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 not 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 safety 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
