Sure, blood might run thicker than water–but Stella had been adopted by the Dawson family too, and she’d managed to live peacefully with everyone there, after all.

Stella said, “It was probably different; I was just a baby when I went to them.”

Tessa nodded. “True. A tiny baby’s all soft and adorable–who could possibly have bad intentions toward a baby?

But there was more to it.

Tessa figured, “It takes kindness to earn kindness: you must’ve treated them well too.”

As for Stella and Lillian turning against each other, that all started because Lillian had wanted hey dead from the beginning.

And the mess between Stella and the Reed family–well, they had been the ones to blame her without reason or evidence.

After clashing enough times, the Reed family had developed a bias against Stella, their biological daughter.

Ever since she’d been brought back, they’d never shown her much genuine affection.

And Stella, who’d been doted on by the Dawson family since she was little, naturally didn’t have much patience for them.

Come on, let’s go eat”

Stella didn’t want to talk about the Reed family anymore. She stood up, grabbed her bag, and headed out.

Tessa didn’t bring them up again either, but she did mention Ethan. “Ethan’s been tearing the city apart trying to find out who owns Verdant Villa, I’d love to see his face if he ever finds out it’s you.”

People who didn’t know were completely clueless.

And the ones who did–watching Ethan and the Reed family scramble around like that–were basically watching a giant joke

unfold.

Stella said, “Don’t tell him; he’s dumb as a rock.”

Tessa burst out laughing. “Honestly? Ethan really does seem like a fool”

The two of them headed out to eat, and just as they stepped out the door, Susan arrived shortly after. Kimmy tried to call

Stelia to let her know.

But Stella had put her phone on silent, and no matter how many times Kimmy tried, the calls just wouldn’t go through.

Meanwhile, over at the restaurant, Tessa was slicing her steak and chatting. “Mr. Louis has had Sharon locked up at home for the past few days–hasn’t even let her step outside.”
