"No, I didn't mean it that way. I was Just Curious as to why you're here. Because I don't remember you as being one who would want to come in at such a time. So it's natural for me to wonder if something was wrong" she smiled.Becky Sighed "Nothing much. There really isn't anything wrong here, it's just that I came here to work. You've been working for a long while now and I feel pity for you. So I came out and took over the work and did it myself.

He questioned.Stella on the other end of the phone said "I'll make sure you don't and I'll also offer you evidence to back it up. I've been gathering cases to take him down with so I have a thing or two that could lead to his ruin. I even have evidence of a case he commited to take himself up to the political position so that should be enough to get him into some trouble" she assured.Jace nodded "Okey then"They were probably done talking about Mr Kan and how to take him down and Stella was about cutting the line when He offered to ask her."What about our parents.
