Chapter 1455 [Eleven Jewell]
Stella turned toward the voice and saw Ariel standing there in a light beige dress, holding a gift box. Unlike Dahlia and Irene, who always exuded extravagance, Ariel’s appearance was elegantly understated. Even though she had gained a little weight, she still radiated grace.
The last time Stella and Ariel met was at the jewelry exhibition over half a year ago. In her memory, Ariel had fair skin and a healthy complexion. But now, looking at her, she seemed to have lost some weight, and her spirit did not seem as vibrant as it did half a year ago.
With a smile, Stella nodded politely. “Hello, Mrs. Moore.”
Marshall subtly furrowed his brows, as he was annoyed.” Why did you come along? I’m leaving after a few words.”
“I want to talk to Ms. Saun too,” Ariel replied.
Marshall’s frown deepened, and he stood there in silence.
Ariel turned to Stella and spoke warmly. “Ms. Saun, I remember you helping Marshall when he was injured a while ago. Initially, I wanted to come and thank you personally, but Marshall didn’t allow it. He feared that you might feel uncomfortable. However, the incident is still in the back of my mind. I felt that I had to thank you personally.”
Stella understood and said, “There’s no need to worry, Mrs. Moore. Mr. Moore is my friend, and friends help each other out. Besides, I wasn’t the first to lend a hand that day. It was a friend of mine. Mr. Moore has already expressed his gratitude with a gift. He has helped me a lot in previous
legal matters as well. You really don’t have to do anything.”
Ariel continued, “Marshall is my only son. You saved him, which means you saved me too. I feel indebted for this favor. I thought about adopting you as my goddaughter and having Marshall protect you as a brother. But I didn’t realize you were the long-lost heiress of the Saun family. It feels a little embarrassing to bring this up.”
