The next day, when Stella was in a daze from the sleep, she heard the doorbell ringing.
She turned over, kicked Clarence, and buried her head into the pillow. “Go open the door.”
A few seconds later, he lifted the quilt, walked to the foyer and opened the door.
“Stella, Sherry…”
Seeing his sullen face, Elaine was stunned and simply stared at him with her big eyes.
He asked without any expression, “What is it? Say it.”
She felt cool air coming towards her and she could not say a word.
Seeing that she did not speak, he was about to close the door when she perked up the greatest
courage of her life to squeeze in through the door.
As she ran inside, she shouted, “Stella, help!”
When she ran to the bedroom door, Stella had already walked out with a sleepy face, rubbing her eyes
and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Elaine stood in front of her and swallowed before saying, “It’s Sherry. I just went to look for her and
found her crying under the covers all the time. I asked her what was wrong but she would not say.”
Then she added with worries, “Stella, is Sherry still blaming me? I know it’s my fault. If she wants to
beat me or scold me, I am okay and I won’t fight back.”
Hearing this, Stella got sobered up a bit. “I will go over and take a look first.”
Elaine nodded and followed behind her.
When they walked several steps, they noticed Clarence who had a cold face at the foyer. Elaine got
frightened and hurriedly grabbed Stella’s clothes, leaving quickly.
When they arrived at the door of Sherry’s room, there were no more cries from inside.
Seeing Stella push the door open, Elaine got nervous and upset.
In the room, Sherry sat on the bed with listless and swollen eyes. And she was sobbing.
Stella slowly walked over, sat next to her and asked in a soft voice, “Sherry, what’s wrong?”
Hearing her voice, Sherry turned her head, hugged her and cried out with a wow. “Oh, I was wrong. All
I know was bluffing but I did not become a qualified scum girl as promised. So this is my punishment
from God…”
Stella felt confused and patted her back. “What exactly happened?”
Sherry cried again for a while before stopping and said with a sob, “Did Daniel call you?”
Stella was shocked, and then shook her head. “You got in touch with him, huh?”
“I… suddenly thought of watering his flowers last night and went to his house. But he came out of the
bedroom with a sexy woman.” Sherry cried more sadly, “I was wearing T-shirt and big pants at that
time. So I didn't seem so competitive…”
Stella did not quite understand her words. “Do you mean that Daniel has gone home and is with a
woman?”
Sherry came out of her arms and nodded with a sob.
Immediately afterward, she added, “You don’t have to care about his life and death. He is free and easy
on his own now.”
Stella frowned slightly and did not speak for a while.
Sherry said, “Stella, I saw it with my own eyes. Believe me.”
Stella retrieved her thoughts. “I believe you, but I feel a bit strange.”
“What’s so strange about it?” Sherry asked.
“Since Daniel has escaped and returned home, it means that he is safe. Although he did not tell us the
news, he should tell William, but now…” Stella said.
Sherry drew some tissue paper and wiped her tears. “Maybe he doesn’t want to be disturbed by
anyone. When he feels happy, he will tell you.”
Speaking of this, she cursed again, “He is a bastard! He does not tell us when he is safe, making me…
making you guys almost pay such a big price for him!”
Stella patted her shoulder. “Okay. I will talk to Clarence and William. You take a leave today. Have
some rest at home.”
“No need. I am not going to delay my work for him. We are together because of that baby. Since the
baby is gone, it’s time for me to part ways with him,” Sherry said.
Stella helped her wipe away tears that could not stop flowing. “But your eyes are swollen. You're still
going?”
Sherry then picked up her phone and looked at herself on the screen. Seeing her embarrassing look,
she felt even more frustrated and cried out on the pillow.
Stella said, “I will go make you breakfast. Eat and sleep well. Be good.”
Sherry was still crying while nodding slightly.
Stella then got up and went out of the room.
Seeing her close the door, Elaine, who was waiting outside, hurriedly went forward. “How is Sherry?”
Stella said, “It’s not because of you.”
Elaine let out a sigh of relief, and then instantly asked, “Then she…”
Stella made a shushing gesture towards her and pulled her out of the house.
Standing in the corridor, Stella said, “Sherry won’t go to the studio today. I should be there later than
usual. Are you staying home today or waiting for me to go together?”
Elaine thought about it. “I will go by myself. I know the way.”
Stella wasn't completely sure about letting her go to the studio alone. Elaine said, “Stella, I know you
are concerned about me. But I am old enough to protect myself. I promise you I will be fine. Even if
Uncle Caesar comes to me, I will not go with him.”
Stella thought about it. Clarence had sent people around her for protection. Now that Darnell was in the
City N, he must have also sent people around Elaine.
It should be fine.
So she said, “Take care on your way. When you arrive, call me.”
Elaine nodded seriously. “Okay.”
Before Elaine was about to leave, Stella pulled her back. “Have breakfast before you go.”
“No. There is a breakfast stall nearby that serves soy milk that I like. I will go buy that.”
“Okay, remember to call me when you arrive.”
At this time the elevator was coming down. Elaine ran over and waved at her. “Okay. Stella, you can go
back now.”
After watching her get into the elevator, Stella went back.
Clarence sat in the sofa, heard the movement from the door and spoke in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
Stella walked to sit next to him. “Sherry went to Daniel’s house last night and saw him with a woman.”
He paused for a few seconds and tilted his head. “When exactly?”
“I think it was in the middle of the night,” she replied.
She then added, “But I still feel strange about it. Since Daniel is out of danger, he has no reason not to
contact William.”
“Maybe he wants to have a few free days for himself,” he replied.
She angrily said, “Nonsense! Daniel is not such a man. William has told me that Daniel is actually his
adopted son. Unlike you who didn't worry about Nathan staying in the Conrad Group, he actually cares
that Daniel will not come back.”
What's this got to do with him? Clarence felt targeted.
