Chapter 156: FINDING OUT THE TRUTH II

Stefan listened to the hoarse voice with full attention. He wanted to smash all the things inside his office. He wanted to thrash someone. He wanted to kill someone. His eyes were already red from anger but he remained seated, thinking of Cayenne's sweet smile to keep him grounded and sane.
Dr. Albert continued to talk. "Within years of marriage, Magnus and the young miss never encountered any problem but they weren't the sweet kind of couple either. It was as if they were putting distance between them but they remained civil. Years later, when young master Alexander was six years old, Magnus received news that Latticia gave birth to their son. At that point, the young miss contacted me and told me to kill the baby." Stefan's eyebrow raised at this point. He didn't know that the original plan was to kill him instead of his mother.
Dr. Albert took a deep breath and you could hear the air that he sucked deep into his lungs. "I couldn't. I told her that I'm supposed to save lives not to kill them. It angered the young miss. She ended the call and I haven't heard anything from her. After a month, she called me again. Telling me that she killed Latticia. I was shocked and was panicking. I told the Minato family about it but I never thought they'd cover it up. When we came to find the young miss, she was crying beside a dead woman. She hit her with her car. Even though we knew who killed her, we let her go." Stefan clenched his fist tightly. He was breathing in and out to relax himself. If he didn't have Cayenne's opinion to care about, he would find all the people involved of her mother's death and kill them all. Killing them once wouldn't suppress his anger. He wanted to kill them with a thousand cuts, like those people who committed a heavy crime during the old era.
Stefan picked up his phone and looked at Cayenne's picture in his photo album to calm himself while listening to Dr. Albert's voice from the recorder. "When the policemen came, we told them that the suspect ran away when we found the dead body. Magnus didn't suspect as at all which saved us from being sent to jail as an accomplice. However, my conscience is killing me. I don't want Latticia to come and hunt me for justice. Also, Alexander knew about his real identity which is why he's been so good with the young Stefan. He wanted to compensate the sin that his mother committed. He wanted to pay Latticia's life with his life but he couldn't find the right time to do it. It must not look like a deliberate crime. It should look like an accident. So, when a burglar came in the middle of the night, he must have thought it was the best chance to die to pay Latticia's life. How did I know about his plan? Of course, he told me. He didn't die on the spot. He was still alive when he arrived at the hospital but he refused our help. He didn't want to survive. He wanted to die to wash away his mother's crime."
Stefan chuckled and then his chuckles turned to a series of loud laughter. He was laughing so hard but soon after, his laughter became a cry of anguish. He cried and cried. Tears fell on the papers on his table as he clenched on the recorder. His beloved brother died because of his mother. He took the blame even though it wasn't his fault. The only person who stayed by his side ever since he was young, left him alone.
'Why? Why must you compensate the crime that you have never done. Why must you die? Why did you have to leave me?' Stefan questioned internally. The information was too much. He never thought that the truth would be this painful. Alexander was just like him, the victim of their parents' selfishness and manipulation. They were both innocent but they had to carry the burden as if they were the one who committed the scene.
Chris could vaguely hear the laughter from the CEO's office and he knew that Stefan must be grieving because of all the things he found out. Before the information reached to Stefan, Chris was able to read them since he was the one who investigated it with the help of Shein. He knew how painful the information was.
"I wish Cayenne is here. She would be able to soothe the boss." Chris commented before resuming his work. With Stefan's state of mind, he was sure that not a single work will be done in the afternoon. To help the boss, he can only work on his own to cover for him.

It was true. Stefan couldn't focus his mind to work. He could only think of how he can take his revenge without having his hands tainted with blood. He was lying on his office couch; his arm was covering his eyes while he thought of his mother's lovely smile. Tears kept falling on the side of his face. 'She wasn't so innocent either.' Stefan thought. 'Although I'm still upset that they killed her, it happened because she was stupid. She knew that Magnus was already married, why did she have to force her love to him? And that Magnus, he knew he's already married, why must he make my mother a mistress? If he didn't want to marry Clara, he should have fought for it. And Clara. That woman. I'll make sure that she'll pay all the crime she committed.'
Around three in the afternoon, Stefan composed himself once again and called Cayenne. He needed to hear her voice to replenish his depleted energy and turmoiled emotions.
"Hi, are you taking break again?" Cayenne asked him.
"I can take a break whenever I want." Stefan responded. "Ayen, I'm sad."
"Why are you sad? Did someone bully you again?"
"Hn. My family bullied me. All of them including Alex."
Hearing these words, Cayenne deduced that he must have found something about his mother that relates to Alexander's death. She can only lower her voice and try her best to soothe him. "Next time, if they come and find you, let me know. I'll fight them off for you. I will protect you from them. I'm a strong woman in case you haven't noticed."
