Chapter 1332

The male stripper did not dare to hold anything back. He stumbled over his words and said, “Th-there was also… aphrodisiac…”

Stella could not believe her ears. ‘No wonder I felt feverish and weak after a short soak in the hot spring. It must have been the effect of that substance. If that’s what I felt after only taking a sip, then what about Felicity…?’

Stella did not have time to confront the man. Instead, she immediately dialed Felicity’s number. But Felicity did not pick up. Stella then dialed Vermont, only to have him hang up the call.

Stella’s lips twitched, and she gritted her teeth. “That jerk hung up on me!”

“He’s probably with her right now. Don’t worry,” Keegan tried to reassure her.

Knowing Vermont’s behavior, Keegan assumed that he was spending time with Felicity. That was why he did not answer Stella’s call.

Trying to alleviate Stella’s concern, Keegan added, ’Til give him a call later.”

It was all they could do for now.

Stella wanted to extract more information from the male stripper regarding why Molly had targeted her.

However, it seemed that the man genuinely did not know the reasons; he was just doing it for the money.

He thought Stella would be unconscious after drinking the alcohol, so when he saw Keegan leave the room, he attempted to sneak Stella away. When he realized that Stella was not out cold, he panicked and decided to abandon the task.

Stella had never encountered such an inept individual. ‘This guy didn’t even stay and watch me consume the substance. He just relied on subjective judgment and proceeded with the plan.’ However, she had to acknowledge that Molly had lucked out in finding someone this incompetent. Otherwise, she could have been in serious trouble.

Stella’s mind was racing. She had not interacted much with Molly before. The only significant encounter they had was at Duncan’s wedding, where Stella frightened Molly with a fake mouse.

But, this method of revenge seems pretty excessive,’ she thought.

It was clear that Molly wanted someone to witness this incident so that Stella’s image would be destroyed.

‘Who could that person be?’

As Stella thought about the people around her, a realization dawned on her. ‘Is it Trevor?’

Molly had always had a crush on him. Stella noticed this when Molly insisted on Trevor taking her home while she was drunk after having dinner together.

Recalling the male stripper’s performance earlier, when Trevor had carried her on his shoulders, Stella wondered if Molly thought she and her brother were a couple. She could not help but burst into laughter. ‘I would’ve given her some credit if she had confronted me directly. But, to resort to such lowly tactics? Hah. Does she truly believe she’s worthy of my brother?’

Stella glanced at the trembling stripper and asked, “How much gambling debt do you owe?”

The stripper froze. “O-Over three million dollars,” he confessed.

“And your creditor’s contact information?”

The male stripper quickly gave her the number.

Stella saved the number in her phone, as she said, “Find an opportunity to slip that substance you used on me into Molly’s drink and sleep with her. If you succeed…”

The male stripper assumed that Stella was about to offer assistance in settling his debt. However, her next words were, “I’ll spare you. But, if you fail, I’ll call your creditor and tell them you’re squandering money and not repaying your debts. You must’ve borrowed the money from loan sharks, right? Do you think their debt collectors would break your arms or legs when they find out about that? Look at your handsome face. With those looks, you could benefit from the ladies for a few more years. But what would they think when you’re missing a limb or two?”

The stripper was in disbelief. He did not expect Stella to threaten him.
