In the end, Channing declined to join them at the karaoke.

Stella sent Channing home and joined them later, while Sherry and the girls went to the karaoke.

"What have you been up to lately, Clarence mentioned you go out early and come home late?"

"Something." After a little interval, Channing responded.

"Can you tell me what that is?"

He turned away silently.

Stella didn't pursue him because she knew he didn't want to tell. "No matter what happens, don't act on

impulse again, remember that you are my brother, my only family in this world, no one is more precious

to me than you."

"How about Clarence?" After a moment, Channing questioned.

She was taken aback by the question. "Boyfriend is replaceable, but not brother," she said with a smile.

"I swear I won't be rash, and I won't be used to threaten you again. Adolph and you..." he hesitated,

frowning.

It was a difficult situation.

"He saved me once," Stella remarked, "And I forgive him for his earlier mistakes. I phoned and paid

him to search down Jeffrey."

"Forgive?" Channing squinted even more.

"Adolph wouldn't have come to us if Jeffrey hadn't borrowed money from a loan shark," Stella said.

"Furthermore, Jeffrey planned everything, and Adolph merely wanted his money back."

She despised both Jeffrey and Adolph.

But she couldn't blame Adolph anymore.

She couldn't tell whether Adolph was kind or bad, but she recognized humanity in him because of

Modesty's father.

It was simply a matter of surviving in different ways.

Channing remained silent as he gazed out the window.

Stella said as she parked the car in front of Starry Lake Mansion, "You should go back to school after

the weekend because you are almost fully recovered."

"Okay." Channing smiled and nodded.

"Do you want to come in?" he inquired as he got out of the car.

"No," Stella said as she gazed at that familiar place, smiled, and shook her head.

"Then it's goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Stella lingered after Channing had departed before driving away.

Starry Lake Mansion.

Channing walked into the living room as Clarence descended the stairs. "What have you been up to?"

"A gathering."

"What kind of gathering?" Clarence inquired, frowning.

"Didn't my sister invite you?" He stated that on purpose.

Clarence couldn't say anything.

"She just sent me back and left," Channing continued.

Clarence was irritated. After casting a peek at Channing, he returned upstairs.

Channing felt a lot better when he saw his unhappy expression.

Clarence reached for his phone, intending to call Stella, but decided against it.

She despised Starry Lake Mansion and refused to set foot inside.

Clarence tossed his phone on the sofa, massaged his nose, and gazed around the quiet room.

It was all thanks to him.

"Have you got it?" he asked after dialing Vincent's phone.

Vincent replied, "Not yet. That crafty fox hides him well, but Donald is running after him, I doubt he'll

have time to visit Stella."

"Watch the hospital as well, don't give him a chance."

"Don't worry, we've dispatched him."

"The new project with the Steward Group had begun, the remainder would be handled by someone

else. All we have to do now is make sure Charles and Phoebe don't get in the way." Clarence went on.

Vincent nodded and said, "OK."

Clarence sat in the same location for a few moments after hanging up the phone before abruptly rising.

Channing emerged from his room downstairs, and he rushed into him. "Where are you going?"

Clarence claimed, "It's none of your concern."

It didn't seem like he was going for Stella.

Was he seeing someone else?

He followed him around to see what was going on.

Clarence gazed into the black mirror reflection of the car behind him from inside the black Rolls Royce.

After a few rounds, his lips lifted and he was gone.

Half an hour later, the car came to a halt in front of a common residential area.

When Clarence arrived, the baby was playing with his toys in the cradle, which were all soaked in his

saliva.

His finger was covered in saliva as he poked the corner of his lips. He frowned as he quickly wiped it

away.

"You've arrived," Dolores stated as she emerged from the kitchen.

"Are you by yourself?" Clarence threw the tissue away.

"Amanda went out for groceries."

"At this hour?"

"I sent her to the mall since the fridge is empty," Dolores explained.

Clarence said, "I'll send you to City C next week."

Dolores was taken aback. "Did Stella find this location?"

"She makes a big deal about wanting to visit you, so I'll bring her next week."

"When do you plan to tell her the truth?" Dolores sighed.

"After I get rid of Joanna," Clarence sat on the sofa.

"What happened to the baby after I left?" Dolores inquired.

"I'll have someone else look after him until your return," he said looking to the cradle.

"It appears to be the only option."

When the doorbell rang, Dolores assumed Amanda had returned, so she went to answer it, only to find

an unfamiliar man standing there.

"Who you are?" Dolores inquired.

"I've come to see Clarence," Channing explained.

He walked into the house without waiting for Dolores to answer.

Clarence was taken aback when he saw him, he had discovered this place after all.

If Channing hadn't promised Stella not to behave rashly just now, his fist would have landed on

Clarence's face right now.

Amanda returned at this point "What exactly is going on? Dolores, why is the door so wide open?" she

inquired quietly.

As soon as Channing noticed this, he grabbed Clarence's collar, "Are you even a human being? What

did you promise me?" Channing screamed angrily.

"Clarence, what is..." Dolores approached after closing the door.

"It's all right," Clarence said.

"Since you're here," he said to Channing, "I'll tell you the truth."

Amanda returned at this point "What exactly is going on? Dolores, why is the door so wide open?" she

inquired quietly.

As soon as Channing noticed this, he grabbed Clarence's collar, "Are you even a human being? What

did you promise me?" Channing screamed angrily.

"Clarence, what is..." Dolores approached after closing the door.

"It's all right," Clarence said.

"Since you're here," he said to Channing, "I'll tell you the truth."
