Chapter 361
When Dylan saw the message from Liam and the photos he sent his heart twisted painfully.
In Liam’s eyes, he was the bad guy.
The emotional wounds Eliana and he had inflicted on Liam would be hard to heal
Seeing Stella sitting with Liam, sharing a meal and smiling so gently, Dylan felt a wave of relief wash over him. As long as she’s alright, I can finally breathe easy, he thought.
“Wow, Mr. Ashford, Ms. Hale’s family is loaded! That marble table is all natural and super expensive, and just look at the place. Every square foot must cost a fortune, Miles said, his eyes wide with amazement.
Liam had accidentally shown a corner of the table in the photo, and that little glimpse was enough to reveal just how wealthy Serena really was.
Dylan narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze on Miles. “Do you remember how the Ashford family got its startup capital?
“It was supposedly sent over by a guy named Mr. Quinn, but Stella was the one who made the introduction. Honestly, I’m starting to suspect the money didn’t come from Mr. Quinn at all. It was probably Stella’s.
“She cared about my pride and didn’t want anyone saying I only built the Ashford family because of her
Dylan thought to himself, ‘Man, I really am a jerk. No matter how skilled I was, without that initial funding, nobody would have trusted my tech. Who in their right mind would casually invest 120 million in a stranger?
“Whoa…” Miles was completely floored. “Mr. Ashford, now that you mention it, it does seem fishy. Our startup capital was 120 million, and you barely knew Mr. Quinn.
“You only talked on the phone, and he just handed over that kind of money like it was nothing.
“Come on, there’s no way things are that easy. Ms. Hale must’ve been supporting you from behind the scenes.
Miles thought, “This damn lucky guy.
‘Seriously, he must’ve saved the world or something to end up with someone as incredible as Stella.
His jealousy was off the charts.
As they talked, Miles suddenly had another thought. “Mr. Ashford, have you ever wondered why Mrs. Ashford agreed to let you marry Ms. Hale?
“She always saw how capable Stella was and knew she was special but just to protect Eliana’s status, she stole Stella’s achievements and handed them to Eliana. Honestly, her actions just don’t add up.”
Beatrice doted on Eliana even more than her own flesh and blood.
“I’m starting to think maybe Eliana has something on Mrs. Ashford, and that’s why she’s helping her so much,” Miles said, lowering his voice.
Dylan still had no clue why his mom was so dead set on helping Eliana, no matter what.
But Dylan was already done with his mom. Nothing she did now could ever change his mind.
Things at the company were finally starting to settle down.
Dylan cast Miles a calm look. “Still haven’t found out where Stells staying?”

Bikes shook his head. Tve turned Kingsbridge upside down, bug still can’t figure out where Ms. Hale is living?
Dytom just modded. Got it. Keep an eye on Eliana’s side.”
Miles thought of Elara and suddenly remembered something else. “Mr. Ashford, Eliana is absolutely shameless.

“She had someone steal Ms. Scott’s design drafts, and now she’s snatched the fabric factory Ms. Hale and her partners were working with. The ones backing Eliana are from the Lennox family.”
