Seeing her desperately trying to explain, Stella laughed, âOkay, dinner will be ready soon. Channing, come help me in the kitchen.â
Channing nodded, âOkay.â
Elaine finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt alive again as she watched the two of them walk towards the kitchen.
At the side, Sherry tried to ease the situation so that Elaine wouldnât be so awkward. She gestured Winnie and talked about what happened on the Internet these two days.
In the kitchen, Stella passed the potatoes to Channing and asked him to peel it.
As Channing went to get a knife, Stella suddenly asked him, âDid you go find Chassell?â
Channing froze for a moment, and then denied, âI didnât.â
âThen how did you get the injuries on your face?â
âIt has nothing to do with him.â
Stella glanced at the living room and slowly said, âWinnie is also asking me about this. Maybe we would even discuss it during dinner. Are you sure you donât want to tell me the truth?â
Channing didnât say anything.
He remained silent for a few seconds. Then, he turned around and started to peel the potatoes, indirectly confirming what Stella speculated was true.
Stella still wanted to ask Channing if he had hit Chassell. However, it was already an obvious fact, seeing the injuries on his face.
She asked, âWhere is Chassell right now?â
âIn the hospital.â
âNot bad. He can still issue an apology statement from the hospital. This means heâs still alive.â
Channing lowered his head and didnât speak.
Stella asked again, âHow did you find him?â
âIâve met him before. I called him, and he went to the underground parking lot.â
âHe didnât bring any bodyguards? Didnât he call the police?â
âMaxwell was there too.â
Stella went silent for a while, âSo it was a group fight?â
Stella couldnât imagine the scene. Channing, Maxwell, and Maxwellâs subordinates were all in their twenties and thirties. How could they still do such a thing?
Even though Chassell deserved it, she wouldnât advocate such a way.
Channing said, âNo. I fought him alone.â
Yesterday, when Chassell went to the underground parking lot, he was punched before he could see anyone.
As the bodyguards was about to move forward, they were stopped by him.
Chassellâs dignity as a man arose, probably at the thought of the insult of being beaten unilaterally a few days ago.
He raised his hand and signalled his men to leave it alone. Then, he took off his jacket and swung his arms, looking as if he was ready for a big battle to recover some of his lost dignity.
In the beginning, Chassell was still able to fight back. However, in the end, he could only wretchedly protect his head.
Channingâs strike was firm and precise, almost aiming at Chassellâs weakest every time on every hit.
His voice was cold, âI've warned you to stay away from her.â
Chassell couldnât even finish a complete sentence but only let out some muffled grunts.
His bodyguards saw this. As they were about to step forward, several people appeared and stopped them.
Maxwell pulled the furious Channing away, âEnough! If you go on, heâs going to die!â
Thus, saving the life of Chassell.
Looking at the ferocity and gloom in Channingâs eyes, there were a few seconds where Chassell thought that he had really taken a trip from the edge of hell. He was really frightened.
He was helped up by his bodyguards, coughing while trying to call the police.
Maxwell came up to him with a phone, âMr. Barret, you have a call from Mr. Conrad.â
Hearing this, Stella almost understood what happened. No wonder Nathan didnât know anything about this when Winnie asked him about it.
Seeing that Channing went to find Chassell, Maxwell must have sensed something was off. So he followed Channing and called Clarence at the same time.
That's why Clarence told her to pay to unlock. The plot had indeed... unfolded out of her expectations.
Stella looked at Channing, âHave you ever thought what would happen to you if Maxwell didnât arrive and Chassell really called the police? If this case is filed, you may get expelled from school.â
âI wouldnât get sentenced for this case. At worst, the school will give me a serious warning. After that, I can just participate in a few more competitions to revoke the punishment by winning some big honors for the school.â
Stella was speechless.
She nearly forgot. Channing knew more than she did in this regard.
She said, âSo you only went find him after planning all this?â
Channing stopped talking again.
Stella didnât know whether to be angry or laugh at that moment. He had actually planned his retreat beforehand.
Stella thought for a while but still said, âChan, Iâm not saying that you are wrong about this matter. However, you donât know what kind of person Chassell is; therefore, you shouldnât be so impulsive. Now heâs lying in the hospital and canât do anything to you. But when he recovers, can you be sure that he wonât retaliate against you? Next time when you encounter something like this, maybe try for a different approach.â
Channing said, âThereâs only one way to deal with someone like him.â
He would only have scruples when he is truly afraid.
Channing said again, âIâm not afraid of him retaliating against me. As long as he canât beat me to death, I...â
Before he could finish saying, Stella hit him on the head, âPeel your potato.â
"Oh.â
Stelle turned around and cut the vegetables.
The reason why she didnât continue was that she suddenly realized the things she was saying now were exactly the same as what Clarence had said to her last night.
She sighed, but at the same time felt funny.
No wonder Sherry always said that she and Channing were obviously siblings. Their temperaments and personalities were exactly the same.
Since that was the case, what's her ground to persuade Channing?
He knew very well what would happen when he proceeded to do all this and had already thought of what would happen next, as well as how to wind it up.
...
After dinner, Channing and Winnie left together.
When they got downstairs, Winnie said, âLet me send you home.â
âNo, itâs okay. My home is out of your way.â
Winnie was silent for a few seconds, âYou said that it was on the way last time when you sent me home.â
Channing paused slightly, then said with his face unchanged, âThe place last time was not that comfortable. Iâve just moved yesterday.â
Winnie didn't know how to reply to that.
She looked at the time, âIâve nothing to do anyway after I go back. I can send you even if itâs a detour.â
Channing slightly pursed his lips, âItâs okay. I live far away.â
âHow far can it be? Do we need to cross cities?â
Channing said, âIâm not going home now. I still have something to do.â
The elevator stopped, and Winnie walked out, âI can send you as long as itâs in City N. Get in the car.â

In the car, the driver asked, âWhere do you want to go?"
Winnie looked at Channing, who said, âGo to the Conrad Group.â
The car remained quiet along the way. The stereo was playing a few songs that Winnie would listen to usually.
After some time, Winnie suddenly asked, âWhat kind of girls do you like?â
Channing obviously didnât expect her to ask this. He froze for a moment before saying, âWhat?â
âLast time I heard your sister say that you have a crush on someone. What is she like? Is she from your school?â
âNo.â
âFrom the school nearby?â
âNope.â
âThen...â
Channing interrupted her, âYou donât know her.â
Winnie smiled, âIâm just a little curious as to why you like her.â
