kern Lo, we're the same people. Neither of us is better. We both have dirt on us. You have an ulterior motive. But I only did it for my poor daughter who died young."

Kern smiled silently on the other end of the phone. He didn't know what he was laughing, but deep in his eyes, there was clearly a contempt for Sam... He put it nicely, claiming that he did it for his daughter who died young. Which of those things that he did behind the scenes was not ten times more terrifying than the things that his precious daughter suffered?

However, this was none of his business.

There were too many pitiful people in the world. Did he need to be so sympathetic to help them one by one?

It was all because of Grace's bad luck. How come she met such a venomous woman like Wallis Venus?

"Sam, you don't have to irritate me with that. I will do it if it's good for me. I won't say it if it's bad for me."

Sam squinted his eyes and got the verbal assurance from Kern. He felt relieved, but he wanted to be more emotional. "Please bear me for my grief because my child died before me. Kern, you should be able to understand my feelings of losing my beloved daughter. You understand the feeling of losing the important people and things in life.

"Kern, you shouldn't have had the surname-Lo. You should have been outstanding and dazzling..."

"Shut up!" On the other end of the phone, Kern gritted his teeth. "Sam, who do you think you are? Do you think you, a dog raised by the Shaw family, can judge me?"

"It was none of your business what my surname should be."

"Whatever my last name was, I will be outstanding! It has nothing to do with my last name!"

"Boom!"

The phone in Kern's hand was placed heavily on the desk. His eyes blazed with fury.

That face, no matter how he looked at it, was a bit familiar. On his desk, there was an upside-down photo frame. Kern lifted the frame. The photo in the frame was shocking!

"Caden Shaw!" He gritted his teeth. The resentment in his eyes was clear. With a loud bang, he thumped the golden-framed nanmu desk. His eyes were cold. He said viciously, "Let's wait and see!"

He suddenly stood up. He was extremely tall, which was about Caden's height. He picked up the car key on the table and strode out of the room.

On the other side, Kirk and Ladd walked side by side. "Why did you appear in the room just now?"

Kirk asked Ladd, but in fact he wasn't really asking. Why did Ladd suddenly appear there? What Kirk really wanted to ask was why Ladd tried to stop him from telling Sam the truth.

"Kirk," Ladd paused and faced Kirk directly, "Don't you know it? Since the thing Boss asked you to investigate was something that happened three years ago, it must involve Wallis Venus. Sam is the father of Wallis. He must have something to do with it."

"Just now...if I didn't interrupt, Kirk," Ladd's resolute face became more serious. He was staring at Kirk in front of him. "You just wanted to do it anyway and try to tell Sam what the boss wants to do, right? Kirk's complexion changed suddenly. He became serious and shouted, "What are you talking about! How could I deliberately tell Sam that Boss was going to investigate the case three years ago!" As soon as he finished his words, Kirk's stern face changed drastically! All of a sudden, his face turned pale. ...He didn't dare to look into Ladd's eyes. Ladd showed an expression like "I knew it". Kirk gritted his teeth... "Are you trying to trick me?"

"Kirk, if you aren't really negligent and didn't fail to sort out the conflict between Sam and this matter, how could I trick you to tell the truth?"

"What did you just say?Why would you deliberately tell Sam that the boss wanted to investigate the case three years ago? ... You also know that Sam shouldn't be informed about this?" "Kirk, I know that you feel sad because Ms. Venus passed away... but Kirk! Even if Ms. Venus is alive, it is impossible for you to be with her!"

Kirk's face was pale. "Shut up! I never have that thought about Ms. Venus! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Kirk, you said you didn't, then why do you keep targeting Ms. James again and again?"

Kirk's face was grim. "I just can't bear that woman who relies on her own status does all the evil things and hurts people's lives. She is poisonous. The good people in this world can't live long. But these evil people are left for thousands of years!"

"Enough! Kirk! Boss asked you to investigate the incident of the year, which means that Boss thinks that there is something hidden... You are now accusing Ms. James. Isn't it too unreasonable?" Ladd looked a Kirk with grief.

"Kirk, I won't tell anything about what happened today. But you must put aside your prejudices and carefully investigate what happened back then."

Kirk glanced at Ladd deeply. "I won't do that! I will do whatever the boss orders me to do! As for how much I can replace, I don't know."

"After three years, things were not easy to investigate now. Those gangsters were nowhere to be found. The only person who knew this was Grace. There is only one place where I can start. Maybe Ms. Venus's classmates will know something."

Kirk called to meet them one by one according to the class contact book.

In a cafe, four girls were sitting at a coffee table. There was a man in a suit at the same table, who was Kirk.

"Think about it again, was there anything special at that time? Did Wallis Venus say anything?"

The four girls frowned. "No, I really don't remember."

Their table was by the window, which was in a small half-opened booth. They didn't know that in the booth next to them, a man with slender figure was sitting while stroking the coffee cup elegantly in his hand and listening to the conversation in the next booth.

Kirk pursed his lips and stood up. "You can go back and think about it carefully. If you think of anything, call this number." Several business cards were pushed to the four girls. "I'm leaving now. I have already paid the bill. Please enjoy the coffee."

Kirk passed by the entrance of the booth next to him, but didn't see anyone inside.

Kern Lo's thin lips lightly curved. A ironic smile appeared on his face... "Caden, why bother?"

Since you knew that you would fall in love with her today, why did you had to be so cruel back then?

What kind of person was Kern? He was a particularly shrewd man who only needed to hear the whole story and he could speculate a lot of things. For example, through Kirk's actions, he could figure that Caden liked Grace.

"At the beginning, I thought that the 'good girl' with an angle-like face and vicious heart was Caden's weakness, but it turned out that I was wrong. No wonder... It's no wonder that Caden was indifferent when the 'good girl' died of humiliation."

"It turns out that I made a mistake." Kern sneered, "It's fine, it's fine."

He took out his mobile phone. "I found it. I reckon your master likes the enemy who murdered your daughter."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of things being thrown to the ground.

On the other end of the phone, Sam's hand softened. The phone wasn't held firmly, so it fell to the ground. His pupils were dilated. He breathed heavily. His lips went pale... After a long while, he bent down tremblingly and picked up the phone on the ground. "Kirk is investigating what happened back then."

What Sam said was a declarative sentence, not a rhetorical question.

"Humph." Kern couldn't help but gloat. "I don't know if he can replace out what happened back then. But since he want to check what happened in the past, he will have to investigate what happened in these three years. Sam, you have to hurry up and wipe your ass."

After speaking, Kern hung up the phone.

He might be going to investigate the tricks in the prison if he wanted to know what happened in these three years.

These things were unexplicably dirty!

Sam hurriedly changed his clothes and walked out.

He knew very well that he was racing against time now!

And what he relied on was nothing more than his relation with Caden for taking care of him over the past few decades and Caden's trust to him.

Once the trust was ruined... Sam dare not imagine what would happen!
