Ivy took Stella to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup.
However, the results wouldn't be available until the next day.
So, she took Stella straight to the apartment Alaric had mentioned.
Leo Archer was waiting for them at the entrance of the complex.
The building near the hospital was incredibly upscale. Alaric had arranged for them to stay in The Heights Penthouse on the 28th floor, a luxurious duplex spanning over three thousand square feet.
As Ivy followed Leo inside, she was stunned by how spacious and lavish it was.
Stella loved it immediately, running straight to the massive floor-to-ceiling windows.
Watching the child wander off, Leo finally turned to explain things to Ivy.
"Please try to understand the boss's arrangement. He had no other choice."
Ivy looked at him. "Why?"
Leo sighed. "When Elena was near the little miss, she slipped her a dose of Vesper-Toxin. That's why the boss wanted you to take her to the hospital for a checkup."
"For the sake of his daughter's health, he had to agree to Elena's demands and keep her around."
That was the extent of what he knew.
Ivy listened in absolute disbelief.
"Elena drugged Mr. Foster, and she poisoned Stella?"
How could that woman be so wicked? She wouldn't even spare a five-year-old child.
It made perfect sense now. That day when Stella vanished in the hospital, she must have been knocked out and kidnapped the moment she stepped outside.
She was completely deranged.
Ivy looked at Leo anxiously. "Then call the cops! I don't believe she'd dare withhold the antidote if the police were involved."
Leo looked helpless. "With a woman like that, the police won't do any good."
"She's already gone this far; she clearly doesn't care if she lives or dies."
"Just stay here with the little miss for now. If you need anything, let me know. Try not to bother the boss for the time being. He should be able to handle things with Elena."
The boss had actually prepared the Divorce Agreement a long time ago.
He still hadn't told Leo to give it to Ivy, which meant he clearly couldn't bear to let her go.
