When they arrived at the studio, Stella saw Sherry lying on the cashier’s desk, sighing at a frequency of
five seconds.
Stella asked the young lady next to her softly, “What’s wrong with her?”
“I don’t know, she’d been like this since yesterday.”
Stella walked over, “Sherry, have you had breakfast yet?”
Sherry lifted her head weakly to look at her, “Yes, I have eaten my breakfast.”
“What did you eat?”
“Lessons.”
Stella was speechless.
She pulled Sherry into her office, “What’s wrong, are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Sherry’s eyes were listless, “Huh? Probably, very uncomfortable.”
Stella said, “Then, let me send you back to rest, or go to the hospital?”
Sherry shook her head and lay back to the office sofa, “No need, I just didn’t wake up this morning, I’ll
be fine after resting for a while.”
As soon as Stella saw her behaving like this, she knew that she was definitely hurt by love affairs
again.
She did not ask any more questions. After ordering breakfast for Sherry, she put down her phone, “You
can sleep first, I’ll call you later.”
After Sherry gave a response, she closed her eyes.
After half an hour, breakfast arrived. Sherry ate it and continued to sleep until noon.
When she stretched herself, there was a knock on the office door. A young lady poked her head in,
“Stella, Sherry... Daniel is coming.”
Sherry was frozen. She did not say anything.
Stella said, “Did he say what it is about?”
“No, but he came once yesterday afternoon. However, Sherry was not here so he left after waiting for
half an hour.”
Stella looked at Sherry, “I think he comes here to meet you. How shall I tell him?”
Sherry withdrew her hand slowly, “Just tell him I’m not here ... No, tell him I went out of town, out of the
country. I won’t be back within a decade or eight years.”
The young lady was speechless.
Stella was speechless.
Stella spoke to the young lady, “You go and tell him that Sherry went to the shooting today, and if he
asks you for the exact address, just say you don’t know.”
“Okay.”
After the office door was closed, Stella said, “Are you guys ...”
Sherry was agitated, “No, nothing happened!”
Stella responded, “What?”
She paused for two seconds before glaring fiercely, “You are too impulsive.”
Sherry said with chagrin, “Don’t mention it, I’m regretting it, I don’t know what was in my mind at that
time. But after all, I still have to blame Liam, that bastard, if he did not go crazy in the middle of the
night, I wouldn’t have been impulsive like that ...”
After hearing that, Stella frowned, “What’s wrong with Liam, is he looking for trouble with you?”
Sherry briefly summarized, “He somehow found where I live and then went crazy ... and then Daniel
showed up.”
Stella frowned, “You can’t live there anymore, did you find a new house?”
“Yea, but I still can’t find one that suits me, I stayed in a hotel last night.”
Stella looked at the time, “I’m going to pick up Chan later, then I have to go back to the place where
Jeffrey lives, after that, I’ll accompany you to look for houses.”
Sherry nodded and said, “Why do you go back to that place with Chan?”
“It was Adolph who asked me to go over there. I also don’t know what’s going on.”
“Adolph?”
Stella said, “He has been living there for the last while.”
When Stella got up to leave, Sherry followed her, “I’ll go with you. It’s boring for me to stay here.”
Stella thought that in her current situation, going out for a walk was much better than staying here for
her, so she agreed.
Seeing them leave the studio, when Daniel was just about to go up to them, they opened the car door,
looking like they wanted to go somewhere.
He did not hesitate and went straight after them.
After picking up Chan from school, Sherry changed the demoralized look on her face and asked
excitedly, “Chan, is there any kind of handsome guy with eight-pack abs in your school, preferably a
sports student who plays basketball, loves sports and has a good body shape. If you know one,
introduce him to me.”
Channing was speechless.
He said, “Did you break up with Daniel?”
The smile on the corner of Sherry’s mouth froze and she laughed, “We are not even in a relationship
before. What do you mean by break up?”
Channing did not believe her.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of an old residential building.
Stella pulled the car door, “Let’s go.”
Channing walked in the front and said as he went up the stairs, “The street light is broken, walk slowly.”
The hallway was very dark. There was no light at all.
Sherry did not know the condition there well. She missed a step and screamed. When she thought she
was about to fall, someone suddenly held her arm from behind and she fell into his arms.
Stella and Channing turned around at the same time and wanted to ask her how was she, but when
they saw this scene, they both silently withdrew their eyes and continued to walk upstairs.
After Sherry came out from her absent-minded state, she hurriedly stood properly and distanced
herself from him, “Why are you here?”
Daniel withdrew his hand and smiled, “I’m here to look for you.”
Sherry was speechless.
She ignored him and quickly followed Stella upstairs.
Stella took out her key and opened the door. She waited for them all to come in before saying, “Come
out.”
Adolph came out from the balcony.
Channing frowned when he saw him.
Adolph also did not expect so many people to come and looked a little wary.
Stella said, “They are all my friends. We have some other things to do later, so we all come together. If
it’s not convenient for you to talk to so many people, I can talk to you alone.”
Adolph said, “No need.”
If Stella wanted to hurt him, she would not have let him stay here for so long.
Adolph walked towards Jeffrey’s bedroom, “Come in.”
Channing looked at the clutter and clothes all over the bedroom, and then looked at the empty
wardrobe, “What does it mean?”
Adolph walked to the wardrobe and stood in front of it, “According to my understanding about Jeffrey,
it’s impossible for him to not sell the house after he owed so much gambling debt. So, I think that
there’s something fishy about this house, he must have hidden something here.”
After a pause, he added, “I searched for a few days and finally found that the back of this wardrobe is
hollow, I am sure that the things he hid must be here.”
Stella spoke out softly, “Haven’t you opened it?”
“Not yet, whatever he has hidden, I think it shall be opened in front of you.”
Stella understood what he meant, he was trying to avoid suspicion.
No matter what was inside, as Jeffrey’s former family members, it was only appropriate for them to
discover it.
Adolph directly picked up the iron rod on the floor and viciously smashed it against the wooden panel at
the back of the wardrobe.
