They decided to meet on in a private club on the next day. As Stella had mentioned this to Cameron in
advance, Cameron immediately agreed to it when she mentioned this again.
In the morning, when Stella left the Stewards’ Mansion, Charles and Phoebe hadn’t gone downstairs.
Therefore, she wrote down the address of appointment and asked a maid to give it to them.
Since Charles had agreed to it under yesterday’s situation, he would definitely not suddenly go back on
his words.
After leaving the Stewards’ Mansion, Stella directly went to Channing’s school.
Channing received her phone call and then went to the gate of the school, “Why are you here?”
Stella said, “You don’t have any class today, right? I will bring you to a place.”
“It’s on weekend. I have no class.”
“All right. Get into the car.”
Originally, Channing wanted to tell her that he had to deal with some other matters. But he pressed her
thin lips together and didn’t say anything in the end.
On the way, Stella asked, “How’s your relationship with Winnie?”
Channing asked, “What?”
“Didn’t you come to her home last week? Wasn’t there any progress?”
Channing, “…”
After a long while, he said in a low voice, “What progress do you expect?”
He had never thought of having something with Winnie.
Stella knew her brother best than anyone else. Sensing his dejection, she said in a soft voice, “Don’t be
dejected. It seems like Winnie never says that she won’t accept to have a relationship with a man
younger than her. How about this? I will ask her about this when I’ free.”
“No thanks.” Channing looked out of the window, “My mind is not on this matter now.”
Stella asked, “Then what are you thinking? Your study?”
The moment she uttered the words, she realized that she was really a negative example.
Channing was focused on his study, yet she instigated him to have a relationship.
“…” Channing said, “Nope. I’m busy with some other matters.”
“Does it matters? You can keep a balance between study and dating. Moreover, you’re into her, right?
Just try it.”
Channing finally withdrew his lines of sights and asked, “How do you know?”
Stella pointed at her eyes, “I’m your sister. Even Clarence has perceived it, how can’t I know it?”
“Have you told her?”
“Of course not. I’m now asking about your opinion.”
Channing recalled the scenes when he met with Winnie recently. After a long while, he said, “Let’s talk
about this later.”
Stella raised her brows, “Okay.”
Channing looked out of the window and then asked, “Where are we going?”
“Go to an appointment with Charles and Phoebe.”
Channing knitted his brows when he heard the words, “Why do we come to meet with them?”
Stella explained it slowly, “I required Phoebe to apologize to you in person, and they agreed to it.”
Channing pressed his lips together and then said, “You don’t need to do so. I just wish that…” You can
live a happy life.
“Of course it’s necessary. I can’t allow you to be aggrieved. Otherwise, they may think that we’re easy
to be trifled with.”
…
When they arrived at the club, they found that Cameron had arrived there. He was sitting at a table and
drinking tea lazily.
Stella pushed open the door of the private room and said, “Mr. Thomas, sorry for keep you waiting.”
Cameron replied with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. I just arrived here not long ago.”
As he spoke, he looked towards the person behind Stella and studied him from top and toe, “Is this
your brother?”
Stella nodded her head and said to Channing, “Chan, this is Mr. Thomas.”
Channing slightly nodded his head at him and greeted, “Mr. Thomas.”
Cameron withdrew his lines of sights. He put two cups opposite to his cup and poured tea into them
one by one, “Come here and take a seat.”
After they seated themselves, Cameron looked towards Channing again, “Young boy, how old are
you?”
“Nineteen.”
“You’re still a university student, right? Which grade are you in?”
“I’m a freshman.”
Cameron picked up his tea cup and nodded his head graciously with satisfaction, “I heard that you
have good performance in study and the grades you got in the national college entrance examination
ranked the first in your province.”
Cameron still remembered that there was a small episode on this matter.
Someone bought an admission letter to the university. But that person was so insensible that he bought
the admission letter of Channing, the person who got the highest grades in the national college
entrance examination among the whole province.
Later, the admission letter was returned to its original owner.
This matter happened several months ago. Normally Cameron would not have any interest in matters
like this. But he didn’t expect that the person who got the highest grades among the whole province
would be the young boy in front of him. This boy somehow looked like Miranda.
Proverb had it that daughters are always like their fathers while sons are always like their mothers.
Stella looked a bit like her biological father. But as for this young boy, Cameron was not sure of it.
When thinking of this, Cameron secretly heaved a sigh.
After exchanging several sentences, Stella also found that Cameron had been fixing his eyes on
Channing. Knowing that maybe it was because of her mother, Stella said, “I will let the waiters to make
a pot of tea.”
When she prepared to stand up, the door of the private room was opened.
But the one coming was not Phoebe, but a maid of the Steward family.
The maid spoke gingerly, “Ms. Radomil, Ms. Steward had a car accident on the way here. She’s sent to
the hospital…”
Stella groaned an answer in a bland voice and then asked, “Where did she get hurt?”
“I don’t know yet. But she bled a lot and it was quite serious.”
Stella said, “Now that this is the case, I have to go to the hospital to visit her.”
The maid hurriedly said, “No… No need…”
Stella thought that Charles wouldn’t suddenly go back on his words, but she didn’t expect that Phoebe
would act miserably to win sympathy.
Tee maid walked over with a box, “Ms. Radomil, Ms. Steward instructed me to give this thing to you.”
Stella took the box from the maid and then opened it. The thing inside was the pocket watch necklace
she designed for the charity party before.
Initially, she thought that it was hidden by Modesty, but she didn’t expect that it had been kept by
Phoebe.
Seeing that Stella still remained silent, the maid could only brace herself and continued, “Ms…Ms.
Steward said that she picked up this thing beside a trash can several months ago. She found these
when she sorted out her things last night and found that your name was engraved on the necklace.
She thought that maybe this is yours, so she…”
Stella shut the lid and said, “Seems like Ms. Steward is good at picking things others lost.”
Stella knew that Phoebe wanted to let her regard this necklace as her apology.
It made sense. Phoebe was so arrogant that she wouldn’t want to apologize to Channing because she
thought it a humiliation.
Cameron waved at the maid who was standing aide, gesturing her to leave.
When the door of the private room was closed again, Cameron said, “Stella, you don’t need to be angry
at the Stewards. It’s not worthy. Since they’ve done those evildoings, they will suffer the consequences
one day.”
Stella put down the box, smiled and then lightly nodded her head.
Cameron then said to Channing, “You too. You shall wait patiently for several more days.”
Channing didn’t have any objection to it and said, “Okay.”
Then they began to drink tea. After a while, Cameron stood up, “All right, I will not bother you. I will go
back first.”
Stella said, “Let me send you off.”
“Just send me to the downstairs. My driver is waiting for me there.”
Stella sent Cameron downstairs and watched him getting into the car. When the car disappeared in her
vision, Stella withdrew her gaze and said, “Let me send you back to the school.”
Channing shook his head, “No need. I have to deal with some matters now.”
“Where are you going? Let me give you a ride.”
Channing spoke after a short while of silence, “I have been keeping this matter a secret to
you.”
