After Charles had ended his sentence, Stella came downstairs.

She smiled and greeted Cameron, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Thomas.”

Cameron gestured Stella to come forward, “Come here and sit, Stella.”

Stella walked towards him and sat beside him.

Cameron held his walking stick with both hands and spoke with a smiling face, “When did you arrive? I offered to give you a ride before but I was worried that I might delay your matters.”

“I arrived not long ago.”

“Then, there is no big difference,” Cameron said. He looked at Stella’s clothes and was confused, “Where did you get so much dust on your clothes?”

After Charles heard Cameron’s question, he froze as he reached for the tea cup.

Stella said, “It was nothing serious. Ms. Steward played a joke with me just now. But I do not have the time to change my clothes now.”

Cameron frowned deeply and looked at Charles, “What kind of joke?”

Charles stifled a laugh and said, “Phoebe has acted foolishly. I have already talked sense into her.”

Seeing that Charles was unwilling to speak the truth, Cameron directed his gaze towards the servant behind Charles and yelled, “Tell me!”

“It’s… It’s…”

The servant stammered and did not dare to say anything.

Cameron hammered the floor strongly with his walking stick and said angrily, “What did I tell you just now? You acted so sincere when you agreed with me. In the end, you were just patronising me!”

“It was a misunderstanding. I promise you that this will never happen again.”

Cameron’s mood darkened. He thought about the servant’s words about tidying up some items, the dust lingering in the mansion and Stella’s dusty clothes. He was able to piece together what happened.
