From the photo and the text messages, it was plain to see the person was meticulously well-prepared.
If they truly had the inside scoop, why hadn’t they contacted Matthew?
Stella mulled it over for a while but couldn’t wrap her head around it. Ultimately, she resolved to keep the appointment.
She was curious to see what had motivated the other party to go through all this trouble.
At nine o’clock in the evening, Stella grabbed some self-protection tool and shoved it into her bag before leaving.
En route, she made multiple attempts to reach out to Matthew and Fernando, but still, no one answered.
Then, Stella sent a quick message to Miley. If she wasn’t able to reach her in an hour, Miley would go to the police directly.
When Stella arrived at the club, a waiter led her to a private room.
As she swung the door open, a shadowy figure occupied the room.

Her grip tightened on the bag as she cautiously ventured inside.
Just as she opened her mouth to speak, the person on the sofa looked up and met her gaze.
When she saw his face, her eyes bulged and her mouth dropped open in shock. She blurted, “Why are you here?”
With a subtle grin, Jeremy rested against the sofa, inquiring, “Why can’t I be here?”
Stella turned on her heel to leave.
Having crossed paths with Jeremy on several occasions, Stella discerned that Jeremy and Matthew were at odds.
That day, Jeremy had been at the art exhibition too, and must have seen her save Matthew.
The photo and text messages must have been sent by him, too.
Perplexed by Jeremy’s unsolicited behavior, Stella couldn’t shake the feeling that he harbored hidden intentions.
As Matthew’s personal PR officer, Stella knew better than to become too entangled with Jeremy.
As Stella reached for the doorknob, Jeremy’s voice pierced the air from behind.
“Stella, don’t you want to know who is responsible for the accident at the exhibition?” Jeremy asked.
Stella paused, her uncertainty lingering.
A smile graced Jeremy’s face.
