The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day-Chapter 526: Not Afraid of Being Struck by Lightning?

Back when she married Henry Stanton, for the sake of face and reputation, they always said Clarissa Stanton was adopted.

But they knew in their hearts that she was their child.

Stella Monroe always thought this was a good idea, as it allowed Clarissa Stanton to enjoy all the privileges of a Stanton family heiress while preserving the couple’s honor. Yet, at this moment, she suddenly hated herself for having concealed Clarissa Stanton’s true lineage.

So much so that at Clarissa Stanton’s funeral, she didn’t dare to say that Clarissa was her biological daughter.

That noble lady was still trying to console Stella Monroe, but Stella didn’t want to hear a single word more. She promptly found an excuse of feeling unwell and left the backyard.

Summer Monroe had witnessed everything.

She followed Stella Monroe’s footsteps and called out to her as she was leaving the backyard.

"Aunt?"

Stella Monroe’s steps halted; she didn’t want to pretend anymore, since Summer Monroe had made her confess everything with Felix Jennings’ drugs, and with Henry Stanton not nearby, there was no point in continuing the charade.

She asked coldly, looking at Summer, "What are you up to now? I heard you just upset your class teacher. Don’t think your father is protecting you; he just wants money! In his eyes, although you are biological and Clarissa is adopted, to him, both are just tools for making money!"

Stella said this to provoke Summer Monroe; she wasn’t happy, so Summer shouldn’t be smug!

Unexpectedly, Summer wasn’t provoked; instead, she curled her lips slightly and said with a shadowed gaze, "Adopted... Are you sure about that?"

Stella’s expression froze for a moment but quickly returned to normal.

She hadn’t revealed anything about Clarissa’s lineage that day.

Stella clenched her teeth slightly, saying, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing..." Summer deliberately drew out her words, saying, "I just think, you seem to be overly grieving about Clarissa’s passing. Clarissa doesn’t seem like someone you adopted; she seems more like your biological daughter."

"What nonsense!" Stella was a little flustered but tried to stay composed, saying, "I raised Clarissa, she’s not biological, but she’s like my own. Don’t say anything reckless!"

Summer shrugged and said, "You can pretend I’m talking nonsense. But do you not know where Dad went when he went out and came back?"

Stella frowned deeply.

She wanted to ask, but there were too many people in the backyard, making it hard to ask Henry Stanton there.

Moreover, she assumed Henry Stanton went out for business.

But with Summer’s words, she suddenly became a bit curious.

Stella was silent for a couple of seconds, saying, "I don’t understand the point of all your insinuations. But let me tell you that your father and I are truly in love; no matter how much you try to sow discord, you’ll never separate us!"

"Truly in love?" Summer’s eyes were filled with sarcasm, "Aren’t you afraid of accidentally getting struck by lightning during a storm?"

Stella’s eyes slightly trembled, feeling guilty, she averted her gaze and said, "Summer! Stop acting all mysterious! I’m not feeling well; I need to go back to my room and rest!"

She said this with bad emotions, striding away toward the villa.

Stella’s steps were urgent, and her heart was anxious.

She worried that Summer knew about her affair with Felix Jennings, but upon a second thought, Summer couldn’t possibly know.

If she did know, she’d have exposed everything about her affair with Felix Jennings long ago, not waited until now.

Thinking thus, Stella’s restless heart calmed down.

At this moment, she happened to pass by Old Madam Stanton’s room.
