Sandra raised her hand to stop the crowd. “Excuse me, everyone! It’s an infringement on one’s rights to take their photos without their approval.”
As for Stella, Yoel had already led her out of the mall.

They walked quickly toward the exit. Stella looked up to see a broad back in front of her as Yoel led his car. He closed the windows, shutting out the noise from outside.
“What happened back there?” Yoel asked. Seeing that she was shivering, he draped a thin blanket over her.
Gradually warming up, Stella looked at Yoel’s handsome face and said, “Thank you
“Why were those people surrounding you?” Yoel asked.
“They thought I pushed Jessica and were filming it,” Stella replied despondently. A pregnant woman being pushed would be big news.
Yoel frowned. “Did you push her?”
She fell on her own,
“No. She
saying?”
Stella was afraid Yoel wouldn’t believe her. She asked, “Do you believe what I’m
Yoel looked at her quietly. She sat in the car, her face deathly pale like a delicate flower. He nodded. “IS believe you.”
Stella smiled. “You believe me, but he might not.
The crowd believed Jessica, leaving Stella looking lost and soulless.
Yoel changed the subject. “Let’s not talk about that. When I landed today, I received a refund notification Why did you return the money to me?”
So he had just returned to the country today. Was he still unaware of what happened?
Yoel continued, “I’ve been swamped in Mavonia lately. I only heard about your situation the day before

“I figured 500 thousand dollars would be tough for you. So, I transferred you that money to help repay Nas
Group.
“But this morning. I got word that it wasn’t your doing, that Carrie framed you. Is that right?
“Yes.” Stella nodded and continued softly. The matter has been resolved. Carrie made a public statement, so she’ll be the one to pay your group the compensation.”
Yoel looked surprised. “I didn’t expect her to be so malicious.”
Upon hearing this, Stella glanced at him. “Mr. Perkins, were you punished by the group?”
“I was demoted to general manager. He used to be the president
Stella was stunned and felt guilty. “Was it because of me?”
“It has nothing to do with you. It was Carrie’s doing. We’re both victims.”
Yes. Yoel was a victim too. Why had she listened to Brian’s ptions about him? First, the plagiarism
wasn’t his doing. Nas Group was the victim.
Second, after learning about it, he immediately transferred money to her. He didn’t want her to bear the fifty–million–dollar loss. Moreover, he was demoted by the group.
Even so, he didn’t blame her, showing quite some grace. Stella realized she had wronged him before. “I
should have been more cautious at the time.”
“Forget it. It’s in the past. Don’t dwell on it, or you’ll get depressed.”
Meanwhile, Brian took Jessica to the hospital. An obstetrician came to examine her.
As Brian was about to leave, Jessica panicked and grabbed him. “Brian, stay with me. I’m so scared…”
Seeing her pale face, Brian held her hand, letting the doctor examine her. The doctor wrote some orders.
Brían pushed her on the gurney to do several tests. The results all came back normal.
