Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 236

Stella recalled the incident. "At the time, I was so repulsed by the stench of her clothes—it was that exact sickening sweetness. I couldn't stand it, and I was already pissed off that she had stolen my room, so I threw all her clothes down to the first floor.

She screamed at me, calling me uncultured trailer trash who didn't know anything about luxury. She bragged that it was a top-tier, ultra-exclusive fragrance that money couldn't even buy."

"Looks like we need to pay her a visit," Julius said. "We might just get an unexpected lead."

"Today is Friday, so tomorrow is the weekend. I'll swing by the Hawthorne house tomorrow and get it out of her."

Chloe attended university in the capital and usually went home for the weekends.

"Just lure her out somewhere. I have ways to make her talk." He knew Stella hated going back to that house and dealing with Frederick, Miranda, and Chloe.

"It's fine. Going back to ruin their day sounds fun. It'll remind them that I still exist. Plus, I want to search her room to see if she has any of the perfume left over."

"I'll go with you."

"No need," she rejected instantly. "If you come along, Chloe will just start acting all pathetic and desperate for your attention.

The second she starts trying to flirt with you, I'm going to throw up. If I go alone, her guard will be down, and I'll easily get the truth out of her."

Chloe had always looked down on her for living in the countryside, acting entirely superior.

If Stella asked her about the perfume, Chloe would undoubtedly take the bait, mock her for being a naive country girl, and start bragging about how rare and elite her fragrance was.

That would be the easiest way to extract the information.

"Alright. I know you won't let them walk all over you. But call me the second anything goes wrong."

Considering how every one of her previous visits had ended with the Hawthorne family in absolute shambles, he wasn't exactly worried for her safety.

She terrorized them. If anything, Frederick and Miranda were the ones who needed security.
