Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 13

Frederick put on an act of false affection. "Don't worry about me. I'll miss you, and I'll take good care of myself. You must be obedient when you get to the Blackwood Family. You can't be as willful as you were at home, understand?"

Of course, by "obedient," he meant she needed to follow his orders, and he was confident she understood that.

Securing such a massive wedding fund made the money he spent yesterday completely worth it. Right now, Frederick was absolutely thrilled, wishing Stella would just hurry up and leave the house.

Stella nodded, grabbing her suitcase nearby. "Larry, let's go."

Since Frederick dared to play games with her, he'd better wash his neck and wait. She would definitely make him regret it!

Obedient? That was impossible!

Ever since she left the Hawthorne Family at the age of ten, she hadn't had the slightest connection to the word "obedient." Whether it was Frederick's orders or the Blackwood Family's rules, she only ever listened to herself!

Larry shook his head slightly, signaling the bodyguards to take the girl’s luggage, and followed her out of the living room.

Frederick and Miranda pretended to see her off at the front gates, only turning back to head inside after watching Stella get into the car and drive off into the distance.

Once inside, the couple grabbed the property deeds and the bank card, absolutely beside themselves with glee.

"Stella is finally of some use. She came back at the perfect time and made us a fortune."

"Yes, honey. Once that dead man walking kicks the bucket, Stella will definitely inherit a lot of money. We'll go looking for her then."

They were happily plotting their future, completely unaware that not only would they never get a single cent, but they were also about to lose far more because of this.

...

At the Blackwood Manor.

After Larry brought Stella back, he led her inside to meet the matriarch.
