âPlease donât worry. Iâll take care of it. Iâll get you a good price.â
Channing nodded. âThank you.â
The manager of Twilight Club said, âYou are welcome. But, Channing, donât you think itâs not worthy?â
âNot at all. Comparing to this, I need the money more eagerly right now.â
The manager heaved a sigh. âOkay. Iâll resolve this matter for you as soon as possible.â
Channing hummed and then strode away.
The manager turned around and saw a man standing nearby. He hurriedly walked over, âHi, Mr. Conrad.â
Clarence was wearing a white shirt only, standing there calmly with one hand in his pocket. He looked in the direction where Channing left and asked in a super flat tone, âWhy does he need money?â
The manager still remembered that Channing used to hit Clarence, cold sweat oozing on his forehead. However, he could only answer, âIt seems that something happened in his family.â
âHow much does he need?â
âA million...â
Clarence snorted. He had almost forgotten that the Radomil family was always greedy for money. One million was the smallest amount they asked for.
Seeing that he didnât speak, the manager felt that his heart jumped into his throat. âWell, Mr. Conrad, if thereâs nothing else, may I go back to my work please?â
âEhn.â
After the manager was gone, Vincent walked out aside. âWhy didnât you ask him what happened?â
Lifting his foot, Clarence left. He answered without any expression, âNot interested.â
Walking out of Twilight Club, Clarence received a call from an unknown number.
Rubbing between his brows, he swiped to answer. From the other end of the line, he heard Stellaâs cautious voice, âHello, Mr. Conrad. Am I interrupting?â
âGo ahead.â
âI...â Stella hesitated for a long time and couldnât finish her words.
In fact, as soon as she heard Clarenceâs cold voice, she regretted it. She shouldnât have called him.
Clarence wasnât that patient. âHow about I finish the words for you?â
Stella was taken aback. âWhat? I...â
âHow much do you want? One million? Or two million?â
âI didnât mean it. I just want to...â
Clarence interrupted her, âStella Radomil, have I given you a wrong impression that you could come to ask me for money?â
On the other end of the line, Stella fell into the silence. She didnât know what to speak.
âYou are not a teenage girl, naive and innocent. Do you think a kiss means I like you?â Clarence continued in a flat tone, âIâve fucked you so many times. If I like you, I should have liked you long ago. What do you think?â
Stella answered in a hoarse tone, âI didnât think that way.â
âBetter you didnât. Itâs useless if you did.â
After finishing his words, Clarence hung up the phone directly.
Less than two minutes, Nathan, who was scratching his hair, received a message from Clarence, asking him not to find a date to attend the banquet.
Nathan gaped, wondering if Mr. And Mrs. Conrad had a fight again.
...
Holding the cell phone in her hand, Stella was sitting by the window for a long time.
She called him just because she wanted to ask him if she could delay paying the money until next month.
However, the wretched man sounded like he had eaten the gunpowder. Before she could finish her words, he had started shooting her and sentenced her to death.
Stella thought she might lose her mind to mistake that he liked her.
After a long while, she dialed Jeffreyâs number. As expected, she couldnât reach him. After sending him a text message, she tossed the phone aside, held her quilt, and closed her eyes.
After waiting at home for three days, Stella received a call from Jeffrey who talked to her on a landline phone. He said anxiously and delightfully, âMy darling daughter, did you say you want to get me some money?â
âYeah. Come to get it tomorrow.â
âTomorrow? Where do you live now? I can go to see you now.â
Stella said, âI havenât collected enough money yet. Come tomorrow. Or, forget it.â
Jeffrey immediately said, âOkay. Okay. See you tomorrow then.â
Stella told him an address. She was not in the mood to waste any word on him, so she directly hung up the phone.
The second day, as soon as Stella walked out, she found Channing standing at the door.
Channing said, âIâll go with you.â
âOkay, but you canât act recklessly. No matter what happens, donât fight with them.â
âI know.â
After they had arrived at the appointed place, Adolph had been waiting for them there with several men.
Seeing Stella come in, Adolph stood up and asked, âHave you brought the money?â
Stella pulled out a bank card. âAll in here.â
When Adolph was about to reach out and take it, she said, âWait. We should wait for another man.â
With a frown, Adolph asked, âDo you want to trick me?â
âThere are only two of us here. What trick can we play?â
âOkay. Iâll give you ten more minutes.â
Stella stood there quietly, looking quite indifferently.
Adolph couldnât help but cast a few glances at her. When he collected the debt three years ago, this woman brought him a quite deep impression.
She was pretty, smart, and calm. She should have a bright future, but unfortunately, her father was Jeffrey Radomil. What a pity!
A few minutes later, the door was opened along with Jeffreyâs happy voice. âMy dear daughter, have you collected enough money...â
As he spoke, Jeffrey saw the group of people in the room. His expression changed dramatically, turning around, ready to run away.
Adolph reacted pretty quickly. âCatch him!â
Before taking a few steps, Jeffrey was pressed by several men. His belly got a fierce kick.
After making sure that he didnât have the energy to run away, those men pulled his collar and dragged him into the box.
As soon as he was dragged in, he snapped, âStella Radomil, you ungrateful bitch! Iâve brought you up. How dare you set me up with outsiders. Iâll...â
Before he finished his words, another punch was thrown on his belly.
Adolph looked over at Stella. âNow, can you give me the money?â
Stella looked aloof, giving the car to him.
When he was about to ask his men to check if there was enough money in the card, Stella said, âNot necessary. Thereâs only fifty thousand.â
Adolphâs expression changed dramatically. âAre you fooling me?â
âThatâs all money that I could collect.â Stella cast a glance at Jeffrey. âHeâs the man who owes you money. Now, Iâve brought him to you. Shouldnât you ask him for the debt?â
Neither Adolph nor Jeffrey had expected that was her plan. In an instant, Jeffrey started cursing her with all dirty words. Adolph was annoyed. After receiving several more punches, Jeffrey finally quieted down.
Stella said in a flat tone, âIf you donât want the fifty thousand, just beat him to death. My life will be peaceful as well.â

Channing stood in front of Stella protectively, gazing at him coldly. Since Adolph was much shorter than Channing, the former found his temperament weakened.
Without looking back, Adolph ordered, âBeat him.â
The next second, they heard Jeffreyâs cry in pain.
Stella forced herself to ignore the scene, but his miserable howls got into her ears.
Sickened, she clenched her fingers tightly. Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to keep silent.
