After getting into the car, Lyndon pulled down his tie with gloominess written all over his face. He
asked, “Where’s Phoebe?”
The driver replied, “Ms. Steward is on the way there.”
Lyndon turned around to take a glance and then said restlessly, “Quicker.”
The things happened tonight were actually out of his expectation. Initially he had planned to give the
Steward Group to Stella and let her assume all the subsequent liabilities. He even asked someone to
set fire in the Stewards’ Mansion, but he didn’t expect that many things out of his expectation would
happen.
The driver took a glance at the rear-view mirror and his tone of voice subconsciously became nervous.
“Chairman, several cars have been following us.”
Lyndon knitted his brows tightly. He didn’t expect that they would be able to chase after them so soon.
He ordered in a cold voice, “Drive to the overpass.”
“Aren’t we going to the airport?”
“Nope.” Lyndon narrowed his eyes and then asked, “Go to the helicopter hardstand.”
“But what about Ms. Steward?”
Lyndon interrupted him, “I can’t take this into consideration now.”
The driver didn’t speak again. He stepped on the accelerator and drove to the overpass.
The driver of the car following them didn’t expect this and lost track of them. But the other cars
following behind caught up them again.
Seeing this situation, Lyndon was clutched by a foreboding.
It seemed like them had arranged a tight encirclement.
…
In the airport…
Phoebe was waiting for them in the VIP waiting room. She took out her phone impatiently to check the
time, but when she unlocked her phone, she received a news notification.
When seeing the words ‘Steward Group’, she hurriedly clicked the news.
The news exposed all the things happened at the anniversary celebration of the Steward Group and it
even pointed out in the end that the current chairman of the Steward Group might not be Charles, but
Lyndon who was supposed to die in the explosion twenty years ago.
Phoebe abruptly widened her eyes. She carefully read the whole news. Except for the report of the
relevant projects of the Steward Group, only one sentence mentioned Charles and Lyndon.
Phoebe hurriedly dialed Lyndon, but she couldn’t connect him.
She instantly felt all her hair standing up and all the flowing blood in her body seemed to be frozen.
Phoebe clenched her phone tightly and quickly stood up.
Her subordinate asked, “Ms. Steward, what’s the matter?”
Phoebe pulled herself back to the reality, trying to remain calm, “Nothing. I want to go to the toilet.”
Her subordinate nodded his head, “We will board the plan in twenty minutes. Please come back as
soon as possible.”
Phoebe groaned an answer and then left with her phone.
After taking several steps, she turned around and took a glance at her subordinate who was waiting for
her in the room. She suddenly shifted her direction and walked out of the airport.
It was such a big event, yet she couldn’t get through to her dad. Therefore, she couldn’t leave as
schedule.
As expected, two minutes after Phoebe’s leaving, a group of people walked over and detained Phoebe
and her luggage.
…
In the hotel…
When the emergency light lit up, the crowd became nervous. Stella left Clarence’s embrace and found
Aaron who was hiding in a corner, “Are you alright?”
Aaron hid the hatred on his face and smiled at her, “Hey beautiful lady, we meet again…”
Before he could finish the words, someone grabbed his collar from behind and distanced him from
Stella.
Clarence’s flat voice sounded, “It’s fine for you to call her lady. Why did you add the adjective
randomly?”
Aaron struggled out of his confinement with dissatisfaction and hid himself behind Stella, “It’s the truth
that she’s beautiful. Was I wrong?”
Clarence narrowed his black eyes and landed his gaze on Aaron’s arm which was wrapped around
Stella’s. He warned him, “Come here.”
“No!” Aaron looked up at Stella, “Stella, help me. This mister is so horrifying. He sent me back and beat
me up last time.”
Clarence said, “If you don’t come here, do you believe that I will beat you up here?”
Stella felt dizzy by their argument. She reached out to pull Clarence, “All right, enough. Didn’t you see
that he was frightened?”
Stella turned around and rubbed Aaron’s head, “It’s fine now. You…”
Initially Stella wanted to ask Aaron why he was here, but she suddenly recalled the scene when he
accused Lyndon just now. She moved her lips and was suddenly lost for words.
Aaron replied, “Stella, my name is Aaron White and then all call me Aaron. You can also call me so.”
Looking at him, Stella curled her lips into a smile, “Who did you come with?”
Aaron rolled his eyes, subconsciously let go of Stella and took several steps backward. It seemed like
he didn’t want to answer this question.
Seeing this, Stella didn’t probe into this question. She looked towards Clarence and said, “This matter
is almost over, right?”
Clarence replied with a nasal sound.
“Then let’s go.” Stella then said to Aaron, “Let us send you back, okay?”
Aaron nodded his head, “Okay.”
Clarence knitted his brows. He controlled his temper and didn’t say anything.
At this time, the guests in the banquet hall had almost left.
When Stella took Aaron to the door, she saw Emmett walking towards them.
Emmett stopped in front of them, “Stella.”
When speaking, he landed his gaze on Aaron, “I come to pick him up.”
Disappointed, Aaron lowered his head and walked to Emmett slowly, “Stella, Emmett will send me
back. I can’t come back with you.”
Clarence shot a glance at him and said in a flat tone, “Focus on your study after coming back and mind
your words.”
Aaron, who looked dejected just now, instantly stuck out his tongue towards Clarence. He then turned
around and ran away.
Emmett chucked, “Mr. Conrad, Stella, I will leave first.”
Stella nodded her head and waved at him. “Good bye.”
Unexpected, the moment she lifted her hand, it was pulled down by Clarence and wrapped by his big
palm.
Stella, “…”
Was it necessary?
Luckily, Emmett didn’t say anything. He turned around and left with Aaron.
Stella turned around and looked at Clarence expressionlessly, “It’s fine even though you require me not
to meet Emmett again. Why did you bully a child?”
“Did I bully him? Didn’t you see how arrogant he was?”
Stella didn’t want to argue with him on this matter. After a short while of silence, she suddenly realized
a thing, “Emmett brought him here, which meant that he must have been there. So it was not a
coincidence that Aaron came to Sherry for a contact method before?”
“Now you finally realize how scheming that little kid is.”
Stella was still bewildered, “But why did he come to Sherry? Sherry doesn’t have too much to do with
this matter…”
She abruptly paused as she realized something.
If Aaron didn’t approach Sherry with a purpose, then it was probable that his target was she herself.
Lyndon killed Aaron’s father. So at that time, he came to her because he thought she was Charles’
daughter?
