Chapter 1098 If the Sealey family and Stellaâs relationship hadnât been such a big deal, they wouldâve been all musing over Stellaâs marriage to Weston.
Those related to her were eager to bask in Westonâs glory. However, they knew how ruthless they were when they kicked Stella out of the family, so they did not dare to bother her without any notice, fearing it would make things worse.
They only thought about contacting Stella after her grandparents passed. After all, it was Stellaâs grandmother who kicked them out of the family. No one else stepped in.
They did not help Stella when she was kicked out of the family, but they could say that they were afraid of Grandma Sealey and didnât dare to mediate the situation. They were in a difficult position themselves, but at least they could justify their action.
The dead had passed and would never come back to life. It was easier to let the dead take the blame anyway.
âStella, itâs been so long since Iâve seen you. Youâre all grown up!â
One of Stellaâs distant uncles came over and looked at her with emotion and nostalgia. âI felt guilty all these years. I couldnât give you a hand before...â
He sighed a little. âBut you should know. Your grandmother is too stubborn. I canât just disobey her. Sheâs gone now, but she actually misses you. Before she passed away, she specially told us to let you come visit on behalf of your father.â
If it was before, Stella would have just ignored him. She knew they were being hypocrites . Things had changed, however. She had learned to smile and speak with these people despite her disdain.
âIâm glad she thought of me before she died. After all, sheâs never asked about me after all these years,â
Stella said with an indifferent smile.
Stellaâs uncle smiled awkwardly and sighed. âSheâs stubborn and unwilling to admit her mistake to the younger children. We tried to advise her, but... Anyway, itâs good that youâre back. After all, blood ties are inseparable. Donât you think so?â
After that, he moved his gaze from Stella to Weston, who stood next to her. He acted as if he had just seen him.
âMr. Ford, youâre here with Stella?â He smiled with relief. âIâm glad that Stella has you with her.â
âItâs what I should do,â Weston responded differently.
Stella glanced at him. Weston was again distant to outsiders . He shook hands with Stellaâs uncle and then quickly withdrew it.
Weston remained humble from the beginning to the end. He gave off the impression that he was not overly arrogant, yet was somehow distant and unreachable.
There were a lot of people waiting to catch up with Stella. However, they were all here, in fact, for Weston.
Stella understood how it was all about Weston. After all, his status and power were very attractive to these people who coveted fame and fortune.
Even so, she could not help but feel tired at heart.
There were no reporters at the funeral due to Stella and Westonâs presence. However, people were waiting outside for Stella to show up, ready to flock to the scene as soon as she appeared.
There were many different opinions about Zacharyâs cause of death, and everyone wanted to find out more.
With paparazzi flocking around, eager to know the latest, harsh security measures were put in place.,â
No one else except for family members and guests could come in.
Michael had come over with Diana.
âStella, Mr. Ford,â he greeted them while holding the woman beside him carefully. âYou came.â
Diana was a woman who adored the concept of beauty.
She could never live without her high heels, but due to her pregnancy, she was actually wearing flats and maternity clothes.
It wasnât easy for them to have child, so they cherished it with their lives.
