Chapter 439 A Dangerous Alliance

Of course she was on edge all the time–anyone would be.

“All right, all right, I’m flying out tonight. Don’t be scared, okay?”

Stella kept her tone as gentle as possible.

Tessa sniffled. “You better not be lying to me.”

“I’m not. Promise.”

They stayed on the phone for a while longer, with Stella giving her all kinds of reassurances that nothing would go wrong. Only then did Tessa finally hang up.

She was genuinely traumatized.

She’d never seen anything like that in her life. Back when Stella’s world first collapsed, she’d been even more scared than Tessa was now.

A familiar presence suddenly enveloped her. Stella jumped.

She

spun around and stared right into a pair of deep, dark eyes. She clutched her chest. “Jeez, you scared me half to death.”

Abraham raised an eyebrow. “Badmouthing Victor again?”

Wait, he heard that?

So when exactly did he walk in?

She didn’t answer. Instead, she changed the subject. “Did Louis leave?”

Abraham made a soft grunt of acknowledgment.

Stella narrowed her eyes. “Did something happen with the Wilde family?”

Why else would Louis show up in such a rush, asking if Sharon had been involved in that whole conflict?

She couldn’t think of any explanation other than something major going down with the Wildes.

Abraham said, “Don’t concern yourself with that.”

Stella went quiet. So something had happened. No wonder Louis had been so anxious today.

After a moment, she said, “Sharon didn’t cause any trouble that day. Don’t go dragging people in just because.”

Abraham gave her a curious look. “Oh?”

“She was holding Jasmine. Tried to help calm things down.”

It looked like she was breaking things up, sure. But was she, really? Because the way she pulled, it turned into Jasmine getting hit one–sidedly.

Stella was about to say something else about Jasmine when Abraham’s phone rang.

He kissed her cheek and got up to take the call.

Left alone, Stella was just settling in again when a housekeeper came to announce, “Ms. Stella, there’s a Miss Sutton here to see you.”

Sutton? Ethan’s sister.

To be honest, if not for her ties to Ethan, Stella might’ve even gotten along with Sutton. There was potential for friendship there.

Sutton was sharp and efficient–very much a woman who knew what she wanted.

If she had been born a man, Ethan probably wouldn’t have stood a chance at inheriting the Keene family empire.

But now that they’d brought Horgan back into the picture, maybe the Keene inheritance game had changed entirely.

Stella didn’t like most of the Keene family, but she didn’t have a particular problem with Sutton. Mostly because they rarely interacted.

“Take her to the tea room.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

The housekeeper nodded and left.

Stella got up and changed before heading down.

As soon as she entered the tea room, she saw Sutton examining one of her teacups. The girl had a sleek, chin–length haircut and was dressed in a black blazer over a long skirt.

She looked… sharp.

Actually–cool.

Stella had never thought to describe a woman as “cool.” Not even Eddie’s sister, Evie, who always chased that gender–neutral aesthetic, had given her that impression.

But Sutton–yeah, she was cool. The name sounded like it belonged to a beauty, and she definitely was one. Just in a completely different way.
