Chapter 1124
Stella frowned and gave the girl an unpleasant look. She pulled her cap down and said nothing. Stella realized that
the girl, who was taking pictures of her, was the same girl standing next to her in the elevator. 'Maybe she
recognized me when the kid pulled my mask earlier. It doesn't matter. I have to leave as soon as possible.'
Stella turned her head in Marshall's direction, but he was nowhere to be seen. So, she pulled out her phone and
texted him, [I think someone recognized me. I'll buy the mugs some other time. I'm gonna go downstairs and try to
leave. Don't wait for me.]
After sending the message, Stella handed the glassware to the cashier and said, "Sorry. I don't want these
anymore." She then turned around and left. When the girl saw her leaving, she ran up and grabbed her. "You're
Stella Jewell, right?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella broke away from the girl's grip and coldly said, "I think you got the wrong person."
"No, I don't. It's you!" The girl agitatedly said as she held her phone in Stella's face and tried to yank her mask off,
hitting her chin in the process.
Stella was in pain and subconsciously pushed the other party's hand away. She accidentally hit the girl's phone, and
it dropped. Everyone looked toward the direction of the sound while the girl hurriedly bent down to pick up her
phone. Stella was about to say something when another girl rushed up and pushed her away. "What do you think
you're doing? Are you trying to hit her again?"
The push caused Stella to stagger. When she regained her footing, she saw that the girl's phone was fine. So, she
kept quiet and turned to leave, but the other girl immediately stopped her. "How dare you try to escape after
dropping this poor girl's phone?"
Stella narrowed her lips and responded in a deep voice, "Her phone hit me on the chin, so I instinctively pushed it
away. It's called a reflex. And as you can see, her phone is perfectly fine."
"Shouldn't you apologize even if you didn't break it? I was clearly taking pictures of the store. What makes you think
you could hit my hand like that?" The first girl said
aggressively.
'What the hell? You weren't taking pictures of the store. You literally held your phone in my face and asked for my
name,' thought Stella. She would have fought the girls if it was not for the wrong timing.
Stella took a deep breath and suppressed the raging fire in her heart. Then, she said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry
for the misunderstanding."
But the other party said, "Who apologizes while wearing a mask? It's not sincere enough. Take off your mask and do
it again!"
Stella looked at the girls and decided not to entertain them without something in return. "I can do that, but she has
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto delete the photos she took of me."
The girl was taken aback. She did not expect Stella to react the way she did and started to get a little annoyed. "She
said she wasn't taking pictures of you!"
"Well, I'm afraid she can't take pictures in this store," said Stella while pointing at a "No Photography Allowed" sign.
"I'll apologize again if you tell her to delete all the photos she took in here.”
Stella then called one of the staff, pointed to the two girls, and said, ’Hello. These two ladies have taken photos of
the store. Can you please check their phones? I came here to purchase some glassware, not appear in other
people's galleries."
The staff hastily apologized and asked the two girls to show the recent pictures in their albums just to make sure.
The girl who dropped her phone was flustered when she heard that. However, the other girl was calm. "You're not
the law. You have no right to search our phones."
"So you know the law, huh?" Stella laughed. She held her phone up to show them that she was calling 911. "Since
I'm also a law-abiding citizen, I think it would be best to settle this with the authorities. That way, we can amicably
get things over with."
The two girls panicked when they saw what was on the screen of Stella's phone.
