Chapter 108:
What did this man mean? Was he taking advantage of her? “I don’t have time. | have things to do later. Recite it
now!”
Those words... were spoken so lightly. They were as light as feathers, as if he was the most powerful and busy
person in the world.
Stella was so angry she felt incredibly frustrated. What did he mean by reciting the rules now? In the locker
room?
Stella pursed her lips. Just as she was about to protest, two hands appeared on either side of her face. RK placed
both hands on the wardrobe behind her, trapping her between the wardrobe and his body.
At the stime, Stella held her clothes tightly against her body. When she looked at the man in front of her,
she felt like a cornered rabbit, caught in a trance.
“Stay away from Tristan,” his low voice commanded, full of anger, yet still calm.
No one could easily detect the intensity beneath his words.
Stella frowned.
She had always kept her distance from Tristan, but hearing those words from RK made her feel uneasy. Who was
he to tell her who she could or couldn't be around?

It was her choice. Who she wanted to be with was none of RK’s business.
She glared at him angrily. “Rene Kingston, you're being too controlling!”
They had been separated for years, hadn't they? What status did he have to tell her what to do?
In the past, when they were still married, RK had dictated everything in her life—who her friends could be in
university, who she could or couldn't hang out with.
He controlled everything, even where she could go.
Not only was he her husband, but he had also taken on the role of her father. But that was in the past. Back then,
they were a legal couple, so Stella endured it.

But things were different now.
They had been divorced for years. And what's more, this man was getting married next month to someone else!
What right did he have to control her life now?
Stella was furious. Her tone becheavier as she spoke.
“Rene Kingston, you have no right to say that to me. In fact, I should be telling you—stay away fromin the
future!”
Before Stella could finish her sentence, the clothes in her hands were suddenly snatched away.
“RK! What are you trying to do?”
“I'm controlling you too much, am 1?” RK said as he pulled out her phone and placed it in front of her. “That child
just now... you'd better tellif he’s your nephew or not.”
The phone he held wasn’t his—it was Stella's.
Just now, because she was in the office, Stella had made a video call to Adrian but hadn’t taken her phone with
her afterward. She thought she would return to the office after changing in the locker room, so she hadn't been
paying attention to it.
But now... how did this man know she was talking to Adrian?
More importantly, why did he want her to explain?
Had he already figured out the truth about Adrian?
When Stella heard his question, she couldn't help but tremble slightly. She had stayed abroad for years, afraid of
running into RK after she returned. What she feared most was that one day, RK would learn about Adrian's
existence.
She feared that, if that day came, her precious son would suffer unimaginable pain.

After all, RK had never liked her, had he?
But thinking about it now, since he was asking, it meant he didn’t have concrete evidence. He was just
suspicious! His current tone told her he was merely questioning her.
The fear in Stella’s heart eased as she realized this. Confidently, she replied, “That was Emily’s nephew. If you
don’t believe me, you can ask her!”
Although she had made the video call from the office, RK hadn't been there at the time. Stella reflected on the
situation...
Ever since she had been assigned to the secretarial office, it seemed like her workspace had been specifically
arranged under surveillance cameras.
At first, she thought it was a coincidence—maybe the higher-ups wanted to monitor her work more closely. But
now that she thought about it...
She hadn’t paid attention to the surveillance camera earlier while video chatting with Adrian.
Normally, RK'’s suspicions had been based on her interactions with Adrian. But today, Tristan had been involved
as well. Tristan had taken Adrian to the amusement park... how could that be right? How could Emily’s nephew
be connected to Tristan?
As Stella pieced together an excuse in her mind, RK'’s voice cut through her thoughts.
“Stella, it’s best if | don’t find out you secretly gave birth to my son behind my back!”
