Stella pressed her lips together and stayed silent.
She remembered how Lindsay had shielded her from the robbers knife during the robbery.
If Lindsay had romantic feelings for Matthew, she might see Stella as a rival. Why would she risk her life to protect her?
Despite Mileys advice, Stella decided to trust that Lindsay wasnt that type of person.
She said, No, I dont think she has. Ive met her a few times. Shes just a simple girl. A few days ago, when we encountered a robber, she got hurt trying to protect me.

Miley fell silent.
Its late. We should hang up and get some sleep. Stella then suggested gently, When Im back in Seamarsh, Ill introduce you to Lindsay. You both have similar personalities. Im sure youll get along.
Miley didnt continue this topic. She hoped she was just overthinking things.
By the way, how is your grandpa now? What did the doctor say?
Stella replied, He hasnt woken up yet, but hes out of danger. He should be okay.
Thats a relief, Miley said softly. Have you thought about convincing your grandpa to come to Seamarsh with you? Hes getting older, and the butler is no different. If something like this happens again, you might not get there in time.
Stella considered Mileys suggestion reasonable. Youre right. Ill talk to him about it.
After chatting with Miley for a while longer, Stella ended the call.
When she returned to Clints bedside, there was still no change in his condition.
After pondering for a moment, Stella tried calling Matthew, but his phone was switched off.

Frowning, Stella hung up the phone and stared blankly at it.
There was a knock on the door. Fernando gently pushed it open and entered the ward. He had also seen the photos online and intended to call Matthew but couldnt reach him, so he came directly to Stella to inform her.
But before he could say anything, he was interrupted.
I already know. Stella spoke quietly.
Fernando was momentarily taken aback, and then asked, Should we delete the news first? Or clarify Lindsays relationship with Mr. Clark?
From the day Lindsay joined Prosperity Group, Fernando had known her true identity.
I arranged the crew today, but I didnt anticipate the tabloids twisting the facts like this. I apologize for any trouble this has caused you, he added.
Stella shook her head and replied, Its not your fault.
Just then, Stellas phone rang. It was Lindsay calling.
