Chapter 552

Stella refused to listen to him.

Immersed in her illusions, the isolation and helplessness she felt were unforgettable.

Maybe it was because of the incident in the bar that she was too worried about Roger that her
memories of her predicament surfaced.

“Grandma, it’s Uncle Michael who did something wrong. Instead of blaming me, why don’t you blame
the wrong person instead?”

The roommate immediately looked aggrieved. Her eyes were red when she said, “I didn’t want to come
at first. But thinking that Stella was alone here, I came to accompany her. How would I know that I
would meet Michael ? I didn’t know what happened to me. Perhaps I lost my mind. I just couldn’t refuse
him when I saw him…”

Grandma Sealey’s face turned gloomy the moment she heard that.’“Both Michael and Diana are at
fault. If it wasn’t for her inability to control her man, he wouldn’t have been seduced by a young
woman!”

Grandpa Sealey, who was beside her, echoed, “Indeed, it was your aunt who failed to please her man.
So stop standing up for her. We are at your parents’ funeral…”

Apparently, they knew that it was the funeral!

Stella clenched her fists.

She was just turned eighteen, the age of adulthood, and her parents died in a plane crash…



The immense shock had even caused Roger to fall sick. Now, she was left alone to face it.

She thought that her relatives would be her support, but out of her expectation, she discovered such a
scandal.

“But Aunt Diana has been very good to us, and she always

Stella’s parents were very close to Diana, a very gentle and elegant woman. She clearly had a good
relationship with Micheal. Why did it turn out like this?

:



“She becomes a part of the family after she is married to Michael, and she is obligated to be good to
us. Is it really necessary to bring this up?”

Annoyed, Grandma Sealey interrupted her, “Anyway, this is no big deal, so don’t tell Diana about this. It
is your parents’ funeral today, and I don’t want to make it sound too bad!”

Before Stella had time to recover from the shock of losing both her parents, she was shocked again by
the stark difference in the behavior of these relatives.

“You guys never used to be like this.”

“That’s not true!” Grandpa Sealey also snapped. “I know you

parents are gone. There is no point in dwelling on those meaningless things. From now on, you have to
take up the responsibilities of the family, so don’t embarrass us, okay?”

The embarrassment they meant would be the action of her exposing the scandal of the family.



Stella’s parents were both professors. Since she was young, she was taught to be honest and that
making mistakes wasn’t a scary thing. However, she also had to bear the consequences. She should
also never run away from her mistake, let alone cover it.

Being educated that way, she had always thought that the people around her would think the same.

But now, she discovered that she was actually living in a world that her parents had worked so hard to
hide.

She and Roger had been living in a utopia they created, one that shielded them from the wind and rain.
They were flowers in a greenhouse that had never been trampled by storms. Hence, a tiny, ugly truth
was enough to totally confuse her.

They were obviously her most trusted relatives, so why did it become like this?

She looked at the few people in front of her, and she instantly grew up.
