In the end, Channing declined to join them at the karaoke.

Stella sent Channing home and joined them later, while Sherry and the girls went to the karaoke.

"What have you been up to lately, Clarence mentioned you go out early and come home late?"

"Something." After a little interval, Channing responded.

"Can you tell me what that is?"

He turned away silently.

Stella didn't pursue him because she knew he didn't want to tell. "No matter what happens, don't act on impulse again, remember that you are my brother, my only family in this world, no one is more precious to me than you."

"How about Clarence?" After a moment, Channing questioned.

She was taken aback by the question. "Boyfriend is replaceable, but not brother," she said with a smile.

"I swear I won't be rash, and I won't be used to threaten you again. Adolph and you..." he hesitated, frowning.

It was a difficult situation.

"He saved me once," Stella remarked, "And I forgive him for his earlier mistakes. I phoned and paid him to search down Jeffrey."

"Forgive?" Channing squinted even more.

"Adolph wouldn't have come to us if Jeffrey hadn't borrowed money from a loan shark," Stella said. "Furthermore, Jeffrey planned everything, and Adolph merely wanted his money back."

She despised both Jeffrey and Adolph.

But she couldn't blame Adolph anymore.

She couldn't tell whether Adolph was kind or bad, but she recognized humanity in him because of Modesty's father.

It was simply a matter of surviving in different ways.

Channing remained silent as he gazed out the window.
