Chapter 1409

Stellie grew up like a princess, always getting what she wanted. Whatever mess she made, someone was always there to clean it up. She never learned her lesson, which made her bold enough to take on even the most dangerous tasks. Stella realized she could not count on anyone but herself for help. She tried to reach out to Lucas three times, but his phone was off every time. 'He really doesn't care,' she sighed internally. Knowing Lucas might be on Stellie's side, Stella had to look elsewhere. Abigail and Nathan were dealing with their own problems, so she could not ask them for help. Then she remembered Ronan, whose family in Valtara was well-connected and powerful. She had just added him to her contacts. She texted Ronan a message: [Hey dear, got time for a video call?] Ronan did not respond with a text but directly called Stella through video. "Girlfriend's call? I've got to make time. What's going on, dear?" Stella grinned. "I'm in a bit of a jam." Ronan's voice was cautious.
