Chapter 497

Chapter 496:

Because Emily knew that Tristan was concerned about Stella, she thought about it for a while and decided to call him to see if there might be a solution.

Emily said, “Stella went home today. When she just returned to the dormitory, I saw that she seemed very unhappy, so I asked her what was going on. She said she was getting married. I thought you knew about this and wanted to call to ask you what’s happening.”

“I am busy today, so I didn’t go home. I don’t know if it’s true. I’ll go home later and ask what’s going on. I’ll call you back.”

“Beep... beep...” Before Emily could finish her words, the other side of the phone had already hung up.

When Emily came out of the bathroom, she found that Stella was still sullen and depressed.

Emily didn’t want to see her good friend unhappy about this, so she suggested, “Stella, since you’re in a bad mood today, why don’t we go to the bar? Let’s drink and relieve our sorrows!”

Stella remained silent.

She seldom went to places like bars; in fact, she had never been there.

Especially since when they were with the Richard family, Tristan had always been there. Thus, Stella rarely ventured to such places, and Tristan would not allow it...

“But it’s not safe to go out at such a late hour,” Stella said worriedly.

When she was with the Richard family, she had always been a good girl. It was even rare for her to return home late.

Feel the thrill at g aln ov el s . com Emily didn’t listen to her at all and helped Stella change her clothes.

Then, when Stella went into the bathroom, Emily sent a message to Damien, asking him to meet them at the college gate. After sending it, Emily quickly deleted the text message, fearing that Stella would check her phone.

Reading Emily’s text message, Damien immediately changed his clothes and walked to the college gate.

“All right, let’s go,” he said.

“All right, let’s go,” Emily echoed.

Both of them were absent-minded along the way. Emily thought to herself, “Don’t let the cat out of the bag, or I will strangle him to death.”

“Alas... Stella, where are you going at such a late hour?”

They had just walked a short distance when they ran into Damien!

Stella turned her head to look at Emily. Emily quickly shook her head, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with her.

“What do you mean by Stella? Call me senior! It’s so late. You should go back quickly.”

Stella looked at Damien.

“If you want to go anywhere, I will go with you. It’s late; I am going to protect you!” Damien insisted. Anyway, he wasn’t going to leave.

Emily secretly gave Damien a thumbs-up.

Stella had no choice but to let Damien follow them. All three of them had their thoughts along the way.

Emily didn’t call Tristan but instead called Damien because she knew it wasn’t a big deal to call Damien. If she called Tristan, it would be a different matter altogether.

On the other side, the Richard family...

“Stella is getting married. Why don’t I know about this? Do you think you can hide it from me?”

As soon as Tristan returned, his gentle demeanor was overshadowed by an unpleasant tension. Looking at the three people in front of him, he appeared calm on the surface, but the atmosphere was tense.

The first to speak was Isabella. “Tristan, how can you talk to your elders like this? Apologize to your uncle quickly!”

“It’s okay. I know Tristan is also concerned about Stella,” David waved his hand dismissively.

Sophia also approached and added, “Brother, Mom and Dad made the decision today. They haven’t had time to tell you.”

“Shut up...”

“Tristan, how can you talk to your sister like that?”

“Stella is only a sophomore this year. Isn’t it too early for you to let her get married now? We are brother and sister. Stella is the youngest, yet you let her marry first. You know I like Stella very much.”

A sinister and angry expression appeared on Tristan’s face.

“Tristan, it’s impossible for you two to be together.”

“We are not biological siblings. Why can’t we be together without blood relations?” Tristan looked displeased.

David immediately interrupted him, saying, “Okay, stop arguing. It’s settled.”

“Uncle, you can’t treat her like this. She is your biological daughter.”

“I am her father. I can make the decision. Since ancient times, children’s marriages have always been decided by their elders. I won’t harm her.”

“Uncle, you can’t do this.”

“I am tired. I will go to bed first. You should also go to sleep early.”

Watching Isabella and David go upstairs to rest, Sophia got up and sat beside Tristan.

“Brother, I am your biological sister, and I’m about to get engaged to James. You can’t watch your biological sister marry a stranger, can you?” Sophia murmured.

“Sophia, I didn’t say I would let you marry a stranger, nor can I say I would let Stella marry one.”

“Brother, what if that affects our family?”

“Sophia, I know you don’t like Stella, but you can’t blame it on her,” Tristan replied.

“Ha ha...”

Sophia sneered and said, “Brother, I think you are obsessed with Stella. She can do no wrong in your eyes. Even if she kills someone, you would think she is right and stand by her side.”
