Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 49:.

Stella smiled, protect her? How could this man protect her? He hadn't even protected her in the past; how could

he protect her now?

“Stella, is someone looking for you?” said Emily as she and Stella chatted for a while. Then she smiled like she

was watching a good show. “Stella, you stole someone else’s husband - Miss Richard's mother is here to see

you!”

“Who stole whose husband? Make it clear.” Emily spoke angrily, immediately stopping the girl. “You talk too

much! It was the president’s idea to let Stella stay in the company and move her to the secretary's office! Did

you think Stella...?”

“All right! Emily, don’t talk!” Stella quickly intervened.

Emily had a very bad temper, especially when her friends were bullied. She would get angry and her temper

would rise faster than the others. If they argued like this, it would only make things worse. The more they

argued, the more people in the company would know.

Emily pursed her lips and said no more. Stella asked her to go back to her office and she went downstairs as

well.

As she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Isabella's figure in the distance. She was standing far away from the

company, waiting for her.

Since Stella was a child and had stayed with the Richard family, Isabella had never liked her because she was

David's daughter and not Isabella’s biological daughter.

However, since Stella had been there and Tristan had also protected her at times, Isabella had always been

angry with Stella, but she had nowhere to vent her anger!

“Isabella,” Stella greeted her politely.

When Stella was a little girl, David had asked her to call Isabella “Mom.” Stella had also called her “Mother.”

However, as Stella grew older and more sensible, she had stopped calling Isabella “Mother.”

Although Stella and Isabella did not like each other, unlike Sophia, they still maintained an outwardly polite

image, even though everyone knew that neither had a good opinion of the other!

“Yes,” Isabella answered slowly. “There's a coffee shop near the company. Let's go there and chat.” She looked

at Stella, and when she finished speaking, Stella knew Isabella was looking for her. Stella feared Isabella had

something to tell her.

But as reluctant as Stella was, Isabella was her eldest. In the end, she went with her.

It was business hours, so the cafeteria was empty. There weren't many people, just a few employees and people

packing coffee.

“Stella, don’t beat around the bush. You knowand we've known each other for a long time. | have something

to tell you.” They both ordered a cup of coffee and sat down.

Isabella spoke first. “I asked you to ctoday because | have something to tell you. It’s about my children,

Sophia and Tristan.”

Isabella cut to the chase and named them. As soon as Stella heard it, she was pretty sure what was going on.

Then he said, “Auntie, if you want to talk about Sophia and RK, then I think you'd better skip the subject directly!

Because | haven't had any problems with anyone since | cback from abroad!” That man... He was so

shameless!

As soon as she got close to that man, she would be haunted by all kinds of scandal and pain.

Isabella took a sip of her coffee with an unfriendly smile on her face. “Stella, even though I'm old, | can see

everything. | see your relationship clearly. | don’t care what people in your company say; | only care what Sophia

says!”.

“So | have only one request: now..... go back where you cfrom!” Isabella spoke angrily.

You could say that Sophia and Isabella were very similar to each other; they were really like mother and

daughter - the two were truly sculpted from the smold!

Stella sometimes thought about this and felt sad. She had been with the Richard family for so many years, why

didn’t they like her?

That day, two people asked her to leave X-City. At first, Stella had decided to leave X City and not return to

France. However, she ended up being taken to France...

Even if | wanted to go, | wouldn't go like that! Stella said with a smile, “Auntie! | don’t have children. No matter

where | want to go or where | want to stay, | don’t think you have any right to interfere with my decision or my

life! Where | want to stay is my choice.”

“The most important thing is that it doesn’t matter where | go. | don’t think it’s your place to tellanything, is

it?”

The meaning of Stella's words was that, wherever she was, it was none of Isabella’s business! Who gave her the

right to worry about her life? What right did this woman have to interfere in her life?

