Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 550

Jared had just left when an unexpected visitor arrived—Stella.

She found her way to the intensive care unit and was surprised to see me standing outside. After a brief moment of hesitation, she approached. Her eyes were fixed on the situation inside the ward. "I didn't expect to find you here, Chloe."

"Who did you think it would be?" I intentionally countered, "Surprised? Didn't see that coming, did you? You wanted to hurt me, but Trinity was the one who ended up here. I always manage to turn danger into safety."

Stella chuckled casually, "Chloe, you are indeed fortunate in this regard. But how did you manage to offend so many people? You’re always being chased and hunted."

Her words sounded light and detached, as if she were an uninvolved bystander. Yet, every time I recalled her ruthless actions, a shiver ran down my spine. I vividly remembered the eerie smile she flashed when she turned around outside my house.

Her calm demeanor now made her even more formidable.

"Well. I wonder how I keep attracting unwanted attention. This time, innocents got hurt, and it might not be so easy to deal with this situation." I alluded to the Huffman family.

"Have you ever considered what this is all for?" Stella's words carried a hint of provocation as she tested me.

“It sounds like you know what it's for." My gaze shifted from Trinity to Stella. "So, you keep showing up to establish connections with me?"

Stella chuckled, "I just don't want to see you always in the dark, manipulated like a pawn."

"Isn't that a form of value?" I said calmly, "Being a bit confused is a rare quality. Being too shrewd is not that good either. It's not scary to be treated as a pawn; what's scary is being used as a pawn and still jumping around, not realizing you've been played."

I added a dose of harsh truth, confident that with this statement, she would inevitably think of Liora.

The more confident I appeared, the more uneasy she became.

After saying this, I turned to leave the intensive care unit. I needed to find a doctor and inquire about Trinity's current blood indicators. I was worried about the continuous increase in toxins in her blood.
