When they were downstairs of the company, Stella said, “Stop here. My car is parked by the roadside.”
Emmett smiled, “Okay. As for Sherry’s matter, I will sound out Daniel’s inner thought later. But the
words you said before leaving stimulated him and I guess it will be useful.”
Stella curled her lips into a smile, “I hope so. But I still hope that Sherry can find the one who will treat
her well in the rest of his life.”
Emmett replied, “She will.”
“Then I will leave first. Bye-bye.”
“Goodbye.”
Emmett fixed his eyes on Stella’s back and only withdrew his lines of sights until Stella disappeared in
his vision. He turned around and went upstairs.
When Stella left Star Ferry Technology, she drove to the old house that Jeffrey lived in before.
She opened the door with the key and softly said at the direction of the curtain of the balcony which
was blown by the wind, “It’s me.”
Several seconds later, Adolph climbed in from outside of the balcony.
Stella said, “Rest assured. Except for me, no one will come to this place. You can live here without any
worry.”
Adolph said, “Thank you.”
Stella took out the medicines she bought on the way here, “Last time I saw that your wounds were still
bleeding. Have a treatment of them. You don’t need to thank me. To be frank, we are taking what we
need respectively.”
“Have you found Jeffrey?”
“Yes.” Stella paused and then said with a smile, “But I didn’t find any useful information from him.”
Adolph asked, “Do you need my help?”
Stella shook her head, “No thanks. Just leave it alone.”
When speaking, she took out a card from her bag and said, “There’s three million in the card. I’ve
promised you before. I’ve asked you to do many things recently. I’ve discussed with Clarence on this
matter. He’s now dealing with the Conrad family and their forces will be withdrawn soon. At that time,
you will not need to hide yourself and you can go out above board.
Adolph knitted his brows when he heard the words, “Don’t you hate me?”
“I’ve told you that our past grudges will be wiped out. Now we are making it clear.” Stella heaved a sigh
and said, “You may not know that how important the thing you helped me take out of the Stewards’
Mansion. You deserve this reward.”
Adolph fixed his eye son the card on the table and didn’t speak again.
Stella said, “I will leave first. You can live here without worry. When the Conrad family is solved, I will
call you.”
After Stella’s leaving, Adolph sat on the sofa and lifted his clothes. A hideous scar on his abdomen was
bleeding. He took out the medicine and gauze bought by Stella and applied the medicine on the
wound.
After dealing with all the wounds on his body, Adolph cleaned up the rubbish and began to examine the
old house.
Jeffrey was addicted to gambling. He had borrowed money from loan sharks several years ago, and
even sold his daughter, but he had never mortgaged this old house. Why?
Although this place cannot be sold at a high price, there was no problem for it to get several hundred
thousand.
For someone like Jeffrey, spending all his money on gambling was already a normal thing for him.
But he has never had the idea of selling this house.
It was too weird.
Adolph was so free now, so he began to carefully search every corner of the house.
...
On the way back, seeing that it was late, Stella called Sherry, telling her she was not going back to the
studio.
The refrigerator in the apartment was almost empty, and she wanted to go to the supermarket to buy
something.
But what Stella didn't expect was that she actually met Amanda in the supermarket.
When Stella saw Amanda, Amanda was selecting fish.
When Amanda saw her, her pupils dilated in an instant, and it took a long time before she made a small
voice, “Ms....Ms. Radomil..."
Stella smiled and greeted her, "Do you live in the vicinity?”
Amanda wanted to blurt out "yes", but she abruptly bit her tongue and swallowed the words back. She
found an excuse, "No, I just came here today with my friends for a stroll. Seeing that the fish is quite
fresh, I want to buy to and go back to make the soup. It should be delicious."
Stella looked over, "It's really fresh."
At this time, Amanda hurriedly said, "I have to deal with something, so I have to leave first. Ms.
Radomil see you again."
"Hold on."
The moment she was stopped by her, Amanda felt her scalp numb, and her neck stiffened. She turned
around, “Is… Is there any other matter?"
Stella handed her the bag, "You forgot to take the fish you bought."
Amanda quickly took it, barely squeezing out a smile, "Thank you Ms. Radomil, then I will leave first."
"Okay."
Amanda carried the bag. Actually she bought nothing else. She quickly walked to the checkout counter
and left.
And Maxwell, who was not far away from her, silently heaved a sigh of relief when watching this scene
and then left.
Fortunately, Mr. Conrad instructed him before that, just in case of any accident, Dolores and Amanda
should not go out at the same time during this period.
It seemed that Mr. Conrad really had the foresight, but he did not expect to meet Stella here today.
Stella also bought two fish, but when she was about to leave, she saw a small card on the ground.
Stella picked it up and saw that it was the floor card of Clarence's apartment.
It seemed like Amanda accidently dropped it.
Stella put the card into her bag, put the fish in the shopping cart again, and continued shopping.
She bought two large bags of things, and when she left the supermarket, she received a call from
Clarence.
Clarence said, "Did you come to meet with Emmett?"
Stella replied, "I left early and went to the supermarket. When will you come back? I bought many
things and it’s hard for me to carry them."
"Wait for me there. I'll come over right away."
"No, I'm already in the car, but I can't carry them upstairs."
"Wait for me downstairs in the apartment. I will be there in half an hour."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Stella put down her phone and drove back slowly.
This supermarket was very close to their apartment, which only took ten minutes to walk. If one drove,
it wouldn’t take too much time for him/her to get there. But now it was the rush hour and Stella was
trapped in a traffic jam for several minutes.
When Stella arrived at the downstairs, it had only been ten minutes since she called Clarence.
The basement was too stuffy and the air here was not circulating. She didn't want to stay here, so she
simply put her things on the first floor and strolled in the garden.
Sitting on a bench, Stella took out the floor card from her bag.
It only marked the number of the building and the floor, but the exact room number was not shown on
it.
Stella sat for a while, and received a call from Clarence. He was already in the basement.
Stella said, "Wait a moment. I'll come over right away."
She put the small card back in her bag and went to the basement.
After a few steps, she saw Clarence.
Stella pointed at a direction to instruct him, "Over there."
After opening the car door, Clarence looked at the two big bags and couldn't help raising his eyebrows,
“You bought so many things?"
Stella said, "Yes, I have considered it. I won't move back to Starry Lake Mansion for the time being.
let's talk about it later. I really like the environment here."
Clarence: "..."
