Learning that Emmett left because of the business of the company, Stella silently heaved a sigh of relief.

She said, “Then I will not bother you. I…”

“Stella,” Emmett interrupted her in a gentle voice.

“What’s the matter?”

He curled his lips into a light smile, “Nothing. Have a rest early. Good night.”

He didn’t ask the question although he was so curious about it.

After ending the call, Stella put her head on the table again.

She didn’t know whether she should make it clear with Emmett or nor. It was just that Emmett had never confessed his feelings to her and it would be very weird if she suddenly told him that she didn’t love him.

Stella thought that she would be sleepless for the whole night and opened her drawing book.

But she unconsciously sketched Clarence’s contours on the paper.

When she realized this, the painting was almost finished.

She subconsciously wanted to tear off this picture, yet paused at a second thought.

Never mind.

She could keep this to remind herself not to make a wise choice.

Stella turned to the next page. She patted her face to sober up herself and then began to draw a new picture.

At the same time…

In the Steward family…

In the study, a man reported to Charles, “Master Steward, we’ve investigated it and found that it was a boy who offered the photos to the newspaper.”

Charles inexplicably knitted his brows, “Boy? What’s his information?”

“His name is Channing Radomil. He’s 19 years old and is a freshman of University A.”

“Did you find out how he got the photos?”

The man slightly nodded his head, “Channing has a sister and her name is Stella Radomil.”

Charles abruptly stood up, “What?”

“I’ve verified it. Stella is Clarence’s ex-wife.”

Charles, who used to be elegant, failed to maintain his composure any longer, “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure. I’ve confirmed it with the employees of that newspaper office. It was Channing who gave them the photos and asked them to publish a notice. Moreover, having not found the man through publishing notice on the newspapers, he posted the photos to other platforms. But we’ve intercepted all of them.”

Charles gave an order after a short while, “Go find out Stella and Channing’s background right away. I want to know all the details ever since their births. One more thing…”

Right at this moment, there was a string of knockings on the door.

Phoebe pushed open the door, “Day, why do you call me here?”

Charles sat back on the chair and waved his hand to gesture his subordinate, “You can leave now.”

“Okay.”

After the man’s leaving, Phoebe closed the door, walked into the study, and then sat opposite to Charles, “Dad, I heard your mention ‘background’ when I was outside.copy right hot novel pub
