Chapter 347
She thought Keegan would be furious. They were used to pampering Aurora, and she was made very aware of it. How could Keegan possibly relent if she had hit their precious sweetheart to this state?
However, Keegan did not say anything. He was quiet for a long time, then said, “Go home. Great-grandpa says he wants to have chicken soup.”
Stella was stunned for a moment. She felt like her throat was stuck and did not say a thing in the end. The incident about Aurora being beaten up did not spread. It was unknown if the Kane family had purposedly suppressed it. Although she was tied up and only beaten once, it was not convincing enough. She might have also been sexually harassed. Regardless of whether the news would be passed on, how the incident developed was uncertain, so the Kane family suppressed the news.
On the police’s side, they also could not make any headway. Initially, they assumed it was a standard violent assault case, but the investigation was constantly hampered. At first, the surveillance footage was switched. Then they found out that the car used to kidnap her was a scrapped car using another license plate.
When they went to look for it, the car had been processed into scrap. No clues could be found. Dahlia went to make a fuss at the police station a few times and was almost detained by the police’s administration. In the end, it was Cordelia who diffused the situation, and Dahlia was also reprimanded by her. Stella herself did not think that the incident would just fizzle out like that in the end.
Arthur was discharged after a week. His body had recovered up to a point, and he would wake up early every day to exercise. On the night three days after that, Stella came home and did not see Arthur beckon her to wash her hands and eat like he usually did. Instead, she found he had left a note for her on the chair he usually sat on.
“The sow at home is about to give birth. I need to go back to help it. I’ll make some suckling piglet for you at Thanksgiving.”
He then left Rivera quietly without notifying anyone. After Stella made sure he returned to his home safely, she got busy filming and preparing for Cordelia’s birthday party.
Very quickly, she met with her first obstacle. The venue for throwing the birthday banquet was booked in advance by someone else. Rivera was not lacking in venues, but Dragon Lagoon was indeed the best in terms of scenery and size. Cordelia held these birthday banquets once every ten years, so naturally, it could not be shoddy.
Stella contacted the person in charge and asked for the phone number of the other client to see whether they could negotiate. However, the person in charge refused her, so Stella had to look for the boss of the premise.
After searching, in the end, she came to Mrs. Chapman. It turned out that this property was a part of Mrs. Chapman’s family’s property. When she heard that Stella wanted to negotiate the timing for renting the venue, she said with a complicated expression, “Mrs. Kane, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. The other person wanted to hold a wedding and booked the date early. In other words, how could I tell the other person?”
