When Stella woke up the next day, she found the whole room filled with sunlight.
Feeling her whole body sore, she stretched out lazily and picked up her phone. Only then did she
realize that it was almost noon.
Stella abruptly opened her sleepy eyes. Why didn’t she hear the alarm?
When she hurriedly lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of the bed, she received a call from
Clarence.
He asked in a low voice, “Are you still in bed?”
Stella answered the call while walking to the bathroom, “I just woke up. Did you turn off my alarm?”
Clarence replied with a nasal sound and added, “Donald will take care of the affairs in Steward Group.
You can go there in the afternoon.”
Stella pouted, clasped her phone between the shoulder and her head and began to squeeze
toothpaste out of the tube, “I see. I have to wash myself. Let’s stop here.”
“Alisa has prepared lunch for you. Go out after having lunch.”
Stella subconsciously looked out of the door, “How can you read my mind?”
Clarence curled his lips into a smile, “I know everything. I will pick you up tonight.”
After ending the call, Stella washed herself as quickly as possible and changed her clothes. The
moment she went downstairs, she smelled the fragrance of food.
Hearing the footsteps, Alisa looked up at her, “Mrs. Conrad, good noon. Hurry up and have the lunch.”
Actually, before moving back to the Starry Lake Mansion, Stella had been reluctant to come back to
this place. After all, this place had left her many bitter memories.
However, maybe it was because the house was completely renovated, that weird feeling had
disappeared long ago. Now she only felt this place vivid and comfortable.
She had lived in many places, but only this house made her feel at home.
After lunch, Stella drove to the Steward Group.
Her assistant told her that Donald went out to deal with a matter and he would come back in an hour.
Stella nodded her hair and sat down by the desk.
Logan walked in after a short while, “Ms. Radomil, I haven’t seen Samuel today. Do you know where he
has been?”
Stella looked towards him, “What’s the matter?”
Logan smiled lightly, “Nothing. It’s just that I need to examine some documents together with him.”
“I don’t know where he has been. If it’s an emergent matter, you can give him a call.”
Samuel was responsible for many affairs and he would not stay in the company all day long. Therefore,
except for some emergent conditions, Stella would not ask about his whereabouts.
Logan said, “It’s not that urgent. I will deal with it when he comes back.”
Logan then put several documents in front of Stella, “Ms. Radomil, these documents require your
signatures.”
Stella involuntarily looked down and noticed a vague teeth print on his right hand.
Noticing her gaze, Logan hurriedly retreated his hand and hid it behind his back. He explained with a
smile, “My daughter was angry at me last night and bit my hand. It’s awkward to let you see this, Ms.
Radomil.”
Stella said in a calm voice, “It doesn’t matter.”
She turned the page of a document and took a glance. It was all about some insignificant affairs of the
company.
It was just that when she just took charge of the company, she claimed that all affairs in the company,
big or small, should obtain her consent.
After signing the documents, Stella handed them to Logan and said, “Did Armand make a fuss in these
two days?”
“Mr. Bernard went to the police station and made a fuss there, but it didn’t work. The police told him to
wait for the result of the investigation.” Logan paused and then added, “Ms. Radomil, I think Mr.
Bernard seems to be so anxious. But as for the reason, I think it’s not because he is regarded as a
murderer. Instead, he seems to be in a hurry to leave City N.”
Stella didn’t change her expression. “If he’s innocent, he can go anywhere as he likes when the result
comes out. But if he’s really a murderer, he can’t leave the city even if he’s so anxious.”
Logan moved her lips trying to say something, yet he noticed that Stella had lowered her head and
focused on her affairs again. It seemed like she had no interest in this matter.
Therefore, he didn’t say anything else and just turned around and left.
Clarence must know about what Armand planned to do. Since he had put that thing in Samuel’s office,
the rest of matters would have nothing to do with him.
If he acted so anxiously, it would only backfire.
After Logan’s leaving, Stella lifted her head and looked towards the door, seeming to be pondering
something.
She remembered that when she bumped into Logan at the downstairs of the company yesterday, his
right hand was bleeding and he explained that he accidentally fell and caused the bleeding.
But just now, he said it was bit by his daughter.
Even if his words were all true that he fell and was also bit by his daughter…
There was only a teeth mark on the back of his right hand without any traces of falling.
Moreover, the teeth mark was deep.
Stella guessed the bloodstains on her sleeve were also caused by this.
If that was the case, it could only prove that Logan was lying to her.
When thinking of this, Stella slightly frowned as she couldn’t figure out why he would lie to her on this
matter.
Was there any secret behind this?
In the afternoon, Stella received a phone call from Sherry.
Sherry’s asked in a low voice, “Stella, are you free now?”
Stella replied, “Yep. What’s the matter?”
Sherry said after a while of silence, “Can you accompany me to the hospital?”
Stella roughly guessed what she intended to do when she heard the news. “Have you decided on it?”
asked Stella.
“Yep. I’ve made up my mind long ago.”
Stella asked again, “What’s Daniel’s opinion?”
Sherry replied, “I tentatively asked him about this matter this morning, but he didn’t give me a direct
answer. I can roughly guess what he’s thinking. It’s meaningless to ask too many questions about it. He
went out this noon, so I want to take the opportunity to abort the child as soon as possible. I don’t want
to be trapped in this problem.”
Stella slightly pressed her lips together, “Okay. I will come to pick you up.”
“Don’t bother. I’ve called a taxi. Let’s meet in the hospital.”
After ending the call, Stella heaved a long sigh, picked up her bag and stood up.
When she walked to the door, she bumped into Donald who just came back from outside.
Donald asked, “Where are you going?”
“I have to go out to deal with a matter.” Stella stopped and kept down her voice, “I think Logan’s
behavior is weird. Investigate what he has done in these two days.”
Donald was stunned and then immediately replied, “I see.”
It was true that Logan’s behavior was very weird and he was a cunning person. Vincent told Donald
yesterday that their men had been following Logan recently. But maybe it was because of the heavy
rain, the lost track of him for more than half an hour yesterday.
When Stella arrived at the hospital, she found Sherry had been there.
Sherry nervously grabbed Stella’s hand, “Stella, I’m a bit scared. Will it be painful?”
Stella hugged her and said in a gentle voice, “It’s painful. It hurts so much.”
It would not only hurt physically but also mentally.
Sherry took a deep breath. Although she had prepared herself mentally in advance, she still
involuntarily shivered all over.
No matter what, the child was once alive in her belly.
She didn’t want to abort it.
But she had no choice, nor was she able to take care of him. She didn’t dare to give birth to the baby
like Stella and take care of him alone.
She would rather make a choice that was good for both parties.
