Chapter 1252
She didn’t dare trust anyone anymore.
And Michael, who had never once appeared during that entire ordeal, had also been quietly removed from the list of people she could trust.
Stella had once been someone capable of loving deeply.
She had suddenly realized that feelings could be the most deceptive thing in the world.
Love.
Family.
Every kind of bond she had once believed in suddenly felt unreliable.
No one could probably understand just how hopeless that felt.
When love between two people fell apart, you could always walk away.
You could even become enemies.
But when the bond between family shattered…
What were you supposed to do with that?
David sighed.
“Mr. Hogarth said that if you’re still angry, then you can inherit the entire Hogarth family fortune someday. He won’t leave Aaron a cent.”
“That’s not what I want.”
“But if you control the Hogarth family, you can deal with Aaron however you want.”
Stella fell silent.
So did Remi.
Deal with Aaron?
Was David serious?
With a man like Aaron, who would dare?
Stella sniffed and stared at David in disbelief.
David continued,
“Mr. Hogarth was given critical-condition notices twice because of you. After finally learning that you’re still alive, all he wants now is to see you.”
Stella froze.
Chapter 1252
Her heart trembled at the mention of Michael receiving two critical-condition notices.
She knew about that.
Felix had mentioned it to her before.
But at the time, she hadn’t cared about anything.
Whatever anyone told her had gone in one ear and out the other.
She hadn’t even had the energy to respond.
Now that David brought it up again, however, an uncomfortable pressure swelled in her chest.
David spent a long time speaking on Michael’s behalf.
But Stella still couldn’t bring herself to trust him completely.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Remi finally said,
“I think going with your father’s people is probably the safest option right now.”
Stella’s expression stiffened.
She turned toward Remi.
“Did you forget something?”
“What?”
“Aaron was raised and taught by Michael.”
Remi fell silent.
Right.
That was true.
Was that why Stella couldn’t even bring herself to trust her own father?
“But I don’t think you really have a choice anymore,” Remi said.
She genuinely wasn’t confident she could get Stella away from Michael’s people.
If they hadn’t found this place yet, maybe she could have managed it.
Especially because…
Before David and his men appeared, Remi hadn’t received so much as a hint that they were coming.
They had simply appeared out of nowhere.

That alone showed that Michael’s people were far more capable than the others.
Against people like this, Remi really didn’t like her chances.
Stella’s expression stiffened again.
