Chapter 612
It did not take long for Rainee to discover the collusion between Stella and her buddies. So, she beat
her up. Rainee was still reluctant to hit her. So, she just hit Stella’s palm with a ruler.
"Then, my mom found out that I'm really not cut out for piano. Besides, she is busy with work, so she
no longer pushes me."
She thought to herself, 'My family’s condition improved later on, and we moved to a bigger house. But, I
was never as happy as I was back in my childhood time.'
Trevor's eyes softened a little. "Since you hate practicing the piano so much, didn't you think of a way
to break the piano? That way, you don't have to practice or get beaten."
Stella smiled. "I cant. You probably don't understand. At that time, my family's condition was only
average, and the piano was nearly 14,000 dollars. It was really expensive 20 years ago. My mother
could have bought a car, but she spent the money on me. She had a big fight with Albert for me. I

to live up to it."
Because of that, Rainee was very opposed to the audition back then. She knew her daughter well. So,
she was afraid that Stella was hot-headed and would stop studying hard after she lost interest.
Stella could score very high in her academics because Rainee had threatened her. If she could not get
into the top twenty of the grade, Stella would not be allowed to study that even if she got first place in
the audition.
After the result had come out, she went to show it off in front of Rainee. When she got older, she
realized that Rainee was always full of forward-
looking considerations for her.
Even if Stella could not learn acting, she could still apply to a good university with good academic
results. Rainee had never put out Stella's dream. Instead, she gave her a boost to get Stella closer to
achieving her dream. Only hard-earned things would be regarded as treasures.
Trevor choked. A piano worth 14,000 dollars was nothing to the Saun family even 30 years ago, let
alone 20 years.
The paper that Jaylene used to practice writing when she was a child cost thousands a month. She
knocked over a glass of water when she did not want to practice. They knew she did it purposely, but
they indulged her. In the concept of the Saun family, girls should be spoiled.
However, Stella would rather be beaten than break the piano. This realization made Trevor feel very
uncomfortable. She should have grown up surrounded by everyone's love without suffering this much.
Seeing that Trevor’s face was not well, Stella thought she had said too many personal things and
annoyed him. So, she coughed lightly and said," Mr. Saun, this meatloaf muffin is pretty good. Do you
want to try it?"
Trevor came back to his senses. He picked up the plate, took it, and said, ’ You don't have to call me
Mr. Saun. It's aloof. You're about the same age as Jaylene. If you don't mind, you can also address me
as your brother in the future.1'

others well for no reason.
Stella thought that it was better to keep her boss at arm's length. However, she could not refuse in a
way that was too obvious. He was the boss. It would affect her work if she offended him. So, she
compromised and said, "I think someone in the company calls you Trevor, so I'll call you Trevor too.
Trevor was reluctant, but it was not the time yet. He had no choice but to agree. "As long as you're
happy."
Stella then gave him another piece of caviar sushi. "Trevor, try this."
In the end, before the sushi was placed on Trevor's plate, someone bumped into Stella's arm. The
sushi slipped from the food tong and fell to the ground.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there." A female voice came from the side. Although she was sorry, her tone
was very condescending, which made others extremely uncomfortable.
Stella glanced at the person, and it turned out to be Molly. Thinking of the way she pretended to be
drunk and threw herself into Trevor's arms at the Carter couple's dinner last time, Stella suspected that
the collision just now was intentional.
