On the other side.

Daniel went up to the second floor and dialled Emmett’s number, “I think he found out. We must stop our plans.”

They prepared for this. Emmett asked, “How did he find out?”

“I was careless,” Daniel sat on the couch and said, “I was about to talk to Stella about the Equity Transfer Agreement, but I didn’t expect Charles to send people to guard the piano room. That sly fox. Even if he didn’t hear what we discussed, he wouldn’t let go that easily.”

“Understood. We have no valuable clues for now. Even if Charles came searching, all he can do was suspecting. He won’t find any evidence,” Emmett paused, “But I’m guessing he would send someone to tail you. Be wary of that.”

Daniel hung up the phone and looked outside of the window. He was deep in thoughts.

The Equity Transfer Agreement was only a bait Charles threw out. What Charles wanted to do was way more than that.

Charles’ people was tailing him in the dark, but they found out that his itinerary was the same. He headed to the bar after he left the piano room. There was nothing suspicious about his itineraries.

Stella raised her head, “I…It’s going to take a little while more.”

Sherry smiled ambiguously, “Alright. It’s going to rain soon. Remember to bring your umbrella with you when you leave. Don’t get sick.”

Stella nodded, “Sure. Be careful on your way back home.”

After Sherry left, Stella did some stretching and moved around. Then she heard the rain pouring outside her window.

Stella looked at her watch. It showed 9 p.m. Is Clarence coming or not?

Stella took out her phone and wanted to call Clarence. Then she heard footsteps outside of her door.

Stella thought it was Clarence. However, when she opened the door, it was Adolph standing in the studio.

Adolph was dripping wet because of the rain. He looked like a mess.

Adolph walked towards Stella, but Stella took a step back after seeing Adolph approaching her.
