The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1598
Karen glanced at the documents and felt a twinge in her heart. She hadn’t expected Stella to investigate this after so many
years. But she quickly composed herself, pretending not to know anything, reaching out for the documents with a surprised expression.
“Oh, I don’t know. Why would he give those thugs money?” Karen took the documents, furrowing her brows and flipping through them. Stella sat opposite her, silently observing Karen, trying to detect any hint of emotions on her face. She could sense a hint of anger in Karen’s eyes and eyebrows.

“That ba stard Bart, why would he give those bullies money who used to torment you?” After finishing reading the documents, Karen became so angry that she threw them away. Her elegant body trembled, clearly furious.
“If that ba stard hadn’t died two years ago, I would definitely bring him here and ask him why he did this.” Indeed, Bart had passed away, making it impossible to confront him. Otherwise, Stella could have simply sought help from Andre, captured Bart, found evidence, and then confronted Karen. Karen would have had nothing to say. So why bother coming here to extract information from her?
Stella stared at the furious Karen and remained silent for a few
those people after they were released from prison. This proves that he was the one behind it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have a reason to give them money.”
Karen’s emotions flickered in her eyes, but she didn’t show it. “Wasn’t Eric the mastermind? He admitted it himself when we interrogated him. How could it be your uncle? Maybe Bart owed those thugs money, so he sent them the money after they were released. You know what desperate people like them are capable of. Perhaps your gambling-addicted uncle was afraid of being hunted down by them, so he gave them the money.”
Karen found a reasonable excuse for Bart, but Stella didn’t believe it. “Aunt, those thugs were associated with Eric. They’re much younger than your uncle. How could your uncle borrow money from them? Besides, your uncle always gambles abroad. How could he dare to have any dealings with these people? And those thugs don’t have much money. Why would your uncle borrow money from them?”
Karen was somewhat speechless under interrogation but refused to admit it. “Stella, I really don’t know much about your uncle’s affairs. He never told me who he associated with, who he gambled with, or how much money he owed. He always just asked me for money… Perhaps your uncle did have contact with Eric’s people in secret. Perhaps Eric bribed your uncle and made him do something to hurt you. You know your uncle had a lot of gambling debts. When I refused to lend him money, he got angry and went to see Eric. It’s possible they conspired together.”
