The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 141

After leaving the hospital, Stella headed straight for the abandoned warehouse.

She was no saint. She hadn't tied Xander up just to provide her with five-star room and board.

This warehouse had been abandoned years ago when the Channing family relocated their factories.

Left unused year-round, it was infested with cobwebs, rats, and all sorts of creeping pests.

It had only been two short days!

But confined in this grim place, Xander's psychological defenses had completely shattered.

The moment Stella appeared, Xander looked at her as if she were a saving grace. "Stella, Stella, I was wrong! I know I messed up, just let me out!"

Unlike Beatrice and Valerie, Xander was different.

Though she was equally vain and arrogant, the moment she faced a stronger force, she folded instantly.

Over the past three years while Stella was at the Sinclair estate, Xander had constantly whispered in Ivy's ear.

She had urged Ivy to keep a tight leash on Julian!

Stella remembered the night that parasitic entity hijacked her body to go get the marriage certificate with Julian. It was Xander who had goaded Ivy into faking an illness to drag Julian away from Westside Heights!

A bodyguard brought over a chair, and Stella sat down in front of Xander.

Leaning back, she crossed her legs and offered a mocking smile. "How could you be wrong? For the past three years, you were The Channing Heiress. So dazzling, so untouchable!"

When Stella married into the Sinclair family, Beatrice had brought Xander back to the Channings.

From then on, Xander paraded herself as the legitimate daughter, attending high society events as she pleased.

Back when their grandparents were alive, such a thing was strictly forbidden!

They were never allowed to show their faces in public, deemed too embarrassing due to their illegitimate status.

"I was wrong! I don't want to be the Channing heiress anymore. I'm not, I'm not a Channing!"

In that moment, Xander didn't dare argue with Stella.

She just wanted out of this hellhole...

No one knew the sheer terror and despair she had felt last night when a snake slithered over her foot.

This place was damp, dark, and reeked of thick mold.

Right now, all she wanted was to escape...
