Chapter 2025
When Love Comes Late
If it werenât for Stella, she wouldnât have to be so guarded within the Clark family.
Now with Lucia and Waldo on Stellaâs side, there was no chance Matthew would favor her.
The more Lindsay thought about it, the more determined she became.
She was closer to Lucia and Waldo.
Why should Stella, an outsider, replace her?
If they were gone⦠Lindsay couldnât help but think.
After all, Lucia and Waldo were supportive of Stella.
Lindsay realized she only had herself to rely on.
With that thought, she decided she must act.
Then, Joann called.
Irritated, Lindsay answered the phone reluctantly.
Joannâs shocked voice came through.
âLindsay, have you seen the news online? It says Stella is still alive.
Is that true?â
Lindsay, already upset by Matthewâs coldness and now hearing Stellaâs name, clenched her teeth in frustration.
But it was not the time to show her ange
r.
âYes,â Lindsay said indifferently.
Hearing this, Joann was so angry that she raised her voice and shouted, âThis bitch is incredibly lucky! How is she still alive? Itâs just not fair!â
She had seen the announcement from Prosperity Group and thought Matthew was in denial, which was why she called Lindsay to verify.
To her dismay, it was true.
Stella was indeed still alive!
Joann was shaking with anger.
Lindsay had no patience for her ranting.
âSheâs okay.
I have other things to handle nowâ¦â
She tried to end the call, but Joann cut her off.
âThere was an accident on the hillside road today.
A line of Clark family cars was there.
I heard a car went over the cliff with Stellaâs parents inside.
â
Hearing this, Lindsayâs interest was piqued.
She glanced around and hurried back to her room.
Then she asked quietly, âExplain it clearly.
â
Joann replied, âI got all this from my brother, and itâs not very clear.
But I also heard that Stellaâs father was taken by the police while in a wheelchair.
â
Lindsay clicked her tongue.
âIt looks like Matthew doesnât love Stella as much as he claims.
â
Considering Matthewâs attitude, she thought it seemed too calm.
If something this big had really happened, he should have reacted more strongly.
Joann continued, âIf Stellaâs father is in trouble and Matthew doesnât help, I bet Stella will confront him.
They might even divorce over this.
You should grab this chance.
â
Joannâs final words were meaningful.
