Prev Chapter Next Chapter

After returning to her room, Stella locked the door and sat herself in front of her desk and began

studying the equity transfer letter.

However, even after a few times going through it, she still couldn’t find anything fishy about it.

Stella found that her eyes were stinging after focusing on the document for such a long time, so she put

down the document and entered the bathroom.

After emerging from it, she continued to focus on her work which she had brought back from her

workshop.

When she finished the initial draft, it was already dawn.

Stella let out a yawn while stretching herself. Then, she checked her phone and realized that there

were two missed calls from Clarence two hours ago.

She immediately replied with a text, ‘What’s wrong?’

Clarence replied, ‘Why are you not picking up?’

Stella, ‘I was completing my draft just now.’

She mulled over something and then she continued typing.

Stella, ‘Are you still at the company?’

Clarence, ‘Yes. I am still in a meeting.’

Stella, ‘Then why were you trying to call me?’

Clarence, ‘There was a ten minutes break just now.’

Stella, ‘…’

Stella, ‘Pay attention to your meeting. I am going to sleep now.’

This bastard could divide his attention even during a meeting.

Stella was lying in bed and scrolling through her phone, but somehow she saw a picture of the little

kiddo taken at the Anqiao Street long ago.

Stella scrutinized the phone and immediately her smile widened.

She was so cute.

After admiring the photo, she lied back down on her pillows and reminisced about what had happened

recently, especially the part about her meeting with that kiddo.

Soon, she drifted off into dreamland unknowingly.

In her dreams, she heard someone calling her as her mother, but that person was a blurred image. She

couldn’t get a good look at the identity.

Stella was sweating profusely. The more she tried to reach that person, the further that voice sounded.

All of a sudden, she sprang up abruptly from her sleep.

Stella sat on her back and watched the gloomy sky outside her window. She could hear water pelting

on the roof too.

She looked at the clock. It was seven thirty.

Stella was still recovering from the shock of that dream. When she went to the bathroom, she realized

that her period had occurred. A sense of fear suddenly gripped her.

Was that bastard right on the mark? That she was having premenstrual syndrome?

Stella washed up herself with a hot bath and took a change of attire before going out.

After putting down her draft in her workshop, she immediately headed to the most famous law firm in

City N.

After the receptionist learnt of her intention here, she led Stella to an office and told her, “Please wait

for a while here. The lawyer will be here soon.”

“Alright.”

Immediately after she took a seat, the receptionist served her a cup of water.

Stella thanked her, “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome. Our lawyer will be available in five minutes.”

After announcing that, the receptionist took her leave.

Stella stared at the wide space in this office before returning it to a document lying on the table. Her

brows couldn’t help but knit together.

What kind of trap was Charles planning for her?

She really couldn’t see how things would go from here.

When she was still racking her brain, the door of the office was pushed open and a male voice broke

the silence, “I’m sorry, there is some incident on my way here, sorry for letting you wait for…”

Stella turned around and saw that a man was fixing his hair while adjusting his tie. She stayed silent for

a few seconds.

Did this man come here in a hangover state?

Donald wouldn’t have thought that she would turn out to be the one who came this early in the morning

for legal problems, so he laughed, “Why, are you here to ask about divorce proceedings? If that is the

case, I will be your representative for free.”

Stella got up, “No, thanks.”

Seeing that she was about to leave, Donald immediately stood in her way, “I am here now. Where are

you going so soon?”

“Suddenly… I have matters to attend to. We will talk about this in the future.”

Donald didn’t believe her. Just from the gaze in her eyes he had gotten the message that she didn’t

trust in his abilities as a lawyer and was well on her way to get another representative. He immediately

replied, “I am the ace of your firm, and you can’t find anymore more reliable than me in the whole of

City N now.”

Stella replied, “Didn’t you say that your family has an entertainment company under its name?”

“That’s true, but that didn’t stop me from becoming a lawyer.” As he said that, he sighed, “Perhaps I am

the type you always hear about, the type that is forced to go back to becoming a second-generation

rich if I ruin my lawyer career.”

Stella was speechless upon hearing that.

Donald walked towards his desk as he continued, “There was an international case that I had attended

to previously, and that made me stay in Sydney for one year before coming back. Hey, you should take

a seat, we are family, so don’t stand on ceremony.”

Stella flashed a perfunctory smile and decided that she would just go with the flow. This is a major law

firm in this city, and it would be laughable and self-deprecating if they had allowed a bastard like that to

work here.

She sat down in front of Donald and then pushed the documents in her hands towards him, “I want you

to help me skim through this equity transfer letter.”

Upon hearing that, Donald sounded a little disappointed, “So it’s not about divorce?”

Stella’s eyelids jumped slightly, but she wasn’t about to answer that.

Indeed, Donald’s professionalism could be trusted. He skimmed through the pages quickly and

immediately voiced his opinion, “This doesn’t have any problems. It’s just a normal equity transfer

letter, and it will come into effect the moment you sign on it.”

“Isn’t there any catch hidden within those terms?”

“I can’t see something like that at first place, but we can dissect this from various angles. The important

thing here is the purpose behind this person willing to transfer his stocks to you.” Donald rambled on,

but suddenly as if remembering something, he paused and leafed through the document from the

beginning again. Then, he gasped, “The Steward family? Why is Charles transferring ten percent of his

stocks to you?”

Stella answered without any emotion, “Maybe it’s because of my pretty face.”

“You are not wrong on that… but this is a little….”

Stella took back the document and said abruptly, “I understand everything now. Thanks.”

As she said that, she was about to head out to pay for this consultation.

Donald immediately said, “Hey, although I can’t analyse everything on the spot here, but you better

don’t sign this equity transfer letter. There must be a trap hiding in there.”

Stella nodded without a sound. Then, she thanked him again and left.

After the door of his office was shut, Donald was still feeling strange about this whole thing. Why did

Clarence’s wife involve herself with Charles? He pressed his temples and cursed at himself for drinking

too much yesterday, why played a part in him unable to come up with any conjecture now.

He dialled Clarence’s number and broached the topic, “Your wife has come to see me.”

Clarence said, “Is it about the equity transfer letter?”

Donald was caught off guard, “How do you know about that?”

“I have known about it since yesterday.”

He had been paying attention to Charles, so no matter what moves he was pulling, he would know it

immediately.

“The strange thing about it is that it doesn’t have any problems. It’s just your typical equity transfer

letter… let me talk about something else now. What is the relationship between your wife and Charles?

She has to be his real daughter in order to get this kind of treatment, no?”

“I’m hanging up now.”

The line was replaced with a busy tone, which made Donald feel like he had been humiliated.

He still couldn’t find the whole thing believable, so he immediately turned on his laptop and started to

search some keywords.

Immediately, he felt like the door to a new world was blown open right in front of him.
