Chapter 90 Innocent Stella
Stella's heart pounded, and her mind went blank.
The voice outside... seemed to be that of a young girl.
Who was she, and how did she end up here?
"Ugh, this lock is difficult to deal with!" The girl sighed and said, "Um... move back a bit! I'll use a stone to smash this lock open!"
Stella hesitated for a moment. Then she immediately followed the girl's instructions and moved back to the corner of the wall.
The sound of the girl smashing the door echoed throughout the basement, and it was somewhat terrifying.
After a while, there was a loud "bang," followed by the sound of the chain dropping and a crisp collision.
The door opened, but Stella's body froze, and her hands and feet seemed to be immobilized.
"Miss?" A charming figure flashed by. "Hurry up and leave!"
"You..."
"Let's go!" Stella didn't have a chance to speak before a pair of delicate hands grabbed her.
She could no longer think rationally about all of this, and could only follow this girl to escape from this dark prison.
There were many dead rats at the entrance, as well as a baseball bat and large stones.
It seemed that the girl used these to kill the rats.
Although her hands were slender, they were incredibly warm, like a lifesaving straw in despair. Stella tightly held onto them and was suddenly overwhelmed with the urge to cry.
Stella followed her as they ran, passing through the darkness, and finally saw a glimmer of light.
"Alright, you're safe now." The two of them walked side by side in the hotel corridor, and the girl smiled slightly at her before pulling her into the elevator and pressing the top floor button.
Stella finally got a clear look at the girl's appearance.
She was very beautiful, with eyes that could smile and a smile like colorful cotton candy.
And she seemed... very familiar.
Stella stared at her blankly but couldn't remember where she had seen her.
"Miss, are you all right now?"
"Oh, I'm fine." Stella came back to her senses, looked at her gratefully, and bowed to her deeply.
"Hey, what are you doing? It's no bother."
"Miss, my name is Audrey Martinez." The girl introduced herself with a smile. "How about you?"
Was she Miss Martinez?
Stella stared at Audrey in a daze and moved her lips, but she couldn't say a word.
After a while, she gently asked Audrey, "How... did you know I was in that basement? It was so dangerous for you, a young girl, to run over there like that! Did those rats hurt you? Rats carry bacteria and can be contagious!"
This answer was something Audrey had never expected.
And she didn't know how to answer these questions.
Audrey never liked the charity party in the first place. She was annoyed by Amelia's constant phone calls all day, which was why she agreed to attend tonight. Before attending, she wanted to get some fresh air in the yard, but unexpectedly overheard Amelia trying to deal with Stella...
Stella was her sister-in-law!
How could Audrey swallow her anger?
So she secretly followed and found the basement, and then called the hotel security, asking them to bring something to exterminate the rats.
But her innocent sister-in-law was not worried about herself but was concerned about her safety.
Audrey's favorable impression of Stella instantly soared, and she sweetly smiled.
Stella's hair was messy and her clothes were dirty. She looked disheveled.
But the light in her eyes struck deep into Audrey's heart, and now Audrey finally understood why Noah hadn't returned to Emberfall.
At that moment, the elevator made a ding sound and the doors opened, revealing the luxurious top floor that caught Stella's eye.
Audrey held her hand and led her into the suite.
There were already people waiting inside, all bowing respectfully.
Audrey smiled and pushed Stella towards the dressing table.
