Chapter 864

The test results came back quickly.

The remains were confirmed to be Summer’s.

Felix stared at the report, his hands curling into fists.

They belonged to Summer.

They really belonged to Summer.

By the time Stella returned to the castle, it was already evening.

Drenched in sweat, she headed straight upstairs.

As she crossed the vast foyer, she saw Aaron had returned.

She did not greet him.

She simply continued toward the stairs.

“You didn’t see me?” Aaron asked.

Stella stopped and glanced back at him.

But she still said nothing.

Then she turned to leave again.

“Stella.”

“I’ve decided to go to Ravaria.”

Her voice was ice-cold.

She did not care what kind of complicated game everyone was playing anymore.

She was done.

She had never wanted to get involved in any of this in the first place.

Now everything around her was buried beneath layers of secrets, and the uncertainty was suffocating.

She was walking away from all of it.

She wanted none of it anymore.

Aaron’s expression shifted when he heard she intended to leave for Ravaria.

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Stella said. “I don’t want this family anymore either.”

She had spent the entire day at the shooting range trying to understand why Aaron had ordered her to return Surers to fes

He was her brother.

She had accepted every betrayal that came before this.

But this time, she could neither accept nor endure it.

“You already killed Summer,” Aaron said. “Why are you still throwitig a tantrum?”

Stella turned and looked at him.

She fell even more silent.

Her eyes were filled with endless disappointment.

Summer was gone, so that meant everything should be over?

They could interfere with her, and she was not allowed to hold them accountable?

“If you try to stop me from going to Ravaria, you’ll have to lock me up permanently. Otherwise, you won’t keep me here.”

Every word was firm.

This family had disappointed her so completely that she did not want to remain or even another minute.

“Father is coming home tomorrow,” Aaron said.

Stella said nothing.

Her father.

She had been back all this time and had not seen him once.

But even hearing that he would return tomorrow stirred nothing inside her now.

Perhaps it was because she had grown up without family in the first place.

She had never truly learned to expect anything from them.

When Aaron first found her and told her he was her brother and would take care of her from then on, Stella had thought she finally had a family.

But today, when Aaron told her to return Summer to Felix, she realized something.

Sometimes, the people called family could become the sharpest blades in your heart.

She did not want any of it anymore.

Not the family.

Not the promises.

Nothing.

Without another word, Stella went upstairs.

Aaron watched her leave, and unease struck his chest.

She did not come back down.

Even after dinner was ready.

“Go ask Stella to come down and eat,” Aaron instructed.

The little thing certainly had a temper.

Over something this small, she was actually threatening to leave home

“Yes, sir.”

Amaid hurried upstairs.

But less than a minute later, she rushed back down.

“Mr. Hogarth, something’s wrong.

Aaron had been wondering how he should coax Stella out of her mood

The maid’s words earned her a sharp glare.

She flinched.

“M-Miss Rowan is packing. She’s leaving.”

Aaron went still.

She was serious?

He strode upstairs.

When he reached Stella’s room, he found her packing exactly as the maid had said.

Her own belongings.

By the time he arrived, she had finished.

Stella pulled the zipper closed on her suitcase.
