Chapter 110
Watching Stella dash off like a bunny, Jordan couldn’t help but smile,
He poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and started recalling how they had first niet.
really was a stroke of luck.
They met online by chance. At first, he had thought she was a man, and they got along so well that the treated her just live one of his brot
During their last online chat, she asked him: [Do you think I’m a guy? I’m not. I’ma girl)
Jordan: I don’t believe. You’re so good at computers. How could you be a girl?
Stella: Who says being good at computers means you have to be a man? I was born with this talent, and I am a girl)
Jordan couldn’t help but ask: How old are you?
Stella: it’s rude to ask a lady her age, you know. But since you’re so curious, I’ll tell you. Just don’t be too surprised.
Jordan:Alright. Let’s hear it.]
Stella: I turned eighteen this year. When we first chatted, I was only fifteen. I had just finished high school and got my admission letter from Quentiam University.1
Jordan was amused. He replied: (With your skills, getting into Quentiham University is no surprise. But…you’re only eighteen? I don’t believe it.
After that, there was no more response from Stella, Jordan sent her messages several times and even asked her about software maintenance, but she never replied to him.
Jordan found it strange. He wondered, is she ignoring me because I didn’t believe her? Did I make her mad?”
When their income came in, Jordan split her share with her, and he noticed she had used it, but still, she never replied.
Just like that, three years went by. During that time, he heard about what had happened to the heiress of the Hayes family, but he never made the
connection.
Jordan had thought that person would never talk to him again.
He even laughed at himself, thinking, ‘How did I end up falling for someone who isn’t real for me? Guess I’ve been alone for so long that I got attached to someon Tonly knew online.”
When he was finally ready to move on and embrace a new life, out of the blue, he received a message This is my new number. I’ll reach out when I have
His heart, which had been dormant for so long, suddenly came alive.
Jordan was so happy that he almost wanted to run straight to her, but he was afraid of scaring her off, so he just asked: [Can we meet up?]
She replied: [It’s not a good time right now.
av
Jordan was really disappointed. After all this time, they still hadn’t met face to face. Jordan wondered if she was really a woman, if she as young as she said, and if she was playing him for a fool.
Luckily, after that, they did keep in touch, though it was only on and off
Stella never told him what was going on with her, but Jordan could sense that something must have happened. He wondered what that was

Chapter 110.
What Jordan had never expected was that one day Stets would call him for help.
When he picked up the phone, his heart was pounding so hard. He was overjoyed, but when he answered, he pretended nothing was out of the ordinary
“Hello” Jordan sald
“Jordan,” a woman’s arisious voice sounded.
Jordan’s brow furrowed instantly. He could tell something was seriously wrong. He felt his anxiety rising. He asked, “Where are you?”
Stella replied, “Crescent Villa. Help me.”
Then, the line went dead.
Jordan knew exactly what kind of place Crescent Villa was. It was a luxury resort where the rich went to do whatever they wanted, no matter how shady Jordan wondered why on earth Stella would be there,
At that moment, he was in the middle of a crucial negotiation about Apple software copyrights with a foreign client. After getting Stella’s call, he couldn’t
Finally, he told his assistant to take over the negotiation, and he rushed back home as fast as he could.
But the journey was long. Even with a private jet, it still took him several hours,
He couldn’t bring himself to imagine what Stella might be going through if no one was there to help her. He was even more afraid that if she was waiting for him and he didn’t show up, she would lose faith in him.
Worse yet, he kept thinking about what would happen to her if he didn’t make it in time.
All these thoughts were bouncing around in his head, making it impossible for him to calm down.
He ran to Crescent Villa as fast as he could.
But when he arrived, he saw a woman who was nothing but skin and bones, desperately struggling to fight back. He could hardly believe this was the girl he had been talking to online.
However, he knew none of that mattered at that time. He had to save her.
Jordan scooped Stella up and was stunned by how frighteningly light she was. It felt like she might be blown away by the slightest breeze,
Still, he managed to carry her out and rushed her straight to the hospital. By the time they got to the hospital, she was already unconscious
There, he learned that she was Stella Hayes, the older twin daughter of the Hayes family. Years ago, she had been kidnapped and taken to Middle–South Yaria. After she managed to escape, she was trafficked into a small town,
He even heard that she had figured out a way to break out all by herself.
He believed that Stella would find a way out with her smarts if she were the girl he had been chatting with online.
Seeing her family arrive, Jordan slipped away. But given after he got home, he couldn’t calm down for a long time.
He had someone look into Stella’s story. He found that it was Stella’s younger sister, Anna, who received the admission letter fro and finished her studies there in three years.
Jordan wondered. But Stella told me that she got into Quentiham University, Why was it Anna who studied there?”
No one could give him an answer, but he was absolutely certain that Stella would never be to him
tham University
Then he read the news report about Stella. She was never supposed to show her face in public, but the Hayes family still pushed her into the spotlight

just to protect their interests.
In the news, Stella described her life in the small town and how she had helped everyone there turn their lives around and get rich.
Because of that, she managed to pass information to the police bit by bit and finally got out.
At Anna and Lionel’s engagement party, Stella confronted them and listed every crime Anna and the Hayes family had committed. However, not a sing person believed her.
Jordan thought, “Stella is so wonderful. She couldn’t have done those dirty things. It must have been the Hayes family who did them
After that, Jordan secretly watched Stella. He noticed that most of the time, she didn’t even have a car and had to walk everywhere. Her steps were awkward, and more than once she was about to collapse, but she kept pushing herself forward.
He wanted to help her, but he was afraid he might scare her. Thus, he just kept watching her from afar.
Bumping into her that day was a pure coincidence. But when he realized she was looking for a marriage partner, Jordan was ready to throw himself in the race, no matter what.
Maybe it was crazy to fall for someone he only knew online, but now that Stella appeared in his real world, he realized his heart stil skipped a beat for
her.
She might not be as healthy or lively as she once had been, but he was certain that with enough care and patience, she would recover and become her old self again.
He wanted to confess his feelings to her and let her know exactly how much he cared about her
But now, she was already his wife, Everything would have to take its time. He believed that she would accept him one day.
