Chapter 125
“You did your best, but if my her wants something, he must rely on his own ability,” said Stella. She looked at Carine, put on her greatcoat, picked up her things and looked at Nathan. “Shall we?” Nathan nodded.
He paid the bill, hugged her shoulder and left, and nobody looked at Carine again.
Carine looked at their backs and covered her face.
When the waiter came to tidy up, he was surprised to see how Caring looked.
“Stella, I’m not going to let you have a happy life. For my complaint today, I’ll give you double,” said Carine.
Nathan took Stella out of the restaurant by car.
The moment they got into the car, Stella fastened her seat belt and felt her body being embraced in a warm, spacious hug. Nathan used his hand to support the back of her head and hugged her tightly.
“What happened?” Stella was startled.
Nathan didn’t say anything, he just hugged her.
“Do you care what Carine said about me and Victor? I’ve known Victor since I was a child, and in my heart he’s like a brother, friend. It’s not like what Carine said. Could you not doubt me?” Stella remembered Carine’s words from before.
Nathan kissed her cheek and, as before, didn’t let her go.
“I only think about Carine’s words, but I don’t think about your relationship with Victor.”
“What are you thinking about?” Stella was surprised again, and Nathan finally let her go. He looked into her sparkling eyes.
“Carine said that year that, because of your father, you stayed with me…” He paused and continued. “That year you…”
“That year, in your heart, maybe you always thought that because I was with you, I could do anything, right?” Stella pulled her hand away from his and, somewhat provocatively, said.
Stella’s mind went back to that year, four years ago, when there were some problems.
Jorge couldn’t get any money from anyone, so he finally planned something about his daughter.
He liked Carine, but he used Stella. Originally, he just wanted to extort a sum of money from the Collins family, but then she got pregnant because of that night, so he changed his plan.
He insisted that the Collins family take Stella as part of the family and give some compensation to the Cassano family.
Nathan held Stella’s face, his eyes totally focused on her.
“Tell me what really happened that year.”
Stella looked at him and didn’t look away.
“Do you believe my words?”
“I do, if you tell me it’s the truth!”

She couldn’t deny that, at that moment, her heart was deeply Impacted by his simple words.
She simply understood that Nathan’s trust really mattered a lot to her.
“When I woke up next to you, I knew it was my father’s doing, and just like me, you were also drugged…” Stella tucked her hair behind her ears and said softly.
At that time, the Cassano family organized a banquet, and Nathan had always had a bad feeling about them. Naturally, he didn’t want to take part, but Anna thought that since the Cassano family had been invited and they were both in the same business, it was inevitable that they would respect each other, as perhaps they would have some cooperation later.

Nathan planned to stay there for a short time, feeling that it was a waste of time to participate in this kind of social interaction. The moment he arrived, Jorge pulled him in front of Stella, and as planned, the waiter was pouring the wine for them. Jorge took the glass and passed it to Stella and Nathan.
Stella was also forced to attend the banquet. Before the event, Jorge had hired a make–up artist and stylist to dress her.
She wore a thin gold dress and high heels.
The stylist thought that, to show off her slender legs, she should wear a very sexy but felt a little uncomfortable.
Now, pulled by Jorge, she understood what he meant.

like her?
Besides, it wasn’t the first time Jorge had forced her to meet Nathan. The last time, he had snubbed her, and Stella really didn’t understand why he had such perseverance for anything but tireless efforts!
Shortly after drinking the wine, she began to feel dizzy and a little hot. She felt very uncomfortable, she couldn’t sit still, her heart was pounding, but she couldn’t describe what had happened to her.
“Are you drunk?” Jorge approached and pretended to be concerned. Stella, you rarely drink alcohol, you never get drunk either…”
“Dad, I’m very uncomfortable, I want to go up to my room…”
She tried to get up, but her vision began to blur.
“Okay, if you’re sick, go back to your room to rest. Could you go upstairs like this? I let someone bring you upstairs,” said Jorge, his voice sounding excited, but Stella could no longer think straight as she was in so much pain.
She was taken upstairs and returned to her room.
Although it was summer, the room was cool because of the air conditioning, but she couldn’t understand how her body could be so
hot.
She hurriedly took off her dress and threw it on the carpet. Then she climbed into bed.
Because she felt uncomfortable all the time, she really couldn’t sleep However, she knew that her consciousness and thin already gradually becoming confused. When she looked at things, they turned into overlapping images.
