Joanna didn’t reply this time. She left slowly.
Clenching her new phone, Stella heaved a sigh and followed Joanna’s men to the back door.
Looking at the car that was parked not far away, Stella said, “I suddenly feel a bit uncomfortable. Can
you please wait…”
One of the men turned around expressionlessly, “Ms. Radomil, we’re here to help you. I hope you won’t
play any tricks.”
Stella bit her lower lip, “I didn’t. You also see my bulging belly. Can I play any trick? Normally, a
pregnant woman will have many problems… I can’t control it.”
“What do you want to do?”
“I…” Stella looked around and pointed at the overgrown bush wood, “I want to pee. Can you stay here
and wait for me for a while?”
The security guard seemed to be impatient. He didn’t want to agree to it.
Stella was a bit annoyed, “I’m so weak now. Can I run away? Moreover, the child in my belly is a
descendent of the Conrad family. He’s not a convict. Aren’t you afraid that I will complain about your
poor attitude to Mrs. Conrad?”
The man wanted to say something, but the other security guard stopped her and said to Stella, “Go.
We will wait for you here.”
“Thank you.”
Stella slowly walked to the bush wood.
When she disappeared in their vision, the man complained to his companion, “Why did you agree to it?
It will delay our schedule.”
His companion replied, “Even if she is planning to run away, this passage is the only road in this area.
Moreover, she’s pregnant with a child now and her belly is bulging. I don’t think that she can run away.
Rest assured, there won’t be any problems.”
The man pulled a long face. He didn’t reply and simply took a glance at his wristwatch to check the
time.
Ten minutes later, the man vaguely felt that something had gone wrong and ran towards the bush
wood. Unexpectedly, when he arrived there, Stella’s voice sounded from behind the bush, “Don’t come
over.”
The man paused, “Ms. Radomil, aren’t you finished?”
Stella said, “I told you just now that pregnant woman will have many problems. You will understand it
when you have a wife.”
Ten minutes later, the man asked again, “Ms. Radomil.”
There was no reply.
The man felt it fishy and pushed open the bush, only to find that no one was behind it. There was only
the phone given by Joanna.
Then the man checked the phone and opened the call records. He then realized that Stella had the
conversation with him through a call just now.
The man cursed and then turned around, shouting, “She runs away. Chase her.”
When they disappeared in her vision, Stella came out from the other side of the bush.
With her hands on her waist, she heaved a sigh of relief heavily.
She managed to deceive them.
Stella asked Sherry to check the geography before. Although generally speaking people could only
leave through one road if they left from the back door of the Conrad family, there was a small path
beside the road. If she walked along the small path for about half an hour, she would get to the road
down the hill.
Nevertheless, just as Stella had taken two steps, she felt a sudden chillness from her neck. A cold male
voice sounded from behind her, “Don’t move.”
Stella stopped. She felt that he was a ferocious man. The dagger he was holding was very sharp and
she felt a stinging pain from her neck.
The man threw a silk scarf to her, “Cover your eyes.”
Stella did as he had ordered.
After she covered her eyes with the silk scarf, the man confined her hands at her back and tied them
up. He then pushed her shoulders, “Move forward.”
When they walked into a black car, the man opened the door and let her get on the car.
He said, “I will not hurt you temporarily as long as you can cooperate with me.”
After finishing the words, the man walked to the driver’s seat.
Stella felt shaking from the car at the next moment. She guessed the man had started the car.
After a short while, she asked, “Did you wait here a long while ago?”
The man ignored her.
“If I didn’t attract their attention just now, what are you going to do? Can you win them?” Stella paused
and then suddenly laughed, “I think you will win them. The combination of all of them is still not a match
for you.”
The man was silent for a while before saying again, “Do you know who I am?”
Stella replied, “I remember your voice.”
She added in a flat tone, “Whenever I’m overwhelmed by despair, you would show up. As this happens
several times, I gradually remember your voice.”
Adolph didn’t say anything else and focus all his attention on the situation of the road.
After a short while, the men that were chasing Stella showed up.
They also heard the commotions from behind. When they turned around, their expressions changed
dramatically. They rushed over hoping to stop them, but Adolph stepped on the accelerator and hit two
men onto the ground.
As Stella’s eyes were covered by the silk scarf, she couldn’t see anything and could only sense the
violent shaking from the car. It seemed like it hit on something.
Stella suppressed her nausea and moved to a relatively safe and stable position.
After several minutes, the car drove to the hillside.
Three cars were waiting there.
Adolph said, “Looks like they’re here to save you.”
Stella was stunned. She then smiled, “Maybe.”
Adolph, still without any trace of hesitation, rushed towards them.
The men waiting for them there seemed to have some scruples about Adolph as they didn’t stop him
forcibly. When Adolph was about to hit them, they moved aside quickly.
In a blink of an eye, the black car disappeared in the night.
Nathan came out of the car dejectedly. He hurriedly made a phone call to Clarence, “Mr. Conrad, Mrs.
Conrad was brought away by someone and we failed to retain them.”
…
In the Conrad family…
Clarence hung up his phone and strode towards the outside with a hideous face.
Seeing this, Phoebe hurriedly put down the glass of champagne in her hand and followed him, “Clare,
where are you going?”
Clarence didn’t reply; instead, he quickened his pace.
“Clare.”
Phoebe ran after him to the lobby and grabbed his arm, “Today is our debut to the public ever since the
announcement of our engagement. How can you leave like this? What should I do then?”
Clarence turned around and took a glance at her, “I’ve agreed to your requirements. Why do you care
about this?”
“But if you leave now, wouldn’t your father have some doubts about it? Then what’s the meaning of the
things you do recently? Believe me, nothing will happen to Ms. Radomil. When this comes to an end, I
will go to find her together with you.”
Clarence slowly withdrew his arm from her grip. His voice was icy-cold, “The things I do recently are
not only for her sake. But if she has any accidents, Phoebe, you should be clear of the consequence.”
He then shoved her hand off. Phoebe was frozen. She could only watch him leaving.
At the same time, Dempsey, who was talking with his guests, suddenly got the news from his man,
saying that Stella was taken away by another person.
Dempsey’s expression froze. He gave an order in a low voice.
Joanna, who also received the same news, looked calm. It was as if she didn’t care about it at
all.
