Chapter 238 Sean’s Demand
Shane fell awkwardly silent.
“Sean, say something!”

Finished.
Sean paid no attention to the others. He kept his eyes fixed on Stella. “Stella Shaw. Let’s talk alone.”
“No,” Elias refused immediately.
Everyone else looked equally disapproving.
Sean frowned. “I won’t hurt her.”
“But I have no obligation to agree to this,” Stella spoke calmly.
Unused to being rejected, Sean grew irritable. “Some things can’t be discussed in front of outsiders.”
“Then I’m an outsider too.”
Sean quickly blocked her path as she tried to leave. “Stella, I’ll donate one billion dollars to your Shaw Foundation for just one chance to speak with you.”
Stella paused. Free charity money was not something to turn down.
“Stella, I’ll donate it for you. You don’t have to do anything you don’t like,” Frederick said.
“Yeah, me too,” Kenneth added.
Leo raised his hand. “Count me in.”
“Stella, I’ll give you anything you want. Never force yourself for anything.” Elias stroked her head gently.
Stella glanced at them. She truly wasn’t uncomfortable at all.
She could see the worry in their eyes. They feared Sean might hurt her, even knowing who he
was.
Seeing she still hesitated, Sean said slowly, “He can come with you.”
He meant Leo.
Shane was shocked that his brother had compromised. The sun must be rising from the west.

Stella’s eyes flickered. “Still donating the billion?”
“Yes.”
She turned to hold Elias‘ hand. “Elias, Frederick, Kenneth, Tess. We’ll talk just over in that corner. Leo will stay with me. You’ll all be able to see us, right?”
Elias saw she was set on going and pinched her check fondly. Such a little money–lover.
“I don’t care which clan you’re from. If you hurt her, I’ll bring the entire Cross Group down on you.”
“The Shaw Group too.” Frederick stepped forward, cold aura radiating off him.
“I swear on my life, I won’t let a single hair on Stella’s head be harmed,” Shane said.
He immediately met several icy glares and looked away. These men were just as intimidating as his brother, like walking ice machines.
Sean, Stella, and Leo moved to the corner of the classroom.
“Let me introduce myself.”
“No need. You’re the grandson of my grandmother’s brother.”
Sean wasn’t surprised. He even nodded in approval.
“I’m here to find the Corbin clan’s next heir for my grandfather.”
Stella and Leo exchanged a look.
Leo frowned confusedly. “You can’t be asking Stella, can you?”
“That is my intention.”
“I’m not interested.”
“Wait.”
Sean blocked her again as she tried to leave.
“The Corbin fortune is far more than a billion. It’s countless billions.”
“It’s not like you’re handing it straight to me.”
Stella couldn’t believe they actually wanted her to inherit the family wealth. That day’s chase

must have been a test. But she knew nothing was ever that simple.
“All you have to do is pass the trials.”
“I’m not interested. I’m already too busy.”
“Stella.”
“Could you consider me instead?” Leo asked, feeling slighted.
“You’re not qualified.”
Leo was speechless.

I’m the top surgeon at Azure Medical Center and a well–known heir in Azure Peak. How aml not qualified?

“Stella, I have the medicine you’ve been researching. I can even give you the formulas at a low price. Don’t you want to help patients suffering from incurable diseases? Return to the Corbins, and a whole new world will open to you. I have all the rare herbs you need. I have the lost medical books too.”
Stella paused, confused. “Aren’t you already the Corbin heir? Why pick me?”
Wealthy clans usually fought bloody wars over inheritance. This felt like a dream. She’d even pinched herself earlier to make sure she was awake.
“I… I’m not fit for it.” Sean hesitated.
Stella knew he wasn’t telling the whole truth.
“The Corbins have so many members. Why me?”
“The Corbin head is chosen by ability,” Sean said, his beautiful eyes locked on hers. “You’re a direct descendant. You have the right.”
“Stella, you’re just that good. A distant relative doesn’t matter,” Leo said, finally understanding.
But the Corbins were dangerously secretive. Many must be eyeing the position. Sending Stella in sounded like using her as bait to clear Sean’s path, only to be cast aside later.
