The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 The Only Way to Handle Trashy Cheaters? A Savage Queen

Back at Kingston Heights.

The moment Stella stepped into the elevator lobby, she spotted Tessa sitting on the couch. When Tessa saw her, she immediately stood up and walked over, pulling Stella into a hug.

“My dear, men aren’t worth a damn. Give me a day, and I’ll introduce you to someone way hotter—tall, handsome, the whole package.”

Stella simply replied, “Okay.”

Tessa had been all set to comfort her, but now she was at a loss. Wait a minute—wasn’t her reaction a little too calm?

Stepping back, Tessa gave Stella a once-over. When she noticed bloodstains on Stella’s coat, her expression changed. “Whoa, wait—are you hurt? Where?”

Stella glanced down at her beige coat. Sure enough, there were a few drops of blood. “It’s not mine.”

Tessa’s voice wavered slightly. “Then whose is it?”

“Probably Lillian’s or Ethan’s.”

“…Huh?”

“I beat them up.”

Tessa’s eyebrows twitched violently. She had just run into Ethan and Lillian at the hospital earlier this morning, and now, before noon, Stella had already given them a thorough beating.

She couldn’t help but give Stella a thumbs-up. “Being hotheaded might stir up trouble, but when it comes to dealing with scumbags, your attitude is exactly what’s needed.”

Forget just Stella—even Tessa was fired up.

She had worried Stella would come home crying after seeing Lillian.

But not only had Stella not cried, she had handed them both a beating.
