Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 118 Don’t You Understand Your Man?

All colors drained from Stella’s face, and she tried to snatch the flash drive out of reflex while saying, “You have nothing to gain by doing this, Mrs. Levitt. There’s nothing which shows that Miles has a motive. Moreover, all that happened didn’t show that he had any murder intent.”

Snorting, Lizbeth said, “If he has no such intent, then why are you so pale?”

“I—” Stella thought that it was impossible for her to have the evidence in the flash drive. First of all, Miles wouldn’t be so careless and leave any trails behind. Secondly, how did she get hold of the flash drive? Another question, the construction site belonged to Miles, but how did she have the footage which even Miles didn’t have? It didn’t make any sense.

As Lizbeth was so aggressive now, she didn’t even have the opportunity to call Miles when she wanted to.

More and more, she felt that Lizbeth was trying to con her and wanted to lure the truth out of her. But there wouldn’t be any smoke without fire, so just exactly how did Lizbeth find out about it?

“Are you wondering how I got this flash drive? Someone recorded this secretly and gave it to me out of pity that I have to send my son off at this age!” she said with a snigger.

To Stella, these didn’t seem like the things Lizbeth would say. Furthermore, there was no mention of such things just a few days ago, so why did she bring it up now? Without a doubt, someone must have visited her during the past couple of days!

“Show me the flash drive. I haven’t heard anything about this, and Miles didn’t tell me anything, either,” she said, pointing to the flash drive.

She knew that this was the only evidence Lizbeth had in her hands. Also, if this footage was real, then who was the one who recorded it?

“Who’s the one who gave you that recording?” she asked while standing next to the table.

“Are you thinking of silencing me?”

“No!” she exclaimed. “It’s a fact that your son is no longer here, so why don’t you enjoy your remaining days instead of stirring up bloody events? How about I take care of you for the rest of your life if you give me the flash drive? What do you think?” Right now, she was having a psychological battle with her, and this battle depended on their mental strength.

More importantly, Stella had no idea if the footage was really in the flash drive or it was just a tool for Lizbeth to fool her!

Seeing how pale Stella was, Lizbeth knew that the flash drive was her best tool to control her. Subsequently, she tucked it into her pocket.

“Tell Miles to listen to everything I say from now. If he doesn’t, I’ll show him what I’m capable of!” she threatened menacingly.

Since a long time ago, she had already placed all the times when Stella took care of her when she was ill to the back of her mind. All she wanted to do now was to avenge her son.

If she wanted to blackmail Miles, then why did she look for her instead of negotiating with him directly?
