The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1589
Stella couldn’t understand. Stiffly, she walked up to Karen, asking her, “Aunt, what are you laughing about?”
Karen didn’t hide her smile at all. Instead, she raised her hand and gently touched Stella’s hair, saying, “Tm laughing because my little Stella has finally escaped this demon.”
She seemed to pity Stella very much. With gentle movements, she stroked Stella’s cheek and said, “You’ve been through hell because of Eric all these years, and I really feel sorry for you. So when he died, even though it pained me too, I still felt happy for you. After all, your escape from nightmares matters more
Karen was very kind to Stella, giving her money and love without reservation. Right after Stella joined the Sinclair pack, Karen transferred all the money that Thomas had given her to Stella’s account and even gave her several houses.
Karen treated Eric well too, in Stella’s eyes. She always cared for him and protected him, even when Eric treated her with harsh words and violence. Karen had no complaints and even showed love for Eric.
But when Stella wasn’t there, Eric would often angrily accuse Karen of being two-faced. Without waiting for Karen to explain, Thomas would slap Eric, and then Eric would say nothing, just
Rick the chair and leave the Sinclair pack…

KICK
Many times, when the three of them had conflicts, Stella would be upstairs, and if she accidentally saw them, Karen would use her eyes to signal her to leave.
Stella felt like she was just a guest, and it was better not to get involved in their family affairs. So she would obediently keep her distance.
As their conflicts intensified, Stella developed a habit of not getting close or eavesdropping, and she never knew the reasons behind their fights.
But in Stella’s impression, Karen was indeed a very gentle and kind stepmother. At least, she never said anything bad about Eric in front of her. She always praised the pup for being smart. Even with the se rvants around her, she never said anything horrible about him.
Stella thought that maybe this good person was genuinely
happy for her, just like Andre. After all, Karen and Andre were her relatives, they had blood ties, and naturally, they loved her more than Eric, who had hurt them…
Stella thought about it and didn’t ask any more questions. She just looked away and glanced at the urn that had been placed in the black car. Eric had turned to ashes, and even with all the grievances, it was now over.
However, strange feelings surged within her heart as Stella
touched her chest.
She felt suffocated, as if all the hatred she held toward Eric was gone. Moreover, it felt like she had lost the purpose of being.
As Stella couldn’t hold back these strange feelings, she could only let them consume her and drag herself into the abyss, into hell…
Karen saw that Stella didn’t suspect anything further, so she slowly put away her smile. The taste of victory was reflected in her eyes…
Eric was finally dead. There would be no one to belittle her, no one to point fingers at her as a homewrecker, and no one to oppose her. And her son would be able to inherit the Sinclair pack without any competition.
