Paul hung up the phone, struggling with a splitting headache.
He rushed out of the villa and saw Eva still waiting by the roadside for a taxi. It was then that he realized she hadnât driven here. Blaming himself for not being more attentive, he quickly walked towards her.
âEva, something happened to Stella.ââ
Eva, who was looking down at the route of the Uber, immediately looked up at Paul when she heard that Stella was in trouble.
âWhat happened?â
âGet in the car first.â
Paul handed the car keys to Eva, then grabbed her hand and walked back.
Once they were in the car, Eva found out that Stella had a court hearing with Erin today. After the first trial, Erin wanted to take Stella away, but Henry stopped them. Erin didnât hesitate and punched Henry, while Anthony tried to intervene and got injured by Erinâs bodyguards.

After wiping away the blood from his mouth, Anthony looked towards the opposite room.
âHe just came out of the emergency room and is still unconscious.â
Upon hearing that Henry was so badly injured, Eva quickly turned around and walked towards the opposite room.
Henryâs head was injured, with bandages wrapped around his forehead. There were also visible marks from being punched on his fair face, making him look pitiful.
Despite being beaten like this, he still held a piece of off-white fabric in his hand. It was fabric from Stellaâs skirt. It seemed that when Erin kicked him down, Henry grabbed onto Stellaâs skirt, trying to prevent her from being taken away.
