The dinner gathering ended at ten o'clock at night. Some of their boyfriends came to fetch them, some
took taxis home.
Sherry took out her car key from the purse, "How do you go back, Stella? Let me send you."
Stella smiled bitterly, "Clarence is coming to fetch me."
Sherry grunted and realized she asked a useless question.
"Let me wait together with you then, I'll leave once that wretched man is here," she said
The weather was getting warmer; the street was crowded and noisy.
Stella asked after a while, "Sherry, are you free tomorrow?"
"Yes, there's no photo-shoot tomorrow," she replied.
"Can you visit a place for me?" Stella asked, biting her lips.
"Sure, where is it?"
Stella took out an apartment card, "I'm not sure which unit is it but there are only four units per floor,
you might need to…"
"Knock on each door to ask?" Sherry took over the card, "No problem, tell me who and how the person
you are searching for looks like."
"A lady in her twenties, short hair, fair skin, and pretty looking," Stella explained.
"Is there any other special feature?"
Stella tried recalling, there was no special feature on Amanda. She added, "Try to go in after you found
her and see if there's a baby in the house. If yes, stop her and inform me at once, I'll come right away."
It was not possible to have someone similar to Amanda with a baby living on the same floor.
If there was, such a coincidence was man-made.
Sherry looked at Stella and realized that it was quite a serious matter, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it,"
she promised.
"There might be someone guarding outside, be careful not to be noticed," Stella reminded.
"Okay, consider it done."
The black Rolls Royce stopped in front of them as their conversation ended.
Sherry then waved at Stella, "I'm going, see you tomorrow."
Stella smiled, "See you tomorrow."
Clarence sent the designer to keep an eye on her, kept her busy, and diverted her attention. If he had
sent Amanda away, there was no reason for him to do so.
So she suspected that Amanda was still there.
But she couldn't go since Clarence's men knew her, they would notice her arrival right away.
The only way was to seek help from Sherry.
The car door was open from the inside, Clarence asked, "What are you waiting for?"
Stella stopped thinking and got in the car.
Clarence noticed her slightly depressed emotion, "Are you still experiencing emotionally unstable
before menstrual?"
Stella was speechless, she looked at the driver in front and threw a glance at Clarence, "Shut up."
Clarence raised his brow, "I'll bring you somewhere tomorrow."
"Where?"
"Anqiao Street."
Stella skipped a heartbeat hearing that. Clarence knew she sent Sherry to the apartment and wanted to
send her away?
Noticing her silence, Clarence asked, "Don't you want to go?"
Stella remained calm, "No, why are we going there?"
"The reconstruction starts the day after tomorrow, you like that place, don't you want to have a look one
last time?"
Stella wanted to reject, instead, she said, "Okay."
If she went with him, Clarence would let his guard down and she could keep an eye on him, ensuring
he didn't contact them.
…
On the other hand, Sherry parked her car and walked into her residence area, she felt someone was
following her but she has seen no one when she turned around.
A cold breeze brushed over her back, she rubbed her neck and thought she didn't drink any alcohol
tonight, how come she had an illusion?
Sherry grabbed tightly on her mobile and sped up.
The elevator arrived right on time, she immediately went in after the door was opened.
She let out a sigh of relief as she arrived at her apartment and pressed the passcode.
The door was opened and someone hugged her from behind as she entered her apartment.
"Sherry, I missed you so much, please forgive me, I promise I will cut ties with the woman, let's start
over."
Sherry smelled a strong scent of alcohol, as she struggled, she shouted, "Are you crazy? Stop acting
crazy here in the middle of the night, let me go or I'll call the police!"
Liam didn't let go, instead, he tightened his grab and started kissing her.
Sherry's arms were locked by him, she couldn't push him away, she could only avoid by moving her
head. She felt like killing him now, "Liam, are you insane? Last warning or I'll show you no mercy!"
"How? Oh, your boyfriend? Where is he? I knew he is not a decent guy the moment I laid eyes on him,
he is nothing compared to me, don't you remember how we used to be… Ouch!"
Sherry was pushed against the wall by a strong force while Liam who was behind her screamed in
agony.
Without even managed to turn her head, she heard Daniel, "Go in."
Sherry took a deep breath, grabbed on the door handle, hurried in, and closed the door.
She could hear the sound of Liam being beaten up behind the door.
It was not a fight; it was purely Liam being beaten up.
After a while, the sound subsided and Liam fled the scene.
Daniel asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"
Sherry squatted on the floor with her back against the door, sobbing, "Do I look okay to you?"
"I can't see."
Sherry turned speechless.
Daniel asked again, "Why don't you open the door and let me look at you?"
Sherry replied, still sobbing, "No, just go away."
"Do you want me to send you to the hospital then?"
Sherry was annoyed, "I said no, just go away, stop being a busy body."
Daniel was helpless, "Can you be a little rational? He was the one who attacked you, why are you
angry with me?"
"All men are trash!"
Daniel was speechless.
After a few seconds, he spoke again, "I'll go now?"
Sherry wrapped her legs with her arms and buried her head in her knees, ignoring him.
The surrounding was quiet while the footsteps and elevator sound was clear.
Soon, silence covered the entire place.
