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.
Stella felt uneasy. "Miss Martinez, well..."
"Don't stand on ceremony!" Audrey smiled and said, "This is my room, and these are my stylists and This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
makeup artists. You're here to attend the party too, right? But you can't go like this. It's not suitable."
Stella looked at herself in the mirror and smiled helplessly.
"You should take a shower first, and then let them help you with a beautiful style! Just pick any dress
you like!"
Stella felt embarrassed, but she couldn't refuse Audrey's kindness.
Besides, she really needed a shower right now, to wash away the fear and dirt from earlier.
"Don't worry. The bad woman who harmed you won't find her way here!"
"How do you know?" Stella widened her eyes.
Audrey smiled mysteriously. "I also know that you are the daughter of the Taylor family... Stella, right?"
"..."
"Don't be surprised," Audrey patted her shoulder and casually picked up a lipstick, applying it twice.
"After all, this party is specially hosted by Miss Amelia Taylor to welcome me. Of course, I have to know
the background of everyone here."
Stella thought about it and realized it made sense.
"Stella, go take a shower!" Audrey smiled and handed her a towel. "I'll help you choose a dress
outside, and I guarantee you'll be the most stunning one at the party!"
......
The charity party had been going on for some time, but the protagonist Audrey had yet to make an
appearance.
Henry grew impatient and occasionally gave warning glances to Amelia. Amelia also felt puzzled. She
contacted the staff several times, and Audrey's assistants all told her that Miss Martinez had already
arrived at the venue.
"But where is she now? Where is she?" Amelia shouted into the phone, "I don't see her!"
"Miss Taylor, please calm down. It's possible that there was a miscommunication somewhere..."
"Then go and communicate quickly! If we can't get Miss Martinez here today, my dad will kill me!"
Amelia angrily hung up the phone, her temples throbbing.
Just then, someone ran over to tell her, "Miss Amelia, Miss Martinez has arrived!"
Amelia's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
Audrey walked gracefully into the party hall, her pale pink evening gown accentuating her delicate
beauty. The guests automatically made way for her and applauded.
Henry and Madison hurriedly went up to greet her.
Amelia also rushed forward, trying her best to fawn over Audrey.
"Miss Martinez, I've heard about your stunning beauty, and today I finally get to see it for myself. You
deserve your reputation!"
"Thank you." Audrey had grown accustomed to flattery throughout her life, so she just smiled faintly.
Amelia then claimed the credit. "Miss Martinez, are you satisfied with the party? Ha-ha... Eldoria may
not compare to Emberfall, but this is the best party I could organize! It's specially arranged for you!"
"Please follow me, Miss Martinez. The main seat has been reserved for you!"
"Oh."
Audrey remained expressionless as she walked a few steps and looked at Amelia, her gaze becoming
somewhat mocking.
"The party is very nice. It's considerate of you, Miss Taylor."
Amelia was flattered by these words and hastily expressed her loyalty. "It's my honor to serve you! Miss
Martinez, from now on, if you need anything, just tell me and I will do my best to fulfill it for you!"
"Is that so?"
"I promise!"
Amelia's smile made Audrey extremely disgusted.
"In that case, I have a request now. I wonder if you agree to it."
Amelia's eyes lit up as she didn't expect such an easy opportunity.
If she could work for Audrey, it would be like attaching to the Martinez family, and Audrey was Noah's
sister.
She should make good use of Audrey if she wanted to marry into the Martinez family in the future...
"Miss Martinez, of course, I'll do whatever you want!" Amelia eagerly replied, "Just tell me your request
directly!"
"Alright." Audrey sneered.
"I brought a friend with me, and I really hope she can attend the party with me. Can you fulfill this
request, Miss Taylor?"
