Chapter 524: If You Don't Want to Come with Me, What Do You Want to Do?
Alaric also saw Tommy's car, ignored Tommy, then sped up to get to Tommy's house.
After Tommy left, Gillian went into his study and opened a drawer. Just as Tommy had said, it was filled with his various certificates.
Seeing so many certificates, Gillian was shocked. She felt that she hadn't received as many certificates in her entire life as he had.
'Is this what a top genius looks like? So impressive!' Stellan marveled inwardly.
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Hearing the doorbell, Gillian instinctively thought Tommy had forgotten something and quickly ran to open the door for him.
But when she opened the door, it was Alaric standing outside.
Seeing it was Alaric, Gillian visibly looked disappointed.
"What? Disappointed to see me?" Alaric asked again, "Then who did you want to see?"
"Anyone but you," Gillian replied honestly. "Don't try to persuade me. I'm not going back with you."
"So what do you want to do? Stay here long-term?"
"Why not?" Gillian uttered. "Tommy just said that I could stay here and he would stay at the police station dormitory. This way, we won't be living together, so you should be relieved, right?"
Stellan stays here? Tommy goes to stay at the police station dormitory?
"If you two aren't living together, what's the difference between staying here and staying at a hotel?"
"There's a big difference. Hotels don't have as many books as he does here, nor do they have so much fitness equipment. He said he would teach me fitness and help me study."
It was also Alaric's first time in Tommy's place. Although the place wasn't small, it was very tidy, with few pieces of furniture, so everything was clear at a glance.
"Gillian, no matter what, this is a strange man's house. Staying long-term in a strange man's house, if Mr. Emberlyn finds out, won't he be furious?"
Alaric couldn't help but marvel at Tommy's charm. He hadn't seen Gillian many times, yet he could make her want to stay at his house long-term.
"Tommy is a cop! Tommy was able to restore his identity thanks to my dad. If my dad knew I was staying at Tommy's house, he would be very relieved. Besides, Tommy said I could stay here, and he would stay at the police station dormitory. We wouldn't be under the same roof. Also, I burned Stellan's hand. You must hate me, right? Wouldn't you be happy if I moved out?"
"Gillian, I'm not joking with you here!" Seeing her stubbornness, Alaric sternly reprimanded, "If you don't want to stay at The Knight Mansion, or if you're tired of Arizona, I'll take you home. But you can't stay here!"
"I told you, I want to pursue a Ph.D. in Finance at Arizona University. I won't be leaving Arizona for a while. If I succeed, I won't be leaving for the next few years."
"You don't have to come with me, but call Mr. Emberlyn right now. If he agrees, I'll leave immediately."
"My phone got waterlogged yesterday and broke."
Alaric handed her his phone. Seeing his persistence, Gillian Thomas's number, but it didn't go through.
Gillian handed the phone back to him and said, "My dad said he was going to some event. He probably didn't bring his phone with him."
Alaric had just put his phone away when he got a call from Cormac.
"Alaric, where are you now? Everyone's waiting for you to start the meeting."
Alaric almost forgot he had a very important meeting this morning.
"You better get busy. Delaying you for a minute costs a lot of money. I wouldn't dare waste your time," Gillian spoke.
"Gillian, this is my last warning. If you can't keep your distance from Tommy, then guard your feelings!"
After saying that, Alaric left Tommy's house. After he left, Gillian couldn't help but pout and complain, "You're so close with Stellan all the time, but you won't let me date..."
After Alaric left home in the morning, Stellan was also quite anxious at home. She felt very sorry about what happened last night.
And at this point, Gillian hadn't come back, probably wouldn't come back.
And now her lower abdomen was hurting a bit again, so she went to lie down on the bed. There were many servants at home now, and with so many people, someone was bound to tell Alaric about her abdominal pain.
Now Rowena was also pregnant, and she had things to do, so she couldn't come over to accompany her. If only Mia were here.
Stellan lay down to relieve the pain a bit, and after feeling a bit better, she called Neil.
"Stellan, is there something you need?" Neil answered quickly.
"Officer Neil, I wanted to ask about Mia. After searching for so long, is there still no news?"
Actually, Neil had already put that case aside. All his energy was now focused on the Storm family case.
"Stellan, I'm really sorry. Because of the Storm family case, a special task force was formed, and I'm the team leader. I'm fully responsible for this case now, and all the other cases I was handling have been handed over to Tommy."
Actually, they were all part of the criminal investigation team. Finding Mia was a special favor from Neil, and now it was Tommy's responsibility.
"Okay, I understand."
"Stellan, don't hang up yet," Neil quickly added. "I want to know more about the Storm family case."
Because it was an old case being re-investigated and had high attention, Neil's superiors only gave him a month. If he couldn't find anything within a month, he would either be demoted or directly fired, so he was under a lot of pressure.
"Officer Neil, go ahead."
"Every crime has a motive. The mastermind behind the scenes instructed Stuart to frame the Storm family, and this process took several years. Then they ruined your family's reputation and finally killed Brennan. From this, it's clear that the person must have a serious grudge against the Storm family. Otherwise, they wouldn't spend so much time torturing and seeking revenge on you. So think carefully, did Brennan offend anyone? Did he have any enemies?"
"I really don't know. My dad was a kind person. I don't think he had any enemies. And at that time, I was studying abroad, so I really don't know." Stellan replied honestly.
"Then list all of Brennan's friends, business partnersor rivals, anyone you can think of who had any interaction with Brennan."
Neil had interrogated Stuart countless times and was sure he wouldn't get any more valuable clues from him, so now he could only use the most tedious method.
