Paid To Care, Destined To Conquer Novel

Chapter 434 Trouble was stirring in Jaffina once again. "John, Fabian, let's go," Stella drawled, her voice lazy as she walked forward at an unhurried pace. "Yes!" Fabian answered, sticking close behind her. VPN77 55 vouchers The crowd that had been blocking the doorway scattered to both sides like a tide, automatically making way. As Stella passed, people looked at her with a mix of awe and fear. John followed after her. "Ms. Carter," John spoke up. Stella drawled, "Mm?" "Sophie was 'injured' and taken to the hospital," John said, his voice flat. Stella paused, turning her head.

"Injured?" John nodded. Stella smirked, her long hair flowing as she strolled unhurriedly toward the studio. "They're coming for me." John was stunned. That was exactly what Mr. Gray had said when he heard the news. In the corridor of a private hospital, Aveline was crying her eyes out, hugging her phone and watching the replay of Stella and Callum's show on loop. Dexter was watching too. Leaning against the wall, Dexter's leg, the one Stella had kicked and broken, was throbbing with pain, probably because he'd been standing too long. He was watching the replay too.

The trending topics were blowing up. [She's literally my dream goddess!!] [Five minutes!! Someone tell me which brand that dress is from! Drop the link!] [Forget it, guys! It was sold out before the show even finished. Here's the store's screenshot!] [Doesn't that little Blackie on the hairpin look freakishly real?!] [I legit thought it was gonna move!] 11:21 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 434 : : [Come on, that's from Jaffina Channel! No way that's an actual snake!] [Guys...

Seriously, none of you think she looks familiar?] VPN 17.3 55 vouchers While everyone else was busy chatting about other stuff, one girl, who'd already recognized Stella and was always using VPNs to follow her idols overseas, finally couldn't keep quiet anymore. [???] [???] [???] [Check out Lazybones! Anyone remember now?!] The girl was bursting to spill the tea. [!!!] [!!!] [!!!] Everyone in the comments started lining up, keeping the formation. [Wait, who even is Lazybones?

First she single-handedly shook up the whole fandom, then she went to Tongalia and totally owned Herbal Medicine, and now she's on Jaffina Channel's big show?!] Dexter was surprised. 'That's my sister, Dexter thought, the words echoing in his mind, but he was just so damn annoyed. He couldn't even tell if it was Sophie lying in the ER or if this total trainwreck of a first meeting with his own sister was what had him so worked up. Suddenly, the door swung open from inside, and the doctor stepped out, his brow furrowed. "Doctor, how is she?" Ryker was the first to rush forward.

Aveline was a beat behind, finally putting down her phone and getting up, a little dazed. The doctor shook his head. "The bleeding just won't stop. The blood bank's reserves are already at a critical level. You two should try to prepare yourselves." He softened his tone, clearly trying not to shock them. "What?" Aveline swayed, nearly collapsing. After all, she'd raised Sophie since she was a baby. "What did you just say?" Dexter was stunned, too.

"Doctor, is there any blood left in the bank?" Ryker caught his wife as she nearly collapsed, but before he could finish, the doctor interrupted him. 11:21 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 434 VPN 55 vouchers "Mr. Clinton, Ms. Clinton has a rare blood type. We've pulled every unit of blood available in Jaffina," the doctor said, glancing at the couple. "But it's still nowhere near enough." He let out a sigh. "She's got, at best, two hours left," he added. Aveline just stood there, stunned. Her mind was a complete mess, like scrambled eggs.

"Ryker, Sophie..." she stammered, gripping her husband's sleeve in a panic, her face ghostly pale. Ever since Stella disappeared, Sophie had become her entire reason for living. Those words from the doctor just broke her heart into pieces. 'Blood...' Aveline thought, her mind spinning. Suddenly, Dexter stared down at his leg in a cast, struggling to get the words out. Ryker and Aveline instinctively turned to look at him. "If we can get her more blood, will that save her?" Dexter asked. Ryker and Aveline didn't say a word, just staring at him.

