Chapter 756
Stella headed to her home with Roger next to Fern University. It was already very late when she arrived. After all, it
took a couple of hours to travel by car from Ahn City to Fern City.
When she got out of the cab, it was already half past nine.
She dragged her luggage into the neighborhood and sensed that something was wrong. This was supposed to be a
safe and quiet neighborhood in the university town.
Many people were coming and going. The people living here were mostly teachers and students, so it was rare for
the neighborhood to be so crowded. Stella did not think much about it. As she entered the front door of her
building, a man in uniform gave her a look.
The man was dressed in gray work clothes and spoke an unknown local dialect to her. He only made a gesture to
her, but she did not understand him.
There was a group of people chattering about something there. She waited for a moment and saw that the man did
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot say anything other than showing the gesture earlier. She stopped caring about it and went into the elevator.
When she arrived at her floor, she walked out of the
elevator. After taking a few steps, she saw several people standing in front of her house and pointing at the door.
She froze for a moment. “Is there something wrong?” The group of people heard her and looked back. They did not
care about her and said in annoyance, “We’re working here! Don’t disturb us! Go away!”
The man had a heavy accent, but Stella understood him. She frowned a little. “This is my house!”
She took the keys and walked over. “Why are you gathered here?”
One of the men who looked like the leader looked at her and said, “This building is a major safety hazard. All the
residents have been evacuated for safety reasons.”
Stella’s face changed. “What do you mean? I never received a notice. The property management didn’t say
anything…”
She wanted to open the door. “This is my house. I live here.”
When they saw her reaction, they directly pulled her away and stood in front of her, blocking her. “Didn’t we explain
just now? There are many safety hazards here! Before the notice is taken down, no one can live here!”
Stella’s face changed again. “Then where am I going to live? I have no place to go. You have to give me a place to
stay.”
“Can you be reasonable, miss? We’re helping you to remove the safety hazards problem. Forget that you’re not
thanking us-you’re even asking us to arrange a place for you to live?”
“But if you don’t let me in, I have nowhere else to go…”
“Then what do you want us to do? Should we stop our job just because of you? Do you want every resident to live in
a building with safety hazards just because of you?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Leave! Don’t disturb us!” That man chased Stella away impatiently.
Stella did not expect such an issue. She had to calm down and ask, “When will you be done?”
“It’s hard to say…”
A worker surveyed around and said, “You’ll have to wait until we eliminate the safety hazards. We can’t treat your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsafety issues lightly, can we? If you have to stay in a building with safety hazards issues, you’d feel uncomfortable
about it!”
Stella finally understood. They were just giving excuses to delay her!
She knew there was no point in arguing, so she had no choice but to head to the nearest hotel. When she took out
her identification to check in, she felt something strange was going on.
The receptionist had helped check her in, but after processing her check-in on the computer, she looked troubled.
The receptionist returned her identification card with an awkward look. “Miss, I’m sorry. Your ID isn’t valid now, so I
can’t check you in.”
“Why?”
The receptionist shook her head. “I’m not sure, but your ID doesn’t match the security system on our computer. It’s
considered an unidentified check-in. The hotel has rules against this, so we can’t check you in.”
Stella slowly clenched her first and thought of Weston.
She had known he would not let her go that easily. He did it on purpose! Everything from the group of people
standing in front of her building and the hotel might all be his doing
