RedNovelChapter 239:
Stella hadn't eaten much when a servant cin from outside. He said, “Miss Richard, Miss Sophia is here.”
Stella was speechless.
It was well known that in the past, when they were still in the Richard family, the two of them had little to do with
each other. It was only because Tristan was around that their relationship wasn’t completely severed. However, if
Tristan or the other Richard family members weren't there, the relationship between the two sisters was always
strained.
What's more, Sophia had never been kind to her. Stella thought there was no way to refuse her visit.
Suddenly, there was a noise at the door...
“Oh, Stella, you're so comfortable. Lying in bed and getting served breakfast. Anyone who doesn’t know better
would think you're land can’t get out of bed!” Sophia's sharp voice pierced the room.
As usual, Stella was used to it.
The conflict between Sophia and Stella hadn't been a recent development; it had been brewing for years, so of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcourse, it couldn't be resolved overnight.
Stella pursed her lips and said, “Why do you have the tto chere, Sophia? | don’t remember inviting
you.”
Although Sophia was her sister, Stella never addressed her as “Sister.”
It was because of Sophia and Isabella that her family had been torn apart.
So, the relationship between them was as cold as one would expect.

Sophia looked at her with a cold smile. “Oh, Stella, since when did we becso estranged? Do | need an
invitation to csee you?”
She smiled, but it was fake, a thin mask barely hiding the hostility between them.
Stella had long since been disappointed in their relationship.
Sometimes, she even hated David because of Sophia.
If it hadn't been for David and Isabella having an illegitimate daughter and hiding it from her and her mother,
her family would have been united, and her mother wouldn't have met such a tragic end. Even now, she didn’t
know where the rumors about her mother had cfrom.
So, Stella had always been angry with them, and her relationship with David was strained.
At the stime, Sophia also felt uncomfortable when she saw Stella. It wasn't just because Stella had stayed in
the Richard family for so many years, but also because of Tristan...
Whenever the two sisters argued, Tristan, their older brother, always sided with Stella, this “annoying sister.”
To make things worse, Sophia and Stella weren't even related by blood, which made Sophia despise her even
more.
Tristan’s involvement was only part of the reason. More importantly, Sophia had never wanted Stella to stay in
the Richard family since childhood. She believed that Stella's presence had changed their family dynamic.
As Stella quietly ate her breakfast, she kept her head down, saying nothing.
Sophia, acting like the mistress of the house, waved to the servants on both sides, motioning for them to leave.
“You can go now. | have something to discuss with my sister,” she said with that fake smile, but at least she

Stella was already used to that fake smile.
The servants looked toward Stella for direction.
However, before she could respond, they left the room together.
To them, Sophia had a longer history with RK than Stella did. Sophia and RK had known each other long before
Stella married him.
Moreover, the relationship between Sophia and RK had always seemed very close. Sophia visited the RK mansion
just as often as Stella did, if not more. Everyone believed that Sophia was the woman in RK’s heart, not Stella.
Even Stella thought so.
Otherwise, how could RK be so publicly close to Sophia on several occasions?
As Sophia spoke, she walked over to Stella, looking around the room with eyes that held even more hostility than
before.
The gentleness and politeness Sophia showed to outsiders vanished. Her demeanor had shifted, and she looked
cold and calculating.
Stella turned her head away, clearly unhappy, and asked, “What are you doing here?”
