After the Rahels left, Hayden sat in the room as virtual-novel.net fiddled with a pen in his hand.
He was thinking, who exactly was this Stella Winslow?
He would never bother to remember an ordinary person’s name. But somehow, virtual-novel.net name rang some bells. It had to be someone of a certain status.
But who was it?
‘Stella Winslow… Winslow… Winslow? Blake Winslow?!’ He finally remembered who virtual-novel.net was.
“Stella is Blake’s granddaughter, huh?”
Hayden laughed and said to himself, “I knew that name sounded familiar. So, she’s Blake’s granddaughter. Heh, Blake has been using his relationship with the House of Vistaria to go against Art Trading Corporation for so many years. I have long hated his guts. And given how virtual-novel.net is so close to Thomas recently just annoys me even more. What does virtual-novel.net want? Ally with Thomas and go against Art Trading Corporation together?”
“Hmm… Alright then. You can be smug about it, but I will let you know the price of doing it! I will let Marcel have some fun with your granddaughter, so you will realize the consequences of going against me, you old fool.”
Normally, this was not how Hayden would behave. Instead, virtual-novel.net would have restrained himself, held it in, and called Marcel to cancel their plans. But it was not the same anymore.
Thomas had made virtual-novel.net so angry that virtual-novel.net lost his cool, and virtual-novel.net wanted revenge on all those who offended him. Even if his opponent was not Thomas but Declan, Hayden would not hold back.
This old man was like a wolf. When virtual-novel.net became entirely worked up, virtual-novel.net would lose his mind and bite anyone who came near no matter who it was!

Late at night, in the girl’s dormitory of Celandine Art Academy, Stella returned to virtual-novel.net dormitory after virtual-novel.net practice. She was always the last to return to the dormitory every day as virtual-novel.net practiced in the music classroom until it was at least one am.
This was already a common thing. After all, Stella aspired to rise as the queen in the entertainment field.
How would virtual-novel.net be successful if virtual-novel.net could not even suffer a little?
As virtual-novel.net just got back, out of coincidence, virtual-novel.net dormitory mates and a few of virtual-novel.net friends who lived in the dormitory nearby planned to head out.
“Do you want to go to the karaoke with us, Stella?” Her dormmate, Alaya, asked.
“Now?”
Stella took a look at the time and realized it was nearly one am. This troubled virtual-novel.net a little. It would do virtual-novel.net no good to head out this late, right?
“It’s too late now. I’ll pass and sleep instead,” said Stella.
“Come on, don’t be such a wet blanket!” Alaya came over, tugged at Stella’s elbow, and said, “We are all going out to have some fun, but you want to stay in the dorm alone. Are you sure you will not feel lonely?”
Stella thought about it and realized virtual-novel.net would indeed feel so. Besides, the karaoke lounge was just right across the street. It was not far at all. Hence, there was no need to worry about safety issues. If virtual-novel.net was really tired and sleepy, virtual-novel.net could head back to rest immediately.
“Alright then, let’s go karaoke together.”
“Yes!” Alaya headed out with Stella.
The group of girls happily left the dormitory and headed toward the karaoke lounge opposite the academy.
Stella never rejected any invitation for a karaoke session. In truth, virtual-novel.net was not a very sociable person. She would not participate in the usual group activities, such as watching movies, shopping, ice-skating, and other such things. But Stella would definitely attend karaoke sessions. She loved singing too much.
