The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Cut Off Her Money? No Problem—She’s Got a Black Card!

Tessa watched as Stella’s phone screen lit up, went dark, and then lit up again.

In short, it just wouldn’t stop ringing.

Tessa couldn’t help but suggest, “Why don’t you just turn it off?”

Blocking the calls wasn’t working anymore—all the incoming numbers were unfamiliar. No need to guess who was behind it. Madam Susan must have been borrowing the housemaids’ phones to keep calling.

Stella took the advice and shut off her phone.

But Susan’s punishment came swiftly.

When it was time to pay for their meal, Stella turned her phone back on to scan the payment code, only to receive a notification: “Your bank card has been deactivated. Please choose another payment method.”

“They froze my card,” Stella replied.

Tessa’s lips twitched. “Because of Lillian? What kind of family treats their own daughter like this?”

Tessa scoffed. “I got it.” She pulled out her phone and paid.
