The Heiress With Seven Secret Identities
Chapter 235 Conspiracy
Jasper thought. Could they want Stella for her skills?
But the Corbin family should have no shortage of talented people.
Stella shrugged and smiled. “It’s not like they’re here to make me inherit a billion–dollar fortune.”

Jasper felt only heartache for her.
Finished:
He wondered how much she had been through to stay this calm when being hunted by a powerful clan.
“They’ll probably come back. I’ll just wait. Worrying now won’t help.” Stella packed the photo album as she spoke. “Dad, can I keep this one?”
It held photos from Jasper and Nicole’s graduation trip.
“Of course.”
Jasper patted her head fondly.
“Stella, no matter what they want, be careful. Take bodyguards with you for a while.”
As if remembering something, Jasper went to his room and brought out a jewelry box.
A purple gemstone bracelet lay inside.
“Stella, wear this for me. No matter where you are, I can find you and bring you home.”
Stella nodded and held out her wrist. “Okay. Put it on me, Dad.”
Jasper smiled tenderly and fastened the bracelet himself.
“Get some rest. I’m going out for a while.”
He had no idea what the Corbins wanted, but he would eliminate the threat. He would not let his daughter suffer even a scratch.
“Where are you going?”
“To your uncle’s house.”
“I’ll go with you.”

When they arrived at Mark’s home and explained their reason for coming, he stared at them in shock for a long time.
“Stella, the head of their family is looking for you?”
Stella nodded slightly. “It seems so.”
Mark frowned, deep in thought.
“Dad, what’s wrong?” Leo noticed his father’s grim expression and tensed up.
“Mark, do you know something?” Jasper’s heart also jumped into his throat.
“Mom was a lady from the mysterious Corbin medical clan,” Mark said.
Everyone in the living room froze.
“Maybe it’s in their blood. Leo and Stella both have great medical talent.”
The room fell silent. Nothing could be heard but their breathing and Mark’s voice.
He paused and went on. “Mom was also a brilliant healer. She ran a business instead to hide her identity.”
“Mark, why did she keep it a secret?”
Mark shook his head. “I don’t know. Before she died, she only told me this and warned me not to mess with the Corbins. I didn’t think much of it… but maybe they want Stella for her talent, to take her back to the clan.”
“Why would they take her back? She’s my daughter. Who do they think they are?” Jasper grew agitated. Fear made him squeeze Stella’s hand tightly.
Mark looked up at them. “It’s only a guess.”
“Dad, don’t get upset. I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying with you.”
“Uncle Jasper, don’t worry. Even the secretive Corbins can’t just take Stella. That would mean going against the four great families,” Leo said.
Jasper nodded slowly. “Mark, is there anything else you know?”
Mark shook his head. “That’s all.”
“If Mom told us to stay away, there must have been a reason. No matter why they’re after Stella

now, I won’t let them hurt her.” Jasper’s eyes burned with resolve.
On the way home, Jasper still looked worried.
“Dad, don’t overthink it.”
They had no idea what the Corbins wanted, so worrying was useless.
“They didn’t come for Mark or me–only you. That’s strange. And their way of ‘inviting‘ you was no different from kidnapping.”
“Dad, please don’t worry.” Stella remained surprisingly calm.
“Get a good sleep tonight. Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.”
She froze for a second, then smiled and nodded.
She slept peacefully through the night.
The next day, Stella got a call from Iris.
“Stella, do you have a minute?”
Her hoarse voice made Stella blink. “Did you catch a cold?”
“No.”
Stella immediately guessed what was going on, and her cheeks warmed.
“Stella, do you have any miracle cure? I need to get up. We’re having our post–wedding family reception today, and I’ll be so embarrassed if I miss it.”
Stella couldn’t help teasing. “You’re just getting out of bed after three days?”
“Not exactly. The bed broke, so I had to.”
Stella was speechless.
