Chapter 340
Steven cooperated with the authorities and was taken away without resistance.
The Garcia family paid compensation to the families, and since Steven was a minor at the time, he was only detained for three days before being
released.
But the troublemakers weren’t so lucky. Steven’s actions left them with a huge psychological scar. Plus, everyone found out they stole Claire medicine, nearly killing her. They were subsequently isolated at school.
Within a year, all six kids transferred schools.
Having witnessed Steven pushing the kids off the roof, Nathan had a profound impression of him.
Later, when applying for a job, Nathan realized his boss was Steven and wanted to leave with his resume immediately.
Steven wasn’t as gentle and friendly as he seemed, especially when it came to Clair. He was extremely protective of his little sister.
Over the years, Steven had grown up and mellowed out a bit. If it were the old him, Kaylee’s hands and feet wouldn’t have been safe after messing with Clair.
Yesterday’s incident was more about helping Celeste, or rather, seizing the opportunity to use her to get rid of Kaylee,
Celeste, who appeared to be so gentle, came up with such a scheme. Thinking about it, Nathan felt she and Steven were quite similar, especially in their ruthlessness.
“Oh, right, the background info on Caitlyn and Shawn you asked me to check.”
Nathan handed him the file folder, “It’s all here.”
Steven glanced at it and was taken aback by a line, “Shawn and Caitlyn got divorced?”
Nathan nodded, “They finalized the paperwork half a year ago. Shawn kept the divorce a secret, even Celeste doesn’t know about it.”
Caitlyn had been in a coma for years, making it quite easy to arrange a divorce,
Shawn’s brilliance lay in the fact that although he divorced her, he applied to be Caitlyn’s legal guardian through the court, promising to take care of her subsequent treatment.
As long as Caitlyn didn’t wake up, and as long as Shawn kept the secret well, nobody would know about the divorce until Caitlyn died. Shawn could even monopolize all of Caitlyn’s assets.
Steven opened Caitlyn’s file.
This was a classic story of a rich girl and a poor boy.
As he observed, he suddenly noticed that Caitlyn and Shawn both had type A blood, while Celeste had type AB blood.
Steven clenched the papers and said in a deep voice, “You tell me, can two type A blood parents have a type AB child?”
“No way!”
Steven closed his eyes, picturing Celeste in his mind. Gradually, the image in his head started to merge with the memory of her.
Old memories kept popping up in Steven’s mind.
The cold, damp body, the baby with a bluish face, the butterfly–shaped birthmark on the shoulder blade…
Is this reality or just a dream?
Did he remember it wrong, or did others?
What a coincidence!
At that moment, his phone rang.
Steven snapped out of it and answered the phone.
“Bro, Mom and Dad said they’ll be here next week. You need to get someone to remove the roses in the yard ASAP, Mom’s allergic.”
Steven frowned, “I’ve already prepared the house for Dad and Mrs. Janis, they won’t be living here.”
Clair sounded surprised, “Aren’t we all living together?”
“The new house is ready, this old one needs too many repairs, it wouldn’t be convenient for them. When Dad and Mrs. Janis arrive, you guys move in there, and I’ll finish cleaning up here before joining you.”
Clair was silent for a moment, then whispered, “Bro, is it because you don’t want to get rid of the roses?”
