Love At The Next Stop Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Send Him to Jail

This was merely a small, common case of a construction site accident. In a city as vibrant and lively as Murdough, it was just another grain of salt in the sea which didn’t cause any ripple on the water surface. The sun was as bright as usual, and the skies were blue as it normally was, while the people went about with their bustling lives normally; nothing felt out of place at all.

It was Lizbeth who had called her, saying that an accident happened to Zane at the construction site. Although it was exactly what Stella had expected, she was still shocked. Crying over the phone, Lizbeth said that her son had passed away just after her husband, and she had to send her son off at this age. Not only that, she was also a cancer patient with a huge medical bill, so she really didn’t know what she should do now.

Stella could only comfort her, but she didn’t say anything else.

According to Lizbeth, Zane went to the site where the concrete had yet to dry completely, and he fell from the top when he was trying to dodge a piece of the concrete which fell above his head!

It had nothing to do with Miles at all, and no one else was related to this incident.

However, Stella knew for sure that there were other details within; she just kept it to herself.

Although she hated Zane for always pushing her into a corner, Lizbeth was in a difficult spot now that he was really dead.

It was her and Lizbeth who arranged for Zane’s burial, and Miles wasn’t there at his grave during the burial.

On the surface, the matter really seemed like it had nothing to do with him. Furthermore, he wasn’t even friends with Zane, so it was normal that he didn’t show up.

Since Zane didn’t have anyone else in Hollowcrest, he was buried in Murdough. The burial site was pricey, but he had some savings with Lizbeth. Stella was the only person who was rather close to him, and he didn’t have other relatives besides her. Even Julia, who was once in an alliance with him, didn’t show up. During such a time, she was afraid to have anything to do with him.

Once, Stella went to meet Nancy, and they chatted away until their conversation led to this topic. “Miles was the one who found this sub-contractor,” she said. “It has nothing much to do with Miller Corp, but I heard that this sub-contractor left behind an elderly mother. So, Miles gave her two hundred thousand.”

Thus, this matter was considered a closed case.

As Stella was afraid to hear any news that Miles had anything to do with Zane’s death, she didn’t contact him, and neither did he.

News of Zane’s accidental death spread across Murdough very quickly. Matthew also called to ask her how she was doing and advised her not to think about it too much. In fact, he had imagined all sorts of horrible deaths for Zane when he was still alive, but when it came so early, he was rather surprised.

Stella replied that she didn’t think too much; she was already angry at him for selling a batch of her steel materials, and he received just his desserts. Despite that, she wasn’t expecting that he would die such a horrible death, and Lizbeth was rather pitiable as well. After all, she was already this old, and she had no one by her side now.
