Chapter 476 Was it You Who Made the Move?
I looked at him in confusion as he handed me the cell phone from the bedside table.
I took it with some curiosity, and was suddenly confronted with the headline news of River City, “A white
sports car exploded on the western ring road in the early hours of last night. It is currently
confirmed that there was only one person in the car who has died, and the identity is yet to be
determined!”
A white sports car?
With a furrowed brow, she looked at Walter with some uncertainty,
“Was it Ezra?”
He took the phone from my hand, tossed it aside, and looked at me, saying, “There’s no one with him,
it must be him.”
“So, are you saying Ezra is dead?” I was somewhat incredulous.
He gave a faint smile, nodding slightly, “If nothing unexpected happened, he should be dead.”
For a moment, I was at a loss for words, feeling both elated and complicated. The elation was because
Ezra was dead, just like that. The complication was that this matter was likely related to Walter.
I took a slight breath, looked at him, and said, “Walter, it was you who did it, wasn’t it?”
Regarding my reaction, he remained calm and nodded, saying, “Tabatha, I told you I wouldn’t let him
take you away from me again.”

He assumed.
I felt a slight heaviness in my heart, not for Ezra’s death, but for Walter. His hands were originally clean,
but now they were stained. with a life. This matter had made the news, the police couldn’t possibly not
investigate. But once they traced it back to him, even if Ezra deserved it, he would still be charged with
intentional homicide.
Seeing that I had fallen silent, Walter raised his hand and ruffled my hair, giving me a slight smile.
“Don’t worry,” he said, “I won’t get into trouble.”
I forced a smile and nodded slightly, standing up to wrap my arms around his waist. “Walter,” I said, “No
matter what, don’t take risks for anyone.”
He chuckled softly, his large hand holding mine, and said helplessly, “Tabatha, Ezra is dead. We should
be happy, not melancholic like you. Understand?”
Of course, I knew that Ezra was dead, I should have been happy.
Somehow, I always felt that everything was going too smoothly.
“Whirr…” On the bedside table, his phone started to vibrate. The words he had intended to say to me
paused slightly as he reached out to answer the call.
Despite the distance, I could barely hear the voice from the other side, it was Roy who called.
The person on the phone only said to have Walter come to the company, without specifying what it was
about.
Walter agreed and hung up the phone. I stood up, but he held me back. I raised my hand and gently
pushed him, “Didn’t Roy ask you to go to the company? You should go now!”

He held me in his arms, rubbing his nose against my face, which tickled a bit. I couldn’t help but hide in
his embrace.
He smiled lightly, “Wait for me to come back, I’ll take you to have something delicious tonight.”
I nodded, leaning on his shoulder, and couldn’t help but feel that I was indeed becoming a bit lazy.
He held me for a while before he let go and stood up, changing into a suit in preparation to leave.
Before he left, he walked towards me, cupping my face and giving me a kiss, saying, “Wait for me to
come back.”
I nodded and said, “Give me back my phone, I’m bored at home.’
He chuckled softly, walked over to the bedside table, and opened the drawer. Then he took out my
phone from inside. I was somewhat surprised, he had actually put my phone there, I thought he had
hidden it away.
Seeing my surprised expression, he said helplessly, “The password for the house door is your birthday.
If you’re bored at home, just take a walk around the neighborhood. Don’t go too far, but still, be
careful.”
I paused for a moment, then nodded, watching him leave.
It was also my fault for being lazy, I didn’t think of all these.
Did Ezra really die?
I lay in bed, still feeling somewhat surreal, and couldn’t help but open the headlines of River City,
browsing through that piece of news.
The phone suddenly started to vibrate, the incoming call screen covering the news page. Looking at
the caller ID, it was Stanley who was calling.

I was somewhat surprised, why did he call me? NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
After hesitating for a few seconds, I answered the phone, saying, “Officer Lu!”
There was a slight pause on the other end of the phone, then Stanley’s polite voice came through as
before, “Ms. Conner, I’m really sorry to bother you.”
I shook my head, realizing he couldn’t see me, and couldn’t help but say into the phone, “It’s okay, did
something happen?”
