Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 124 Making Ravioli

Audrey was startled and could not speak for a long time. Finally, she asked, “Then, have you heard of the Grant Family’s matter?”

“The Grant Family’s matter? What about it?” Stella was at a loss. In her heart, she felt that she was rather disconnected from Miles because she knew very little about his background, and thus she felt that she could not be his support.

Audrey glanced at Matthew, who was still closing his eyes, waiting for the results of the surgery. He was quite far away, so she assumed that he could not hear, and began to tell Stella about the famous Grant Family.

It turned out that Adele was not Miles’ biological mother. Instead, she was his distant relative. After Miles’ mother passed away, Adele ascended to the position of Mrs. Grant. At first, Miles’ father was wealthy, but after the death of Miles’ mother, he was unmotivated to carry on with his businesses and was going bust. With the help of Adele, he started from scratch by using his original resources and contacts to start new businesses. Because Adele married into the Grant Family with assets, she shared half of the shares with Miles’ father. Besides, Miles Conglomerate also contained the couple’s common assets, but only about twenty percent, so Miles still had absolute power over it. Thus, there was a self-interest reason why Miles had acquired so many companies. Of course, the tricks up Adele’s sleeves were not only limited to assets, but also Miles’ marriage as well; she wanted to find Miles a woman she felt was reliable.

Upon hearing that, Stella finally understood why Adele repeatedly came looking for her. It turned out that there was a motive behind it. She also finally knew why Miles had the secretary secretly bring her in the last time; he was probably afraid that someone would see her. After all, he was a very high-key man in Hollowcrest and had never considered what others thought. Perhaps Adele had put pressure on him when she found out. Therefore, he acted a lot more low-key in Murdough as he might be afraid that the news would spread to her and cause trouble for Stella. After all, he knew that Adele had kept making trouble for the latter.

Happiness rose in Stella’s heart as she finally knew the reasons why he treated her so. He cares about me, which is why he acted so low-key. But why didn’t he tell me? Is it because he does not want me to know that he is facing so much pressure?

She was so overjoyed that her lips could not help but curve into a smile. When Audrey saw Stella’s expression, she was rather taken aback. How could Stella still smile when her son was injured?

“What are you smiling about?” Audrey asked. This question sounded abrupt; it was as if she was condemning Stella’s rudeness.

“Oh, no, I was smiling about Adele. We’re not in the imperial era anymore, and she’s not a queen mother either. Don’t tell me she’s serious about wanting to introduce someone from her own family to Miles in order to preserve her family’s glory and wealth,” Stella deliberately said in a casual tone.

“You know, that’s exactly what she thinks. Who can understand what the big families do? The money in their hands is not worth hundreds of thousands only, but tens of billions! Money can definitely drive people crazy. We talk about this casually because we have less money. The richer the person, the more they care about money; not to mention, President Grant is not her own son.” Audrey also seemed to be uncertain about Adele’s thoughts, but her analysis was quite on point. She added, “Especially now that Old Mr. Grant is extremely ill and President Grant is far away in Solaria, the only one around is Adele!”

now it seemed that it was not unfounded. After all, Adele’s inherent indifference to Miles was unable to escape Stella. However, their relationship was quite similar to her and Yulia’s. She and Yulia were cousins as well, so it seemed that this kind of matter regarding ascending

Audrey did not mean to sound rude, but the latter really couldn’t imagine the kind of battles rich families had. For example, she could not imagine that a rich man could have several wives and over a dozen children. Even though her family was considered relatively rich, it could only be considered well-off, and it was still far from the truly rich. Nevertheless, Stella felt embarrassed by

Many people liked to buy and eat premade, frozen ravioli, and most felt that it was too bothersome to make them from scratch. However, Stella did not feel this way, because she felt that a family could gather around the dinner table while making homemade ravioli, chatting about all kinds of topics. To her,
