“What if Neville is really there?” Miley asked.
If she didn’t go there in person, she would still continue to overthink the situation.
Stella was taken aback by Miley’s query and let out a deep sigh. “If Neville truly betrays you, rushing there now will only bring you more heartache.”
“I know.” Miley gazed firmly into Stella’s eyes and reiterated her determination. “I want to see for myself.”
She paused, taking a deep breath to steady herself before making her intentions crystal clear. “If it turns out that Neville is indeed with Miss Blakely, I will end our relationship.”
Observing Miley’s unwavering resolve, Stella realized that further persuasion was futile, so she decided to compromise. “I’ll accompany you, but I’ll take the wheel. You can take a break in the car.”
Miley agreed.
The two of them departed. As they drove for a while, Stella noticed that Matthew’s car was tailing them closely.
She was initially taken aback, but then a warm feeling washed over her.
As it turned out, he hadn’t gone home earlier. Instead, he had been waiting outside all along.
It was well past midnight, and the streets were nearly deserted, with only the streetlights illuminating the way. However, the knowledge that Matthew was following them brought a sense of reassurance to Stella.
Stella glanced at Miley, seated beside her, who was gazing out of the window, lost in thought.
Stella’s heart ached, but she didn’t know what to do.

She pursed her lips and reached out her hand to hold Miley’s.
This time, she must protect Miley well, so that she won’t be hurt again.
The car soon arrived in the vicinity of Susie’s villa. Stella pulled over to the side of the road, turned to Miley, and inquired, “What’s your plan?”

Gazing at the dimly lit villa, Miley responded in a hushed tone, “Wait.”
Stella remained silent but messaged Matthew discreetly. “Miley intends to stay here. What’s our next move?”
Matthew quickly replied, “Neville’s phone is off. Let’s wait. If you’re feeling drowsy, feel free to take a nap. I’ll keep watch for you.”
As Stella read the message, she couldn’t help but feel disheartened, unable to reconcile the actions of a CEO like Matthew with what was unfolding before her eyes.
Stella had mixed feelings. She replied “Okay” and put away her phone.
They waited until dawn.
Around seven o’clock in the morning, the gate of the villa finally swung open.
Stella sat up abruptly, and Miley, with anxiety etched on her face, fixated on the villa’s door, silently hoping Neville wouldn’t appear.
