Chapter 528

[ 570 words ]

People like him always made others nervous, especially when emotions started to run high. No one really knew what someone with low intelligence might do when they got all fired up.

“Is there someone else up there?”

“Yeah. Barnaby just went up. Didn’t you see?”

Although Susanna had only glanced briefly, she found herself quite wary of the person next to Hull.

Hearing there were others in Hull’s room, Stella decided not to push Susanna any further.

“Alright then, I’ll go say hi to Hull. You pack and get ready. We’ll leave when I get back.”

“I don’t have anything to pack.”

Susanna had been whisked away by Tania without a moment’s notice, leaving her no time to gather her things.

The more she thought about her situation, the more upset she felt. Her mother was still missing, and sending her to Ferrowland should be the safest plan. But upon arriving, she realized people were waiting for her here too, and now Tania was gone as well.

Stella nodded. “Okay, wait for me here.”

“Okay.” Susanna nodded earnestly, looking adorable and compliant. Right now, she only had Star, and Star was the only one she felt she could wait for.

Upstairs, Hull was engrossed in his phone, barely acknowledging Barnaby’s report.

Barnaby’s mouth was getting dry from talking so much, and still, he got no response. He cleared his throat, “Mr. Miguel.”

There was still no reaction from Hull.

Curious about what was so captivating on the phone, Barnaby tiptoed to sneak a peek. It seemed like surveillance footage. What was so interesting about that?

Before Barnaby could ponder further, there was a knock on the door, and Stella’s voice, as sweet as a kitten, came from outside. “Hull, are you available?”

No wonder Ronald treated her like a delicate flower. Her voice was so soft and endearing that it made you worry the world outside might gobble her up.

Seeing Hull remain unresponsive, Barnaby tried again, “Mr. Miguel, hey, Mr. Miguel?”

After several calls, Hull finally took his eyes off his phone, casting an annoyed glance at Barnaby.

The look startled Barnaby. “It’s, uh, Princess Stella.”

Everyone in Ferrowland referred to

Stella as Princess Stella, while Yvonne was known as Princess Yvonne. Although she was the second daughter of the Quinn family, there were only two daughters, so one was the elder

princess, and the other the younger.

Hull glanced toward the door. “Let her in.”

He instinctively adjusted his robe. It was an unspoken rule among Ronald’s men

to maintain their appearance before Stella.

Once Hull’s attire was in order, Barnaby opened the door.

Earlier, he had seen Stella chatting with Susanna, so he hadn’t interrupted. Now,

he respectfully greeted her, “Princess Stella.”

Hearing the title, Stella paused.

Since moving to Portis City, no one

had called her that. Barnaby’s words made her feel the reality of being back in Ferrowland.

Stella nodded, her eyes moving to Hull on the bed. His face looked a bit pale, a testament to the fact that

Susanna’s mishap with his

medication last night wasn’t entirely without consequence.

Stella greeted politely, “Hull.”

Hull nodded slightly, acknowledging her before inquiring about Ronald. “Didn’t

Ronald come with you?”

Stella replied, “He’s busy. I came to pick up Susie.”

She treated Hull with due respect, particularly given his proximity to Ronald. Stella

was acutely aware of who held significance in Ronald’s world.

Susanna had spent some time with Hull, so it was only right for Stella to inform him before taking her away.

When she mentioned this, the room’s atmosphere cooled noticeably.

Feeling the shift, Stella glanced at Hull. “So, I’ll be taking her then?”
