Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 211

The police looked at Sabrina, who was completely unhurt without a single scratch, and found her story a bit hard to believe, though the bind marks on her wrists were real enough.

And the idea that Stella had single-handedly saved her was even less convincing.

She looked like a delicate girl who needed protecting herself—how could she possibly take down a kidnapper?

However, the video evidence captured the entire kidnapping process, and Logan had fully confessed to everything.

Whether the police completely bought it or not, the arrival of the Sherwood family's corporate lawyers meant Sabrina and Stella were cleared to leave without any hassle.

Walking out of the precinct, Sabrina reluctantly held Stella's hand. "Stella, I just adore you. Why don't you come back with me and be an honorary Sherwood? I've never had a sister."

Stella smiled. "Sabrina, I can't go home with you. I need to get back to my own place, or my family will start to worry."

Julius had just texted her saying he was working late. If she didn't head home now, he would definitely be calling to check up on her.

Sabrina compromised. "Then let's exchange numbers. Tell me where you live, and I'll come hang out with you."

"Alright, let's add each other. I live at the Imperial Gardens."

Stella found Sabrina to be refreshingly straightforward and generous, a total contrast to the arrogant and domineering heiresses like Una Lowell, so she gladly agreed.

Just like that, Sabrina effortlessly achieved what Steward Shipley had failed to do twice—getting Stella's contact info and discovering her address.

She couldn't help but wonder about Stella's true background.

Anyone living in the Imperial Gardens was either fabulously wealthy or incredibly powerful.

Plus, the sports car she drove was a global limited edition; even having the money didn't guarantee you could buy one.

She hadn't heard of any ultra-rich Hawthorne family in the capital's elite circles!

"Hanging in there. Just the usual old age, nothing major." The elderly woman smiled kindly.

"That's good. Nadine, Julius should be getting off work soon, right? When I got back, my parents mentioned his legs are completely healed. I even stopped by his office to see him a few days ago, but he was too busy to give me the time of day."

She had specifically chosen this time to drop by, hoping to catch Julius after work so she could have dinner with him at the manor.

It would also be the perfect opportunity to casually ask about the girl she had seen that day.

"Going by the time, he should be off work, but he won't be coming back here. He doesn't live at the manor anymore."

Nadine knew this girl had been chasing after her eldest grandson since they were little. Back then, given their families' close ties, she had been quite supportive of the idea.

But over time, she noticed Julius had absolutely no romantic interest in Yvonne, treating her strictly like a neighbor. Seeing that, Nadine had given up on the notion.

Looking at her now, the girl had clearly timed her visit perfectly, undoubtedly hoping to run into Julius.
