Stella felt dizzy as she woke up and the entire place felt strange to her.
She wanted to sit up but she had no energy at all.
Not only that, she couldnât even speak.
At this moment, someone approached the door.
Stella shut her eyes in an instant.
The door was pushed open and a few people came in. She heard Dempseyâs voice, âWhen will she be awake?â
âThe drug is light, she will be up soon,â Joanna said.
Dempsey grunted, âCanât believe we need to do so much just to lure her here.â
âThis is all because of your son.â
âWhy would you mention that again?â Dempsey looked annoyed.
âAm I wrong?â
âNever mind, I donât want to argue with you on this anymore.â
Joanna looked at Stella who was sound asleep on the bed, âI want to see to what extend Clarence would scarify for her.â
âDo as planned, donât be reckless, it wonât do us any good to provoke him,â Dempsey said.
Joanna crossed her arms, âYou want Conrad Group and I have things that I want too.â
âNo matter what, do it step by step.â
After a pause, Dempsey added, âDonald is still downstairs, I better be there before he suspects anything.â
He then left with his cane.
Joanna said after he was gone, âLooks like it still needs some time before she wakes up, letâs go.â
Stellaâs lashes trembled, who else was here?
The other party didnât reply while Joanna continued, âDonât feel guilty, they owe you this. Iâm just trying to get you back what belonged to you, as long as Clarence collaborates, she could walk out of here safely.â
A manâs voice was heard after a long while, âDo we really need to take such measure?â
âDonât you aware of the situation now? Did Clarence ever give us and the Conrad family a chance? He addresses you as a brother but did he really respected you? Justin, I know the Conrad Group is not important to you but you need to grab on to it just to be powerful,â Joanna explained.
Justin remained silent.
After a few seconds, Joanna continued, âI just wish that you will have a good life after I die. I donât want you to live depending on their mercy, I want them to kneel in front of you, do you get me?â
âYou donât have to say this, whatâs the point of owning all this after you are gone?â Justin said.
âWhy do you think Clarence keeps attacking us this month? He even gets rid of your fatherâs loyal men. Thatâs because he wants to kill me.â
âClarence wonât do that.â
âWonât?â Joanna laughed out and glanced at Stella on the bed. âI wanted to kill them both last time, but she lived. I know Clarence better than you, do you think he would let you live and avenge me? Even if you never thought of revenge but he will still get rid of you just to safeguard himself.â
Joanna continued, âThere is only one shall live between the Conrad family and him.â
Joanna then walked away.
The room became silent again.
Stella heard Justin let out a long sigh after a while and then he left in his wheelchair.
She opened her eyes slowly after the door was closed.
She was now slowly regaining her energy, though not much, but she could move her finger now.
She wouldnât believe if she hadn't heard it by herself that Justin was also a part of this.
But he had no interest in the Conrad Group, why would he helped them?
Stella was confused.
But what was important now was that she heard Dempsey said Donald was still downstairs.
He must be looking for her.
Stella took a deep breath, forced open her eyes, and concentrated on her finger to try using her energy.
She had finally able to sit up after a while.
But she couldnât utter a word, her throat felt like burning.
She clenched her teeth and stood up against the wall. She took a glass accessory, walked towards the window, and threw it down.
She didnât even have enough energy to crash a glass.
This was the only thing she could do.
In the meantime downstairs.
Donald was sitting at the sofa looking around, âMr. Dempsey you have such great taste, my dad is nothing compared to you, he likes to buy something unnecessary.â
Dempsey put on a stiffened face holding on his cane, âWhich one do you like? Iâll give it to you as a gift.â
âThis is not very nice.â
âItâs okay, I can have someone wrap it up right now and send you home too.â
All the guests had left apart from Donald.
He didnât feel embarrassed at all, âNo rush, itâs been long since the last time I visited here, now that everyone has left, itâs a good time for us to have a little chat.â
Dempsey was livid hearing that.
Donald insisted to stay no matter what.
Dempsey then stood up, âDo as you please, visit any place you like, Iâm going to bed now.â
There was a sound from the outside right after he took a few steps.
Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again ï¤Chapter 516: Something is Not Right about This An Eight-year-old Princess ï¤Chapter 1410 Go And Return Quickly Critic ï¤Chapter 105: Missing Drake Donald was fast and rushed out, Dempsey stiffened and instructed the man behind to go have a look.
Donald arrived at where the source of the sound came from but there was no one apart from some broken glasses.
He looked at the man that followed and dashed back in again.
Dempsey blocked in front of him with his cane when he wanted to rush upstairs, âYou are too rude!â
Donald smiled, âDidnât you say to let me visit any place I want? Iâm done with downstairs, I want to visit upstairs now.â
âDonât get overboard! I know what you are thinking, you think I hide Stella didnât you? If you insist to go upstairs, let me ask you, what do you want me to do with you if you didnât find her?â
Donald pushed his cane away, âCalm down, itâs not like I donât trust you, but I need to have a look with my own eyes, please let me go upstairs so that I could explain to Clarence when he asks, do you really want to see him torturing me?â
