" Watching the " loving grandpa and grandson " act in front of her , Penelope was fuming inside . " Blake , I heard all of Ion Wing Drones ' drones have been pulled from the market , both online and offline . Is something wrong with the company ?

" She put on a worried face . " If there really is a problem , you should talk to Xander- " Blake , chewing on his toast , played dumb and said , " The company's fine . " Penelope asked , " Fine ? Then why did you pull everything ? " Blake just shrugged . " Stella told me to . " Penelope was so mad that she nearly choked . " Who did you say ? Stella ? " She whipped her head around to Kendrick . " Are you really just going to let Blake do whatever he wants ? Stella told him to pull the products , and he just did it ? Do you even realize how much this is costing the company ?

" Kendrick slammed his fork down on the table . " Done ? " His gaze was like a knife , cutting right through Penelope . She shivered and didn't dare say another word . Kendrick continued , " Then take your invitation and get lost ! " He radiated authority without even trying . The air in the dining room was so heavy that the servants didn't even dare to breathe . After a while , Penelope snatched up the invitation . " Just wait for the launch event today . We'll see who the real star is !

Blake , totally unfazed , poured a glass of milk for Kendrick and slid it over . " Come on , Grandpa , eat up . The best is yet to come for Ion Wing Drones ! " ' I've got someone watching my back ! Blake thought to himself . Kendrick thought , " That little brat ! ' At Sandridge Island , John was handing Stella the paternity test results he'd just picked up from Emily . Everyone couldn't help but stare at it . Allan had gone all out for the event , rocking a burgundy shirt and a pair of glasses that made his good looks even more showy .

Right now , he was staring at the paper in Stella's hand , eyes wide in disbelief . " Wait , what did you just say this is ?

Even though they had no idea what it said , she seemed in a pretty good mood , a knowing smirk playing at her ps . For some reason , everyone suddenly felt a chill run down their spines .

" It's not mine , " Stella replied , actually sounding patient for once as she glanced up at Allan . Allan thought that answer and the sly look on Stella's face made the whole vibe just get even more bizarre . Jake , still sporting a bruised eye , patted his chest . " Man , that scared me ! " After watching too many soap operas , I totally thought Ms. Carter was about to find out she's not really a Carter , but the long - lost daughter of some wealthy family , so she secretly did a paternity test . " Everyone else was speechless .

Lucas , clutching his favorite shark spoon , his 5 - year - old brain was running wild picturing it all , his mouth silently going " Wow ! " again and again . The next second , John gave Jake a good smack on the head and shapped , " Shut up . " Jake protested , all aggrieved , " But that's how it always happens in the dramas ! " Snowball's big , white head popped up over the edge of the table staring at Stella with those tiny eyes brimming with curiosity , letting out a soft , curious hiss .

Stella gave a little laugh , idly stroking Snowball's head as she said matter - of - factly , " Oh , I'm not really a Carter by blood . " Lucas just froze , his bowl crashing onto the table in shock . Allan asked , " How do you even know that ? " ' And how is she just sitting there like it's no big deal ? ' Allan thought . Stella casually pointed her slender finger right at Sebastian . " Sebastian checked me out from the start . He found it in the files . " Then she arched an eyebrow , looking as chill as ever . Sebastian , caught in the act , was momentarily awkward .

Stella gave a little smile and turned to Allan . " Don't tell me you didn't read it . " Allan looked super guilty , his eyes darting all over the place . ' Didn't read it ... Allan thought , flustered . ' Yeah , right ! Like I could resist reading it ! ' Lucas hopped off his chair and dashed over to Stella , squeezing her tight in a big hug . His soft cheeks scrunched up with worry as he kept flashing little heart signs at her with his hands . Annette got up , went to the kitchen , and brought back a bowl of ice cream for Stella .

" Stella , aren't you even a little curious about your real parents ? " Allan and Jake practically had their ears on full alert , dying to hear the answer . Everyone watched as Stella propped her chin on one hand and pped the table with the other . " Nope , not curious at all . " Everyone was disappointed to hear that .
