Chapter 409:
Thieves nowadays were truly amazing. Not only did the thief steal valuables, but he also rummaged through the
refrigerator for food to eat. It seemed that the thief was also poor to a certain extent.
“Don’t do that now. Let's have breakfast first.” With that, RK walked over to the table with breakfast in hand.
Stella went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then she followed RK to sit down for breakfast.
After breakfast, she wanted to go with RK to work, but he turned her down.
“You haven't fully recovered yet. Besides, you have to go to the police station in the afternoon. Go to the
company tomorrow,” RK said.
Although Stella also knew that it was good to stay at home, she worried that if this continued, would she still be
able to get her salary? What would she eat and drink at home?
However, there seemed to be no other way to deal with the situation. Stella sighed silently. It was not the right
tfor a thief to come.
“Wait forat hin the afternoon. | will take you to the police station.” RK tidied up the table. “I'll go to the
office first. Remember to take your medicine.”
After RK left, Stella squatted on the ground and cleaned up for a while. Fortunately, there weren't many valuable
things in the living room. She counted and found that there were only thousands of dollars lost this time. Of
course, she didn’t count the cake and drinks in the refrigerator.

It was not easy for this thief to survive; maybe he was truly desperate. Moreover, she felt that this guy was
certainly a novice. It must have been the first the had gone to someone’s house to steal things, as he had
left his fingerprints at the scene. It should be very easy to find him. However, she didn’t know whether the
current police officers were as dedicated as the previous ones in dealing with everything carefully.
Stella recalled a long tago when her mother was still around; their hhad been broken into before, but it
was during the daytime. After calling the police, the officers arrived very quickly.
In the summer, the officers worked hard to find the criminal. At that time, their family didn’t lose many valuable
things, but the police took the matter very seriously. They collected evidence and interviewed witnesses for
several days before they finally caught the thief.

However, the current police officers were not as sincere in working for the people. Nowadays, society was
becoming more and more impetuous, and the police officers’ attitudes were getting more and more perfunctory.
She wished that things were just like they were in the past...
Back then, the sky was blue, the grass was green, the chickens and ducks didn’t have avian flu, and the
vegetables could be eaten at will. Mothers-in-law didn’t want daughters-in-law to move in with them, and
children knew their fathers.
Young students went to school obediently, and the police were still upright and professional.
Although their family was not so harmonious, Stella had never been bullied...
At least at that time, she was still carefree.
There weren't so many troubles. After school, the first thing Stella did was go to the old lady who sold ice cream
at the school gate to buy some, trying to run hbefore it melted. When she returned home, her mother would
cook with the housekeeper.
Although her father was not there to help her with her homework, her mother would tell her stories every day.
That was how her kindergarten life passed.
Later, she went to primary school, and when she was in the second grade, her mother passed away...
Stella was sent to a boarding school, and she only went honce a week. Later, when she went to middle
school, she went hless often, maybe once every few weeks.
When Stella got home, she felt that she was no longer a member of that family. Sophia didn’t go to the same
school, so she could go hevery day. Eventually, Stella becmore and more reluctant to go home.
When she went to college, she could work and study, so she didn’t go hduring the summer vacation. No one
at hmissed her, and she had never called anyone. She was used to being alone outside. At that time, Stella
thought that she was free. However, she didn’t expect that she would be sold by them.
Perhaps David had many secrets, but no matter what, he shouldn't have sold his daughter off to be married.
Most of the time, Stella doubted whether she was David's biological daughter. Ever since her mother passed
away, she had never felt at hin her own family.

After lunch, RK called. He was already downstairs.
When Stella went downstairs, she happened to meet Mr. Clark.
Mr. Clark was usually friendly and had a very good character. He always smiled and never looked depressed.
However, he seemed to be a little absent-minded that day. He didn’t even hear Stella calling him.
“Mr. Clark? Mr. Clark? Mr. Clark?”
“Ah? What's wrong? S... Stella... What... What's the matter?” Mr. Clark looked panic-stricken and lowered his
head, not daring to look at Stella.
“What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?” Stella felt that Mr. Clark was behaving abnormally that day.
Did the thief in the building scare him?
“Mr. Clark, you don’t have to worry. The thief will be caught soon. The bad guys can’t escape from punishment.”
Stella patted Mr. Clark's shoulder with a smile and reassured him. “Believe me, the police will soon find out who
the thief is and bring him to justice.”
Unexpectedly, after hearing that, not only did Mr. Clark’s tense expression not relax, but he beceven more
worried. “Well, Mr. Clark, don’t worry. | will go first.” After that, Stella patted Mr. Clark on the shoulder and went
downstairs.
Stella didn’t notice that Mr. Clark, who was standing behind her, looked very hesitant, and he seemed to be in
pain as he clenched his fists tightly. After Stella's figure disappeared from his sight, he let go of his fists as sweat
dripped down his forehead.
For a moment, he had an impulse to kidnap Stella.
