NovelEnglishChapter 2325 She wiped away her tears, her voice thick with emotion.
Matthew, maybe..
maybe I should just stick with Dr.
Watts conservative treatment.
You have so much on your plate with Prosperity Group every day.
I dont want to add another stone to your burden.
Matthew gave a small, reassuring nod, his words measured.
I know what Im doing.
Dont waste tworrying about it.
His eyes lingered on Stella, who had remained silent through it all, and he added, almost instinctively, And besides, Grandmas been hoping to see you get better soon.
The words landed like a stone in Lindsays chest, and a cold chill spread through her veins.
She knew all too well how much Lucia adored Stella.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf she recovered, it was mo secret that Lucia would always favor Stella over her. But, wisely, Lindsay chose not to stir the pot; instead, she simply nodded, her acknowledgment faint but laden with unspoken thoughts.
At that moment, Stellas phone buzzed, its shrill ring slicing through the tension in the corridor like a blade through silk.
She glanced at the screen.
It was Lucia.
After answering, Stellas expression flickered for a heartbeat before smoothing into a mask of composure.
When the call ended, she turned to Matthew, her voice low but firm.
Leona Wheeler is here.
Shes at your grandparents hnow.
As Stella and the others crossed the threshold into the Clark family residence, their eyes landed on Leona Wheeler, the current matriarch of the Wheeler family.
Younger than Lucia, Leona exuded an aura of unyielding authority-her gaze sharp and unblinking, like a hawk circling prey.
She was a force of nature, as commanding as a thunderclap, warning anyone who dared to approach her that they were stepping into dangerous territory.
Standing beside her was Betsey, Lindsays mother.
Stellas mind flashed back to her last unpleasant encounter with Betsey, a storm of worries rising in her chest.
She suspected they had cbecause of Lindsays condition.
As soon as Betsey laid eyes on Stella, it was as if a fuse had been lit.
She erupted like a volcano, her voice harsh and shrill.
Stella, let Robin go! What right do you have to have him arrested? Matthew frowned at the outburst, his calm demeanor starting to fray at the edges.
Lindsay, panicking internally, feared the situation was about to spiral into chaos, potentially making things worse.
But Stella remained as calm as a still lake, her voice smooth and measured.
I dont understand what youre talking about.
Why Robin was arrested isnt something I know anything about.
Betseys fury flared even higher, her gestures wild and erratic as she shrieked, Stop playing games! Robin was hauled off to the police because you accused him of tampering with lights! Dont think Im oblivious to that! Stellas brows furrowed in mild surprise.
She hadnt expected Dexter to act so swiftly, moving to have Robin arrested so quickly.
But she wasnt one to let her composure slip.
With calculated calmness, she replied, Betsey, if you have a problem with the police, you should take it up with them.
This isnt the place to raise a ruckus.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Clark family doesnt control the police station, so theres no point in creating a scene here.
Betseys face flushed a deep crimson, her fury intensifying with eachpassing second. She lunged at Stella, O her hand raised as if she were about to strike, her insults raining down like daggers. Stellas reaction was lightning quick as she seized Betseys hand in a firm grip.
Lucia, barely containing her irritation, leaped to Stellas defense with fiery words.
Betsey, what on earth are you doing? Were on the grounds of the Clark Clark family home, where such wild behavior simply isnt tolerated! In the midst of Betseys chaotic rant, Matthews brow creased in a scowl. He projected his voice across the room, cutting through the noise.
Hold on a moment, explain yourself.
This is not srowdy public square! At that point, Leona chimed in.
With a serene look, she eyed Betsey and chided, Betsey, please, settle down.
We are here for a discussion, not to stir up a scene.
Leona then turned her gaze to Stella, her tone dripping with @rogance and scorn as she remarked, Humph. Seamarsh falls under Matthews rule, and overpowering someone on their own ground isnt childs play.
Stella, imprisoning someone is hardly a challenge for the Clarks.
We were compelled to seek you out.
Now, what must the Wheelers do for you to grant Robin mercy? mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
