The Heiress With Seven Secret Identies (Stella Shaw) novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Unexpected Arrest at the Doorstep

Stella froze for a second. Before she could react, she was pushed out of the bathroom.

After a moment, she called out to the closed door. “I’m a doctor–I’ve seen everything. No need to be shy!”

Elias sighed in exasperation. Why is she being so bold so early in the morning?

When he went downstairs, Stella was waiting for him at the dining table.

“Here,” she said, handing him a cup. “I made you this calming drink to cool down.”

As she spoke, their eyes met instinctively. It felt like an electric current connected them.

He sipped the drink, his deep eyes filled with affection as he stared at her without blinking.

In the end, Stella looked away first. What do you do when your boyfriend’s gaze is so intense it feels like he wants to devour you?

“I’m’moving to my dad’s place this afternoon,” she said.

“I’ll come back to take you,” Elias replied.

She nodded slightly and took a sip of milk.

“Mr. Cross, this is the gift list from your dad,” Quinn said, handing over a piece of paper.

Elias glanced at it briefly. “He really does think I’m a wish–granting pool.”

“Is there a holiday coming up?” Stella asked.

“My dad’s turning seventy soon. Will you come with me to his birthday party?”

Stella nodded with a smile. “What does your dad like? What gift should I get him?”

“I’ll handle the gift,” Elias said.

“Would that be okay?”

“I’m so thoughtful–he’ll definitely praise me.”

Stella laughed involuntarily at his words. She glanced at the list.

“A bottle of heart–saving pills tops everything else,” she read aloud, blinking. “Your dad wants heart–saving pills?”

“Don’t pay attention to him. He’s asking for the impossible,” Elias said.

“Um… I have some. I’ll give him a bottle,” Stella offered.

Elias

put down his knife and fork in surprise. Quinn also looked shocked. This isn’t candy–a whole bottle? Is Miss Shaw serious?

“Miss Shaw, what Mr. Aaron Cross wants is the heart–saving pills made by the renowned pharmacist Master Celeste. Not one pill–a whole bottle,” Quinn couldn’t help but remind her, fearing she’d give the wrong gift.

“I know–a bottle of Master Celeste’s heart–saving pills,” Stella said casually.

Quinn’s eyes lit up with excitement. “A bottle? Really a whole bottle?”

The Cross family wasn’t short of money, but even a single pill was extremely hard to get.

“Not enough?” Stella blinked. “Then I’ll give him five bottles.”

Quinn was stunned. “Miss Shaw, you’re not joking?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?”

“Quinn, you can step down now,” Elias said.

Quinn was over the moon but understood Elias‘ hint. As he left, he took the maids who had made breakfast with him.

A look of surprise crossed Elias‘ handsome face. “Stella, do you know Master Celeste?”

“Guess,” she said with a playful smile.

Elias had a hunch, but he couldn’t believe it.

Does she just know him? Or is she Master Celeste herself?

Ring…

Stella’s eyes lit up when she saw the caller ID.

“Stella, are you moving here today?” Jasper asked.

“Yes,” she replied.

“I will come pick you up,” he said.

“No need–Elias is taking me,” Stella said,

Jasper understood. “I’ll cook your favorite dishes.”

“Great,” she smiled.

“See you this afternoon.”

“Mm.”

After hanging up, Stella finished her milk. “I’m going back to pack my things. See you this afternoon.”

She hummed a tune and left happily.

Stella didn’t have much luggage–after all, Jasper’s place had everything she needed.

That afternoon, Elias drove her to Jasper’s villa.

As soon as she got out of the car, Stella’s excitement turned to nervousness. When she saw police cars through the window, she hurried over.

“Dad!”

Jasper spun around, his eyes turning red involuntarily. “Stella.”

“Mr. Moore, please cooperate with our investigation,” a police officer said.

Stella pushed through the crowd, her voice choking. “Dad!”

“Don’t scare my daughter. I’ll go with you once I calm her down,” Jasper said firmly.
