Chapter 243

Chapter 243:

Originally, there was still Tristan. When Stella lived with the Richard family, at least he was there to take care of her. However, after marrying into the Kingston family and moving to the RK mansion, Tristan seemed to have disappeared. Even the Richard family didn’t know where he was.

In particular, Sophia and Isabella grew to dislike Stella more and more. They always believed that Tristan’s disappearance was somehow Stella’s fault. The relationships within the Richard family were already complicated, but now, with this issue... things were even worse.

“What? That woman came to see you?”

Kelly was shocked by what she heard. “That’s too much! How shameless can she be? How dare she come looking for you!”

After her initial shock, Kelly continued, “If she had any guts, she’d go find RK! Stella, I think she doesn’t dare confront him, so she’s taking all her anger out on you! You can’t let her get away with that!”

Stella was speechless. Was she really that easy to bully? It was clear that the only reason Sophia got the better of her was because of her injured foot. She couldn’t defend herself in that critical moment. Otherwise, her foot wouldn’t be as swollen as it was now.

“Stella, did she hurt you? Are you okay?” Kelly asked, her voice filled with concern. “I think she’s just mad because she can’t get what she wants, so she’s taking it out on you! After all, you didn’t force Mr. Kingston into anything. It was his choice. What right does your sister have to say anything about it?”

“Besides, you’ve already moved into the RK mansion. It’s obvious that Mr. Kingston chose you, right?”

Stella felt a pang of sadness. To be honest, she still hadn’t told Kelly the whole truth about her relationship with RK. She feared that revealing everything would only bring more trouble in the future.

So, she kept her silence on certain things, saying, “Forget it, I’m used to it. You know how Sophia is... She’s always been like that. Even when I was living at the Richard family home, she acted the same.”

“That’s not the same!” Kelly retorted. “Back then, Tristan was there to protect you. But now, his protection is gone! Stella, you have to think about yourself! You must protect yourself!”

Your storytelling destination is gαℓησν풆ℓs.com Kelly’s concern was genuine. Back when Stella was living with the Richard family, Kelly had wanted to help her many times, but as an outsider, it wasn’t easy for her to get involved. Fortunately, Tristan had been there, so Stella hadn’t suffered much.

But now... things were different.

As Kelly said, Stella wasn’t in the Richard family anymore. Tristan wasn’t around either. Instead, she was living in the RK mansion, and the man she had married... well, the relationship between him and Sophia was something Stella understood all too well.

If something were to happen again, would RK even help her? Or would he side with Sophia?

The thought sent a chill through Stella’s heart.

It wasn’t just speculation. After all, the relationship between her and RK had never been made public. He had never allowed their marriage to be mentioned to anyone. Meanwhile, he and Sophia often appeared together in public.

What was RK planning? Was he going to keep her at home like a decoration while he flaunted his relationship with Sophia?

The thought of it made Stella feel utterly pathetic. RK didn’t seem to take her seriously at all, yet he still insisted on controlling every aspect of her life.

What right did that man have?

“Stella, are you okay? Are you listening?” Kelly’s voice broke through her thoughts.

Stella sighed and replied, “I’m listening.”

“Good. Now, listen to me, Stella. You’re too soft-hearted! Look at the situation you’re in. RK is your husband, yet it seems like you’re going to lose him to someone else! How can you let a mistress just break into your house like that?” Kelly’s voice was filled with indignation.
