Chapter 651
“Yeah, I received my pay and wanted to treat you to something nice since you’re about to go overseas.” She went
on hesitantly, “Why don’t we invite Riley to join us? By way of expressing my thanks to her.” “No need,” Roger
shrugged. Stella had already made reservations at the restaurant. After placing her order, she thought about it
before saying solemnly to Roger, “If you really don’t like Riley and see no possibility of being with her, find a time
and make things clear with her. The longer you drag things out, the greater the hurt you’ll cause her. Do you
understand?”
Roger furrowed his brows. “Why do you keep talking to me about her? I’m about to go overseas. Let’s not talk
about outsiders!” Stella reached out to rub her head. “You brat! Do you really know that you’re going overseas
soon? Now that you’re all grown up, I can’t always be by your side, and you’ll get to know new people. Riley will be
going with you on your studies abroad. It is imperative that you handle your relationship with her, leave no regrets
or hurt her, do you get me?”

He was saying it as a casual remark, but Stella’s face fell immediately. “Don’t you even think about it! Do you think
you’re still a child, making such immature remarks whenever you please? Don’t joke about your future!”

Roger didn’t expect her to be so agitated. He lowered his head and said, “Okay, I get you…” Stella didn’t know how
sincere he was. She pondered about it for a moment and eventually decided to tell him, “I met Michael two days
ago…” “What?” Roger’s eyes widened, and he almost stood up.“ Isn’t he supposed to be overseas?”
“Yes, he recently came back,” Stella pressed his shoulders to sit him back down. “Don’t panic. Hear me out. I met
him at a shopping mall yesterday, and he was with Diana. They recognized me at first, but I told them I wasn’t
Stella Sealey, but Ella Steele. They barely believed me, though. I think Michael has his doubts.”
Roger began to get worried. “Whatever it is, it is rather unbelievable that there are two people who look so alike.”
“Looking similar might be something that could be overlooked, but if they see you in Fern City, then they would
never believe me…”
That was what worried Stella the most. Roger was still rather hesitant. “So what if Michael knew? We’ve cut all ties
with him a long…”
“Do you remember how he treated us back then?”
Roger fell silent the moment Stella asked him the question.
Of course, it was still in his mind. Back then, their parents died in a plane crash, and he was bedridden from the
trauma. Stella was left to host the funeral alone and clean up the Sealey family’s mess.
As young and ignorant children who had barely mingled with society, they were completely taken advantage of by
the older family members, who even chased them out of the family. They did not even leave them a single cent for
Roger’s medical bills. They wouldn’t have been so impoverished and destitute if it weren’t for Michael. They
wouldn’t have had to bow down to Weston Ford just so they could settle the medical bills, and they wouldn’t have
found themselves in their current, sorry plight.
Past memories came flooding back into Roger’s mind, making hatred arise in his heart. “If I were to see him in the
flesh, I certainly won’t spare him!”

In retrospect, he had been so nurturing to them when their father was still alive.
Stella shook her head. “He’s doing very well now. You
should try your best to avoid appearing before him. If he were to know that I am Stella Sealey, he would surely find
a way to deal with us.”
Since they had decided to start afresh, they shouldn’t get involved with anyone from their past.
Roger understood her rationale and nodded. He was about to open his mouth to speak when he saw two people
entering the front corridor. His eyes froze as he trembled violently.
“What’s the matter?” Stella followed his gaze and was about to turn her head when Roger reached out to turn her
head around. “Nothing, don’t look!”
But it was too late.
Stella saw Weston and Guinevere at the entrance.
He was in an impeccably sleek suit, making him look all tall and handsome, while the stunning woman next to him
latched onto his arm. They were like a match made in heaven.
