Chapter 101 A Subtle Fragrance Through the Hardship
She was like a chrysanthemum emanating fragrance. She was cool, aloof, and arrogant. But after coming into contact with her, she made people feel relaxed and comfortable.
“I’m sorry. If we were just an ordinary family, we would live a happy life with a daughter-in-law like you. But now we can’t afford to lose anything.” Suzi Shine sighed, turned around, and left.
When Stella Grace heard a bang, the sound of the door closing, she burst into tears.
As a matter of fact, she had thought about this outcome for a long time ago.
The reason why Cinderella could be with her prince was because of her magical gown as well as her unique glass slippers.
If Cinderella was just an ordinary peasant and did not a fairy godmother to make her a princess, she would not be able to be meet her prince.
However, she still felt a sharp pain in her heart. It was as if a hammer had pierced into her heart and punched open a gaping hole.
Only by having too much warmth could one realize the frigidness of cold.
She had high hopes before, so she was so desperate now.
Stella cried for a long, long time.
She was finally tired of all the crying and fell asleep on the sofa.
She was awakened by the ringtone of her mobile phone.
Stella opened her eyes and saw Eli Wayne’s name flashing on the screen. She answered, “What’s wrong, Eli?”
“Have you seen it on the Internet? The person who killed State Mayor Cher has been caught, and there is the footage of the shooting incident. The police also found the house that the murderer rented near the prosecution bureau. The broadcaster said that State Mayor Cher had collected the murderer’s money, but he did nothing. The murderer was so exasperated that he killed the state mayor.
In my opinion, the murderer is a fool. State Mayor Cher has been detained by the inspectorate. He doesn’t have to do anything actually, and State Mayor Cher would eventually be punished. Why did he do that? Don’t you think he’s stupid?” Eli commented.
Stella remained silent.
The officials did not report the news on the stolen gold bars and the massacre of the villagers.
In this world, many truths were buried in cruel reality.
She wanted to help Timmy Nine uncover the other murderers, but she was helpless.
“What’s wrong? Stella, are you listening?” Eli asked worriedly.
“Yes, I am. I just woke up and still feel dizzy. I’m going out to eat now. Let’s talk later when I come back at night,” Stella said.
“Well, it’s already three o’clock in the afternoon. You haven’t eaten yet. Grab something to eat quickly. That’s it then, bye.” Eli hung up the phone.
Stella went to the bathroom to wash her face. Her eyes were a little puffy, and she thought about her life for a while.
She could not just sit still and wait for doom. She exhaled some pent-up frustration and decided to give Wilson Chuck a phone call.
Wilson saw an unfamiliar call coming through. He answered the call and asked curiously, “Who is this?”
“Dad, this is Stella. I want to go home.” Stella said blatantly.
“What are you talking about?” Wilson’s voice was sharp, and he said heartlessly, “I don’t admit you as my daughter.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to?” Stella smiled slightly. “After Mom gave birth to me, you secretly drugged her with psychiatric medications. You divorced Mom and she was left alone, mentally ill, isolated, and helpless. But don’t forget that I’m still your biological daughter .”
Wilson frowned and yelled in panic, “What on earth do you want?”
“I think, Dad, you should have gained a lot of enemies in the political arena. Whether the testimony of your own daughter is true or false, what would the public believe? Can you still keep your position if this news is leaked?” Stella said lightly.
“I am your father. You are such an ungrateful brute! How dare you try to harm me?” Wilson said in a very agitated manner.
“Yes, you are my father. I don’t want to hurt you. I just want to go home. If I’m homeless, I don’t know what crazy things I will do. After all, I have a mentally ill mother. By then if I babble nonsense and make you feel upset, please forgive me, because I’m homeless and have no choice,” Stella said with tears welling up in her red eyes.
“You haven’t contacted me for such a long time, why are you suddenly coming back this time?” Wilson questioned suspiciously and lowered his voice. He was already gnashing his teeth in exasperation.
Stella smiled bitterly.
In the past, she was on her own, supporting her mother with her own capabilities.
She was reluctant to ask for help from a man who wanted her and her mother died.
Now, she could not become a woman under Jasper Milton’s protection.
In that case, she would have to use her own abilities to protect him.
Love, in fact, did not mean that they must be together. It was better to watch him from a distance, if that meant he could be safe.
“Dad, I’ve had a hard time. I miss you,” Stella said faintly.
“You’re doing very well in the hospital, aren’t you? Although Frederick divorced you, you’re free now. Besides, he only fancies Felicia and not you anyway.” Wilson retorted.
“Oh, Daddy, you could disagree, but then I can only rely on your political rivals to support me. I believe that they will give me a better response.” Stella said calmly.
“How dare you!” Wilson threatened.
“Dad, the fact is, I am your daughter, we share the same blood flowing in our veins.
“You only have two daughters, Felicia and I. Felicia is the apple of your eye. She has been spoiled since she was a child. She has bad tempers, she is unable to endure hardship, she has poor EQ, and low IQ. She will never accomplish anything great in her life.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Don’t you want someone to help you achieve greater things?” Stella tried to convince Wilson.
“Will you help me?” Wilson did not believe her. He knew clearly how bad he treated this daughter of his, and also her mother.
“Blood is thicker than water. In fact, only you can help me. Only if you are doing well, I can be better. I understand this principle.” Stella said coldly.
“I have to think about it. You know your stepmother’s background. It’s not my call. In addition, Frederick can possibly become your brother-in-law. If you come here, Felicia will hate me to death.” Wilson was very sharp.
“Are you so sure that Frederick will become Felicia’s husband? Haha! Later, I’ll send a video to you, Dad. Maybe you will understand better.” Stella hung up the phone.
She took a deep breath and thought, talking to such people was truly a battle of wits and courage.
She had to consolidate everything step by step now.
She made up her mind and called Frederick Addington.
“Why did you call me?” Frederick was curious.
“Two hours later, I’ll see you at Golden Garden. I’ve booked a private cubicle for us. Are you free? I have something to tell you.” Stella said cautiously.
“Golden Garden, okay, see you in two hours.” Frederick hung up the phone doubtfully.
Stella reserved a cubicle and then installed pinhole cameras in it.
After finishing up, she went to a nearby mall to buy a sexy, slinky, silk dress.
She had been with Frederick for four years. Although she had not had sex with him, she knew Frederick’s taste for women very well.
Those women who had been with him were almost the same type: sexy, seductive, having good figures, easy to get and easy to be dumped.
She put on the dress, and her cleavage was faintly visible.
The skirt’s hemline had a three-dimensional cutting. One side was long, while the other side was short, which showed off her long and slender legs.
She bought a set of makeup from a cosmetic store downstairs of the shopping mall, and asked the shop assistant to help her put on a particularly enchanting look.
From that moment on, the battle had begun…
