The Heiress With Seven Secret Identies (Stella Shaw) novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Duty Beyond Love

“Who is it?”

Stella frowned slightly. Tess hardly ever disturbed her during her time off.

“Nolan Lane’s legal team.”

Tess hadn’t wanted to bother Stella, but Nolan had ruined her engagement. Some compensation was only fair.

“Why do they want to see me?” Stella asked, confused.

The man was dead. What could they want?

“Many of Nolan’s illegal businesses will be seized entirely.”

Tess paused. “But he also owned legitimate income. Before he came to Azure Peak to take you, he signed papers giving you all his assets.”

Stella’s mouth dropped open in shock. She couldn’t understand why he would do that.

“Boss, I say take it. If we don’t, it’ll just go to his government. You could take it and donate it to kids who can’t afford treatment. That’s what you always do.”

Nolan had gotten what he deserved for endangering so many people. He’d thought he was a romantic hero, but he was just a crazy man.

“Don’t feel guilty about taking it. Foreign powers took plenty from us before. What you’re doing is completely legal and fair,” Tess added.

She

grew

anxious when Stella didn’t reply. “Boss, are we taking the inheritance?”

“Yes. Cash it all out and donate it to children with serious illnesses and homeless orphans.”

Nolan’s businesses had destroyed countless families. The money should go to those who’d

suffered.

“Got it.”

Tess hung up quickly, afraid Stella might change her mind.

The Shaw family noticed Stella’s tense expression. Frederick stepped closer, his eyes full of

worry.

“Stella, what’s wrong?”

She could have lived an easy life, but she couldn’t waste the training the country had given her. She had to give back.

Sylvie sat beside her and took her hand. “When do you leave?”

“In two weeks.”

“Does Elias know?”

Stella nodded. “He knows, and he supports me.”

“Stella, you don’t have to push yourself so hard…”

“Auntie,” Stella interrupted with a smile. “I received a lot of government support over the years to learn everything I know.

If the country needs me, I’ll be there.”

Her team was developing a new cancer drug. They needed her, and she couldn’t stay away.

“What about your classes at Azure Peak University?”

“I don’t have many. I scheduled them all on the same day.”

“Alright. Do what you must. We’re all behind you. If you ever need help, ask your brothers. Never hesitate to ask family.”

Kenneth handed her a piece of cake. “Don’t be shy with us, Stella.”

She smiled. “I won’t.”

The whole family wore happy smiles.

Stella stayed for dinner before heading back.

“Dad.”

Jasper looked up from his papers, a gentle smile on his face. “You’re home.”
