Chapter 145
[ 558 words ]
On Stella’s side.
She got a message from Ursula, “Rick mentioned that once I move into Wave Residence, he’s planning to put up sunflower curtains in my room.”
Stella wrote, “Guess you can start shopping for those curtains now.”
Such a show-off!
Hmph!
Just four more days, then she’d see how Yorick managed to wrap this up. The reputation of Portis City’s foremost heir, would be tarnished just like that, hilarious.
…
At the hospital.
At the sight of Stella’s indifferent response, a hint of malice flashed in Ursula’s eyes.
Just as she was about to send another message, Cloudia walked in.
Ursula quickly deleted the message she was typing and handed her phone to the nurse, “Thanks a lot.”
“Don’t mention it.”
The nurse took the phone, gave Cloudia a respectful nod, and left.
Cloudia’s smile didn’t wane, “So, everything set with Wave Residence?”
Just thinking about Ursula moving into Wave Residence made her uncontrollably happy.
Lately, she’d been the butt of jokes among those high-society ladies, calling her daughter a burden. As if, Cloudia’s foster daughter, a burden? That was a laugh. She was going to marry Yorick and live in Wave Residence. Hearing Cloudia bring up it, Ursula nodded, “Yeah, he even said he’d change my curtains to sunflower ones once I move in.”
Cloudia’s smile grew even wider.
“He really does care about you. You better cherish him later.”
At the mention of the future by Cloudia, Ursula felt a flutter in her heart. Could there really be a future between her and Yorick? She hoped so. Once she was well, she couldn’t dare to mess things up. After all, life needed to be valued.
“These past few days, the lawyer has been looking for you, Mom. You still can’t let go of Stella, can you?” Ursula asked softly.
Given the mess between Stella and the Larkin family, she thought Cloudia would be the first to sign the disownment agreement.
But instead, she’d been avoiding the lawyer. What was that about? Couldn’t let go of that rebellious bitch?
Mentioning Stella soured Cloudia’s mood.
“Alas…She’s still my daughter, Ursula. Let me deal with her once you’re better.”
Cloudia hesitated to sign off on

All
her decisions regarding Stella fately were made in anger.
One shouldn’t make any decisions in a fit of rage.
As Ursula heard this, her heart
lurched. Waiting until she was better to decide? What did that mean? Did it imply that by then, her entire focus would be on making it up to Stella?

If that was the case, she…
This thought made Ursula’s heart pound, her face paling.
Well, then! It seemed she underestimated Stella.
She had wanted the Larkin family to personally kick her out of Portis City.
Now, look how things turned out: the financial support remains, the studio isn’t shut down, and Stella isn’t going anywhere?
So, what was the point of all her previous efforts? All for nothing?
Cloudia sighed, “Ursula, it truly
breaks my heart. How could they raise her to be like this? What does that tell us? That they don’t care about her! Must be their negligence leading to her becoming this way, right?”
Talking about Stella’s foster family boiled Cloudia’s blood.
In her view, if they had raised Stella right, she would be as gentle as Ursula.
Not the hellion she was now, trading insults and even coming to blows.
The mere thought that her foster family might have mistreated Stella pained Cloudia as a mother.
Yet, whenever Stella infuriated her, she regretted ever bringing her back.
