Chapter 2464 Stella reassured him with a smile.
Its all fine; weve settled into our seats now.
With a nod of understanding, Howard excused himself and moved away.
Sanford suddenly stood up from his seat.
I see an old friend.
Ill just go over and say hello.
With that, he strode off.
Bella watched Sanfords departure, and then turned to Stella with a curious look.
How does Lindsay know Pamela? Stella thought for a moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey probably met during their tstudying abroad.
The Clarks picked the finest schools for Lindsay, but she seems to squander her opportunities to make meaningful connections. Stella, it would be best for you to avoid any contact with Lindsay in the future, Bella said sternly.
Ill have Whitney look into reputable brain specialists in Dorburn.
If we can help Matthew regain his memory quickly, we can resolve the situation with Lindsay just as fast. Stellas mind raced with images of Matthew as Bella spoke, her thoughts spiraling.
Could it be that Lindsay had cto Dorburn without Matthews knowledge? Was her entire visit simply to leverage Pamela to irritate her? How could someone as honorable as Lucia have an adopted granddaughter Like Lindsay? Bennett muttered, sharing Bellas concerns.
A sudden thought seemed to strike him, and he turned to Bella.
Does Howard respect Stella because of you? he asked.
I dont have that much influence, Bella responded quickly.
Thats odd.
Is Howard actually humble then? Bennett pondered aloud, appearing confused.
As the tconversed, Pamela and Lindsay entered the room.
Pamela strode directly to Stella and sat beside her with a dismissive snort.
Seeing Pamelas cold manner, Stella smiled subtly.
Have you managed to piece my invitation back together yet? she asked.
Pamelas expression darkened.
Anger boiled within her, but she remembered her fathers warning and swallowed her pride.
Here.
She slapped the crudely repaired invitation onto Stellas lap.
This is rather shoddy work, Stella remarked, examining the invitation.
With that, she ripped it again and tossed the pieces back to Pamela. Thank you, she said.

Youve just confirmed my status in front of Howard. I dont dont geed this invitation to affirm my identity anymore. Pamela, stood abruptly, anger flashing in her eyes, ready to confront Stella.
Yet Stella remained composed.
Your father holdsin high regard.
I wouldnt testif I were you, she said firmly.
Im not sure why Howard is so courteous, but I certainly know how to leverage the aut authority Im given.
Pamela deflated at Stellas calm assertion and reluctantly sat down again.
Lindsay witnessed the exchange and couldnt help but warn Stella.
Remember, this is Dorburn, not Seamarsh, she whispered.
You might want to show srestraint to avoid complicating things for Matthew.
What concern is it of yours? Even if Matthew were here, do you think Red fail to discern right from wrong? Stellas reply was swift and sharp. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
