Chapter 172: Thrown out

"I am sorry," he said and left in a hurry. Stella felt as though her world had crashed to nothing

He can definitely stop her from getting a house in the city. Where would she go? For the first time, she looked to her brother and two cousins for help; she even looked to her mother but
