Stanley interrupted him, "I'll bear responsibility. I don't care how much you punish me, as long as you don't ask me to leave."
Simon stopped him, "Don't interrupt me before I'm finished."
Stanley rubbed his head and smiled innocently, "Go ahead, I'll listen."
Hence, Simon continued on. "According to sources, Bianca was a virgin before you found her. It was only after that, that she became pregnant."
Stanley nodded. "Yes, that is true."
He replied his usual curt replies.
Even Simon was starting to get annoyed of Stanley. How did Jayden even tolerate him? "Stanley, apart from saying yes, is there anything else you can say?"
Stanley deadpanned as he replied. "Simon, didn't you say I wasn't allowed to interrupt you?"
Simon rolled his eyes, "I'm asking you to explain yourself now."
Stanley was confused, "Explain what?"
At that point, Simon was utterly speechless.
He was so irked that he had to suppress the urge to strangle Stanley. If he didn't know Stanley any better, he'd definitely think Stanley was trying to anger him on purpose.
Stanley said bluntly, "Mr. Banks, what are you asking me to explain? Can you just get straight to the point?"
Suppressing his anger, Simon asked with great patience, "Let me ask you, who else has had contact with her after you found her?"
Stanley thought about this. "Other than myself, there's Dr. Alvin Fisher, Miss Young, and Madam Moore who takes care of Bianca's diet."
Simon tried his best to guide him towards the answer. "And who among these people are men?"
Still not catching on, Stanley merely replied, "Alvin and I."
Struggling not to roll his eyes again, Simon took a deep breath. "Who was the one who performed the insemination procedure on Bianca?"
Stanley continued to answer his questions without realising what it meant. "It was Alvin and his team."
At that point, Simon had gotten a good grasp
on the situation based on what he had learnt. He didn't care if this was accidental or intentional, but he knew Alvin had something to do with this.
In fact, anyone with a brain could've put two and two together. It was just that Stanley wasn't that bright, therefore couldn't put a finger on it.
Simon patted Stanley's shoulder and said, "Why don't you go back to your duties?"
Finding all of this very odd, Stanley asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to investigate me? You haven't done it yet."
Simon poked him on the side of the head. "Stanley, oh Stanley, why can't you help our master solve some of his problems on your own? Don't tell me you have to wait for him to tell you how to do everything?"
Stanley nodded proudly and said, "Yes, I listen to everything he says."
Simon couldn't believe this guy still had the audacity to nod!
Simon gave up, losing the strength to talk to the blockhead before him. "Fine, fine, fine. Go do your stuff, I don't need your help here anymore."
