Matthew sat down behind his desk, his expression expectant. “Go on.”
“From what we can gather, no one knows this person’s true identity. All professional inquiries and transactions are handled through a dedicated, anonymous social media account.”
“Another social media front?” Matthew’s pupils contracted slightly, his eyes darkened. It seemed every talented painter or designer these days was operating from behind a digital veil.
“That’s correct. We traced the account, but the real user information is thoroughly encrypted and shielded. Tracing the actual person behind it is… very difficult,” Andy explained, sounding somewhat helpless.
This was the second time they’d encountered someone so deliberately untraceable. The first had been the designer Tylin.
The connection struck Andy, and his eyes widened slightly in realization. “Mr. Stewart, are you suggesting that…? It couldn’t be,
could it?”
He hadn’t made the connection before, but it was now clear Matthew suspected Arabella might be Stella.
Matthew glanced at him. “If the trail has gone cold, drop it for now.”
It had struck him as a notable coincidence, and Arabella’s seemingly transparent nature sometimes felt a bit too perfectly constructed. But without concrete evidence, pursuing it further was pointless.
If it really was her, a misstep would reveal the truth eventually.
“Understood, sir.” Not daring to press further, Andy acknowledged and left the office.
Leaning back in his chair, Matthew’s gaze returned to the painting on his wall. Was it really just a coincidence?
Back at the pharmaceutical company.
“Arabella, mind if I come up for a few minutes?” Lucas asked, reluctant to part ways.
Even though he’d planned this outing with her, Matthew had ended up dominating most of it. The frustration was still simmering.
Arabella studied him. Seeing he was serious, she agreed. “Sure.”
“Great!” Lucas brightened, happily unbuckling his seatbelt. Just as he was about to get out, his phone rang.
He glanced at the screen and answered. “Hey, Uncle.”
Hank’s voice came through, sounding stern. “Get down to the academy. Now.”
“Is something wrong?” Lucas asked, his reluctance obvious.
“We have a prospective client–a student who’s specifically requested you as their private coach. They want to meet you in person before finalizing the schedule,” Hank explained.
Lucas frowned. “Can’t you just handle it? Schedule the sessions like usual.”
“They’re insisting on meeting the coach first. It’s a condition,” Hank replied, his tone brooking no argument.

“Do I have to go right this second?” Lucas grumbled internally, not wanting to leave at all.

“Enough questions,” Hank said, his irritation clear. “Get here promptly, or I’ll be calling your parents to come collect you and discuss your commitment to this program.”
The threat of being hauled back home instantly made Lucas compliant. “Okay, okay. I’m on my way.”
Hanging up, he sighed dejectedly at Arabella. “Sorry, change of plans. I can’t come up after all.”
“It’s fine. Another time,” Arabella said with an understanding smile.
“Alright then,” Lucas muttered, his mood deflated.
Arabella got out of the car and waved. “See you next time.”
“Okay.” Lucas gestured for her to go ahead. “You go on up. I’ll wait till you’re inside.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.”
Watching her walk into the building, Lucas let out a long, frustrated sigh. A rare chance to spend a little more time with her, ruined.
But defying his uncle wasn’t an option. The last thing he wanted was to be sent back to his parents‘ house in Connecticut.
Resigned, he started the car and pulled away from the curb.
Upstairs, in the office.
‘Ms. Hamilton, you’re back,” Chloe said, walking in. “A package arrived for you earlier.”
“A package?” Arabella asked, slightly puzzled. She wasn’t expecting anything. “Who’s it from?”

The readers' comments on the novel: True Heiress Returns to Her Unemployed Rich Family (Arabella)
I started the novel with great interest. In the beginning the storyline was captivating. Then I feel that the more the story advances, the twists were no longer great. Moreover I don't like Arabella s personality, cold, distant......
