Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Lover

They were all kicking Stella’s door, clamoring for her to repay the debts, claiming that it was absolutely her responsibility to pay off the debts since her man was in prison. Thus, she showed them her divorce certificate.

“A fake divorce? Stop playing us for a fool, girl. Who’d believe that Zane Levitt just happened to divorce you at this time? How could he possibly agree to a divorce when you’re such a beauty?” As a dozen people blocked her door, it seemed that she wouldn’t be able to leave today, and the men were all acting like ravenous wolves.

At this moment, Stella had a new understanding of Zane. I was actually feeling a tad guilty about his company going bankrupt, but it’s all gone now. He should have known that such a predicament awaited me when I took over his property, yet he threw this mess to me without the slightest hesitation! “We’re truly divorced, for we can’t stay together anymore!” Her face was flushed bright red. After all, this was the first time she’d experienced such a situation in the 20 plus years of her life.

“I’ve long since heard that Zane Levitt is a playboy, so it’s no wonder that you two got divorced. However, he’s always been a womanizer, so isn’t it fishy that you two only got divorced when he went bankrupt?” The people at the door just wouldn’t let the matter go.

After a long moment of hesitation, Stella admitted, “Well, it was me. I had an affair, so we got a divorce.”

The voices at the door plunged into momentary silence, and everyone looked at each other. At this time, someone spoke out from among the crowd, retorting, “You had an affair? Call your lover here, then. If he shows his face, we’ll believe that you indeed had an affair. Otherwise, you’ll be paying the debts!”

Stella gritted her teeth. It’s working hours now, and I’m already late. Miles must be at work as well, so it’ll be making a mountain out of a molehill to call him here to handle such a matter. Besides, he might not even come. Anyway, I’ll just give it a try. She then gave him a call, but no one answered. He’s probably in a meeting.

As the starving wolves at the door were on the verge of pouncing on her, her cell phone fortuitously rang at this moment. It was a call from Matthew who asked her whether she could help to pick Zachariah up from school today since he wouldn’t be home until late. Stella had no problem picking up Zachariah, so she readily agreed. Anyhow, my top priority now is to figure out a way out of the house!

When Matthew noticed her hesitation, he queried, “What’s wrong? Stella?”

His voice had always been gentle, inexplicably sparking one’s desire to tell him one’s troubles. Hence, Stella related the entire incident to him and sought his help in resolving her pressing quandary. He immediately agreed, upon which she breathed a long sigh of relief.
