Chapter 216


    When Ste woke up, she felt too fragile to move. Opening her eyes, she struggled to sit up. In an


    instant, she felt the whole world spinning.


    She shook her head with strength. Suppressing the urge to vomit, she rushed to the bathroom.


    After a long while, Ste rubbed her tummy and walked out of the bedroom. She looked quite weak,


    feeling quite ufortable.


    Hearing the sounds outside, Sherry stuck her head out of the kitchen. “Ste, you are awake. I’m


    cooking the hangover soup for you. It’ll be ready soon. Just wait for a bit.”


    Ste pulled a chair from the dining table and sat down. Shey prone on the table weakly and


    answered, “Okay...”


    A few minutester, Sherry came out with a bowl of hot hangover soup in her hands. “Ste, drink it.”


    As soon as Ste took over the bowl, she felt her stomach turning again. She retched several times,


    but her tummy was empty so she couldn’t throw up anything.


    It took her a long while to drink the hangover soup in difficulty.


    Ste felt that she wasn’t so ufortable even when she had the morning sickness for the pregnancy


    before.


    After finishing the soup, shey prone on the table again as if she was about to sleep.


    Sherry was sitting opposite her with both her arms on the table. She asked tentatively, seemingly she


    was gossiping, “Ste, do you still remember how you got drunkst night?”


    Ste opened her eyes gradually, trying her best to recall. “The wretched man asked me to attend a


    card game with him. He also asked me to y cards on his behalf...”


    Sherry continued to ask, “Then?”


    “Then...”


    What happened the previous night started shing through Ste’s mind. She remembered that she


    had been to thedies and encountered Madison there. When she went back to the box, everyone else


    had been gone except for rence.


    She wanted to leave as well, but he said that she must have the right attitude when begging someone.


    Hence, he asked her to drink.


    Ste didn’t know how much she had drunk. Anyway, she couldn’t remember anything afterward.


    Recalling about it, suddenly, she supported her head with her hand and asked, “By the way, how did I


    come homest night?”


    Sherry coughed and answered ording to rence’s answer. “I went to pick you up.”


    Ste was confused. “Did I call you?”


    “Nah. A waiter called me. He said you cked out in a box after getting hammered and asked me to go


    pick you up.”


    Ste supported her chin with a hand in a daze, looking forward aimlessly.


    After a long while, she said, “I see.”


    Toplete the show perfectly, Sherry patted the table angrily. “That wretched man is a jerk! You have


    been hammered already, but he left you alone there. What an asshole!”


    Ste shook her head, exhaling. “That’s good, then.”


    It seemed that rence had lost interest in her now.


    Sherry whispered, “Ste, that wretched man treated you this way. Aren’t you feeling sad?”

    Upon hearing it, Ste faintly smiled. “It’s just cutting the loss in time.”


    Honestly, what they had donest night was nothingpared with those things that happened in the


    past.


    If they kept pestering like this, Ste didn’t know what would be happened in the future.


    Hence, she was quite happy with the current ending.


    Ste held the table and stood up. “Sherry, please wait for me for a moment. I’ll get changed and we


    can go to the studio together.”


    Sherry said, “You’d better take a rest at home today. Please leave everything in the studio to me. I don’t


    think you can work in such a status.”


    As soon as she stood up, Ste felt her brain buzzing. She didn’t insist stubbornly but nodded in


    agreement. “Okay. I’ll go back to sleep then.”


    “All right. There is some food in the fridge. You can heat them after getting up.”


    Ste didn’t get up until four o’clock in the afternoon.


    She sat up and rubbed her temples. She didn’t feel so dizzy as earlier.


    After taking a hot shower, she felt much better.


    Moving her neck gently, Ste walked out of the bedroom. After grabbing something to eat, she pulled


    out her cell phone to check. Then she decided to check on Channing in his school.


    On the phone, Chan didn’t tell her what exactly happened to Winnie, but she felt quite uneasy for some


    reason.


    It was thest day of the final exam of this term. A lot of students who had finished exams were leaving


    the college while pulling their suitcases.


    Ste asked one student about Chan, only to find that Channing had finished the exams of his major in


    the morning. Then she went to the cafe where he worked part-time.


    The cafe owner said, “He went to the police station.”


    Ste was taken aback. “The police station?”


    “Yeah. For the incident that happened the day before yesterday. It seemed a high school student


    wanted to set him up... Fortunately, it was exposed by others. Hasn’t he told you about it?”


    Ste shook her head. She asked again, “Which police station?”


    After the cafe owner told her, Ste thanked him and immediately left.


    She had guessed that things weren’t so simple as what Channing mentioned to her on the phone.


    However, she had never expected that it would be so serious.


    When Ste arrived at the police station, Channing was watching the surveince video of that evening


    with the police.


    Seeing her, Channing frowned. “Why are you here?”


    Ste answered crossly, “Why didn’t you inform me about such a serious matter? Why can’t I be here?”


    As she spoke, she said to the policeman, “I’m his older sister and custodian.”


    The policeman nodded at her as a greeting. “Let’s watch it together, then.”


    Ste looked over at the screen. After watching for a while, she frowned deeply. “Could you yback


    the scene just now?”


    After the video was backed up, she said, “Could you please zoom in the scene a bit, please?”


    Although on the video, the light was dim and the scene was blurred, Ste recognized that girl.


    Seeing that, the policeman asked, “Do you know her?”


    Upon hearing it, Channing looked over at her as well.


    Ste pressed her lips and said slowly, “A few days ago, her mother kept making trouble in my store.”


    The policeman asked, “Do you have their identifications?”


    “I called the police. There should be a record.”


    The police asked her which local police station they had been to. Then he asked them to remain


    seated. He went to contact the police station for more information.


    After the police walked out of the room, Channing asked, “When did it happen? Why didn’t you tell me


    about it?”


    Ste answered, “You were having exams back then. Besides, it’s not a big deal.”


    However, she had never expected that this matter had dragged Channing into the mere.


    She had guessed that there must be a conspiracy behind them. However, the mid-aged woman didn’t


    show up again. Ste thought that she had overthought. But now, she changed her mind.


    Besides, people who manipted and did those things didn’t know Channing’s rtionship with her but


    also had done those things deliberately aiming at them.


    To be exact, they had done those things to aim at her.
