Chapter 221
Stella thought, ‘Or, did he heal faster after Bella bandaged his wound?”
Stella had a lot of questions. But, before she could ask, she heard Keegan’s voice from the other end of
the phone. “Who told you I want to talk to her? Don’t take matters into your own hands!”
Stella was at a loss for words.
Aldor smiled. “Please don’t be upset. Mr. Kane wasn’t yelling at you. He wasn’t feeling well when he
came in this morning. He had a fever. I tried to persuade him to see a doctor in the hospital, but he
insisted on waiting until we finished our work. The pain must have gotten to him, making him short-
tempered. If you have the time, could you swing by the office? Mr. Kane forgot his medicine.”
“What nonsense are you talking to her?” Keegan interrupted. As soon as Stella heard Keegan’s words,
the guilt she felt just moments ago had vanished.
Stella forced a smile and said, “Keegan sounds perfectly fine to me. He must be feeling better since he
can start working. Besides, he won’t let the pain get him down. And even if he did, I’m sure there would
be plenty of ladies lining up to bring him painkillers. I’ll stay out of this, so he can recover in peace. The
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlast thing I want is to aggravate his injury by showing up and getting him all worked up again.”
Before Aldor could respond, Stella hung up the phone.
Aldor was taken aback. He then looked at Keegan, who was now red-faced with
anger
Aldor cleared his throat and tried to smooth things over for Stella. “I think Madam might be feeling a bit
under the weather herself.”
Keegan shot him a cold glare, and Aldor fell silent.
Just then, the phone rang again. Aldor glanced at it and whispered, “It’s your mother.”
Keegan’s mood was already sour, and hearing Dahlia’s name made it worse. He snapped, Don’t answer
it.”
Aldor put the phone on silent and set it aside.
Keegan scowled, “Has Ms. Lane shown up to resign yet?”
“Lane” was actually Maya’s surname.
Dahlia spent the whole morning calling Keegan about this matter, but his refusal to answer it already
indicated his stance.
“The HR department has already called and urged her. But, as soon as she heard that it was the
company calling, she hung up and refused to talk.”
Keegan tapped on the table lightly and said, “Give her a day. If she doesn’t come to complete the
procedures within a day, terminate her employment for absenteeism.”
‘Firing someone for absenteeism means that the person will not receive any compensation. I guess Mr.
Kane is determined to fire her With that in his mind, Aldor said, “I’ll inform the HR department and give
her the final ultimatum.”
If Maya was not stupid, she would take the money and left. With her experience and Dahlia’s
recommendation, finding a job should be easy. The salary might not be as high as the salary the Kane
family had offered, but it would not be too bad either.
But, if she got fired, not only would there be no compensation, but it would also be hard for her to find
another high-paying job.
Meanwhile, Stella, who had hung up on Aldor, did not meet up with anyone for the whole day.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe attended a physical training class during the day and planned to spend the night at Rotona Pinnacle
Hospital.
Lying on the soft bed, she picked up her phone and looked at the pictures of the six tapes she had taken
earlier, trying to figure out what those six numbers were.
“If these six numbers are a combination or code, there must be a sequence. What is the sequence?
Since the numbers are hidden on those tapes, the sequence must have something to do with the tapes.
Could it be the release year?” Stella checked and found overlapping numbers in the release year and
month in three of the tapes.
“How about the alphabetical order of the song titles?” Stella tried it out and found that there were still
overlapping numbers.
It really puzzled her as she only had the numbers without any clues.
Just as Stella was racking her brains, she received several private messages on Facebook in quick
succession.
She frowned and glanced at them. Then, she suddenly froze.
Those messages were from the user account that Marshall had suspected of being Bella’s
secret account.
