Chapter 58 Two Troublemakers Are Finally Gone
After her leg had healed during a period of rest, Stella could not wait any longer and hurried back to
work without getting a follow-up examination at the hospital.
Annie was pleasantly surprised to see her. "You're back at last! I've been lacking motivation at work
without you around during this time!"
Stella smiled. "Seems like your words have become sweeter after not seeing you for a while!"
"Come on. I genuinely feel guilty about what happened to you! If I had insisted on going with you to that Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
dinner, you wouldn't have been set up..."
Stella's expression shifted, and she swiftly pulled Annie into a quieter corridor.
"Has this incident... become widely known?"
Annie glanced around and spoke in a hushed tone. "Not exactly. Nobody in the company knows why
you suddenly went on sick leave. The director stated that it was due to you accidentally injuring your
leg. At that time, everyone wanted to visit you at the hospital, but he prevented them from doing so."
Stella nodded in silence, understanding that the director was not malevolent. He simply knew how to
look out for his interests, often choosing to overlook various matters and hesitating to take the lead.
"So even if some people have doubts, they won't voice them directly." Annie glanced at her. "Don't
worry. This issue is in the past. Just stick to the story that you accidentally injured your leg!"
"Okay."
She understood that the director's approach was wise. As a woman, her reputation was valuable, and
these matters were not something she wanted to be widely circulated.
"By the way, Stella, there's some great news I have to tell you!"
Stella was surprised by the joy on Annie's face. She could not help but chuckle. "What's making you so
happy?"
"It's about Benjamin and Daniel. Those two troublemakers have left the company!"
"What?" Stella was greatly surprised. "But why..."
"I don't know the specifics, but I saw Daniel leaving with a cardboard box on the second day after you
were hospitalized. He appeared disheveled and miserable as he left!"
"As for Benjamin." Annie lowered her voice. "It appears that the board of directors decreased his
shares and transferred him to the subsidiary in Eblesa as a small department manager. Hah... it's even
more tormenting for him than simply letting him go! How can he promote his products in that tiny,
distant city? Isn't that pure torture? Haha, it's satisfying!"
"Stella, are you alright?" She looked at Stella. "Why are you spacing out?"
Stella snapped back to reality and mustered a forced smile.
As Annie spoke, Stella found the situation becoming increasingly unbelievable. Suddenly, she recalled
Liam's question in the ward. Back then, she had casually expressed her wish that these individuals
would never appear before her again.
His whisper, "As you wish," still seemed to resonate in her ears...
Stella took a deep breath and shook her head. That's just not possible. Liam couldn't have that kind of
power! It must have been a coincidence.
"Stella, you're here!" Another colleague hurried over, looking anxious.
"Finally found you two. Why didn't you bring your phones when you went out for a private
conversation?"
Stella was taken aback. "What happened?"
"Someone is looking for you!" The colleague gestured downstairs. "He's waiting in the lobby on the first
floor. A handsome young man introduced himself as your younger brother. He mentioned trying to call
you multiple times but didn't receive an answer. He seems quite worried. You should go check it out!"
Her heart raced, a rapid pounding in her throat.
As a sensible child, Samuel would not appear at her workplace even if he was deeply troubled. The
urgency of his visit indicated only one possible reason...
"Samuel!" Stella hurried downstairs. "What's the matter? Is Mom's condition getting worse?"
