The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 The Owner Is Me

“What? That’s way too gross,” “Tessa said.

Stella raised an eyebrow. “What a shame Ethan doesn’t know anything. When he can’t buy it because of the real owner behind the scenes, he won’t just become a joke, Lillian will too.

Everyone already knew Ethan had wanted to buy Seaflats Cove before.

But this time, there was a twist. He was buying it for Lillian. That made Ethan even more desperate to get it. If he failed, he’d lose his reputation in every direction.

Lillian stirred up this mess because she wanted Seaflats Cove. But she hadn’t thought about who was behind it.

Tessa asked, “Wait, how can you be so sure they won’t be able to buy it?”

She wanted to see a joke. After all, Lillian and Ethan making fools of themselves was the kind of revenge anyone would want to watch

She just feared they might actually manage to buy it in the end.

“I heard he’s offering three times the market value. You really think the person behind Seaflats Cove won’t be tempted?”

Stella answered, “They won’t.”

“And how do you know that?”

“Because the owner is me.”

Tessa was left momentarily stunned.

The line went completely silent.

There was no need for Stella to hide anything from Tessa. Sooner or later, she’d find out anyway.

The silence lasted a full 30 seconds.

Then Tessa finally spoke. “I think there’s something wrong with my ears. What did you just say? Did I go deaf? Are you messing with me?”

She knew exactly what position Stella held in the Reed family.

There was no way she had the money to buy Seaflats Cove.

Forget about that little studio of hers that made a few hundred grand a year, even ten of those wouldn’t be enough to afford Seaflats Cove.

“Star, how many things are you hiding from me? I can’t believe I was worried the Reed family was starving your Tessa’s voice exploded over the phone.

She remembered how the Reed family had once cut off Stella’s cards. She had actually felt sorry for Stella and cursed the Reed family for being heartless.

Turns out, she was the pathetic one here. She was the one who needed handouts from her friend.

“This whole thing’s a long story.”

“Does it have to do with the family that raised you? Sounds like they treated you pretty well.

The only explanation Tessa could think of now was the family that raised Stella.

Tessa added, “You’re not just surviving. At this point, even ten Elians couldn’t do anything to yout

To give Stella something as valuable as Seallats Cove, the person behind her wasn’t someone ten Ethans could handle, maybe not even a humsdied.

They chatted on the phone for a while longer before Abraham walked in, and Stella ling up

His legs underneath were long and straight, his hair still wet, his eyes deep and sharp. He looked like a prince who had stepped straight out of a comic book.

Clearly, he wasn’t pleased she had disobeyed and stayed up

He glanced at the untouched glass of milk on the table, and the look in his eyes darkened even more.

“Tess called. I’m going to bed, Stella said, then crawled onto the bed

When she reached for the milk, bring you a warns one“

first, Abrahams snatched it away. “It’s cold. Get in bed. I’ll have someone

Stella wanted to say it was fine, she didn’t need milk anymore

But before she could speak, Abraham had already fent.