“You!” Seeing that Stella was not listening to her, Isabella naturally becvery angry! Her words becmore

and more unpleasant. “Stella! I'm your eldest, how can you talk tolike that? In the Richard family, when you

were young and your father was busy with his work, | was the one who took care of you!”

“Now you've grown up and becstrong, what's the point of staying in X-City like this? Surely RK has told you

that he and Sophia are getting married next month. If you stay here, not only will you destroy their relationship,

but you'll suffer too.”

Destroy your relationship?

“Auntie, | think you have smisunderstanding!” Stella looked at her and asked. “After | cback, | didn’t

even take the initiative to see Sophia - how could I destroy your relationship?”

“Auntie... | guess you don’t have much confidence in your daughter, do you? If | can affect your marriage, then it

means Sophia is not suitable to marry RK,” Stella said with a smile. Her words were very cold.

Isabella was so angry that her little face paled.

However, in the first place, the marriage between the two of them had nothing to do with Stella. Not to mention

that she had never been involved in it.

If Sophia and RK’s marriage fell apart, it would mean they weren't quite right for each other. What did that have

to do with her?

The relationship must be invisible. It was the sfor marriage...

After hearing this, Isabella looked very embarrassed. “Stella, | know you only cback to destroy the marriage

between Sophia and RK. you're really good!”

“Stella, are you happy to make your whole family anxious? At the styou're interfering in Sophia’s

wedding, you're also playing pranks on Tristan.”

As Isabella spoke, she also drew Tristan in.... Since they were at the Richards’ house, after learning that Tristan

liked Stella, Isabella’s opinion of Stella had worsened.

At first, Isabella didn’t like Stella because she wasn’t her biological daughter. But now, Tristan also liked her, his

nominal sister. After that, Isabella picked on Stella as much as she wanted! She wouldn't show Stella the

slightest mercy!

In short, whenever relations between the two children went bad, Isabella would blStella.

“Auntie, I've always treated Tristan like my brother!” Stella said. “I've never thought of interfering in anyone’s

life! What's more, | didn’t even know he was back!”.

When Stella was in France, it could be said that she did not keep in touch with many people. She had never told

the Richard family or anyone in X City that she was safe or that she was in France.

Of course, no one had contacted her, so there was no need to get back to her. It could be said that Stella had lost

touch with many people in X-City, including her family and the people she loved in the city. But at the end of the

day, no one cared about her.

Of course, this excluded her grandmother! At that time, when Stella was in France, she had only contacted her

grandmother! She often called her grandmother and told her that she was safe. But now, when she thought

about it ....

If RK had found her grandmother in the last six years and taken care of her during that time, she was sure that

her grandmother would have told her about her whereabouts! | mean, for the past few years, that man always

knew where she was. It was just that her grandmother stood between them.

Stella wasn’t sure if what she thought was true or not, but what she was sure of was that her grandmother would

have told the man.

Otherwise, how else would this man not have reacted when they met in Grandma's living room? On the other

hand, he was very calm!

“Stella,” Isabella opened her mouth, pulled the check out of her purse and placed it on the table, pushing it in

front of Stella.

“Stella, I'm a practical person. step back! I'll give you the money! | just expect you to leave Tristan and X City.

Don’t interfere with others in the city!” Stella looked at the number on the check. There were quite a few zeros...

So the price of leaving the person... no, of leaving the city was two million. Stella had not left the RK Group and

returned to France because of her financial conditions.

Because, if he left, he would have to look for another job. In France, it was not easy to find work. Besides, with

the rising cost of living, she not only had to support herself, but also Adrian.

That's why Stella always wanted to save up a year’s rent in France before leaving X City with Adrian.

If they went abroad, there would not be too much economic pressure on them. At least in France no one knew

her. She wouldn't have to worry about facing the couple about to get married every day, nor about being

discovered by that man someday. That's why Stella chose to stay abroad.

Isabella saw Stella's eyes fixed on the check and knew that Stella was staying in X City for financial reasons. This

time, she was very anxious to see Stella leave!
