After Channing left, Stella walked over to William. "Daddy, Channing..."
William nodded slightly and said, "I see. I have already made arrangements in London."
Stella paused and said, "Then will you go back to City N?"
"A part of the company's business has been transferred to City N and Daniel is in charge. Although the
remaining business is not much, it's trivial. I planned to examine the accounts once a month. Under the
current situation, it's better to wait until Chan finishes his studies there."
Stella nodded gently and said, "OK."
She had been worried about Chan being alone there for the past two years.
With William around, there was nothing to worry about.
She hoped that they would resolve the estrangement in their hearts in the two years.
William patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go back, I'll send you off."
"I came with Sherry. She's waiting for me outside."
"Then I'll walk you to the car."
After a distance, Stella suddenly said, "Daddy, did Daniel visit you?"
William replied, "He just called me and said he'll come later."
Stella opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She decided to let Daniel say it himself.
In the car, as soon as Sherry saw William from afar, she shrank back. After thinking over and over, she
got out of the car and greeted William as they approached. She stammered, "He...Hello... Uncle..."
William smiled, "Hello, Sorry to bother you to take care of Stella during the period."
"No... not at all. She's taking care of me. Besides, I'm living in your house. I'm so sorry to trouble you."
"It doesn't matter. You can stay as long as you want."
William had just finished speaking when his phone rang.
Sherry noticed that it was Daniel's number, she immediately grabbed Stella' hand.
Stella restrained the smile on her lips and said to William, "Dad, you can answer the phone. We are
going to go."
William nodded. "Be careful on your way."
After getting in the car, Sherry's hand, which was holding the steering wheel, was sweating. She was
paying attention to William’s reaction when he answered the phone. At the same time, she whispered,
"Stella, is there any possibility that you father doesn't like me?"
Stella raised her eyebrows and said, "How could that be? You were fine just now."
Sherry was a little nervous. "How can it be the same? Just now, I greeted your father as your friend,
that... that's nothing, but now..."
Stella smiled, "Well, don't think too much. Leave it to Daniel."
Sherry took a deep breath. Forget it, there would always be a way.
Anyway, it was already such a chaotic relationship.
Sooner or later...There would be such a day.
Back at the studio, just as Stella was about to enter, a woman suddenly appeared in front of her and
was in the way.
Sherry immediately stood in front of her when she saw the woman.
The woman stood where she was, and it seemed that she noticed their vigilance. She took a step back
and pointed at herself with her mouth open. "Sis, it's me. Don't you remember me?"
When Stella heard that, she walked to the woman. She took a closer look before remembering who she
was.
The woman was Catrina, who had led her the way when Stella asked Adolph Miller to help her find
Amanda.
But Catrina didn't put on makeup. She looked a little haggard and tired. She wasn't flamboyant and
gorgeous as the day before.
If Catrina had not called her "Sis", Stella would not remember her.
Stella said, "I remember you. Do you want to go to my studio or something else?"
Catrina was anxious. Just when she wanted to say something, she realized that Sherry was there so
she hesitated.
Stella said to Sherry, "Sherry, please wait for me inside."
Sherry frowned. "But she..."
"It's okay, I know her. I'll come in after a few words with her. It's all right."
Hearing her words, Sherry didn't say anything. She looked up and saw that Maxwell were guarding not
far away. Then she entered the studio with relief.
After Sherry left, Catrina anxiously said, "Stella, please save Adolph!"
Stella calmed down and said, "Don't worry. Slow down."
Catrina took a deep breath before continuing, "Last night, a group of people came and destroyed our
club. They took Adolph away. The rest are either dead or injured..."
Stella frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you call the police?"
Catrina said, "Call the police... You know what kind of people they are in that place. Even if we call the
police, they will deal with it as revenge. Besides, Adolph has a criminal record. I... I can't..."
Stella understood what she meant. Clarence had dealt with the Conrad family and did not investigate
Adolph anymore.
But what Adolph had done in the past was not all legal.
Catrina took her hand and almost knelt down. Her eyes were swollen. "Stella, I beg you to save him.
We are all poor people. If it weren't for Adolph giving us shelter, we don't know where we are now.
Although... although he is not a good person and did something bad, he never bullies the weak. If
possible, who would want to live such a life..."
Stella helped her up and said, "Don't worry. I know what kind of person Adolph is and he has helped
me many times. I won't leave him alone. Tell me who took him away. I'll try to find a solution, okay?"
Hearing her words, Catrina calmed down and said sadly, "I... I don't know. They should be well
prepared. After going to the alleyway, they went straight to the underground casino and blocked all the
exits. They didn't show any mercy. Those who stopped them were directly..."
Speaking of that, she sobbed. "Adolph had a chance to escape, he left with them to save us."
Stella pursed her lips and took her to the office to rest.
After settling down Catrina, she went out of the studio to find Maxwell and asked him if he knew what
happened there.
Maxwell shook his head. "I haven't heard of anything happening recently, and Adolph hasn't offended
anyone, except for..."
As if he had thought of something, he immediately stopped talking.
Stella asked, "Except for whom?"
Maxwell hesitated. When he met Stella' gaze, he still couldn't stand the pressure. "When Adolph went
to Amanda, Amanda offered a high price for others to protect her, and two groups of people had some
conflicts downstairs."
He continued, "But according to her words, the people who took Adolph are well-trained and ruthless.
They should not be that group of people. Adolph won't lose when meeting them."
Stella frowned and didn't say anything.
In fact, the first person that came to her mind was Justin, but she could not figure out why Justin had
spent so much effort to take Adolph away.
If it was a threat to her and Clarence, then taking Adolph was more or less...
unexpected.
