The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 567 The Baby of the Family

After all these years, what high–society event didn’t want Abraham to attend?

And yet, Abraham rarely showed up to any of them.

But today, not only did he come, he even brought Stella Marie with him. That alone said everything about how much respect the host of this event commanded in Abraham’s eyes.

Feeling the weight of everyone’s gaze on her, Stella’s cheeks flushed.

“C–Cut it out,” she whispered.

“If I’m not allowed to eat, then fine–just let me go already.”

She mumbled under her breath.

So stingy. If he doesn’t want me to eat it, then I won’t.

Abraham said, “Come on. Let’s go meet the host.”

“Okay,” Stella replied sweetly.

Abraham gave Marie a glance, and she quickly followed. While Abraham wasn’t paying attention, Stella slipped over to her.

In a hushed voice, she asked, “Who exactly is this Mr. Bogden? Why’d my brother bring us along?”

“Not just us–Mom’s here too,” Marie replied.

Stella blinked. “Huh? Where?”

Marie said, “If nothing unexpected happened, she’s probably with Mr. Bogden right now.”

She actually came?

Even Mom was here… That meant this Dawson family, who used to be so–so, had gone through some serious changes.

Stella looked at Marie in shock.

Marie saw right through her thoughts and said, “The Dawson family’s second son regained power.”

“Regained power?” Stella echoed.

That was huge.

If Marie was putting it that way, then the Dawson family must’ve paid a steep price and really secured some serious influence.

Of course, if he didn’t have that kind of power, Abraham would never give him the time of day.

Marie added, “He’s the governor of Lindt now.”

Everything instantly clicked. That’s why Abraham was giving this Mr. Bogden so much attention.

Before, they never even interacted. Abraham couldn’t even be bothered to attend these sorts of events.

Abraham turned around and saw Stella and Marie’s heads practically glued together.

He walked back two steps and pulled Stella over to his side.

“Ah! What are you doing?!”

“You don’t need to know all that.”

“…Huh?”

Marie heard Abraham and let out a disdainful snort. “Might as well wrap her in bubble wrap for life.”

Spoiled rotten.

Unlike Abraham, Marie felt there were things Stella needed to know–needed to experience.

After all, their family wasn’t simple. And as the future mistress of two major families, she couldn’t stay a sheltered flower forever.

The butler respectfully led Abraham and his group through a winding path until they reached Mr. Bogden’s study.

“Mr. Abraham, the master has been expecting you.”

Abraham gave a slight nod and turned to glance at Abel.

Abel understood immediately and handed over the prepared gift box to the butler. “A gift from our young master to Mr. Bogden.”

“Thank you.”

The butler accepted it with reverence.

As the doors to the study opened, Abraham looked at Marie. “You and Abel wait here.”

Marie nodded. “Got it.”

She’d figured they were just here to make an appearance anyway.

Abraham reached out and took Stella’s cool hand in his, then led her inside.

As the doors shut behind them-

Marie couldn’t help but click her tongue. “He says she’s not a delicate little flower, but here he is parading her around in public.”

Chapter 567 The Baby of the Family

If she really wasn’t a delicate flower, then why was he hiding so much from her?

Honestly, in Marie’s eyes, Abraham was overprotective of Stella to the extreme.

Abel scratched his nose awkwardly, not daring to respond. Who had the guts to gossip about Abraham?

Seeing him go silent, Marie pressed on. “Hey, tell me what exactly happened in Rivermount between Stella and the Keene and Reed families?”

Now this was something Marie was dying to know.

They always said Stella held her own against those two families, but Marie never bought it.

Stella was the most sheltered one in the family–if anything, she’d be the one getting bullied.

First she wants gossip on Abraham, now it’s Stella?

Marie leaned in. “Come on, tell me!”

Abel let out a cough.

He couldn’t hold out under Marie’s pestering and eventually spilled the details of what went down between Stella and Lilian.

Everything–before and after they arrived in Rivermount.

Before? That was two years ago, when Lilian got beaten so badly she fled abroad, plus the fallout from that incident.

Marie’s jaw dropped when she heard Stella shoved Lilian’s head underwater and even wrecked Ethan.

“Wait–are you serious?!”

She couldn’t believe it.

Her Stella? That fierce?

If anyone dared mess with her, she’d take them down one by one? If they came in pairs, she’d beat them both at once?

Just from Abel’s storytelling, even without being there, Marie could feel how earth–shattering it must’ve been.
