Stella found herself cornered, forced to tilt her head back as the man before her advanced with each step. Remington's dress shoes crushed the bouquet on the floor as he gripped Stella's neck and pushed her into the hospital room. With a loud slam, he kicked the door shut behind him.

"Stella? Who's there?" Martin, lying in the hospital bed, stirred at the noise and slowly sat up, calling out. His eyes widened in shock when he saw the scene at the doorway. Stella was being choked, her toes barely touching the ground as she staggered in.

"Mmph...ugh!" Stella grasped at Remington's hand, her back pushed against the wall. She couldn't speak, her legs struggling, eyes wide with terror.

Seeing Stella recover, Martin stood up, pointing at Remington with a face full of anger and condemnation.

Remington brushed his hand as if to shake off something filthy, his eyes cold and distant. "Assault? Then how should the West family explain my wife being kidnapped?" Martin's face showed shock, followed by evident anger.

"Kidnapped? What's the West family got to do with it? If your wife's in ☐☐☐ 1; trouble, go after the culprit, not throw your weight around here! Remington, don't forget, Stella saved your life. Even her brother died because of you! What are you doing now, biting the hand that feeds you?" Stella, leaning on the wall, managed to stand up. Her face was still unnaturally red, with striking marks on her neck. Tears streamed down her face, making her look vulnerable and innocent. She turned to Remington, "Remingtonable

Have you misunderstood something? I...cough, I was at Lanson's place all I of last night, Besides, don't know Hans, how could I be involved in this...?" Remington's gaze suddenly

sharpened. "How did you know it was Hans who tried to Stella's heart skipped a beat, realizing her slip-up. Remington skipped a 423 m hadn't mentioned Hans's name

since he arrived. But Stella was quick to cover, turning to Martin, "It was my dad, he was worried about Ci2. After hearing about the incident, he had someone look into it. Hans was also brought in for emergency care yesterday, wasn't he?"
