Dressed in a pale blue suit, Sophia was as elegant as ever.

“Grandma, don’t be sad,” Serena said, though she wasn’t sure how to comfort her. “Things will work out.”

Sophia looked at the clear–eyed young woman before her with affection.

No matter what happened, Stella was always so kind.

“I’m so sorry for all this, Stella. You’re divorced from Dylan, and yet we’re still leaning on you.”

Sophia genuinely hated losing a granddaughter–in–law as wonderful as Stella.

Her grandson was just a fool.

Serena snapped back to the present, her eyes fixed on the hospital building.

Jacob had just been discharged, and now Dylan’s antics had landed him right back in.

Leave it to Dylan.

“Chris, wait for me here.”

Chris smiled. “Of course, Ms. Hale.”

Serena got out of the car and headed straight for Jacob’s room, empty–handed.

Serena managed a small smile. “Grandma, my divorce from Dylan is one thing. My relationship with you and Grandpa is another. That doesn’t change. You know how stubborn Dylan is. He’s living in a world of Eliana’s lies, and once he’s set on something, it’s hard to change his mind.”

She knew all about Dylan’s obstinacy.

Jacob’s voice was heavy with concern. “Stella, I’m afraid all your hard work over the years will be for nothing. It’s not fair to you.

“You did everything to build this family up, and now he’s ready to tear it all down for that woman. He’s just handing his uncle Rowan a golden opportunity.”

He paused, his expression grim. “He almost died because of Rowan’s schemes once. You’d think he’d have learned his lesson.”

Jacob’s greatest fear was a repeat of that disaster.

Serena knew all too well how close the Ashford family had come to ruin back then.

In fact, that was why she was here.

“Grandpa, Grandma, I won’t let that happen again,” Stella declared. “I actually came today to discuss something with you…”

After she laid out her plan, the elderly couple stared at her, a mixture of astonishment and deep gi their eyes.

“Stella, you’re a good girl,” Jacob said, his voice thick with emotion. “We trust you. But that Eliana couldn’t have done all this alone. If you’re going to investigate, you should take a good look at Beatrice.”

Beatrice was Dylan’s mother.

The thought of his absentee son and his foolish grandson made Jacob’s chest tighten.

“This is a heavy burden, Stella, but I’m counting on you. You’re our only hope now.”

Jacob was immensely grateful that Stella would help the Ashfords after everything that had happened.

“Jacob, let’s just go to the countryside,” Sophia suggested, weary of the drama.

Out of sight, out of mind. Sophia couldn’t stand to even look at that foolish grandson of theirs.

But Jacob shook his head. “No. We’ll stay at the mansion and help Stella from the shadows.”

“No, Grandpa, Grandma, that’s too dangerous,” Stella interjected. “Staying at the mansion is a risk, especially since you oppose Dylan’s marriage to Eliana. It will only put you in more danger.”

She couldn’t let them be exposed.

Eliana had eyes and ears in that house, like Pierre, and Stella still hadn’t figured out his true motives.

“What danger?” a cold voice asked from the doorway. It was Dylan.
