Chapter 2116

But he had made his warning clear.

Sanford was no fool; he had to understand that a man like Matthew wouldn’t allow him any opportunity to pursue Stella.

If he persisted, the outcome could be disastrous.

Bennett sighed, overwhelmed by the recent events.

The association with the Lowell family had only a subtle influence on Stella’s life.

If pressed, she would remark that it simply meant there were a few more people who held her dear.

Stella sensed that the Lowells cared deeply for her and held her in high regard; however, her scant memories of them meant that her affection for them was somewhat reserved.

What truly delighted Stella was hearing from Earle that Bella’s health was improving and there was a strong possibility that her memory would fully return.

“I hope you can remember everything in the past!” Stella exclaimed.

Bella, visibly uplifted by the news, agreed earnestly, “Yes.

”

She yearned to escape the shadows of deceit that had clouded her life.

As they left the hospital, Stella’s phone rang-it was Miley on the other line, bubbling with excitement.

Before Stella could get a word in, Miley burst out, “Neville has a friend who recently opened a holiday resort.

How about you join us for a bit of relaxation?”

Recent events had been a whirlwind, leaving little time for leisurely outings.

Glancing at Bella, Stella felt a moment of hesitation.

Bella, overhearing the conversation, blinked encouragingly and mouthed, “Go ahead.

It’s fine.

”

Stella consented.

“When do we leave?”

Miley, thrilled, replied, “I’ll take care of the arrangements.

We can head out tonight.

After a pause, Miley added with a hint of mischief, “And don’t forget to bring Mr.

Clark along.

It’s rare we all get to gather.

”

With a resigned smile, Stella responded, “I’d love to, but it all depends on his availability.

”

Miley chuckled.

“If Mrs.

Clark personally invites him, how could he possibly refuse?”

Stella responded, “Don’t talk nonsense.

”

Miley teased her once more before the two ended the call.

Turning to Bella, Stella said, “I’m heading to a resort with Miley tonight.

Would you like to come?”

“No, thanks,” Bella declined, squeezing Stella’s hand gently.

“You’ve been through so much lately.

You deserve some rest.

Don’t worry about me; I can manage on my own.

”

Stella nodded in understanding.

After the driver took Bella home, Stella made her way to Prosperity Group to meet with Matthew.
