Chapter 867
After listening, Stella immediately slapped her thigh and said, "I knew it! Frederick was bound to make a big mistake. You don't know. He has always been particularly nasty since he was young. Frederick would suddenly push people into the water! He would even hold their heads down so they couldn't come up! I've seen Frederick with a switchblade, stabbing people!"
Alexander, listening, felt a subtle unease in his heart.
"Wait. Who did Frederick push into the water and hold down?" Alexander asked.
Stella hesitated for a moment, then replied helplessly, "It was me..."
Apart from that, when Frederick was young, he would unexpectedly appear and kick or push Stella.
Seeing Stella cry made Frederick happy.
Alexander tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
Noticing this, Stella said, "Alexander, today is a good day to visit Mr. Sullivan. We can't let scum like this ruin our mood. Be good!"
Alexander glanced at Stella, then gently agreed. Stella smiled, unfastened her seatbelt, leaned toward Alexander, gently caressed his cheek, and kissed him, saying, "Alright, let's go. Cheer up!"
Seeing Stella like this made Alexander felt even more distressed.
Over the years, Stella had endured and had managed to heal herself.
Alexander started the car. He lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the coldness in his eyes.
There was overwhelming evidence of Frederick's actions. After Frederick was arrested and faced a huge bail amount, Adam chose not to bail him out.
Life in prison was not easy for Frederick.
During his time in prison, Frederick became the target of a particularly dangerous inmate. Nearly every day, different people would repeatedly hold Frederick under water in a barrel. Each time he was about to drown, they would pull him out, only to push him back in once he had caught his breath. This went on for half a year.
Frederick was scheduled to be transferred to another prison.
Before leaving, Frederick was elated, thinking he would finally escape this nightmare.
Little did he know...
That night, after yet another dunking in the barrel, the dangerous inmate himself approached Frederick. He looked at Frederick mockingly and said, "Do you really think leaving here will set you free?"
Frederick trembled, too scared to speak.
The man was so big that a single punch could kill him. How could he dare to resist?
"I'll tell you honestly. There will be someone like me waiting for you over there, too," The serious inmate said nonchalantly.
Frederick was stunned, then subconsciously asked, "Why? I don't even know you! Why are you treating me like this?"
The serious inmate chuckled. "My son has a very serious heart condition, and we don't afford the treatment. Before you got locked up, someone found me and offered to save my son for free. All I have to do is take good care of you."
"Who?" Frederick's voice trembled slightly, though he quickly guessed the answer.
Who else could use medical treatment as leverage other than the Beaumont family?
Frederick remembered that when the incident happened, Adam said, "Alexander won't let you off."
"I heard that you did something similar to a man's wife when she was just a girl," The inmate sneered even more.
He had killed before, but he couldn't bear domestic abusers at all!
In his mind, those who hurt women and children were beasts.
What was wrong with killing a few beasts?
"She's my friend. We were just fooling around!" Frederick said excitedly.
Before he knew it, the inmate grabbed him, slammed him against the wall, and said menacingly, "You scum, how dare you say she's your friend? Are you just playing around? Is that fun for you? Then, you'll be tossed around from prison to prison. Enjoy it!"
