Xander Lawson drove Stella Hawthorne back to school, the two acting as if nothing had happened.
Eleanor Sterling had already been waiting in the dormitory for a long time.
Seeing Stella Hawthorne, she immediately stood up and asked with concern, "Stella, are you okay?"
"Eleanor, don’t worry, I’m fine," Stella shook her head.
Eleanor Sterling looked her over, seeing nothing unusual, she was relieved and asked, "You said on the phone that your boyfriend was cheating, what’s going on exactly?"
Stella, whose emotions had stabilized, heard Eleanor’s question, and her eyes instantly turned red, as if a fire of anger had gathered in her chest.
She lowered her head, a look of sadness on her face.
Eleanor hugged her with empathy and softly said, "I’m sorry, forget it, I won’t ask anymore."
Stella sniffled and gave a self-mocking smile, "Eleanor, my brother was right, Felix Fuller really is a gold-digger."
She told Eleanor all about encountering Felix Fuller pursuing Blanche Hayes after leaving the bar last night.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "My brother never liked Felix Fuller, so he didn’t let me reveal my identity. I didn’t expect him to show his true colors."
Stella once went against her family for Felix Fuller, thinking he was her true love. But in just a year, she saw the true nature of that scumbag.
Eleanor sighed and patted Stella’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, if your identity as the heiress of the Hawthorne Group is exposed in the future, he’ll regret it."
Stella clenched her teeth, "Yes! I am a Hawthorne heiress, given my status, Felix Fuller is merely reaching above his station."
Seeing Stella regaining her composure, Eleanor also breathed a sigh of relief and really felt reassured.
The little incident at the bar seemed to have passed just like that.
As if nothing had changed, yet something quietly transformed.
That day Stella and Eleanor went to class together.
"Where’s Xander Lawson?" Eleanor asked curiously.
The bodyguard had always been like a shadow, but today he wasn’t there, which was quite odd.
Stella shook her head and said, "I don’t know, he took leave."
It was the first time; Xander Lawson had never taken leave as long as he had been with her.
The two didn’t think much of it and headed to the classroom.
As they reached the back door, they heard someone ask Felix Fuller, "Hey Felix Fuller, is Stella Hawthorne really pursuing you?"
Felix Fuller’s disdainful voice sounded, "Of course, she’s been chasing me for so long, and I never agreed."
After that night, Blanche Hayes became much more receptive to Felix Fuller, so Felix decided to maintain a consistent story.
That was that he had never dated Stella Hawthorne, it was always her pursuing him.
Several people nearby laughed upon hearing this, then asked with a suggestive tone if he was pursuing Blanche Hayes and if he had succeeded.
Felix Fuller responded mysteriously, "You’ll know eventually."
Stella heard Felix Fuller’s words, and her whole body trembled with anger; he dared to slander her in front of everyone!
Eleanor’s eyes turned cold too, she hadn’t expected to encounter such a shameless person.
Stella’s face turned black with fury, and she couldn’t believe her once caring ex-boyfriend was capable of publicly defaming her.
She angrily pushed open the classroom door and walked up to Felix Fuller in a few steps.
