Chapter 2124

    With a reassuring smile, Ste responded, “Let’s not dwell on the past.


    What’s done is done.


    ”


    Miley nodded, absorbing Ste’s calm demeanor.


    “You’re absolutely right.


    Joann got what she deserved.


    Now that you have Matthew and the Lowell family in your corner, nobody will dare touch you again.


    ”


    Ste offered a genuine smile in return.


    Changing the subject, Miley added, “I also heard the Crawford family business is falling apart.


    It seems like nobody cares about Joann or her brother anymore.


    ”


    Ste appeared unaffected by the news.


    Her focus had not been on the Crawford family’s downfall.


    She trusted Matthew to handle the situation.


    After waking up, the Lowell family’s visit had upied all her energy, leaving her with little capacity to worry about anything else.


    She said without a hint of emotion, “The Lowell family has publicly announced the cancetion of Bet’s engagement to Joann.


    It’s all Joann’s doing.


    She might have remained a richdy if she hadn’t done all those things.


    I have no pity for her.


    ”

    Miley scoffed, her voice dripping with scorn, “No one should feel sorry for her.


    She’s not just foolish.


    She’s downright malicious.


    Who in their right mind would associate with someone like that?”


    A thought struck Miley, altering her demeanor.


    “You know, Lindsay and Joann were close once.


    Could Lindsay have been pulling the strings behind the scenes?”


    Ste’s brow furrowed as she pondered the possibility.


    Miley continued, “Think about it.


    Joann might appear clueless, but Lindsay? She’s a whole different story.


    ”


    Ste stayed quiet.


    If there was something more to uncover, surely Joann wouldn’t have kept it buried.


    With a hint of anxiety, Miley changed the subject.


    “Speaking of Lindsay, has she been behaving herselftely? Has she done anything to hurt you?”


    Ste shook her head, her voice clear and sincere.


    “Lindsay’s gone back to her family.


    ”


    Miley let out a relieved sigh before probing further, “When’s sheing back?”


    “I really don’t know,” Ste responded, her tone closing off the topic.


    She swiftly changed the subject.


    “Enough about me, though.


    What about you and Neville? When are you two tying the knot?”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    At this, Miley sighed heavily, her expression turning grave.


    “I’m not ready to get married yet.


    ”


    Puzzled, Ste pressed on.


    “What’s the matter? Is there someone in the Pierce family opposing your rtionship?”


    Struggling to articte her feelings, Miley replied with a hint of disappointment, “Actually, dating isn’t bad.


    It’s just about two people.


    But marriage? It’s tooplex and burdensome.


    ”


    Hearing this, Ste realized something was off but understood Miley preferred not to go into details.


    She reassured her, “It’s okay.


    Don’t overthink it.


    Let things happen as they will.


    Marriage can be full of surprises.


    For example, I didn’t know what my husband looked like when I registered my marriage, and now Matthew and I are enjoying a wonderful life together.


    ”


    Miley smiled and replied, “Okay, I understand.


    ”


    Observing Miley, Ste spoke gently.


    “And remember, no matter what, I’ll always be here for you.


    There’s no need to be scared.


    ”


    Miley felt a surge of affection.


    She embraced Ste, saying, “I know you’re the best to me.


    ”


    They were ready to leave the hot spring pool.
