Chapter 573: Chapter 574

When Riley walked out of the washroom , she saw Weston carrying Guinevere into the hospital.

She didn’t notice Guinevere at first and was instead attracted by the handsome man, gushing over how lucky she was to see someone so good-looking at the hospital. That was when she realized that the woman in the handsome man’s arms was Guinevere Cohen…

Guinevere was a prominent celebrity known as the ‘film queen.’ It was easy to recognize her immediately.

She was excited to share what she saw, but Roger’s face had turned stiff.

“What’s the matter?”

Something was wrong.

Thinking she must’ve said something wrong, Riley apologized. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you wait so long She had indeed made them wait, but it was only for a couple of minutes.

She had always been carefree and easy-going, constantly worried about whether she had upset others.

“Let’s go.” Roger stood up, his face clearly upset, though he didn’t say much.

Stella remained silent as well.

Riley immediately felt anxious, “What’s going on? Did I say something wrong…?”

Stella glanced at her and said, “Don’t imagine things. Roger is just in a bad mood, and it’s not because of you.”

“Oh…” Riley still felt uneasy.

Seeing Roger sitting alone in front, she couldn’t help but say, “Stella, can you tell me more regarding Robb?”

“What about him?”

“Just things that he usually likes. I want to avoid angering him.”

Stella, in turn, couldn’t hold back her reminders to Riley.” Don’t give in to him too much. He has quite a tantrum. You’re precious to your parents, too. Don’t put yourself at a disadvantage over a man.”

Riley widened her eyes. “This is the first time I’ve heard a sister talk about her brother like this. He’s your brother, after all. Don’t you wish that other women treat him well?”

“Of course, I hope others will treat him well.”

Stella rubbed in between her brows and sighed. “But being a woman, I don’t want to see other women suffering. I know him best; he has the ability to get obsessed over the slightest thing. As much as I hope that he has a loving girlfriend, I can’t possibly be jeopardizing another girl’s life, can I?”

“I don’t think he’ll jeopardize mine!” Riley interjected, smiling. “I like his temperament… Wicked yet cool…”

Stella shook her head, “I really have no idea what young people are thinking nowadays.”

Both women chatted merrily.

None of them noticed the person looking at them from the other end of the corridor.

Weston was getting some fresh air on the balcony when he saw Stella walking past him. He was about to walk toward her when he saw Riley next to her, and he changed his mind.

He texted Stella.

“Where are you?”

Stella sent Riley into the car.

She was about to get into the car herself when she saw the text. Her face stiffened. She didn’t reply, but she didn’t get into the car either.

She looked at her surroundings and made sure no one was around before saying to Roger, “Head back to campus and send Riley back. I have something else to attend to.”

Roger immediately lowered the window. “Stella, aren’t you coming with us?”

“I have something to settle. Some last-minute work just cropped up at the studio.”

Roger looked disappointed. “You were just talking about coming to school with me…”

“I’ve visited your school so many times. You’re no longer a child. Why? Don’t you dare to return by yourself?”

Riley immediately added, “He’s not alone, either. I’ll be with him!”

She leaned against the window and said to Stella, “Don’t you worry. I’ll take good care of him.”

“Who needs you to take care of me?” Roger glared at her, dissatisfied . “Plus, she’s not your sister but mine. Don’t act like you’re close with her.”

He had said this many times, but Riley had never taken him seriously.

Over her dead body, would she be so obedient!

The sight of the two bickering with each other put Stella’s heart at ease.

She shut the door and watched the car speed away into the distance before pulling out her phone.
