Since Clarence returned to the country by helicopter, Vincent directly brought Stella to his private
airport.
Stella said, “You can go back. I will wait for him here.”
Vincent nodded. He did have a lot of follow-up work to deal with.
He replied, “If something happens, you call me.”
“Okay.”
After Vincent had left, Stella leaned on the car window and looked out the window quietly.
After dealing with a lot of matters for the whole night, the light from the sun already began to appear in
the sky at that moment.
Soon, it would be daytime.
Stella was in a daze. She didn’t know when she had fallen asleep.
She was awakened by the vibrations of her phone.
Stella opened her eyes and noticed that Channing was calling her.
She cleared her throat and accepted the call, “Chan, what’s wrong?”
Channing said in a deep voice, “Where are you now?”
“I…”
There were words on the tip of her tongue, but Stella was unable to say them. Since Chan called her
so early in the morning and he spoke in such a tone, she figured out that it was most likely that he was
already aware of the things that happened last night.
She said softly, “I am at the airport. I am waiting for Clarence to come back.”
Channing replied, “Send me the address. I will go and find you.”
Stella said, “There is no need for that. I am fine. You should study well in school.”
Channing frowned, “The matter is so serious. Is it possible that you are fine?”
After she had left the Conrads’ Mansion, Stella did nothing except that she gave Vincent a call. She
didn’t use her phone after that, so she didn’t know how serious the matter had become.
She gave a chuckle, “I am really fine. If something happened to me, can I still sit here and talk to you
now on the phone? The Conrad family is just bluffing. They don’t dare to touch me.”
Channing pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.
Stella said, “All right, you should go to school now. Two days later, I will see you in school.”
“There is no need for that.” Channing said, “I will go to the condominium unit at night.”
“Ah…. That is fine too. I will also go back at night.”
After ending the call, Stella checked her phone and saw that she had two missed calls from Sherry.
Sherry had also sent some messages to her.
Maybe she didn’t hear it because she was in deep sleep.
Stella noticed that her phone battery was low, so she didn’t return Sherry’s call. Instead, Stella sent a
message to Sherry to inform Sherry that she was safe.
Since her phone still had a little power, Stella went on the Internet and took a glance at some articles.
There were several relevant articles reporting her disappearance after the party in the Conrads’
Mansion.
But there were also clarifications of the incident. Some articles reported that her disappearance was
just a misunderstanding.
It was obvious that the Conrad family had interfered with this matter.
This incident actually didn’t cause a huge stir. Everyone didn’t take it seriously.
Only the people who were close to her knew that this incident was definitely not a misunderstanding.
This was the reason why Chan and Sherry called her.
Before Stella could continue to look at the articles, her phone shut off due to lack of power.
After putting down her phone, she let out a breath and closed her eyes again.
Soon, someone knocked on the window of the car.
Stella lowered the window of the car.
The person who was outside the car handed her a bag, “Ms. Radomil, there are food and water inside
the bag.”
Stella took the bag, “Thank you.”
After pausing for a while, she then said, “What is the time now?”
“It is half past nine.”
“How long does it take for Clarence to arrive?”
“Mr. Conrad should arrive at three o’clock in the afternoon.”
Stella nodded, “Please bring me a charger.”
“Sure. Ms. Radomil, please wait for a while.”
Stella placed the bag beside her, got out of the car and moved her limbs.
After the staff had given her the charger, she thanked him and sat on the driver’s seat.
Instead of waiting for him here, it would be better for her to go to the office of the Steward Group.
After her phone had been fully charged, Stella informed the staff who was outside the car that she was
leaving and drove her car away.
Stella arrived at the building of the Steward Group. Just after she entered the office, Logan followed her
into the office, “Ms. Radomil, are you fine?”
Stella took her seat and smiled faintly, “I am fine. What’s wrong?”
“After the news of your disappearance appeared yesterday, Samuel, a few people and I went to the
Conrads’ Mansion, but Master Conrad said that you weren’t there. After that, we received news that
you had returned home so we left.”
Stella remembered the commotion last night and asked, “Were there many people there last night?”
Logan nodded, “Other than us, there were some reporters from several news outlets. As for the
others…I am not sure about their identities.”
Stella replied, “I understand. Thank you. All of you have worked hard.”
Those people should have relations with Daniel.
Logan said, “It is great that Ms. Radomil is fine. I will go and do my work now.”
“Okay.”
After Logan had left, Stella rubbed her temples. Just when she accessed her designs, Donald walked
into the office, “Finally, I see that you are alive and sitting in front of me. I was almost going to be sent
to the crematorium straight away.”
Stella didn’t reply to his words.
Donald sat across from her, “How was it? You ventured into dangerous territory last night. Did you find
any clues?”
Stella pursed her lips, “All of you already knew about their plan of tricking me into entering the Conrads’
Mansion by making use of Justin’s injuries.”
Donald forced a laugh, “We didn’t think it through. Otherwise, we would not have put you in danger.”
Stella shook her head, “Actually, I was not in danger when I was there. They only wanted to use me so
that Clarence would agree to their terms. If I wasn’t there, Clarence would be in real danger.”
“What do you mean?”
“Justin told me that they had two plans. One plan was to use me to threaten Clarence last night. The
other plan was that if the first plan had failed, they would let Clarence stay in London forever as a last
resort.”
Donald frowned, “Whose plan was this?”
Stella replied, “The people who Justin mentioned should be Dempsey and Joanna.”
“Then, when did Justin know this?”
“Justin should have known this for a short time. He said that they only informed him after they had
prepared everything.” Stella added, “He helped them to keep me there for Clarence’s sake.”
Donald remained silent for a while, “That was also understandable. If Justin knew their plan in advance,
he would have stopped them.”
Stella said, “It was likely that they had prepared their plan this time for a long time. Therefore, I was
previously very worried about Clarence.”
Donald said, “Since Clarence went there this time because of an unexpected situation of the company
in London, they were indeed unprepared. If they made all the preparations to deal with Clarence in
advance, it would be quite troublesome indeed. But you should rest assured. Even if this happened, it
would not be easy for them to let Clarence stay in London forever.”
“As long as Clarence is fine, I am fine with everything.” Stella paused for a while and then said,
“Then… Since Clarence has now agreed to their terms, is there any other way to salvage the
situation?”
Donald laughed, “There is no need to hurry. You will know it when Clarence returns to the country.”
