The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Stella said. “As for the wedding, don’t even bother discussing it with me. We’re completely done.”

“You…”

Stella continued, “And as for Rianne, you can forget about that too. If you have the ability, then go and bring her back yourself to treat Lillian. You’re so rich, so capable–do you really need to go through me?”