Suddenly, as if struck by the same thought, they both turned to look at Dexter's broken leg. He thought, 'Blood. Stella!!!'Dexter's mouth was parched, and he was feeling more and more agitated inside. He wasn't sure if suggesting this was the right thing to do, but he had to do so. 'Isn't saving a life what matters most?' Dexter thought to himself. 'If it really comes down to it, when Stella gets home, I'll make it up to her. I mean, I'm her brother, right? That should make things okay! Dexter tried to convince himself.

At Jaffina Channel, as Stella made her way down the hall, the staff wearing headsets all saluted her with their gaze, giving her respectful nods as she passed. Soon, she settled back into her seat beside Sebastian. "Sophie can hold on for two more hours," Sebastian's voice was cold and low in Stella's ear. Stella answered, "Okay." Under the table, she absently toyed with Sebastian's big hand. Her long lashes lowered a bit. Only thirty minutes left until the show wrapped up. Suddenly, she gave a lazy smile.

11:21 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 434 Karson and Camden, who caught a glimpse of the scene, both went silent at the same time. VPN 77 55 vouchers That smile made her look even more like a little demoness, cold and emotionless, toying with humanity for her own amusement. Wisps of black mist swirled around her, twisting and curling like a bunch of tiny Blackies, lazily flicking their tongues. Half an hour passed. After all the drama and chaos, the Jaffina Channel gala finally wrapped up.

The clique of Jaffina socialites were surprised to realize that Tallulah, the young mistress of the Reed family, never returned after leaving at intermission. Her seat stayed empty all the way to the very end. "Moon, where are you staying these days? Why not crash at my villa tonight? I'll have my wife cook up something tasty for you!" Karson fussed over Stella as they headed out, afraid she might be cold or hungry. As they were leaving, Karson just kept rambling, clearly worried that Stella might be chilly or go hungry. "Harmony Scenic Area," Stella replied.

Sebastian's handsome face was cold as ever, but he held Lucas, who'd dozed off right after watching Stella's show, securely in one arm. The little guy's plump face was squished against Sebastian's black suit, making him look even cuter. Karson was speechless. Camden didn't know what to say. 'Harmony Scenic Area?!' Karson and Camden's eyes nearly popped out of their heads. 'The only private villa in the whole place?!' They were both completely stunned. 'So that legendary villa actually belongs to Mr. Gray?!' The realization hit them like a truck. Karson felt so wronged.

He thought about his own little two-story house in the government compound, then pictured that insanely luxurious villa oozing with money and status. Tears of envy just started rolling down his cheeks, totally out of control. "I've got something to do tonight," Stella said, changing back into her Denim Kraft exclusive green dress. She lifted her hand, letting Blackie slither back onto her silver hairpin. Karson looked confused. "What is it?" As they strolled out, Stella's long lashes drooped lazily.

"Might have to go give some blood." She said it so offhandedly, like she was chatting about the weather, that the elders didn't even catch anything 11:21 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 434 unusual at first. They just nodded along, even chiming in with a "Sure, sure." There was a brief pause. 'Wait, what?' Karson suddenly stopped in his tracks. "What the heck did you just say?!" His eyes went wide as saucers. "Stella, what did you just say?" Camden was just as shocked, standing there frozen. VPN 7 55 vouchers Stella, meanwhile, was cool as ever, her tone light and breezy.

"Just a paternity test or something like that." Karson was stunned. Camden didn't know what to say. The whole group of industry big shots was stunned. The thought, 'A... A paternity test?!' The shock rippled through the room. "Oh, they're here," Stella said, catching sight of something out of the corner of her eye. Everyone automatically followed her gaze. The back door of a black Bentley, who knew how long it had been sitting there, swung open, and a gorgeous woman with tear-stained eyes stepped out, heading straight for them. It took a second for everyone to register who she was.

Everyone was utterly confused. They wondered, 'Is that... Mrs. Clinton?!' 11:21 Thu, Feb 12 Editorial Board Editorial Board Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
