Adolph said, “It’s just a cut. I’m used to it.”

Stella knew how Adolph got those wounds without needing to ask much.

It was probably to get the surgery fee for Modesty’s father. Stella said, “I’ll head to the bank tomorrow, and I will transfer the remaining one million to you.”

Adolph stunned, “But I haven’t get Jeffrey.”

Stella smiled, “You said you were confident.”

Adolph sealed his lips and remained silent.

After a while, a security guard approached them when he saw a pool of blood where Adolph stood. Adolph quickly walked into the rain before the security guard opened his mouth. Soon, he disappeared into the night.

The security guard looked at Stella, “Madam, who is that guy? What did he tell you?”

Stella answered, “He was just a by-passer asking for direction. I told him I didn’t know the place, so he went off.”

The security guard doubted Stella’s story, and he wanted to ask further questions. A black Rolls Royce car stopped in front of them.

A man stepped out of the car, and he had a grim look on his face. This man seemed much scarier than the previous man.

A shudder ran down the security guard’s back.

Clarence approached Stella, and he saw the pool of blood in front of her. Clarence looked even grimmer. He asked in a tense tone, “Where did you injure yourself?”

Stella stunned. Then she smiled after she figured out what Clarence meant, “It wasn’t mine. I was not injured.”

“Then what is this? And you?” Clarence paused after he realized the security guard was overhearing their conversation. The security guard quickly left the scene after Clarence took a glance at him. He then went and asked the cleaner to clean to place.

Stella pulled Clarence’s sleeves and whispered, “I will tell you more about it later. All in all, I wasn’t injured.”

After confirming Stella was injuries-free and her clothes were dry, Clarence looked relieved. He hugged Stella tightly in his arm and said softly, “Are you trying to scare me to death by not picking up your phone?”

It was the first time Stella saw Clarence being so nervous. Stella hugged Clarence back at his waist and explained softly, “My phone was on silent mode, so I didn’t know it rang.”
