When Stella woke up, she felt too fragile to move. Opening her eyes, she struggled to sit up. In an instant, she felt the whole world spinning.
She shook her head with strength. Suppressing the urge to vomit, she rushed to the bathroom.
After a long while, Stella rubbed her tummy and walked out of the bedroom. She looked quite weak, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Hearing the sounds outside, Sherry stuck her head out of the kitchen. âStella, you are awake. Iâm cooking the hangover soup for you. Itâll be ready soon. Just wait for a bit.â
Stella pulled a chair from the dining table and sat down. She lay prone on the table weakly and answered, âOkay...â
A few minutes later, Sherry came out with a bowl of hot hangover soup in her hands. âStella, drink it.â
As soon as Stella took over the bowl, she felt her stomach turning again. She retched several times, but her tummy was empty so she couldnât throw up anything.
It took her a long while to drink the hangover soup in difficulty.
Stella felt that she wasnât so uncomfortable even when she had the morning sickness for the pregnancy before.
After finishing the soup, she lay prone on the table again as if she was about to sleep.
Sherry was sitting opposite her with both her arms on the table. She asked tentatively, seemingly she was gossiping, âStella, do you still remember how you got drunk last night?â
Stella opened her eyes gradually, trying her best to recall. âThe wretched man asked me to attend a card game with him. He also asked me to play cards on his behalf...â
Sherry continued to ask, âThen?â
âThen...â
What happened the previous night started flashing through Stellaâs mind. She remembered that she had been to the ladies and encountered Madison there. When she went back to the box, everyone else had been gone except for Clarence.
She wanted to leave as well, but he said that she must have the right attitude when begging someone. Hence, he asked her to drink.
Stella didnât know how much she had drunk. Anyway, she couldnât remember anything afterward.
Recalling about it, suddenly, she supported her head with her hand and asked, âBy the way, how did I come home last night?â
Sherry coughed and answered according to Clarenceâs answer. âI went to pick you up.â
Stella was confused. âDid I call you?â
âNah. A waiter called me. He said you blacked out in a box after getting hammered and asked me to go pick you up.â
Stella supported her chin with a hand in a daze, looking forward aimlessly.
After a long while, she said, âI see.â
To complete the show perfectly, Sherry patted the table angrily. âThat wretched man is a jerk! You have been hammered already, but he left you alone there. What an asshole!â
Stella shook her head, exhaling. âThatâs good, then.â
It seemed that Clarence had lost interest in her now.
Sherry whispered, âStella, that wretched man treated you this way. Arenât you feeling sad?â
Upon hearing it, Stella faintly smiled. âItâs just cutting the loss in time.â
Honestly, what they had done last night was nothing compared with those things that happened in the past.
If they kept pestering like this, Stella didnât know what would be happened in the future.
Hence, she was quite happy with the current ending.
Stella held the table and stood up. âSherry, please wait for me for a moment. Iâll get changed and we can go to the studio together.â
Sherry said, âYouâd better take a rest at home today. Please leave everything in the studio to me. I donât think you can work in such a status.â
As soon as she stood up, Stella felt her brain buzzing. She didnât insist stubbornly but nodded in agreement. âOkay. Iâll go back to sleep then.â
âAll right. There is some food in the fridge. You can heat them after getting up.â
Stella didnât get up until four oâclock in the afternoon.
She sat up and rubbed her temples. She didnât feel so dizzy as earlier.
After taking a hot shower, she felt much better.
Moving her neck gently, Stella walked out of the bedroom. After grabbing something to eat, she pulled out her cell phone to check. Then she decided to check on Channing in his school.
On the phone, Chan didnât tell her what exactly happened to Winnie, but she felt quite uneasy for some reason.
It was the last day of the final exam of this term. A lot of students who had finished exams were leaving the college while pulling their suitcases.
Stella asked one student about Chan, only to find that Channing had finished the exams of his major in the morning. Then she went to the cafe where he worked part-time.
The cafe owner said, âHe went to the police station.â
Stella was taken aback. âThe police station?â
âYeah. For the incident that happened the day before yesterday. It seemed a high school student wanted to set him up... Fortunately, it was exposed by others. Hasnât he told you about it?â
Stella shook her head. She asked again, âWhich police station?â
After the cafe owner told her, Stella thanked him and immediately left.
She had guessed that things werenât so simple as what Channing mentioned to her on the phone. However, she had never expected that it would be so serious.
When Stella arrived at the police station, Channing was watching the surveillance video of that evening with the police.
Seeing her, Channing frowned. âWhy are you here?â
Stella answered crossly, âWhy didnât you inform me about such a serious matter? Why canât I be here?â
As she spoke, she said to the policeman, âIâm his older sister and custodian.â
The policeman nodded at her as a greeting. âLetâs watch it together, then.â
Stella looked over at the screen. After watching for a while, she frowned deeply. âCould you playback the scene just now?â
After the video was backed up, she said, âCould you please zoom in the scene a bit, please?â

Seeing that, the policeman asked, âDo you know her?â
Upon hearing it, Channing looked over at her as well.
Stella pressed her lips and said slowly, âA few days ago, her mother kept making trouble in my store.â
The policeman asked, âDo you have their identifications?â
âI called the police. There should be a record.â
The police asked her which local police station they had been to. Then he asked them to remain seated. He went to contact the police station for more information.
After the police walked out of the room, Channing asked, âWhen did it happen? Why didnât you tell me about it?â
Stella answered, âYou were having exams back then. Besides, itâs not a big deal.â
However, she had never expected that this matter had dragged Channing into the mere.
She had guessed that there must be a conspiracy behind them. However, the mid-aged woman didnât show up again. Stella thought that she had overthought. But now, she changed her mind.
Besides, people who manipulated and did those things didnât know Channingâs relationship with her but also had done those things deliberately aiming at them.
To be exact, they had done those things to aim at her.
