Chapter 838: Expecting good news, Mr. Bennet

Stephen had no idea where the driver would take him, but he guessed that he would be taken to the original destination, the country club, where Stephen was a member.

Seated in one of the VIP lounges of the establishment's bar, Stephen gazed at the phone in front of him.
