The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 809 Just Make the Damn Call

Stella immediately thought no way. Those two couldn’t even get through a phone call without arguing. How were they supposed to help each other?

Abraham glanced at her. “Not on good terms? You really don’t understand anything, do you?”

Stella blinked. Huh?

She’d thought she understood plenty, but the way Abraham said it made her second–guess everything. Maybe she really didn’t understand after all.

Abraham took a call and left right after.

After a moment’s thought, Stella decided to ring Marie. But Marie told her to call Eddie instead -and have him call Evie.

Stella was speechless.

“Eddie told me Evie’s in Yalvoria and that she could help protect Rianne. But when I asked him to call his sister, he refused! Then I asked my husband, and he told me to call you. Now you’re telling me to call Eddie again! It’s gone in one big circle!”

Marie was stunned. “Wait, all that just to make one call? That’s… kind of a lot.”

“You know Evie and I don’t get along,” Marie muttered.

“Abraham said you two aren’t on bad terms,” Stella replied.

Marie went silent. Not on bad terms? Please.

More accurately, she and that woman had never gotten along–not once. What did he mean “no issues“?

Still, hearing Stella sound so pitiful softened her. “Fine, I’ll call her. You want her to protect Rianne, right?”

“Yes,” Stella said quickly.

Marie sighed. “Just how many close friends do you have?”

One Tessa had already been enough to drive her crazy… and now there was Rianne too.

Honestly, Marie couldn’t shake the feeling this was another disaster waiting to happen.
