Although she had agreed to a date with Clarence the next day, she still had to go to her studio in the morning.
When she got up, the wretched man was still sleeping in.
Since he was always working hard, Stella didnât wake him up.
She wrote a note and put it on the nightstand. Then she left home.
Standing in front of the elevator, she pressed the button to go downstairs, waiting there leisurely.
Right then, the neighborâs door was open.
Daniel stretched out his head and looked around. After ensuring that Clarence wasnât around, he quickly walked out.
Stella greeted him. âGood morning, Daniel.â
âGood morning, Ms. Radomil. Itâs still so early. Are you going to work?â
Stella nodded. âYeah. I have something to deal with in the afternoon, so I need to go to work early.â
Daniel stood next to her. âBy the way, I havenât been to your studio before, Ms. Radomil. May I take the chance to go there today?â
Stella knew that he had something to talk to her, so she slightly smiled. âAll right.â
Out of the community, Daniel looked back again and ensured that Clarence hadnât followed them.
Seeing that, Stella asked, âWhat are you looking for?â
Daniel let out a hollow laugh. âNothing. By the way, is Mr. Conrad staying here recently?â
Upon hearing his question, Stella felt a bit awkward and didnât know how to answer.
Fortunately, Daniel didnât insist on getting the answer. He switched back to go down to the business. âWhat happened in the bidding the day before yesterday puzzled me a bit. Ms. Radomil, could you please...â
As she walked, Stella said steadily, âA few months ago, Jeffrey Radomil accidentally died because of the prison break. When Chan and I were sorting his belongings, I found a box of his, in which there were my motherâs remains.â
Daniel asked, âHer remains? What are they?â
âA few photos and a pocket watch. It wasnât until then did I know that Jeffrey Radomil isnât my birth father. The man in the photo is. Jeffrey Radomil was probably jealous. He had cut the manâs face on the photo.â
âDoes that pocket watch belong to Charles Steward?â
Stella nodded slightly. âIn the beginning, I guessed that Charles Steward might know my biological father, but I never thought in that way until Iâve found the selling records of the pocket watch.â
Daniel frowned. âHow did you know Charles Steward might know your biological father?â
âBecause Chan used to post a notice in the missing personâs column on the newspapers as well as use other means, trying to find that man. But Charles Steward was trying to stop him and blocked the information.â
âWhen did it happen?â
âProbably one or two months ago.â
Daniel frowned more deeply. âThat means Charles Steward knew that they were looking for him, but he didnât want you to find more information, so he deliberately blocked the information. Besides, when you went to see him with the photos, he should have known who you are.â
Upon hearing it, Stella was silent for a long while. Then she said, âIt seems so.â
âBut, donât you feel it quite weird?â
Stella was confused. âWhy weird?â
Daniel explained, âThe Steward family is quite powerful. If he didnât want you to find any clues, how could you find some?â
Stella paused for a long while after hearing his question. She said, âIt was... My friend helped me find an owner of a pocket watch manufacture. He took me to the warehouse, in which the selling information of the pocket watch was kept.â
âMs. Radomil, please donât misunderstand me. The information that the person gave to you was correct. Charles Steward did buy that pocket watch, which also belongs to him. You were also correct to look into the matter behind it. However, it might be someone who purposely led you to investigate in this direction. Have you ever thought what would happen next if you went to find Charles Steward with the pocket watch?â
Daniel continued, âNo matter what protection you have prepared ahead, you would definitely in danger.â
Stella knew what he meant. She had thought about this problem before. When Daniel mentioned it now, she realized that it was way too easy for her to find the clue.
It would be fine if the clue led to something else, but it led to Charles Steward, who had been always alert to her. He wouldnât expose any flaw.
Upon realizing it, Stella immediately pulled out her cell phone to call the owner of the manufacturer, but the phone number didnât exist.
She called her friend who provided her with the ownerâs information, but her friend didnât know the details at all. When he looked into the pocket watch, it was the owner who took the initiative to contact him, informing him that they used to produce that type of pocket watch.
Stella put away her cell phone, pressing her lips slightly.
It seemed that besides her, someone else also targeted Charles.
Stella suddenly looked up at Daniel.
The latter met her gaze, subconsciously taking a few steps back. With an awkward smile, he asked, âMs. Radomil, whatâs wrong?â
Stella said, âHow did you know the direction that I looked into was correct? I just told you the pocket watch belongs to Charles Steward, but I didnât tell you my doubts. However, it seems that you know what Iâm thinking.â
Daniel didnât expect that she could react so fast and even questioned him. He could only let out a hollow laugh and said, âWell... Phoebe Steward told me about it.â
âDid she tell you what I was doubting about? Probably she even didnât know why I must move into the Stewardâs, but you know it.â
âMe? I donât know at all. I just said that at random.â
âNo way. Since long ago, youâve been reminding me to be careful with Phoebe Steward and Charles Steward. You should know much more than I do.â
Stella paused, and then added, âIs the reason that you approached Phoebe Steward and targeted Charles Steward...â
Daniel immediately interrupted her, âNo. No. Ms. Radomil, youâve truly misunderstood. As you said, I deliberately approached Phoebe Steward and targeted Charles Steward. I must have done a careful investigation before that. Otherwise, I would be seeking death.â
Daniel hadnât expected that he wanted to ask Stella for some information but was questioned by her. He was almost exposed.
He had to admit that Stella had a clear mind.
However, his explanation also made sense.

Daniel said, âOf course. I do want to see your studio.â
He rubbed the back of his head, following her quickly.
After walking for a moment, he added, âMs. Radomil, Iâm quite curious about something. May I ask about it?â
âPlease go ahead.â
âSince your biological father might be a different man, Chan...â
Upon hearing it, Stella paused her paces slightly. After a few seconds, she answered, âMay I ask you to do me a favor?â
Daniel nodded in agreement. âSure. Go ahead.â
Stella said, âPlease donât mention anything about this matter to Chan.â
