Chapter 624 The grudge between Stella and Eric began with Andre’s mother. Andre’s mother was infamous in the Wolverly Capital for being a homewrecker, seducing mated men as a mistress. She used her pregnancy with Andre to climb up the social ladder. In doing so, she drove Eric’s mother to her death. At the time, Eric was only five years old. He witnessed his mother jumping off a building, falling right in front of him with blood splattered all over his face. Since then, Eric’s gentle and obedient personality changed drastically. At such a young age, he was cruel enough to pinch Andre, who was still a pup in his crib. Andre’s mother feared for her pup’s safety, so she sent him to the Knight pack, where their butler, who was then a close friend, could take care of him. As for Andre’s mother, she was both good and bad. On one hand, she took in her niece who had lost both parents, and personally cared for and taught her…
On the other hand, she forced Eric to call her as his mother. She treated him as her son. If he refused to do so, it would result in beatings from his father. Helpless against Andre’s mother’s power, Eric transferred all his pent-up hatred towards Stella, even though he knew Stella was innocent… He wanted to kill Stella, but at the same time, he would also save her… In this tangled web of grudges and contradictions, Eric and Stella were entangled for half their lives… Meanwhile, Andre knew that everything was his mother’s fault. He didn’t want to return to the Wolverly Capital, nor did he want to see his mother. He had no idea what kind of life Stella was living, until he accompanied Griffon on a mission and found her half-dead. It was then that he learned about Stella’s inhumane life in the Sinclair pack and begged Griffon to help her and send her abroad. Andre thought everything had ended, but Eric was still entangled with Stella, unable to distinguish his
true feelings. It seemed like he had been bound to Stella for half of his life and couldn’t let go anymore… After learning about these things, Taya and Harper held Stella tightly. Due to the grudges between their elders, Stella’s life was ruined. No one had ever really cared for her… Stella cried her heart out, and when she opened her eyes and wanted to comfort them back, she saw Henry not far away. A bright, pure man, wearing a light gray suit, walked towards her step by step with a determined pace… Stella quickly let go of Taya and Harper, turned around and wanted to leave. But she was stopped by Henry grabbing her wrist. Stella turned her head and saw the redness in Henry’s eyes, revealing a look of distress. Stella took a deep breath and asked, “Did you hear everything?” Henry nodded and didn’t say anything. It seemed like he hadn’t figured out how to speak yet. After revealing her ugly past, Stella felt relieved and became straightforward when facing Henry. She still raised her confident chin and uttered, “My past is too unsightly. Don’t come looking for me again in the future.” Her body and mind were in ruins, filthy to the extreme. Someone like her didn’t deserve happiness. She pushed away Henry’s hand and turned around again, but he was one step faster and blocked her way. “If I could meet you in the past, I would definitely protect you,” he held Stella’s shoulder, looking at her with utmost sincerity. “In the past, I wasn’t there. But in the future, I will definitely create a happy future for you.” He didn’t say anything like “I don’t mind your past” or “I don’t care about your past”. He only made a promise. He firmly grabbed her shoulder, as if holding Stella’s future, giving her infinite possibilities and infinite strength.
Stella stared at Henry blankly, but he held her hand and politely asked Harper and Taya, “May I borrow Stella for a moment?” Taya looked at Stella, and seeing that she didn’t object, she held Harper’s hand and turned to walk into the villa, giving them space. B
