Chapter 184
Stella had just recovered from her cough when, upon Yvonne’s offer, began choking on her breath again. Yvonne’s thoughts moved at an extremely quick pace, and she was unable to keep up. She saw the reaction on Stella’s face and knew that she was unable to accept it. She smiled and said, “Alright, alright. I was just joking!”
Stella’s face flushed bright red. She instinctively wanted to say something, but nothing came to mind. She simply stood where she was, looking lost.
Yvonne found her posture adorable and couldn’t help but reach out to pinch her cheeks. “Why are you so easy to bully?”
She sighed. “It’s precisely because you’re easy to bully that that man Weston can have his way with you…”
All along, she had been trying to find ways to help Stella, but her ideas had always been trampled by her family members when she shared her thoughts with them.
Weston was simply too powerful, and there was hardly any way she could interfere. Lucas and the rest had many ongoing collaborations with Weston. A tiny movement from her was all it would take to trigger huge consequences.
Yvonne’s initial recklessness tapered off upon hearing their thorough analysis of the situation. What was left was a deep sense of helplessness of being unable to help Stella as much as she wanted.
Seeing the guilt on Yvonne’s face, Stella smiled comfortingly at her.
Yvonne looked at her for a moment before saying, “Oh yes, do you have anything on tonight?” Stella hesitated to answer as she recalled Weston saying he would be fetching her from work today.
