Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 390 Ask for Help

Abigail had been a servant of the Barnett family when Tim’s father had still been alive. Abigail had

watched Stella grow up, so Abigail felt extremely sorry for her.

“Mr. Barnett, don’t be mad at her. Let’s talk about it calmly.”

“Abigail, don’t speak up for her. She is a mess. She’s been spoiled by you all.” Tim looked at Stella, who

was hiding behind Abigail, with disappointment. His voice trembled with anger.

Realizing she couldn’t persuade Tim, Abigail quickly took a step forward, blocking Tim’s line of sight

while tipping Stella the wink. “Hurry up and go.”

Noticing it, Stella ran upstairs into her room and locked the door.

Tim didn’t have anyone to vent his anger on, so he could only sigh heavily at Abigail.

“Your spoiling her will ruin her sooner or later.”

Abigail smiled and turned to bring out a plate of soup from the kitchen. “I just made this.

Drink some. You will feel better.”

Tim glanced at it, sat on the sofa, and said, “I won’t drink it. I am not in the mood. I’m full from anger.”

Abigail had to put the soup on the table. Then, she quietly walked outside and took out her phone to call

Sophia.

Tim couldn’t calm down, so only his wife Sophia Barnett could comfort him.

When Sophia heard her daughter was almost beaten, she immediately rushed home from the beauty

salon.

Abigail was waiting for her at the door. When Sophia arrived, Abigail quickly went up to her and took her

coat.

“Where is Stella?” Sophia did not stop walking. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly knitted, and her face

was full of worry for her daughter.

Abigail comforted her. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Barnett. Ms. Barnett is fine. She just hasn’t eaten lunch yet. Mr.

Barnett is sitting downstairs. I don’t dare to go upstairs to deliver food.”

“How can she not eat? I only have one daughter.” Sophia looked at her disapprovingly.

After saying that, Sophia quickened her pace and walked to the hall. She saw Tim sitting on the sofa

gloomily.

Sophia paused for a moment and quickly smiled again. She gently walked behind the man and reached

out her well-maintained hand to massage his shoulder.

When he smelled the familiar fragrance, Tim raised his hand to hold Sophia’s hand and calmed down a

little. “You are back.”

Sophia held his hand and sat down next to him. She said gently, “Abigail told me why you were so angry

today. Did something troublesome happen in the company?”

Tim nodded with a heavy heart and told her about what gave him a headache. Then he began to

analyze.

“I find it strange. My partners worked with me for so many years but didn’t find anything.

How could it be so coincidental that they found ***at the same time and proposed almost the same

compensation treaty?”

“Then have you thought of something?” Sophia looked a little nervous.

When she heard something had happened to the company, she looked more anxious than Tim.

Tim shook his head and said suspiciously, “Could it be that I accidentally offended some big shot, and he

is punishing me?”

Sophia quickly said, “Although the Barnett Group is not as powerful as the Gage Group and the Wade

Group, it is not a pushover. You have the names. Think about it carefully, and you will have your answer.”

Outside the door, Stella nervously leaned against the door. Hearing her parents’ words, she suddenly felt

a sense of guilt.

Tim said, “We lost some big orders these past two days. I even told someone to ask around, but he didn’t

get anything out of it. Those people didn’t even want to see us. Who knows what happened?”

“What should we do?” Then came Sophia’s anxious voice.

Stella immediately returned to her room. She was edgy. Apparently, only the Gage family could do this to

the Barnett family.

Her hands were trembling as she took out her phone and called Irene.

“Ms. Wade, you must help me. Mr. Gage knows, and he is going to deal with our family.

We have lost many big orders. Please help me!” When the call got through, her voice was trembling.

Irene chuckled, “You were too ***. You deserve to be punished. I warned you not to call me at will.”

“Ms. Wade, you can’t give up on me!” Stella sobbed.

“Stella, why should I help you? Didn’t you say you wanted to do this?” Irene sneered.

Stella wiped her tears. She could finally see Irene’s true colors.

“Ms. Wade, are you really not afraid I will tell Mr. Gage what happened?”

Irene froze for a few seconds before saying, “Are you sure? You can do whatever you want if you want

the Barnett family to be the target of the Gage Group and the Wade Group.”

Stella’s body trembled, and before she could speak, the call ended.

She was so nervous that she did not know what to do. She called again, but no one picked up.

The Barnett family kept losing orders, and she suffered in school.

When Stella went to the bathroom, she saw someone smoking in the innermost corner.

Beside her, other students were smoking as well. A few girls held cigarettes, and smoke lingered.

The students in the bathroom couldn’t help but cough. It was too choking.

Stella was just about to leave when she was stopped.

“Yo, isn’t this Stella? Do you have a problem with us smoking? Don’t you smoke yourself?”

A girl walked out from the smoke, and sunlight pierced through a ****in the upper left corner.

One ray touched the girl, and the other touched Stella.

The girl walked in front of Stella, her face almost touching Stella’s. She blew the last puff of smoke, and

the ***smoke ring hit Stella’s face.

Stella automatically closed her eyes. That fog made her eyes hurt, and the gas assaulted her nose. She

felt uncomfortable.

“Who are you? Are you looking for a beating?” Until now, Stella still hadn’t noticed something was wrong.

Just as she finished speaking, the other students couldn’t help but laugh and surround her.

Only then did Stella realize the students here had helped her ****Serina, but now they actually betrayed

Stella.

“You! You are really ungrateful! Don’t forget when you were bullied, I helped you,” Stella said like crazy.

“Why didn’t I notice you were so full of *****? Stella, how dare you talk about the past! Weren’t they all

bullied because they accidentally offended you, the rich noble lady? You don’t even know you have

offended the wrong crowd. However, are you prepared?”
