The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 146 Gone for Good

Stella still held a grudge against Louis. Yesterday had nearly scared her to death. With the look Abraham had on his face back then, if she’d made one wrong move, she would’ve ended up shredded into pieces with nothing left behind.

And now, hearing that Abraham had actually gotten upset over it again made Louis‘ chest tighten. So let’s call yesterday really was about that ring?

Louis looked at Stella, his expression twisted with conflicted restraint. “And you didn’t tell him I might’ve grabbed the wrong

onc?

“How was I supposed to know whether you took the wrong one or not?

All she’d been focused on at the time was saving her own life. As for what would happen to Louis, that was way beyond her control

Louis‘ breathing quickened. “Where’s the ring?”

“He threw it out. Tossed it in the trash.”

Back when Abraham threw it in the trash. Stella had instinctively wanted to pick it up and return it to Louis.

But she never got the chance–Abraham had stayed in his office the whole time after that.

There was no way she’d dared fish through the trash with him still there. It wasn’t like she had a death wish or anything.

Louis sucked in a sharp breath. “You didn’t pick it back up?”

“I was too scared!”

Louis was speechless. Too scared? If Stella didn’t dare do it in front of Abraham, who on earth would? Probably no one.

“Who changed the trash?”

That thing was worth close to 1.3 million, and it just got tossed like that? Sure, it wasn’t a huge deal for him, but still–he didn’t exactly have cash to throw around. And that ring had belonged to Alex.
