The Heiress With Seven Secret Identies (Stella Shaw) novel Chapter 230

Elias thought. They had never shown up in all these years. Why did they appear suddenly?

Are they targeting Stella?

“Boss, what do you mean?”

“Go confirm Kael’s identity. Is he connected to the wealthiest family in Vosshire?”

“Alright.”

Tess left.

Elias frowned deeply. Stella gently smoothed the crease between his brows.

“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”

“Okay.”

Just then, Elias‘ phone rang.

The words on the other end made Elias frown, and Stella’s heart hung in the balance.

“A case of mistaken identity? You actually buy that excuse? Someone risked their life to chase me, and you think a casual lie can sweep this under the rug? Since when have I been that easy to persuade?”

Elias‘ voice was cold as ancient ice.

Seeing Stella’s worried gaze, he quickly softened, touched her face tenderly, and gave her a reassuring smile.

“Mr. Cross, my apologies.”

“I won’t accept a settlement. If you can’t handle this, pass it to your superior.”

With that, Elias hung up the phone directly.

If it were just the richest man in Vosshire, he wouldn’t care at all.

But now it seemed the other side held considerable power.

Could it be who he thought it was?

“Elias, don’t be angry.”

“Did I scare you?”

Stella shook her head and hugged his arm, leaning against his shoulder.

“No.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

“Okay.”

Anyone who dared to target his people in Azure Peak City would not escape him.

Not even the mysterious Corbin clan.

Elias held her tighter and pressed a gentle kiss on her smooth, fair forehead, his eyes full of

affection.

The phone rang again. It was Gideon.

“Mr. Cross, the student from Mrs. Cross‘ class is named Shane Corbin. His background is completely hidden.”

They both knew that such a blank record almost always meant a concealed identity.

“I’ll dig up the information as soon as possible.”

“Good.”

Elias thought for a moment and spoke softly, “Find out what they want with Stella.”

“Understood, Mr. Cross.”

Stella looked up at him. “What did he say?”

“No extra clues yet. We only know that student also has the last name Corbin. His name is

Shane.”

“Then let it go for now. Next time we meet, I’ll make them talk.”

Elias shook his head. “Stella, don’t confront them head–on.”

Stella nodded. She was no longer alone. She had a lover and family, so she had to be more careful.

“What do you think they want?”

Stella frowned slightly. “To ask me for medical treatment? Or to get the research reports in my hands?”

She could think of nothing else worth the other side risking so much.

After all, in Azure Peak City, she was protected not only by her family but also by powerful figures.

The fact that they still dared to force her to go with them openly meant they feared no one.

“Whatever it is, I’ll protect you.”

Elias held her and stroked her back gently to calm her. “Don’t think about it.”

“I’m not thinking about that. I’m thinking about you.”

At her words, his restless heart was instantly soothed.

Elias lifted her chin, lowered his head, and captured her lips, kissing her tenderly.

Tess spent the whole afternoon investigating Kael’s information and didn’t have time to eat.

As she passed a convenience store, she got a sandwich and an order of fries.

Just as she was about to take a bite, she saw a Rolls–Royce outside through the glass window.

She froze for a second. The car looked familiar.

Frederick stepped out in a tailored suit, his eyes fixed straight on her.

Why is he here?

Tess‘ fries slipped from her hand. She quickly grabbed a napkin and wiped her mouth.

Why did this man show up?

She refused to believe it was a coincidence.

She lowered her head and kept eating.

Moments later, the seat beside her was pulled out. A familiar cold fragrance drifted over, and her heartbeat sped up for no reason.

Frederick handed her a cup of milk.

“Avoiding me?”
