Chapter 67
Stellar nodded in satisfaction and gave the leading officer a slight bow.
“Thank you, Captain Lee I accept the ruling”
With everything settled, she turned and left the station with Mary Warren.
But the moment they stepped outside, a familiar figure was already waiting.
Margaret stood there, her expression cold, unaware that Stellar had already refused the settlement.
Without a word, she shoved a document toward her–a formal agreement, its crisp white pages stamped with bold black ink,
“Stellar, I’m warning you not to push your luck. My son gave you plenty over the years. If you’re not an ungrateful wretch, then sign this statement of forgiveness!”
She was the one asking for a favor, yet she still carried herself as if she were the one in control.
Mary’s eye twitched with irritation, barely restraining herself from slapping the woman outright.
But before she could react, Stellar spoke first.
“I’m not signing it.”
“What did you just say?”
Margaret’s fists tightened, her voice sharp with rage. “Do you have any idea how much money our company is bleeding every day Percy is locked up? You ungrateful bitch!”
“Your losses have nothing to do with me. This is the consequence of his actions. He should deal with it himself,” Stellar said
coolly, her gaze sharp as a blade.
“Madam Farrell, your son caused this mess, yet instead of reflecting on where you went wrong in raising him, you’re blaming
me?
“It’s because of mothers like you that he turned into such a spoiled man–child.
Mark my words–one day, your indulgence will lead him to commit an even greater crime.
“And when that day comes, you can watch as he spends the rest of his life behind bars.”
With that, she grabbed Mary’s hand and walked away without a second glance.
Margaret was so enraged that her blood pressure skyrocketed.
She nearly fainted on the spot
“You ungrateful little wretch! If I had known back then, I never would have let Percy bring you home. I should’ve left you to rot on

the streets!”
She couldn’t believe it.
The girl who once hung on her every word had turned defiant, bold, even daring to lecture her!
Someone had to be backing her.
She refused to believe that Stellar could get away with this forever.
She’d wait.
The moment Stellar’s so–called powerful backer abandoned her, she would make sure the girl paid for every bit of humiliation
she had suffered today.
Stellar had no idea what Margaret was thinking.
But even if she did, she wouldn’t have cared.
After getting into the car with Mary, she finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity any longer.
“Mary, how are you that skilled in combat? You took down a full–grown man so effortlessly. He didn’t even have a chance to fight
back!”
Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she looked at Mary, full of genuine awe.
However, Mary looked a little embarrassed under her gaze.
of skill
“Miss, to be honest, I come from a family of martial artists. This little bit of skill is nothing special.”
It was precisely because of her background that she got chosen to personally serve Martha.
She accompanied her everywhere, eliminating the need for a bodyguard,
After all, who would ever suspect that a dignified, middle–aged woman like her had such formidable abilities?
“But to me, your moves were incredible,” Stellar said, still in awe.
She had always been fascinated by martial arts.
Unable to hold back, she hooked her arm around Mary’s and playfully pleaded, “Mary, can you teach me? I want to be as strong as
you!”
“Of course,” Mary agreed without hesitation
She was more than happy to pass down her skills.
After all, if Stellar could defend herself, she wouldn’t have to rely on others for protection

And as fate would have it–she had yet to find a suitable successor.
“That’s amazing! Thank you, Mary” Stellar beamed, her smile bright and sweet.
After returning home, she had a quick lunch,
That afternoon, Mary began teaching her the fundamentals of martial arts.
