The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1602

Chapter 1602
But just by looking at Karen’s eyes, Stella knew she hadn’t guessed wrong. Karen was the one who made the first move.
Realizing this was even worse than knowing Karen had used Eric’s men to make things worse for Stella. Because that night, whether Eric had coincidentally come up with this idea or not, her own aunt would have done the same thing in Eric’s name.
After all, as long as they bribed the thugs and made them blame Eric as the mastermind, even if Eric had a hundred mouths, he wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly.
So at that time, when Stella woke up, Karen didn’t care about her well-being first. Instead, she kept pressing her, wanting to know who was behind it all. She claimed it was for revenge, but in reality, she wanted to destroy Eric…
If Stella hadn’t been blinded by family ties and hatred for Eric at that time, she should have thought carefully and not become a pawn.
Stella sneered inwardly, but remained calm as she questioned Karen.
“Tell me, when did you start using me? Was it from the moment you brought me to the Sinclair pack, or when you manipulated me
to get close to Eric…
Karen stared at Stella’s red eyes and suddenly felt like she had awakened, seeing right through everything. Facing Stella like this, it seemed pointless to hide anymore because she could feel that after today, her niece would never care for her as before.
Thinking this, Karen reached out and grabbed Stella’s hand, gently releasing her grip on her dress and placing Stella’s hand in her own palm. She then covered it with her other hand.
“Stella, Auntie brought you to the Sinclair pack because I felt sorry for you, losing both your parents. I wanted you to have a good life with me, but I never expected Eric to transfer her hatred towards me and Andre onto you.”
If Karen had raised Stella just to use her, she wouldn’t have sent Andre away beforehand and kept him by her side while using Stella as a shield. It was because she had no such intention that Karen didn’t set any traps in that regard.
Stella could already distinguish between truth and lies, so she didn’t question Karen’s words but continued to look up at her.
“Then when did you start using me?”
Since when?
Since Eric repeatedly mocked her, insulted her, and hated her with
cold words, Karen wished for Eric’s death!
But with Eric’s grandfather guarding him at that time, she couldn’t
touch Eric.
Moreover, Eric was clever and quickly sensed something was wrong. Several times, she tried to push Eric into the water from behind, but he cleverly avoided it.
Coincidentally, she saw little Stella chasing after Eric, wanting him
to teach her medical skills. She felt that Eric was much kinder to Stella than to her, so she thought if she could transfer Eric’s hatred for her onto Stella, she would have to suffer less.
She then told Thomas how pitiful and helpless Stella was, how she was constantly bullied by Eric. Thomas heard it and saw it, and he started favoring Stella more.
Eric, being young at the time, probably felt that his father’s love had been taken away, which made him uncomfortable. The more he saw Stella, the more he disliked her, and Karen wanted to make it worse. She falsely accused him of hitting Stella in front of Thomas to add fuel to the fire.
When Thomas heard about it, he didn’t hesitate. As soon as Eric came back from school, he slapped him hard, knocking him to the ground. Eric foamed at the mouth, convulsing, almost unable to handle it.
He grabbed Thomas’ leg and asked through gritted teeth why he hit him. Thomas said it was because he had bullied Stella. Eric
him falsely, causing him this
injustice. From then on, Eric completely hated Stella.
Eric did transfer some of his hatred from Karen, but the Sinclair pack still wanted him, the talented one, to be the heir. Despite Eric’s misdeeds, those uncles of his liked him, almost unconditionally, without considering Andre, who was far away in Arcadia and under the care of the Knight’ butler. Karen believed that only by making Eric commit a major mistake would the Sinclair pack completely abandon him and consider Andre for the inheritance.
She started provoking Eric every now and then, of course, when no one could see or hear. Whenever Eric got angry, he couldn’t control his insults towards her. Karen purposely waited for Thomas to come back and acted as if she had been greatly wronged.
At that time, Thomas would scold and hit Eric, regardless of right or wrong. Every time Eric got angry, he would redirect his hatred towards Stella and find new ways to bully her…
Karen made sure the servants around her knew what Eric had done to Stella, spreading it throughout the Imperial Capital circle. Eric’s reputation slowly declined, even within the Sinclair pack. They believed that as Eric grew older, he became more unruly…
