Chapter 1904
"No, thanks." "Alright." Aldor took out his phone and said, 'Til just tell Mrs. Kane Sr. that
you rejected me then."
Aurora suddenly widened her gaze, "W-Wait a moment!"
Aldor looked at her. She clenched her fists and stammered after a long pause, "Fine, let's
go."
When they arrived at the cinema, and Aurora saw that Aldor had booked tickets for
"Motives for Murder," she wanted to leave. However, he forcibly dragged her into the
screening hall.
"Are you out of your mind? Why are you forcing me to boost the box office for Stella?"
Aldor said, "Put your grudges aside. This movie has a very high rating."
Before Aurora could say anything, the person sitting beside them said, "How outrageous. I
booked a ticket for a comedy, and they're playing a lousy suspense movie. Who wants to
watch this crap that is full of low-level actors and actresses? They're even trying to cheat
their box office numbers."

watched 'Motives for Murder.' Do you seriously not know who's the one cheating the box
office numbers here?"
The person confronted by Aurora was shocked. Aldor quickly held her back, "I’m sorry. She
had too much to drink."
The person called Aurora crazy and walked away. Then, Aurora glowered at Aldor, "Why
did you hold me back?"
Aldor replied, "He was talking about Mrs. Kane. Why are you so angry?"
"I-" Aurora gritted her teeth. "I'm angry because she's embarrassing my brother. Her
movie's box office numbers are going to look so bad!"
She pushed Aldor away as she spoke and ran to the ticket counter, intending to book
tickets for the entire hall.
Aldor stood still, smiled, and then followed after her.
Meanwhile, Stella had just arrived at the welfare center.
Julian called over a few older children to help them with the things they bought.
The kids called out to Stella with the sweetest tone possible.
"Where's Ms. Cooke?" Stella asked one of the teachers.
"Ms. Cooke is inside. There's a guest."
"What guest?" Stella asked as she walked.
"Someone who donated money to the welfare center. He came before a few months ago
and is here again today. He brought a lot of things, too."
Stella nodded, "I'll go take a look and say hi."
Upon reaching Shelley's office, Stella knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Stella."
Some noise came from inside. After a while, the office door was pulled open. Shelley
looked at Stella with an amiable smile, saying, "Stella, what took you so long?"
"I was busy," Stella said as she glanced into the office. She saw a man in a black cotton
jacket sitting on the sofa.

The man wore a hat and mask, only revealing his eyes. The wrinkles around his eyes were
not very obvious, and his skin was even somewhat smooth. However, his eyes made him
look very old.
"Is there a guest inside?" Stella asked softly.
Shelley nodded.
"Can I say hi to him?"
Shelley looked at the man, who then nodded. Then, Shelley let Stella in.
After that, Shelley introduced him, "This is Mr. Paul Morant. He has donated to our welfare
center before."
Then, she turned to the man and added, "Mr. Morant, this is our welfare center's main
contributor, Ms. Stella Hall."
Paul extended his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Ms.
Hall."
Stella was taken aback. Paul's voice was so hoarse that Stella would not be able to hear
what he said if she had stood a little farther.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Shelley explained, "Mr. Morant's vocal cord was damaged
by smoke before."
