Anna’s gaze swept over the many things on the table and the floor, her eyes full of envy. She said, “Stella, we saw Henry bought all these for you, didn’t he? He’s so sweet to you.”

mein just now. Ha

Anna’s face crumpled with hurt, her eyes welling up with tears. She thought, ‘Of course I can’t marly Henry, have had a crush on Lionel for so long. But back then, he only had eyes for Stella.

“Wher three long years of waiting for Lionel to finally marry me, there is no way I would ever settle for Henry”

Emily couldn’t stand seeing Stella treat Anna like this and quickly came to Anna’s defense. She said, “Stella, you know, it’s not all Anna’s fault. She didn’t choose to be sick.

“As soon as she woke up last night, she called me right away and said she wanted to come see you first thing this morning. Look, she even bought you all these essentials you might need.”

Stella refused to even glance at them, maintaining a stony silence.

Anna grabbed Stella’s hand and said, “Stella, it’s all my fault. Hit me, scold me, do whatever you want. Just don’t give me the silent treatment. It hurts too much when you ignore me like this.”

Without a word, Stilla withdrew her hand. She said coldly, “Anna, Emily, do you even know what I need from you right now?”

Anna looked at Stella expectantly. She said, “Stella, just say the word and we’ll do it right away”

Emily also nodded eagerly

“Get out!” Stella snapped.

Anna and Emily’s faces darkened Anna looked on the verge of collapsing Emily, unable to contain her fury, pointed at Stella and lashed out.

She snapped, “Stella, how could you be so heartless? Anna skipped breakfast this morning just to rush over and see you.

“She said that while she’s still feeling okay, the wants to take care of you, to be the best sister she can, and cherish you. And this is how you repay her? You’re being so ungrateful.”

“Didn’t you hear me? I told you to get out now,” Stella snapped, her voice icy and unyielding

Emily shot buck, “Get out? Why should I? Your words are so nasty. I must have been blind to ever call you my friend. I never thought you’d turn out to be such an impossible person!”

Stella said nothing, her eyes locked on Emily with a chilling intensity

Emily felt a twinge of unease, but still asserted righteously, “Am I wrong? If you weren’t such a mess to begin with, would any of this have happened to you? Why hasn’t it happened to any of us? You deserve it.”

Sulla’s eyes reddened, and she suddenly burst into hysterics. She screamed, “Get out. Get the hell out right now. I mean now.”

Seeing Stella about to get out of bed and lash out Emily quickly shielded Anna with her body. She said, “If you want to hurt someone, then hurt me. But don’t you dare touch Anna.”

Stella suddenly tumbled off the bed. It started Anna and Emily.

Anna instinctively moved to help Stella up, but Emily grabbed her arm, holding her back. Emily said, “Anna, don’t go over there. She’ll hurt you.”

Anna protested, “But she’s my sister, I can’t just abandon her

Emily sighed and said, “Forget it. Anna Let’s just go, if anything happens to her, you know the’ll find a way to blame us

Anna hesitated, still uneasy about leaving Stella Emily kept pushing Anna insistently in the end, the two of the walked out

Since yesterday, Stella had fallen twice, leaving her in excruciating pain. She thought that leaving the small town would set her free, but even ather coming home, her misery continued unabated.

She thought. “Why am il so miserable? Why am I so damn unlucky? Couldn’t life have shown mo just. a little more mercy?

Stella struggled back onto the bed, using every ounce of her strength. As she did, her wounds split open

When the nurse came to apply medicine to Stella, she couldn’t help but say, “What’s going on with you? Stop moving around unnecessarily. If you keep this up, not even divine intervention could save you.”

Stella remained vilent.

After the nurse leht, Stella pulled out her phone and called her lawyer. She asked, “Can you help me find a private investigator

The lawyer replied, “That’s not a problem. But what kind of case are you looking into? If it’s something from way back, just so you know, the fee could get

pretty steep.

Stella replied, “It was about three years ago.”

The lawyer said, “I’ll put you in touch, You two can discuss the details directly.”

Stella said, “Okay”

The private investigator’s number quickly came through. Stella contacted him.

Stella said firmly, “I need you to look into my kidnapping three years ago. Money is no object. ll pay whatever it takes.”

The private investigator said, “Are you Stella Hayes? And you suspect your kidnapping back then was premeditated?

Stella said, “Yes, it’s no use reporting it to the police now. It’s been too many years. They did file a report back then, but never found my kidnapper Stil, think your investigation might have better chances.”

The private investigator said, “Three years is quite some time, but fortunately, it’s not too far in the past. That should make it relatively manageable to investigate.”

A flicker of joy crossed Stella’s face. She asked, “So, you’re actually willing to take this job?”

The private investigator replied, “Once the job’s done, my fee is 150 thousand.”

Stella said, “I’ll give you 300 thousand.”

The private investigator said, “Deal.”

Later that day, Eleanor visited Stella. After a brief stay, Stella had Mary escort Eleanor home.

Fiona arrived that ahemoon, her face set in a disapproving scowl the moment she walked in, She snapped, “Stela, I adm you without understanding the situation.

Lather shouldn’t have hit

“But what kind of nonsense did you spout in front of Eleanor? Are you so determined to turn this whole household upside down? Does it make you happy to see everyone miserable

“Your brother used to say you only came back to seek revenge on all of us, and used to believe it, I always thought you were perfect. But look what you’ve done now.

Stella was about to speak, but after Fiona’s relentless trade, she lost all desire to say anything
