The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day-Chapter 277: One Dead, One Mad

"No!" Stella Monroe shook her head forcefully, once again denying the fact that Clarissa Stanton was dead. She cried out, "My Clarissa isn’t dead, she’s just asleep. Why are you putting her in a coffin? Bring her out for me!"

The guests who came to pay their respects shook their heads, thinking she had truly lost her mind.

Some were puzzled and whispered, "She’s just an adopted daughter, and she lost her mind over it? No matter how deep the affection, it’s not enough to be this heartbroken, is it? Can’t she just adopt another one?"

Immediately, someone gossiped, "Didn’t you attend the Hughes Family’s birthday banquet last night? Last night, Clarissa Stanton was there, proclaiming that she was actually the biological daughter of Henry Stanton and Stella Monroe!"

As soon as these words fell, more people joined in the gossip.

"Really? Biological? That timeline doesn’t add up... Doesn’t that mean, when Miss Luna Monroe was still around, these two were already...?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Indeed! I thought it was absurd at the time, but seeing Stella Monroe’s reaction today, it’s really like her own daughter has died."

"I say, even if it wasn’t before Luna Monroe’s death that they got involved, the sister-in-law marrying the brother-in-law is quite inappropriate!"

"Shh—stop talking, they might hear you."

However, Henry Stanton had already heard them.

The veins on his forehead were throbbing violently.

Clarissa Stanton really couldn’t leave him in peace even in death, revealing all the secrets. What kind of fool of a daughter had he fathered?!

Henry Stanton had never felt so ashamed in his life.

He even began to regret getting involved with Stella Monroe in the first place. If not, he wouldn’t be half in the grave and still having people gossip behind his back.

Henry Stanton’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Yet Stella Monroe didn’t hear any of the surrounding gossip, clinging to Henry Stanton in madness: "Quickly, bring our Clarissa out! If she wakes up and finds herself in a coffin, she’ll be scared to tears!"

At this moment, Stella Monroe’s mind was indeed in chaos.

She couldn’t comprehend the sudden death of Clarissa Stanton, persistently urging Henry Stanton to bring Clarissa out.

Henry Stanton shook off Stella Monroe’s hand and slapped her directly across the face.

Stella Monroe instantly felt a fiery pain on her cheek. She reached up to touch it, only to feel the fresh blood dripping from her nose.

"Blood..."

Her legs gave way, and she once again fell softly to the ground.

And with that slap, Stella Monroe finally regained her sanity.

She stared blankly at the vermilion coffin, truly realizing that it was not Henry Stanton or Summer Monroe who had died, but her Clarissa, her precious daughter Clarissa!

"No!!!" Stella Monroe screamed to the sky, her voice piercing and shattered, making everyone shiver.

Henry Stanton’s patience had completely run out. He directly ordered the butler, "Take her back to her room and call a doctor to check her mental state!"

"Yes, sir!" The butler waved a hand, and with two bodyguards, they carried off Stella Monroe.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Stella Monroe struggled and shouted madly, "I want to avenge my daughter, my daughter must have been murdered! She must have been..."

Before Stella Monroe could finish her sentence, the butler, having received a glance from Henry Stanton, covered her mouth with one hand.

All of Stella Monroe’s words were stifled, and she glared fiercely at the butler.

The butler waved his other hand, and the two bodyguards immediately quickened their pace, taking Stella Monroe straight out of the garden.
