A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 274: No Need to Hide Anything

Stella walks out of the bedroom with the check, closing the door behind.

When she opens the door, she sees Brianna with a long face full of anger.

“Sure enough, it’s you!” Brianna’s face becomes longer as soon as she sees Stella. “Stella Scott, out of

so many men, why are you pestering my son?”

Stella slightly smiles. “Am I pestering him? I don’t think so.”

Brianna’s face darkens. Pushing her away, she walks in. When she wants to enter the bedroom, Stella

stops her. “Mrs. Lou, you are here to see me. Don’t wake up my boyfriend.”

Brianna sneers. “I know Daniel is in there. Don’t fool me. Get off my way!”

“Did the receptionist tell you Daniel is here?” Stella asks.

“He didn’t go home last night.”

“Probably he went out for a drink with his friends.” With a smile, Stella leans against the bedroom door.

“Mrs. Lou, if you want to break in, I’ll call the police.”

“By the way, your husband is not in Yorkshire. If you’re under arrest for trespassing and taken to the

police station, wouldn’t you worry about your dignity in front of those rich ladies?”

Brianna squeezes her purse tightly. She’s so pissed off. “You’ve polished your speaking skills a lot.”

“It’s been four years. Everyone should have changed. How can I remain the same?” Stella keeps

smiling. “But Mrs. Lou, you are still the same in my mind.”

“Stella Scott, I’m not mincing any words with you.” Looking at the tightly closed bedroom door, Brianna

says, “I know Daniel is in there. Or you wouldn’t be so obstructed.”

She takes two steps towards, staring at Stella in a still-disdainful and scornful way. “What if you had

sex with my son? It’s still your loss. You trampled on your own body and dignity.”

Stella doesn’t show any weakness. She looks into Brianna’s eyes and said with a laugh, “Mrs. Lou, for

two people in love, making love is a beautiful thing. If you meant what you said, are you cursing

yourself?”

“You --” Brianna raises her hand and wants to slap Stella across her face.

Of course, Stella won’t stand still and let her slap. She grabs Brianna’s wrist tightly and shakes it off.

For the suddenly strength, Brianna has lost balance, staggering backward. The fury surges on her face.

“Mrs. Lou, if you try again, you’ll get hurt.” Stella takes out the written check from her pocket and hands

it over with a smile. “Four years ago, you gave me ten million. Now I’m returning you a hundred million.”

Brianna snorts with disdain. “Do you think you are really something by taking down Long Peace

Group?”

Raising her bows slightly, Stella answers, “Of course. I can give out a hundred million casually. Also, I

can buy something that you are interested in.”

Hearing that, Brianna wishes that she can tear Stella alive.

“Ease. I’m not interested in those jewels.” Stella puts the check into Brianna’s arms. She chuckles.

“This is the special return to you. Without your ten million, I wouldn’t be here right now. But for the

matter that you’ve changed my letters, I’ll get even with you in the future.”

When they’re at daggers drawn, Stella’s assistant comes in with two shopping bags.

“Good morning, Ms. Stella.”

Brianna knows clearly that she can’t win against Stella. Dragging the check and tossing it into her

purse, she sneers, “All right. If you don’t let go of my son, you can’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Grabbing her purse, she leaves arrogantly.

After she’s gone, the assistant takes the bags to Stella and asks carefully, “Mrs. Lou looks like a tough

nut to crack. Ms. Stella, did she bully you?”

Stella smiles slightly. “Do you think I’m a pushover?”

The assistant shakes her ahead. Handing over both shopping bags to her, she says, “Those are the

clothes. Ms. Stella, wasn’t Augustine who came upstairs with you? How come...”

“So you were watching carefully last night. Why didn’t you send our men to follow me for protection just

in case then?”

“Because Mr. Daniel has come.”

At the moment, the bedroom door is pulled open from the inside suddenly. Losing balance, Stella falls

into the arms of the man behind the door. She’s pulled away in two seconds.

“Ms. Stella, I’m going to work now. Bye.” Her assistant slips away as soon as possible.

Seeing the man’s crumpled shirt, Stella takes out a new shirt from the shopping bag. “Change your

clothes.”

“No need.” Daniel waves away her hand, looking indifferent and ruthless.

Stella squints her eyes.

‘Son of bitch. After the one-night-stand, he’s blowing up on me! Do I owe him anything?’ she swears

inwardly.

Daniel bypasses her and walks out. Stella quickly grabs the hemline of his shirt and says with a smile,

“Mr. Daniel, you look pretty satisfied. It seems you haven’t forgotten what happened last night.”

Daniel’s eyebrows jump. Bearing his urge to lose the temper, he explains, “You were drugged.”

“I was drugged but you could take me to a hospital. It’s immoral you took the advantage of me in such

a situation, isn’t it?” Stella adds, “Besides, as the president of Long Peace Group, how can I have sex

with a man at random?”

“So your point is?”

“Well, Mr. Daniel, it’s good that you still admit what you’ve done after waking up.” The woman’s lips curl

into a bright smile. “From now on you owe me a big favor. Be nice to me in future.”

“OK. I owe you a favor.” Daniel glances at the shirt hemline grabbed by her. “Let go.”

“Mr. Daniel, where is your good manner?”

Daniel is almost running out of patient. He wonders if he’s lost his mind to stay here last night.

“Ms. Stella, please let go of me.”

Stella hands him the new shirt. “Change it. Your shirt is crumpled and smelly. Aren’t you shameful when

others wonder what you’ve done last night if you keep it on?”

Daniel doesn’t say anything.

He takes the shirt and trousers to the bathroom with a long face. Stella’s lips curl up.

‘No need to hide it. I’ve seen everything before,’ she thought to herself.

Stella puts on her clothes in the bedroom. She has vaguely heard some cries from the bathroom. It

passes in an instant. When she stops and concentrates to listen, nothing is heard. She shrugs, thinking

she may have misheard something.

After Daniel comes out from the bathroom in the new outfit, his face is still arctic cold, as if the whole

world owes him. Without looking at Stella, he strides to the door.

Grabbing her handbag, Stella follows him. “Mr. Daniel, shall we have breakfast together?”

“No need.”

“We’ve excised for a whole night. Aren’t you exhausted or hungry?”

Daniel doesn’t answer her question.

Half an hour later, a cleaner comes in to clean the suite. When she pulls the bathroom door open, she’s

startled by the fat man with a black-and-blue face covered with blood inside.

…

Louis has left right away after sending Lily home, which makes Lily upset and uneasy for a whole night.

She keeps wondering what she’s said wrong.

She can’t figure it out.

Louis has been calm but he doesn’t reply her WeChat messages.

The more she wonders, the more panicked Lily has become. She thinks perhaps Louis has mistaken

her to deliberately distance herself from him by signing that contract on her own initiative. Hence, in the

early morning next day, she hails a taxi, rushes to the supermarket, and buys a lot of ingredients.

She quietly sneaks into the villa.

It’s very quiet there. Lily guesses that Louis is still in sleep. Rich, lying in his kennel, immediately gets

energetic as soon as he sees her. He runs over with his tail wagging, looking quite excited.

“Shush! Hush!” Lily squats down to touch him. She whispers, “Good dog. Don’t bark.” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Rich really doesn’t bark; instead, it looks at her while wagging his tail.

Lily goes to cook in the kitchen. She tries her best to keep as quiet as possible. She plans to wake up

Louis after the breakfast is done, so she can make him forget what she has said last night.

When she’s busy cooking, Rich circles around her, biting her slippers from time to time.
