The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day-Chapter 268: You Can Go Back Now

Felix Jennings also heard the sound. After quickly giving Stella Monroe a hug, he turned and climbed up the corner of the wall along the big locust tree, jumping over.

"Stella Monroe!"

Audrey Stanton’s voice came closer from afar. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Stella Monroe pretended nothing had happened and turned around in surprise, asking the approaching Audrey Stanton, "Big sister, why are you up so early?"

Audrey Stanton looked at her coldly and said, "I seemed to have seen someone here just now."

Stella Monroe spread her hands innocently, "Who’s here? Big sister, you must be mistaken. I just woke up early and didn’t want to wake you, so I got up to walk around and get some fresh air."

Audrey Stanton’s face was dark, clearly not believing her words.

But just as Audrey Stanton was about to speak again, a monk in a cyan robe came over and whispered a few words to her.

Audrey Stanton’s expression changed slightly, and her eyes, filled with complexity, fell on Stella Monroe.

Stella Monroe felt uneasy under Audrey Stanton’s strange gaze. Could it be that Audrey Stanton’s people discovered Felix Jennings?

It shouldn’t be.

Felix Jennings had been in the army in his early years and still kept fit; he was agile and clean, not easily discovered.

Just as Stella Monroe was panicking, Audrey Stanton finally spoke, "You can go back now."

Stella Monroe didn’t immediately grasp what "You can go back now" meant, thinking Audrey Stanton meant for her to go back to her room. She nodded repeatedly, "I’ll go back to wash up and get ready to go draw water."

Audrey Stanton frowned, "I’m not telling you to go back to your room; I’m telling you to go home."

Stella Monroe was stunned, her eyes wide in disbelief, asking, "Big sister, are you joking with me?"

Audrey Stanton said coldly, "The car is already waiting outside. Wait for me; I’ll pack some things and go back with you."

Stella Monroe’s face instantly lit up with joy.

"Did my father finally have a change of heart and let me go back?"

Audrey Stanton responded with a "Mm," just about to get to the point, but Stella Monroe excitedly interrupted her, saying, "I’ll go wash up and pack before going home!"

Saying this, she didn’t wait for Audrey Stanton to continue talking and directly ran to her room.

Audrey Stanton couldn’t stop her calling, but she decided to let it be; anyway, once they reached Stanton Manor, Stella Monroe would learn about Clarissa Stanton’s death.

Audrey Stanton clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and recited a sutra.

People die like lamps being extinguished; it’s just that Clarissa Stanton’s death came too early and too suddenly.

After finishing her recitation, she sighed and murmured, "People should do more good deeds for good karma..."

Audrey Stanton quickly packed her things and waited at the door, but after a long time Stella Monroe still hadn’t come out. Just as she impatiently wanted to go and rush her, Stella Monroe finally appeared at the temple entrance.

Audrey Stanton looked up to see Stella Monroe dressed in the flashy qipao she had arrived in, with heavy makeup, looking extremely ostentatious.

Audrey Stanton immediately frowned, saying in an annoyed tone, "On a day like today, what are you doing dressed like that?! Go change your clothes quickly!"

Stella Monroe shrugged and said, "I only brought this outfit with me; I can’t possibly wear your ragged clothes back, can I?"

Audrey Stanton stared coldly at Stella Monroe.

"Ragged clothes? Those were all sewn stitch by stitch. Wearing my clothes is better than wearing this outfit of yours."

Stella Monroe snorted coldly and said, "Big sister, I don’t have to stay in the temple anymore; you don’t need to control how I dress, do you? What I wear is no longer your concern."

Since she was already leaving, she definitely wasn’t going back, so she didn’t care about Audrey Stanton’s opinion anymore.

Since she didn’t care, she certainly wouldn’t listen to Audrey Stanton.

Going back in those tattered clothes, what if people saw and laughed at her? How would she be able to mix in the Crestfall high society circle anymore?
