Lingering Passion: Mr. Sutton Wants to be Your Male Lead!-Chapter 97: You Never Considered Me a Friend

Stella Grant is not a good confidant, nor is she a good listener.

These years, she’s been suffocated by the burdens of life, rarely sharing her troubles with others, and seldom listening to the hardships of others.

Because she is too rational and clear-minded, she understands that these are in vain.

The path must be walked step by step by oneself, the bitterness tasted bite by bite, the money earned penny by penny.

If you share with others, if they are true friends, they might sympathize with you. If they are fake, they might laugh at you behind your back.

Friends are like currency, some are real and some are fake. Unfortunately, we are not currency detectors, and most of us can’t distinguish between real and fake.

Silas Sutton talked, and there was a brief silence in the car.

After a few seconds, Stella Grant’s fingers curled slightly on her lap, she steadied herself and spoke, "No."

Silas Sutton raised his eyes, as if he didn’t believe her, "Really?"

Stella Grant curled her lips and said, "Really."

After speaking, worried that Silas Sutton wouldn’t believe, she took a shallow breath and said, "A person’s success is somewhat related to whether the family provides help, but it’s not a definite relationship."

There are so many rich heirs who use the family’s foundation as a stepping stone, only to end up in failure.

Therefore, Stella Grant really believes that Silas Sutton’s achievements are mainly due to his own capability.

Stella Grant spoke sincerely, and Silas Sutton’s thin lips curved slightly, "Hmm,"

Silas Sutton finished speaking, just as the red light turned green, he turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator.

When the car arrived at Stella Grant’s apartment complex, it was an hour later.

Stella Grant went to buy groceries, while Silas Sutton stood outside the car making a call.

The person on the other end was Forrest Keller, saying Charlotte Shelby made a huge fuss at the birthday party and even hit someone.

Silas Sutton’s expression was indifferent, his tone showed no fluctuations, "What’s the response from The Shelby Family?"

Forrest Keller truthfully said, "Mr. Shelby has always doted on Charlotte Shelby, so there wasn’t much of a reaction, but her half-brother was embarrassed by her and scolded her at the party in front of everyone."

Charlotte Shelby’s half-brother is Zachary Shelby, who often encounters Silas Sutton in business, and the relationship is passable.

Upon hearing this, Silas Sutton scoffed slightly and said, "Zachary Shelby is always calm, seems he’s really upset."

Forrest Keller, "He is indeed quite upset, Charlotte Shelby hit the favorite of Zachary Shelby’s recent collaborator during the birthday party."

Upon hearing this, Silas Sutton raised his eyebrows slightly, offered no extra remarks, only judged, "Stupid."

Silas Sutton can call Charlotte Shelby stupid, but Forrest Keller did not dare to respond to such comments.

Forrest Keller paused slightly, then continued, "Just now Elder Sutton called me, asking where you are, I said I didn’t know."

Silas Sutton, "Hmm."

Forrest Keller asked, "Are you going back to the old mansion tonight, or?"

Silas Sutton looked towards the supermarket entrance not far away, Stella Grant’s dress hem fluttered in the wind, her slim waist highlighted a nice curve, and said in a deep voice, "I’m not going anywhere."

Forrest Keller was curious, "Then where are you staying tonight?"

He’d need to know where to pick him up in the morning.

Silas Sutton replied, "At Stella Grant’s house."

Forrest Keller, "..."

Before Forrest Keller could react, Silas Sutton had already hung up the phone.

Listening to the silence on the phone, Forrest Keller had a sudden feeling of retrospective awakening.

Ray Woods is being cuckolded!!

Over there, after hanging up the phone, Silas Sutton strode forward to receive things from Stella Grant.

Stella Grant initially wanted to decline, but changed her mind as she was withdrawing her hand, reached out and handed over the items, "Thank you."

Silas Sutton raised an eyebrow, "Would you say thank you to Sue Woods for such a small matter?"

Stella Grant was slightly stunned, realizing he was implying ’now that we are friends, there’s no need to say thank you for such small matters,’ she smiled awkwardly, "I’ll be mindful of this in the future."

The two carried the items up the stairs, in the elevator, Stella Grant suddenly felt that after shedding the aloofness and noble bearing, Silas Sutton was not unreachable.

He was very approachable and gentlemanly.

Getting off the elevator, Stella Grant pulled out her key, ready to open the door. Silas Sutton’s phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Stella Grant turned around at the sound, just about to take the items from Silas Sutton’s hand when she heard him say naturally, "Can you take out the phone for me?"

Stella Grant was slightly dazed, looking up.

Silas Sutton lowered his head to meet her gaze, his expression calm, his voice deep, "Right pocket of the suit pants."

Silas Sutton finished speaking, seeing Stella Grant unmoved, took a step forward, looking at her intently, and said with a frown, "Stella Grant, did you not consider me as a friend at all?"
