Chapter 193
Right behind the Tarovian Terrace were the scenic mountains. Several rows of graves were located there.
Among them was the grave of Stella’s mother, Gabriella Peddle. Stella suddenly felt the urge to visit her mother’s grave
Yoel didn’t say much and drove the car up. Half an hour later, they reached the mountains, where rows of
white headstones stood.
“Thank you for bringing me here, Stella said. Then, she turned and started walking up the mountain alone.
Yoel initially wanted to leave, but it was dangerous for a girl to go up the mountain alone at night. He pursed his lips and eventually got out of the car, following her footsteps upwards.
Stella had already walked far ahead. When Yoel found her, she was standing in front of a headstone, looking desolate. Despite her sorrow, she appeared hauntingly beautiful.
When his gaze fell on the name on the headstone, he froze. His blood drained from his face. “Your mother
is Gabriella?”
Stella turned her head, her nose flushed. “Did you know my mom?”
Yoel’s piercing eyes locked onto hers. “Did your mother leave you a necklace?”
“How did you know?” Stella looked surprised, pulling out a plain red bloodstone necklace from under her clothes
ne say th
Yoel walked over to get a clear look. When necklace, his pupils widened in surprise. It was the
family crest of the Sanders family
Years ago, Isabella, the eldest daughter of the Sanders Group, refused an arranged marriage.
She escaped from her family in Mavonia and changed her name to Gabriella. Then, her whereabouts
became unknown.
Conrad, the head of the Sanders family, had been searching for Isabella ever since. Little did they know, Isabella had passed away but had left such a grown–up daughter.
Yoel was overwhelmed by this revelation. She was the sole remaining scion of the Sanders family. Her only surviving relatives were her maternal grandparents. If he could bring Stella back to the family…
No. The Sanders family was too powerful. Bringing her back just like that wouldn’t be enough. His status as the second son of the Perkins family wouldn’t befit. So he had to get Stella to marry him first, then bring her back.
That way, it would be a done deal. The entire fortune of the Sanders family would belong to him. He would then have the leverage to overthrow Brian.
“How did you know my mother left me a keepsake?” Stella found it very strange.
Yoel looked at her face and made up an excuse. “Because your mother and my mother were very good friends, just like you and Yelena.”
Stella was stunned. Could there be such a connection
What was my mother like? Stella had never learned about her as Simon was unwilling to say much.
Yoel replied softly. She was very beautiful, well educated, independent
He had heard that his father, Edgar Perkins, had also admired Inabella in the past. She was a true lady of noble birth and was so beautiful that countless noblemen fell at her feet.
Seeing Stella’s appearance, it wasn’t hard to imagine Isabella’s beauty. Hut he still needed Stella’s DNA He had to run the DNA test with Conlad to contium it she was indeed the lost scion of the Sanders family.
After chatting for a while, Stella felt closes to Yoel. Hy mothers had been good friends, and she felt at strange sense of kinship with him.
On the way back, strong winds began to blow.
“is a storm coming” Stella glanced at the sky. The wind was strong, especially up in the mountains.
Voel said, “It seems so. It’s expected to hit tonight or tomorrow night along the coast, but it’s still
unknown which city it will hit exactly.
Sendoville experienced several typhoons each year, so Stella had grown accustomed to them,
“We have to take the stairs down the mountain. Hold my hand. It will be safer.” Voel extended his hand to
Stella looked down. The path down was steep, with white steps about a meter wide winding down to the
base Especially in the night with howling winds, it felt rather terrifying.
Stella placed her hand in Yoel’s. Thank you.”
“Call me Yoel
“Alright, Yoel.” Stella carefully followed him down,
Suddenly, a tree on the right crashed down!
“Watch out!” Yoel pulled her into his embrace.
