Chapter 69
Stella glanced at her and then nonchalantly looked away.
“Ms. Cameron, are you here to see Keen and Haynie? Rachel’s voice was gentle. “They’re not here at the moment. Would you like me to help you find them?”
Stella replied indifferently. “No need.” With that, Stella moved past her, heading downstairs.
The music room was just below, where she planned to meet Marvin
Rachel hurried after her. “Ms. Cameron, could we talk?”
“I don’t think there’s anything to talk about between you and me, Ms. Pearce, Stella said, her voice calm, not even turning her head.
“Ms. Cameron, I need to talk to you about Haynie.“K
“There’s nothing to discuss Stella said, turning the comer and heading for the stairs. “Whatever’s between you two, I don’t care.” “Ms Cameron,” Rachel suddenly grabbed Stella’s wrist, “five minutes. That’s all I’m asking”
“Ms. Pearce, I’ve made myself clear. There’s nothing for us to talk about.” Stella’s expression remained indifferent as she gently withdrew her hand
As Stella was about to leave, Rachel instinctively tried to block her path. However, her hurried steps threw her off balance. She missed it and fell down the stairs‘ “Ah!“”
Blood began to seep from Rachel, staining the pristine marble floor, a shocking sight.
Stella hadn’t anticipated this turn of events and paused, slightly startled. “Rachel!”
At that moment, a small figure rushed to Rachel, looking anxious. “Rachel, are you okay?”
“Im fine, Rachel smiled faintly. “Keen, please don’t tell your dad about this.”
Keen’s eyes were brimming with tears as he looked at Rachel lying on the floor. He suddenly lifted his head, glaring at Stella at the top of the stairs. “Why did you push Rachel?”
Stellas brow furrowed as she slowly descended the stairs. But before she could get close to Rachel, Keen quickly stepped forward, blocking Stella’s path, his face full of suspicion.
His gaze was as if looking at a notorious villain. “What are you doing? I won’t let you hurt Rachel anymore!”
Stella halted abruptly.
A deep, calm voice sounded behind when Stella was about to speak. “Rachel, what happened?“%
A handsome man in a dark suit had just arrived. Seeing Rachel at the bottom of the stairs, Haynes‘ eyes narrowed sharply. He stepped forward quickly, scooping Rachel into his arms, his voice firm. “Call an ambulancel”
The light above the emergency room glowed a harsh red in the hospital
Haynes strikingly handsome face was tense, looking grim and resolute.
Jasper, who had rushed over after hearing the news, wasted no time pointing an accusatory finger at Stella. “Stella, you pushed Rachel down the stairs, didn’t you? You vile woman!”
“You won’t stop until Rachel is truly hurt, will you? How could there be someone as disgusting and cruel as you? Have you no shame?” Stella met Jasper’s hate–filled gaze with a cold stare. It might have seemed she was Jasper’s mortal enemy to a stranger. “Talking about shamelessness, Mr. Wilkinson, youd be second to none. Compared to you, I’m not in the same league.“%
Jasper was nearly apoplectic with rage, but Stella remained unfazed, her demeanor serene, which fueled Jasper’s fury.
He spat out, “Today, you’ll pay for what you did to Rachel!“)
Stella remained composed, showing not a hint of fear?
Jasper cursed, “Blaming others for your failures, like not winning over the person you love, and taking it out on someone else. That’s cowardly and classless, truly beneath contempt ”
