Someone picked it up quickly and a tired female voice sounded. "Miss Reed."
"Stella, I haven't seen you in a while." Amber rubbed her cheeks to relax her facial muscles and regained a smile on her face.
Stella Chan beamed as she said, "Yeah, we haven't talked for quite a long time. Miss Reed, how have you been?"
"I'm fine. There's a lot of change." Amber recalled Jared and replied with a smile.
It had been a month since Stella left. A month ago, she swore that she would never fall in love with Jared again.
But interestingly, a month later, they got back together.
So, this was a big change in Amber's life.
"What about you, Stella?" Amber pulled herself out of her thought and asked, "How are you doing? You sound tired. What are you doing?"
Stella lowered his head slightly. After a few seconds of silence, she replied, "I'm at the boxing gym. I'm killing my time here."
"I see," Amber nodded without sensing anything wrong.
Stella placed his phone between his shoulder and head, taking off his gloves as he walked out of the ring. "By the way, Miss Reed, what's the matter?"
Amber turned serious. "I received a call from Jeremiah. He made Talon... Do you know about this?"
She really could not describe Talon's tragic state.
It was bloody.
"I've heard about this," Stella threw his boxing gloves on the sofa in the rest area and sat down to reply.
Amber tilted her head in confusion. "What? Aren't you responsible for his safety?"
Stella guarded Jeremy 24/7 after finding out that Jeremy was Jeremiah.
So, Stella should have known exactly about what Jeremiah did to Talon.
Something must happen.
Stella sighed when she heard Amber's question. "Miss Reed, I'm no longer his guard."
"What?" Amber was shocked. "How does it happen?"
"Yeah," Stella nodded.
"What happened?"
Stella took a sip of the beverage on the coffee table. "He doesn't trust me. He thinks I pledge allegiance to Jeremy, so he sent me to patrol the manor. Well, most of the time, it's pretty quiet."
"I see," Amber nodded, "He's really suspicious."
"Honestly, he's right. I'm only loyal to Jeremy. He knew this and shifted my job after you returned to the Rylands family in case I wouldn't interfere with his affairs." Stella said indifferently with a casual shrug.
Amber sighed. "Then we will lose track of him, won't we?"
"Not really. I put little birds near him to get me the news. They told me about Talon. I heard that he's badly tortured." Stella put down his drink.
Amber said, "Pretty bad. He sent me some photos, freaking me out. I finally know he's a complete monster, who shouldn't exist in this world. So, I wonder if there's a way to wake up Jeremy. But looks like you have no choice."
When Stella left Olkmore, Amber instructed Stella to keep an eye on Jeremiah and wake Jeremy up when the time came.
But now Stella wasn't by Jeremiah's side, there was really no way to stop him.
Stella understood Amber. She leaned against the sofa and said lazily, "Miss Reed, don't worry. There's a silver lining. I haven't been around him these days, but I've been digging up information about how to get the host back."
