Chapter 50

Stella clung tightly

thtly to Eleanor Years of pent–up grievances and anguish came pouring out

Eleanor assumed Stella was just frightened. After all, it was only natural to have lingering fears aber a car accident like that

She gently patted Stella’s back and said softly, “There, there. It’s alright now. It’s all over. You’re safe. I have got you. No one will dare lay a finger on you

Still remained silent.

It was precisely because Eleanor was here that others dared act with impunity. They knew Eleanor was the only one Stella caned about, and with her fragile health, Stella simply couldn’t bring herself to tell Eleanor the truth.

Even now, Fiona and the others were watching Stella like hawks, terrified she might let slip a single compromising word.

Eleanor cried, “What is the world coming to, that it can’t see Stella, always subjecting her to such things?”

Fiona couldn’t help chiming in, “Maybe it’s the name that’s bringing bad luck? I was thinking that she could grow up to be as beautiful and elegant as a star when I named her Stella.

“But now, I wonder if the name’s meaning isn’t quite as good as I thought.”

Stella curled her lips into a mocking smile. She thought, “Beautiful and elegant? The truth is that my name was just a random pick; only Anna’s name was chosen with any real care!

Eleanor readily agreed, “Alright, let’s change it then.”

Stella shook her head and said, “Grandma, it’s not that simple to change. If I do, my diploma would become invalid.”

Max scoffed, “You’re just a high school graduate, won’t get you anywhere. What’s the big deal?”

Stella snapped back, “Max, have you forgotten why I never want to college? Need me to refresh your memory?”

Max’s eyes widened in shock, He thought “Stella had always been so docile in front of Eleanor, but ever since she came back this time, she’d been acting so cocky. Who does she think she is?

Fearing they might come to blows, Eleanor said to Stella, “Don’t worry about your education, if you don’t want to go to school, just have Maxpayt tuition at your preferred university.

“in a few years, we can arrange for the diploma to be issued. No problem.”

Eleanor thought, ‘The Hayes family still holds considerable sway in society: just pulling a few strings with the principal would settle everything!

Stella said, “Grandma, I’ve already enrolled myself in an adult education program. Don’t worry, I’ve got my future all mapped out”

“Oh, Stella, hurry up and get ready. Henry will be here soon to take you to get your marriage license.”

Eleanor looked bewildered. She asked, “Why the rush to get married? Didn’t Henry just have a car accident?”

Fiona, her tone syrupy sweet, said, “Yes, Henry had a car accident, but it wasn’t serious, and Stella wasn’t badly hurt either. Henry love with Stella, and after this accident, he realized he wants to marry her as soon as possible

“Seeing how devoted the two of them are, of course, we had no choice but to support them.”

Andrew immediately flew into a rage. He snapped, “What did you say?”

Stella declared firmly,” said I won’t marry

Andrew jabbed a finger at Stella and turned to Eleanor, His voice rose in frustration as he said, “Mom, see for yourself. This is your beloved granddaughter. We never forced her to marry Henry. It was her own choice.

“Now, on the verge of getting the manage license, she dares to back out. How am I supposed to explain this to Henry?”

Eleanor was a bit bewildered. She turned to Stella and asked, “Stella, what happened?”

“Grandma, I can’t marry him,” Stella said. Her eyes pleaded as she looked at Eleanor

Eleanor, having no idea what was going on, fell silent for a moment. After a pause, she said gently, “Stella, tell me what’s happening if you truly don’t want to get married, at least let me know how I can help you

Before Stella could speak, Anna suddenly dropped to her knees, sobbing, “Grandma, it’s all my fault.”

Fiona quickly moved to help Anna up.

Anna give Fiona a reassuring look and, sobbing, said, “It was I who took Stella’s spot at the top university. Then our parents a kidnappers. She’s hated us, especially me, ever since. That’s why she provoked Troy.

abandoned her to thos

“Troy teamed up with our business rivals to target our family, and then Stella volunteered to marry Henry, claiming Henry would invest in our family business. Dad and Max believed her.

“Stella then forced Mom and Dad to hand over their shares. For the sake of our family business and for you, Grandma, they had no choice but to comply.

“As soon as Stella got her hands on the shares, she decided she didn’t want to marry Henry after all. Now, Henry is sure to take revenge on our family

“Grandma, please talk some sense into Stella. It’s all my fault. I never should have been born. If she’d just spare our family, I’ll apologize to her a thousand times if that’s what it takes”

With that, Anna threw herself to the floor, frantically knocking her forehead against the ground in a desperate plea

Wiping away her tears, Fiona said, “Mom, we really didn’t want to bother you with this, but the situation is urgent now. It’s not like we want Stella to marry Henry either, but she’s the one who got us involved with hirh.

“Honestly, we’re simply no match for Henry”

Eleanor remained silent, her gaze sweeping first over Fiona and Anna, then shifting to Max and Andrew. Finally, her eyes settled on Stella. Stella met Eleanor’s gaze, her eyes brimming with helplessness. She thought, If Grandma doesn’t believe me, my whole world will ball apart

Eleanor turned to Andrew, fixing him with a sharp gaze, She said, “That’s not what really happened, is it? Tell me the truth, every single detail

Anna’s words were clearly just damage control, and the Hayes family know it.

Andrew looked helplessly at Eleanor and said, “Mother, Anna has already told you everything. Why won’t you believe her!”
