After leaving the filming base, Winnie came to Channing’s school to find him. But his classmates told
her that Channing didn’t have any class in the afternoon and they also didn’t know his whereabouts.
Winnie left the teaching building and then went to Channing’s dormitory. But his roommates also told
here that Channing was not here either.
Winnie scratched her hair. When she prepared to leave, she saw Channing coming back with an
extremely cold face.
She wanted to walk over to greet him, but Channing had stridden into his dormitory.
Winnie thought it fishy. She took out her phone and called Channing, but he didn’t receive her call.
Winnie stood downstairs of the dormitory for a while. When she prepared to find a student to help her
find Channing, she saw Channing walking out of his dormitory with a travel suitcase.
Seeing this, Winnie hurriedly walked over, “Where’re you going?”
Channing kitted his brows when seeing Winnie, “Why are you here?”
“I came to the teaching building to find you but your classmates all told me that you were not here. So I
come here. I called you just now, but you didn’t answer it.” Winnie continued while looking towards his
suitcase, “Now it’s your turn to answer my question.”
Channing subconsciously hid the suitcase behind and replied in a flat tone, “Nothing. I want to go home
and live for several days.”
“It’s still weekdays now. How can you go home?”
“I have to handle with some matters.”
Winnie said, “Well. I will come back with you. I haven’t seen your sister for a long time.”
When hearing the words, Channing kitted his brows even tighter.
Winnie took two steps and then turned around to look at him, “Why don’t you go?”
Channing had no choice but say, “I will come back to my former home. My sister doesn’t live in there.”
Winnie was not surprised when hearing his answer. She adopted a flexible approach and said, “Then
let me give you a ride. It’s the rush hour and it will be difficult for you to hail a taxi. Didn’t you say that
you want to treat me a meal last time? We can have dinner together.”
Channing was silent again.
Staring at him, Winnie said after a long while, “Seems like you don’t plan to go home. Where are you
going?”
Channing pressed his lips together and said in a cold and aloof voice, “It’s my own business.”
Winnie was stunned when she heard the words. She moved her lips trying to say something, yet didn’t
know what to say.
It was true that she shouldn’t intermeddle into his affairs.
But as Channing was Stella’s younger brother, so she also regarded him as her brother. They got along
well in the filming base during this period. Therefore, she subconsciously thought that their relationship
was closer. They were like sister and brother, and also like friends.
She felt cold when she heard the words as if someone had splashed a basin of water on her head.
When she was in a trance, Channing walked pass her and left in strides.
Winnie also thought that she shouldn’t intervene in this matter again. She simply sent a message to
Stella, telling him that Channing came back to his dormitory to package up his luggage and then left.
After sending the message, Winnie put the phone back into her bag and left.
On the other side…
When receiving Winnie’s message, Stella immediately called Channing, yet she couldn’t reach him.
Stella realized that this matter was not that simple.
She hurriedly picked up her things, ran out of the office and said to Sherry, “Sherry, I have to go out
now. Maybe I will not come back tonight.”
Sherry nodded her head and asked, “Where’re you going?”
“Chan packaged up his luggage and left the school. I have a foreboding, so I have to go to find him.”
Stella left the studio in a hurry after finishing the words.
When she ran out of the studio, she bumped into Daniel. Daniel wanted to ask her what was wrong
when he saw her.
But Stella quickly got into the car.
Daniel knitted his brows. When he withdrew his lines of sights, Sherry ran out of the studio and their
eyes met in the air.
Daniel still walked over after several seconds of silence, “What’s wrong?”
Sherry took a glance at him and said in a flat tone, “Chan came to the studio today and he was so
weird. Stella told me that he packaged up his luggage and left the school.”
Daniel’s expression became serious when he heard the words. He turned around, got into his car and
chased after Stella.
Watching them leave one after another, Sherry’s expression also became serious. What the hell was
going on?
Stella drove towards Channing’s school while calling Winnie, “What did he say to you when you met
her?”
Winnie pouted at the other end of the phone, “Nothing special. But I can sense that he was in a bad
mood.”
Stella pressed her lips together tightly.
Winnie added, “Oh, by the way, he told me that he wanted to come back home. But I felt it was a lie.
You didn’t continue to rent that house, before, right? Which home can he come back?”
Stella abruptly stepped on the brake when she heard the words. Although she knew that it was just a
glimmer of hope, she still wanted to have a look.
When thinking of this, she hurriedly made a U turn.
Winnie continued, “One more thing, a staff in our filming base told me that a middle-aged man came to
Channing’s school to find him this noon. He drove a luxurious car and it looked like he was rich. The
staff saw them from afar and felt that looked somehow similar. I have a feeling that his change today
probably has something to do with this.”
Stella’s expression gradually turned cold when she ended the call, but she didn’t have the time to think
of other matter. The most important thing now was to find Channing as soon as possible.
When she arrived at Jeffrey’s house, Stella parked her car by the roadside and quickly ran upstairs.
When she went downstairs, she found that the door of the house was half opened and the things in the
house were messed up. It seemed like Channing had come back here.
“Oh, Stella, you also come back. I see your brother when I was downstairs just now. But he ran away
before I could greet him.” When speaking, the neighbor took a glance into the house and asked, “Are
you moving house? It’s good. You dad have died for a long time and it’s ominous to continue to live in
this house. It’s time to sell it.”
Stella asked, “When did you see Channing?”
“Ten minutes ago when I just picked up my grandson from the school. It seemed like he came to the
gambling house that your father always came when he was alive. His expression was so hideous and
thrilling.”
Stella thanked her, closed the door hurriedly and then left.
When she just went downstairs, her phone rang.
It was a strange number. Stella quickly answered the call, “Put aside Jeffrey’s matter now and help me
find my younger brother first. He came to the place at which Jeffrey always gambled.”
Adolph replied, “Okay.”
Stella heaved a sigh after ending the call and clenched her phone tightly.
Adolph was more familiar with the gambling houses in this area than her and he knew better than her
about how to deal with those gamblers.
When Stella was about to get into the car, she recalled that Clarence was so worried about her last
time. After hesitating for several seconds, she chose to make a phone call.
It was Nathan who answered the call. He said in a low voice, “Ms. Radomil, Mr. Conrad is having a
directors’ meeting. Do you have any matter? I will tell him when the meeting is over.”
Stella replied, “Not a big deal, it’s just that… Never mind. I will talk with him when the meeting is over.”
Nathan realized there must be some problem judging from Stella’s tone of voice and said, “Ms.
Radomil, please send me an address. I will arrange some men to come there right away.”
Stella didn’t refuse it, “Okay.”
