Chapter 270

"Another DNA test? Whose is it this time?" Stella asked as she took the samples Ella handed over. It was a casual question with no special emphasis. "My grandfather's and mine," Ella replied just as casually, with no emotion attached. Stella's movements stiffened. Her eyes quickly flicked up to meet Ella's, her expression becoming unexpectedly serious and focused. "What's going on? What happened?" As Ella's friend, Stella knew her well. If she wasn't facing something serious, she wouldn't be bringing Clayton's blood sample for a DNA test. "Maybe the Grant family thinks I'm of no use anymore, which is why they want to throw me in prison. They want me dead." Ella spoke in such a calm tone that it was as if she were talking about something that didn't concern her. Her words paused briefly, and she added, "This time, it was my grandfather who orchestrated everything." "Damn it, what scum! No, he's worse than scum." Stella couldn't hold back her anger anymore and let a curse slip out.
