"Eleanor, I have to tell you something." Stella Hawthorne stammered for a moment and said, "Actually, I... I slept with Xander Lawson."
This was something Stella only dared to tell Eleanor Sterling.
For some reason, she just inexplicably trusted Eleanor.
Eleanor was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Then she thought it was quite normal, after all, even she had been with Alaric Faulkner...
So how could Stella not have something going on.
"He even said he wants to pretend to be my boyfriend so I can show up Felix Fuller, I agreed."
Eleanor mused for a moment, "So now Xander is your boyfriend?"
Stella hurriedly explained, "That’s fake, he has a fiancée."
Eleanor smiled; even if it’s fake, it still counts as a boyfriend.
But Xander actually has a fiancée?
While they were talking about Xander, Stella’s phone suddenly rang; it was Silas Hawthorne calling, and Stella curiously slid to answer.
"Hey, brother, is something up?"
Silas’s voice was serious as he said, "Stella, you need to come home immediately."
"Is something wrong?" Stella’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, suddenly having a bad premonition.
"Xander is at the Hawthorne Family begging for forgiveness."
Stella’s expression instantly froze.
Xander begging for forgiveness at the Hawthorne house? Didn’t that mean their situation was exposed?
Stella panicked completely.
After hanging up, she felt drained of strength, like her soul had been pulled away.
Eleanor noticed and immediately asked, "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"
"Eleanor, I’m done for; my family found out, they’ll definitely be angry."
Stella had a face of panic and uncertainty, unsure what to do.
"Stella, don’t worry, maybe it’s not as serious as you think."
"I have to go home." Stella grabbed Eleanor’s hand, eyes full of pleading, "Eleanor, will you come with me?"
"Okay, let’s go together."
Eleanor and Stella returned to the Hawthorne house together.
As soon as they entered the living room, they saw Xander kneeling on the ground, bowing his head, appearing remorseful.
On the sofa, Mrs. Hawthorne, Warren Hawthorne, and Silas were all present, looking extremely displeased.
Stella was the treasured princess of the Hawthorne Family, held in their palms like a precious gem, and no one expected her to be violated by a bodyguard.
They looked at Xander with gritted teeth.
Mrs. Hawthorne glared angrily at Xander, gritting her teeth, "What do you think you are, daring to touch Stella." The most update n0vels are published on NoveIＦire.net
Seeing Stella and Eleanor walk in, Mrs. Hawthorne beckoned, "Stella, come here."
"Mom." Stella obediently went over and sat beside her.
Silas and Warren noticed Eleanor, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, and then quickly disappeared.
Mrs. Hawthorne, waiting for Xander, ordered the butler, "Bring me a stick, today I’ll teach this audacious brat a lesson!"
The butler quickly brought the stick.
Mrs. Hawthorne ordered through gritted teeth, "Beat him to death for me!"
The butler raised the stick, striking Xander heavily, who gritted his teeth without moving.
The stick landed on him with a series of dull thuds.
Stella watched him, feeling a bit reluctant to bear it, yet not daring to speak up.
One blow, two blows, three blows...
At first, it was fine, but gradually Xander couldn’t bear it, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, clearly suffering internal injuries.
"Mom." Stella spoke up, wanting to say something, but Mrs. Hawthorne gave her a fierce glare.
"You’re not allowed to speak."
