Chapter 94\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve caught every change in Stella\u2019s expression, but she said nothing. Meanwhile, Tristan leaned against the doorframe, his gaze deep and unreadable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, the doorbell rang again. Tristan walked over and opened the door. Standing outside was a middle\u2013aged man in a black suit. Genevieve recognized him as Sylvia\u2019s personal driver, Ethan Miller.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan\u2019s gaze slipped past Tristan and landed on Stella in the living room. He said respectfully, \u201cMr. Hale, Mrs. Lambert misses Ms. Lambert. She asked me to bring her over so that they can have a meal together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella bit her lower lip. This was definitely because of Zachary. She muttered, \u201cI\u2019m not going.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
All of a sudden, she no longer wanted to see Sylvia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan frowned and said, \u201cMs. Lambert, please don\u2019t make things difficult for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI said I\u2019m not going!\u201d Stella shouted as she looked up. Her eyes were already red. She didn\u2019t want to leave this place. As long as she stayed here, she wouldn\u2019t have to learn things she didn\u2019t like or follow all those so\u2013called rules and etiquette.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve set the documents aside and slowly walked over. She crouched down so they were at eye level. She asked, \u201cDo you want to stay here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella nodded hard. Her eyes shimmered with tears, making her look like a pitiful little animal desperately seeking shelter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve said, \u201cTell him you want to stay then. Have him go back and tell your mother that you\u2019re still sick and need to rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
11\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon hearing that, Stella froze. She hadn\u2019t expected Genevieve to help her. Instinctively, she glanced at Tristan. He simply stood there quietly, as though he had handed all decision\u2013making power over to Genevieve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Encouraged, Stella took a deep breath and gathered her courage. \u201cEthan, I have a fever. I don\u2019t feel well. Please go back and tell my mom that I\u2019m not going today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan\u2019s gaze swept briefly over Genevieve and Tristan before settling back on Stella. He knew that with Tristan around, forcing the issue was impossible. So, he said, \u201cGot it, Ms. Lambert. As for your luggage\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo! I\u2019ll go back on my own in a couple of days,\u201d replied Stella before he could finish his words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan said nothing more. He nodded and turned to leave. The black Bentley soon left in silence. It was only then that the tension in Stella\u2019s body finally eased. She looked at Genevieve and whispered, \u201cThank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve raised a brow. However, no one expected that half an hour later, Stella\u2019s phone would start ringing nonstop. It was a call from Sylvia. At once, Stella\u2019s face went pale. She stared at the call, not daring to answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was already the third call. If she continued to ignore it, Sylvia would definitely come over in person. In the end, she swiped to answer. She mumbled, \u201cHello, Mom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStella! Just how bold have you gotten? How dare you ignore my words now?\u201d It was obvious that Sylvia was furious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2013I don\u2019t feel well,\u201d explained Stella in a low voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sylvia\u2019s voice shot up. \u201cI\u2019m giving you half an hour. Get to Emerald Palace immediately. Otherwise, I\u2019ll send you back to that boarding school.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The call ended. Stella clutched her phone, her face drained of all color. She didn\u2019t want to go back to that place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching Stella\u2019s expression, Genevieve frowned. She asked, \u201cDid she threaten you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella sniffled but shook her head. Forcing a hofofa huff, she lifted her chin and said, \u201cOf course not. She\u2019s my mom. I\u2019m just going to have a meal with her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
