NovelEnglishChapter 2240 Wren seemed a bit bashful, clasping her hands as she spoke in a subdued tone, "This is the medical bill for my grandmother's treatment at the hospital. Ms. Lark arranged to cover it forearlier. It's a hundred thousand, and the password is six zeros." Stella didn't reply immediately. Instead, she set down her pen and inquired, "Where did you get the money from?" Wren remained silent.
Stella calmly stated, "If this money wasn't obtained through legal means, even if I accept it, it would still need to be returned." Wren hurriedly responded, "It's nothing illegal. I applied for a consumer loan from the company." One of the perks at Caline was a consumer loan with a very low interest rate, approximately around three percent for three years.
However low the interest rate might be, it still needed to be repaid, and Wren was already under significant financial pressure, making it worse.

To expect favors in return and make you do things that would put you in a difficult position?" Wren was taken aback by Stella's straightforwardness. She pursed her lips and remained silent, implying her acknowledgement.
Everyone had been speculating the purpose of Stella's arrival at the company. However, with Darcie Arnold having been at Caline for so long, controlling the core departments, Stella's attempts to take away her authority weren't optimistic. Even those who didn't side with Darcie were reluctant to offend her.
Wren had the sidea; she didn't want to side with any group; she just wanted to quietly work, earn her salary, and provide medical care for her grandmother.
Stella understood this. She said, "I did indeed have that thought, but I won't go about it that way. The money Kiara gave you isn't mine; it's an advance on your salary that I applied for on your behalf from the company. I just paid it in advance because she toldyou needed money urgently, and your wages were being deducted. Ultimately, it's because ofthat you're in this situation, so you're indirectly affected. Since I know about it, I can't just stand by. The advance procedures are already in progress. You can ask your manager about it." As she spoke, she handed the card over. "I didn't think this matter through completely. Since you've already taken out a loan, I'll accept it. Once the formalities are completed in a few days, as soon as the money is deposited, you should quickly repay the loan." Stella accepted it readily and didn't get angry at Wren's lack of gratitude. Wren was very surprised. She had prepared so many ways to refuse Stella, yet she didn't even get a chance to say a single one.
After Stella finished speaking, she placed the bank card in the drawer and continued to review the documents for signing.
Wren quietly watched her, her eyes filled with curiosity, but more so with complexity.
Before she finished signing, there was another knock on the office door.
Wren quickly averted her gaze and stood obediently to the side.

Stella called out, "Cin," and the office door opened, revealinga m middle-aged man holding a document bag. Wren glanced over; she had seen this person before; he was Stella's driver.
Larry Bard walked over and handed the document bag to Stella "Ms. Hall, here it is. Stella took it and said warmly, "Thank you, you've worked hard."
The moment the documents were released, Wren noticed a mung beansized birthmark on the side of the middle joint of the man's right thumb. It was shaped somewhat like a gourd. Wren was startled for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Larry's face.
As if sensing her gaze, Larry turned his head, and their eyes met.
