Stella was nervous when Odolf asked her for the money. She was confused. She searched for kind words to answer his father's question. “Stella, where's the money dad asked for? Don't say you didn't bring it! Huh?!” A question sentence with an emphasized tone came out of Odolf's mouth. Of course, it made Stella depressed. 'What shall I answer? What should I say to Dad? Dad would be furious if he guessed right! I wanna run and hide from this reality!’ Is running away from reality the right thing? Will avoiding the problem make Stella free from the fear and pressure given by Odolfーher father? 'What if after this I run and hide from the Lexus? However, can I leave him when Bastian is near me? And, where should I go? Where should I hide, so that Lexus can't find me?' Stella was thinking too much. She was so down to her current position. What about her status as the wife of Lexus? Would it be easy for her to get away from Lexus's grip if Bastian was always by her side? “Stella? Why are

Stella's round eyes stared at the man's face. She frowned. She asked, “Who are you? I don't know you."The man smiled. He bowed.“Let me introduce myself, Miss. I'm Robert. I work for the Rodriguez Holdings Company. To help someone it is not necessary to know each other. Because I like to help everyone who's in trouble.”Robert brought his mouth to Stella's earlobe. He whispered, “Of course, there is a price to pay.”Stella was definitely surprised by the whisper of the man, who might be the same age as her father. Stella distanced herself from Robert.“What do you mean, Mr. Robert? I don't understand."Robert smiled. A knowing smile. His eyes fell on Stella's chest which made him swallow his saliva repeatedly.“What is your chest size, Miss? It challenged me to have it. Please, be mine just for one night! Then, I will pay your bill and also give you extra money.”'God damn it! He abused me,' Stella complained in her heart. She's emotional. She stood up and moved one hand.Plaque!Ste

“Bastian, why are you giving advice to 'em? Just let 'em wonder. Because the most important thing is that our business is done and let's get out of here!” Stella said in a low voice. She glanced at Delana and Robert. "Miss Steffy, people like 'em, who like to insult other people, occasionally have to teach a valuable lesson. Let 'em know who you are!” Bastian responded to Stella's speech without diminishing his respect. He did all this for Stella's sake. He did not want his master's wife to get insulted. “Your idea is brilliant.” Delana walked back to the cashier counter. However, someone got in her way. She asked, “Stop this madness, Delana! Why are you constantly looking for trouble?” “Deborah, if you don't like it, then stay out of my business! You just serve customers well, “replied Delana furiously. “But, Delana ….” The waitress named Deborah glanced at Stella for a few seconds, then turned her head and looked at Delana, who was dialing the call center number printed on St

"She is a good waitress. She helped me call the restaurant manager," Stella replied. She smiled at Deborah and nodded as the waitress looked at her. "Then, who is she?" Stella followed the direction of Lexus's gaze fixed on Delana. The woman was talking to Hans. In front of them, there are Seth and Bastian. But, don't know what they are talking about. "He is the lead waitress of this restaurant. My husband, you're someone in absolute power, aren't you?" Stella looked up at Lexus, who was holding her hand. She smiled so as to be able to make Lexus's face blush. "Tell me, what do you want?" Stella's smile widened even more. She replied, "I want you to buy this restaurant and make her the restaurant manager!" 'I wonder, is it true that Bastian said that you're capable of doing and controlling everything according to your will, Lexus? Show me, who you are!' Stella said to herself. She wanted to know Lexus's reaction. 'Is he gonna ignore me? However, if he truly loved Steffy, I'm s

Lexus felt that Stella was challenging him. He looked at Stella without blinking, then retracted her hand. “Get in the car quickly!” Lexus and Stella walked quickly towards the Rodriguez family car parked right near the entrance of the La Vida restaurant. The two bodyguards guarding them glanced at each other. They looked confused. “It seems that Young Master is burning with jealous fire!” exclaimed one of them. “Shut up and keep going! Lest the Young Master hears the conversation between the two of us, or our lives will end up in his hands,” retorted the man with a mustache. The two men stepped up with Lexus and Stella. *** “Seth, have you finished acquiring La Vida restaurant?” Lexus is now in the car with Stella and Seth. “I and Bastian have carried out all your orders, Young Master,” Seth retorted with a canon. Seth pressed the horn when the car he was driving reached the gate of the Rodriguez family mansion. Seth glanced at the rearview mirror of the car, making sure Bast
