After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 381

There was no one in the living room when I opened the door. Could it be that Steven really isn't at home?

I couldn't help but frown in bewilderment. When I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed that Steven's bedroom wasn't closed properly. It turned out that Steven was hiding in his bedroom.

Feeling a bit angry, I strode toward the bedroom and pushed the door open. Apart from Steven, I was shocked to see Dad and Mom inside.

“Dad, Mom, why are you here? I knocked on the door many times just now. Why didn't you open the door?”

At that moment, I was overwhelmed by confusion. After all, everyone was at home, yet no one opened the door for me.

“Anna, why have you come here?”

Steven was seemingly afraid of something and did not look into my eyes as he spoke. I didn't have to be a genius to know that he acted strangely.

“Exactly. Why have you come here all of a sudden? Aren't you supposed to be staying in the hospital to take care of your mother-in-law?” Mom came up to me and asked carefully.

In the meantime, Dad merely frowned and didn't utter a word.

Since everyone acted bizarrely, I couldn't help but recall Steven's conversation with me over the phone. Earlier, he suddenly called and asked me about Josephine's condition. As such, I had a sneaking suspicion that something was wrong.

“Steven, I'm here to ask whether what happened to Mrs. Shaw is related to you. Did you go to the mansion?” I looked into Steven's eyes and asked in a serious tone.

Surprisingly, Steven's body shivered, and a hint of guilt flashed across his eyes.

“Anna, what did you say? How could it be related to me? I didn't go to your house yesterday morning,” Steven replied nervously and continued to avoid my gaze.

“I didn't tell you that Mrs. Shaw was injured yesterday morning. How did you know it?” I questioned Steven coldly once I noticed that he had a slip of the tongue.

I had never told anyone that Josephine was injured yesterday morning. Besides, the exact time when Josephine was hurt was not reported in the news. Therefore, Steven's knowledge about it confirmed my suspicion that he was involved.

“I... I merely made a guess. Anna, I'm your brother. How can you suspect me for no reason?”

Steven gave me an unconvincing reason and stared at me in anger.

Without responding to Steven, I continued to stare at him in the hope of getting more clues from his expression.

Once I noticed that a button on Steven's shirt was missing, my heart skipped a beat. The other buttons looked the same as the one Josephine held in her hand.

“Steven, you're lying. Was Mrs. Shaw injured because of you?” Staring at Steven, I suppressed the anger within me and asked coldly.

“Anna, I'll be angry if you keep talking nonsense. Besides, I'm your brother. How can you hurl some random accusations against me?” Steven questioned me furiously.

Although he was loud, I could still sense the hint of guilt in his voice.

Since I had confirmed that Steven did it, what he said couldn't move me. Nonetheless, I found it difficult to believe that the incident was related to him.

Moreover, I didn't know how I could face Michael after he learned that Steven was involved.

“Steven, how dare you continue to lie? Look at this!” I shouted furiously.

The next moment, I took out a button that looked the same as the other buttons on Steven's shirt.

At that moment, I was infuriated and almost felt like killing Steven.

Steven was stunned once he saw the button in my hand. Then, he nervously checked the buttons on his shirt. His confidence shattered when he realized that one of the buttons had fallen off.

As Steven remained silent, my heart was filled with rage. In the meantime, Dad and Mom's expressions also changed.

“Steven, what do you have to say now? This button comes from your shirt!” I threw the button on Steven and bellowed at him.

At that moment, I finally couldn't suppress my anger and disappointment. Even more so, I couldn't imagine how I could face Michael and the Shaw family if they knew that Steven was the one who did it.
