    Chapter 2086


    Jack grilled Stinger all night to no avail.


    The next morning, Arabe was having breakfast when her grandparents across the table spoke up.


    "Be, your aunt and uncle mentioned that you caught someone who was sabotaging theirpany


    from the shadows? Goes by the name ''Stinger'', right?" Bernard suddenly asked.


    Arabe hadn''t expected her aunt and uncle to spill the beans to her grandparents. It seemed they


    were at their wits'' end and wanted her grandparents to step in and demand the culprit from her.


    With that in mind, Arabe calmly replied, "Yes, I have him."


    "I hear he''s a nasty piece of work. He poisoned your aunt and uncle''s restaurants. Now, a bunch of


    folks ended up in the hospital, and their families are knocking on their door for an exnation. Your


    aunt and uncle didn''t dare make public that you caught Stinger, but they need to give those people an

    answer. So, they want to question Stinger about why he did it," Bernard exined.


    "Be, why did you catch Stinger in the first ce?" Cornelia asked, puzzled.


    "He hired a hitman," Arabe said nonchntly, "to kill me."


    "What? That''s news to me," Cornelia eximed in shock. "Why didn''t you tell us before? When did this


    happen? Keh and Louisa didn''t say a word."


    "Was it that Murphy girl, what''s her name, Ynda?" Bernard suddenly remembered. "Not long ago,


    she kidnapped your friend and Edith, trying to force you out in the open. Is she in cahoots with


    Stinger?"


    "To be precise, Stinger funded her, giving her the means to hire a hitman. The hitman''s contact also


    came from him, and to ensure my demise, Stinger gave her a poison called ''Seven Orifices


    Hemorrhage.''"


    "Outrageous!" Bernard mmed the table, seething with anger. "What kind of vendetta does Stinger


    have against you to go this far?"


    "I''m still trying to find that out," Arabe exined. "No luck yet."


    And that was one of the reasons she had taken Stinger into custody.


    "It seems Be''s questions are even more pressing than what Lucas need." Cornelia said to Bernard,


    "Let''s have Lucas wait a bit longer, let Be get to the bottom of this."


    "That Murphyss couldn''t have the resources on her own. Her family''s bankrupt, and she''s left without


    parents, alone and vulnerable. It must be Stinger''s support that allowed her to target Be. This


    Stinger, wanting to kill Be and causing such distress in Lucas'' businesses, who is he exactly."


    Before Bernard could finish, his phone began to vibrate. He answered, "Beverly, my dear."


    Arabe continued her breakfast in silence, not joining the conversation.


    Hearing Beverly on the other end putting pressure on her grandfather, Arabe cut in, "Grandpa, let me


    speak to her."


    "Be will talk to you, just a second," Bernard handed the phone to Arabe.


    Arabe switched to speaker and said bluntly, "To be frank, Stinger is also linked to the fire incident at


    the health clinic years ago. Aunt Beverly, are you in such a hurry because there''s a secret you can''t


    afford to let me uncover?" Reаd at Dramanovеls


    She remained patient, her tone gentle as if speaking to a child.
