StarNovelChapter 2472 Once the event concluded, Stella didnt forget to approach Howard to inquire about the earlier incident. However, it was already late, and the days events had left her concerned about Bellas well-being. Turning to Bennett, she said, Bennett, take my mother back first.
Ill stay and handle things here.
Though both Bennett and Bella wished to stay with her, they reluctantly left after seeing her unwavering determination.
Matthew, noticing Sanford lingering beside Stella with no intention of leaving, couldnt help feeling a twinge of displeasure.
Yet, unwilling to upset Stella because of his own feelings, he remained silent and restrained.
Suddenly, Matthew wrapped his arm around Stellas waist.
The unexpected gesture startled her, causing her body to stiffen slightly.
Matthew, seemingly oblivious to her reaction, said nonchalantly, Stella, dont be afraid.
Withhere, everything will be fine. The three-Stella, Matthew, and Sanford-waited quietly in the lounge.

I sincerely apologize.
The incident occurred in an unfortunate blind spot for the surveillance cameras.
After a thorough investigation, we couldnt retrieve any useful information.
These staff members, however, match the description you provided earlier.
Stellas gaze slowly swept over the row of men standing before her.
Her eyes carried a sharp scrutiny and quiet inquiry as she remained silent for a Long moment .
Matthew seemed to sense Stellas unease and gently squeezed her hand in reassurance.
Stella turned her head toward him and gave a subtle shake of her head, silently indicating that the man she had seen was not among the individuals present.
Sanford, seated nearby, appeared calm and composed, but his sharp eyes missed nothing, quietly observing every detail around him.
Howard turned to Stella with a cautious tone, asking, Were you able to identify the suspicious person? Instead of answering his question, Stella countered with her own.
Are you sure youve gathered everyone? Howard immediately straightened, his posture firm with confidence.
Im certain.
Theres absolutely no one missing.
If you have any doubts, you can wait until the venue is cleared.
Ill gather all the staff again for you to verify.
Stella fell silent, lost in thought.
The venue was enormous, and as the organizer, Howard had the means to conceal someone if he truly intended to.
She had no effective way to uncover the truth on her own.
His unusually cooperative attitude now made further pursuit seem pointless.

After scontemplation, Stella decided to let the matter go. With a composed expression, she said, Forget it, Mr. Archer.
Since thats the case, Ill believe you.
Noticing Stellas decision to drop the subject, Howard immediately apologized.
I deeply regret the distress this incident has caused you.
Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience.
If you encounter any challenges in the future, dont hesitate to reach out tome. Ill do everything in my power to assist you.
Stella gave a polite nod and replied courteously, Thank you, Mr.
Archer.
Feeling both physically and mentally drained, she rose to her feet and quietly took her leave. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
