Trevor's expression turned stern upon at Stella's words. After all, he had not met Paul in person before, so he found herspeculation more credible than his.
"So, are you suggesting that the person isn't Paul Morant?"Stella felt she was about to uncover the truth, but it seemed veiled by something elusive that clouded her judgment.
She frowned as she repeatedly recalled the person she had seen that day: slim, short, and heavily dressed. However, theirexposed skin lacked the roughness of a man and held an unexpected daintiness.
“Trevor, what was the name of Paul's fiancee who died in the fire? Do you have a photo of her?"
Trevor shook his head. "I don't. Paul's father's friend said that he met her when he was teaching in Rivera. She was also in themedical-"
Trevor stopped speaking abruptly. He shifted his gaze to Stella and asked," Stella, could it be Dillon Brook?" "Dillon Brook?"Trevor made a shushing gesture. Stella was overwhelmed as she lowered her voice. Trembling, she said, "That anesthetist!"
Trevor was shocked, too. He could not believe that the person they had been searching for was lurking around them with adifferent identity the whole time.novelbin
If Stella had not become suspicious after coincidentally meeting her and told Trevor to look her up, they might never have foundout!
"Keep it down." Trevor suppressed his emotions and whispered, ‘Til secretly find out where she lives first and try to get close toher. If she really is Dillon Brook, then... the fire back then might not be an accident. | need to know more about her first. Let's notraise any unwanted attention for now."
Stella nodded. "I understand. She's a very cautious person. She got very upset the other day when | asked her a couple ofquestions and immediately left in a hurry. Be patient, and don't rush into anything. After all, she'll be here in Rivera. We can takethings slow." "Sure." Trevor paused before adding, "Is anyone in Caline giving you problems these days?"
Stella chuckled. "I just taught Darcie's assistant a lesson today. Although | don't have as much authority as her, | have morecompany shares. No one in the company dares to offend me, at least not openly."
Trevor tapped her nose. "You came up with a very good plan by sending Dad and Darcie away for a vacation so she can'trestrain you in the office."
Stella rubbed her nose and said proudly, "| won't be able to find out about anything with Darcie around. She's too sharp andcautious. | have no choice but to sacrifice Dad and his charm."
Trevor snorted. "You sacrificed your man and your dad to achieve your goals. | wonder if you're going to sacrifice your brothernext."
Stella sighed. "I wish | could, but you're not the person Jaylene's into. Hey, why don't you try seducing Molly, and maybe wecould 'borrow' a few bucks from the Moore family?"
Trevor's eyelid twitched as he lifted his hand and playfully smacked Stella.
Sonia rested at home for two days, and Trevor took her around Rivera for some sightseeing. Jaylene continued diligently workingovertime, portraying herself as a career-focused, independent woman. Meanwhile, Stella left work on time every day, with Larryofficially becoming her driver. When Larry went to the Royalpark Villa to pick Stella up for the first time, Keegan tagged along.
Aldor injured his foot while he went out with Aurora yesterday, so he could not drive for a few days. Keegan knew Stella had adriver now, so he insisted on riding with her.
Clearly, he was just being clingy, but he would not admit it. "Let me test his driving skills," he said.
Stella hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly agreed.
