Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Did I Read Your Mind?

The date and timestamp in Yulia and Stella’s chat history was a coincidence. They seemed to have chatted on the day of the party, where Miles had danced with Gabriella.

Did Stella see me dancing with Gabriella from Yulia’s phone?

Stelle once told Miles that she had learned about Gabriella’s existence from his mother. Therefore, without further ado, Miles made an international call to his mother, Adele. “Mom, did you bring up Gabriella to Stella?”

Even though Adele had told Stella not to inform Miles about their meeting, she did not feel the need to lie when her son confronted her.

“That divorced woman? Yes, I met with her before, and I told her about Gabriella. After that, I heard that she left you.”

Miles lost all interest in the call after hearing that, hanging up very soon.

By now, he had almost pieced the puzzle of the timeline. Kevin told Adele about Gabriella Nolan, whom he had been using to get rid of Yvonne North for Jasmine’s sake. Since then, whenever Adele was unhappy with Miles’s girl, she would use Gabriella to drive a wedge and ruin the relationship. This time, Adele had used Gabriella’s photo in her attack again, mostly because she thought that Stella was similar to Gabriella.

The meeting between Adele and Stella led to a misunderstanding—Stella had mistakenly thought of herself as Gabriella’s replacement, and she promptly broke up with Miles. On the same day, Miles overheard Kevin’s phone conversation, during which Kevin had talked about Stella sleeping with other men.

All these events are not a coincidence! Kevin Moore…

Miles flicked his cigarette butt out of the car window. Before this, I never saw the need to deal with him. But things are different now.

“President Grant, look, my cousin even allowed me to pursue you. How would you like me to do it?” Yulia was bold in her approach and attempted to flirt with him.

“I don’t care,” he fired back, and his thoughts floated elsewhere, paying no attention to her at all.

After Stella was back in Murdough, she busied herself with work at the store. When she finally had the time to rest, she started planning her finances and extra income. Matthew is right! It is hard to grow your wealth by hustling, and investment is the easier way.

Aside from opening a store, she wanted to allocate the rest of her savings to another portfolio. Perhaps growing up in an entrepreneurial family had greatly influenced her, for she was adept at managing her finances. Still, she had no clue about stocks and did not know what investment to make.

Every time she encountered a problem, she would bring it to Matthew because he was a reliable figure in her life.

“I’m only good at technical stuff. To be honest, I’m not an expert in investing. However, Miles is an expert in this field. Why don’t you consult him?” Matthew trod carefully.
