Mildred, the cloakroom manager, happened to read this book. To save trouble, he asked her to visit his house after get off work and tell him the story. hear. The next day, Mildred was found dead of murder. Neighbor Laurel Gray testified that Mildred did leave Steele's home alone that night. As a result, Steele and Laurel started dating and had feelings. But the police and Steele's former friends did not let him go, and the rumors hurt their sincere feelings, which made Laurel suspicious of Steele, and Steele's temper became rough and rude. Angry and disappointed, Steele almost confirmed the slander against him with his actions: because he couldn't get Laurel's love, he almost wanted to kill her. At this time, the police caught the real murderer, but there was a gap in the emotions that could no longer be the same as before, and they had to break up painfully.
