Damian Knight raises his eyes to look at her, puzzled, and says, "Why would you think that? Everything that happened tonight was all about Coralie Hughes herself; she’s just reaping what she sowed. If you weren’t smart enough to see through her sche, the one suffering this fate would have been you."
Sumr Monroe laughs out loud, saying, "Damian Knight, I suddenly realized you actually understand quite well."
Damian Knight shrugs: "I don’t think so. The longer I know you, the less I feel I understand you."
Sumr Monroe chuckles, saying, "Not everything that happened tonight was done by Coralie Hughes."
Damian Knight imdiately frowns, "Who else was involved in harming you?"
Sumr Monroe nods and says, "I saw it. Stella Monroe... and her lover."
Damian Knight is slightly surprised but quickly digests the fact that Stella Monroe has a lover.
A woman who can have an affair with her brother-in-law and then marry him can certainly find another lover.
He shouldn’t be surprised.
Damian Knight’s eyes turn cold as he says, "She’s been banished to the temple, yet she still has a lover outside helping her. What’s her lover’s na? Give his details, and I’ll help you deal with him."
Sumr Monroe shakes her head in refusal: "No need. The one who most wants to deal with him isn’t , it’s Henry Stanton. I think, if Henry Stanton finds out about his existence, he’ll be very ’surprised’."
Damian Knight smirks: "So you’ve been holding back for this reason. Fair enough, that way we can use her lover to completely destroy her. But right now, she can’t do much inside that temple..."
"No." Sumr Monroe looks at the scenery moving backward outside the car window and says, "I have a hunch that Stella Monroe will be back soon."
Damian Knight is puzzled: "Stella Monroe is already over there; Henry Stanton shouldn’t think of her anyti soon."
Sumr Monroe presses her lips in a smile, saying, "I don’t know, it’s just sixth sense. You know, a woman’s intuition is always very accurate."
"Then when she returns, we’ll take her and her lover down in one go."
Sumr Monroe nods, but deep down, she knows it’s not as simple as Damian Knight says.
Furthermore, she’s curious about what thod Stella Monroe will use to co back.
A simple hunger strike or self-harm might only make Henry Stanton detest her even more.
But Stella Monroe is not a simple woman, and her lover is not ordinary either; she certainly won’t stay in that temple for long.
But she’s already prepared for Stella Monroe’s return.
Sumr Monroe stares blankly out the car window thinking about Stella Monroe as the car suddenly stops.
Sumr Monroe thinks they’ve arrived; upon a closer look, she realizes the car stopped not at Stanton Manor, but in front of a standalone villa she’s never been to.
Right in front of the villa is a lake; even at night, it’s clear the scenery is beautiful.
In Crestfall, a villa with a lake is worth at least a few billion, but generally, they’re priceless on the market; having money doesn’t necessarily an you can buy one.
Sumr Monroe looks at Damian Knight beside her in confusion and asks, "Where is this?"
"My place." Damian Knight says while opening the car door, "I’m hungry, make dumplings for ."
Sumr Monroe: "..."
Today her body and spirit are both exhausted. Damian Knight exploiting her like this is inhuman!
Sumr Monroe frowns and asks, "Can it be another day? I’m a bit tired today, besides, I have things left to do..."
But Damian Knight, who just seed to understand her well, now raises an eyebrow and says firmly, "No, you promised , as long as I want to eat, you’ll make them for ."
