Chapter 554
Stella was locked up for the entire duration of the funeral.
On the last day, it was Michael who came to unlock the door.
“Stella, must you be so stubborn? As long as you keep this a secret, you won’t have to suffer.”
Michael was the youngest son born to an aging Grandma and Grandpa Sealey. Naturally, he was spoiled.
Although only ten years older than Stella, she had always respected him, believing that he was a decent gentleman. Unexpectedly, this was what he did to Diana.
To make matters worse, the woman he had an affair with was her roommate.
Stella closed her eyes. Her lips were chapped from dehydration. With a raspy voice, she said, “Why did you treat her that way?”
“Our relationship is not what you think.”
He suddenly knelt in front of her and raised her face. “Your look totally different from your parents, yet you are just as stubborn.”
He relaxed his gaze. “That part is indeed a bit like a Sealey.”
“I am a Sealey!”
She pushed his hands away weakly. “How is Roger?”
“Now you are thinking of him.” He smiled. “Don’t worry. He is alright. As long as you keep your mouth shut, we are all still a family, eh?”
Stella slowly clenched her fists into balls.
“Impossible. You will get exposed one day.”
“One day, but not today or tomorrow.” He stood up. “Stella, I am your elder, so there is something I must tell you. Although you are an adult now, you are still incapable of handling the assets your parents left you. Therefore, I shall keep it for now.”
Her eyes widened. “No way! Father’s will clearly states that…”
“Is that so? Read it again carefully.” He suddenly took out a document.
