Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 583

Stella smiled. "Normally, no. But because you ran into me, you can. My name is Stella Hawthorne—just call me Stella from now on.

Calling me Ms. Hawthorne sounds too distant. We lived and ate together for a week; we're practically friends, aren't we?"

Help those in an emergency, but don't just hand out free money. Support those in trouble, but not the lazy.

It wasn't that she didn't have two million, nor was she unwilling to lend it.

Since Serena had a medical degree, she was fully capable of working to pay off the bank debt.

Lending her the money for the emergency could count as a salary advance, but she needed to understand that it wasn't a free handout—it had to be earned through hard work.

Stella wanted to help because she had seen Serena's solid character back in North Myanor.

Since she had helped her once, doing it again wasn't a big deal. She just couldn't stand the thought of Serena throwing her life away on some creepy older man.

A young girl fresh out of college had her whole life ahead of her; she shouldn't waste it on a situation like that.

Stella didn't just help anyone. If it had been Rhoda Ford or Yvonne Jeter, she wouldn't have lifted a finger.

Stella actually saw her as a friend.

To her, Stella truly was the brightest star in the sky—and the brightest one in her heart.

Once they walked in, Stella gave them a rundown of Serena's predicament.

After explaining the situation, she laid out her plan.
