She hurriedly asked, "Do you an that you were the one who killed Luna Monroe? Was Dad involved?"
Stella Monroe gave a bitter smile and said, "How could he not be involved? His hatred for Luna Monroe was no less than mine. Back then, the more dazzling Luna Monroe was, the more insignificant he felt. As a man who married into the family, his ambition exceeded everyone else’s. How could he not find every way to get rid of her?"
Sumr Monroe’s forehead veins stood out.
She used great restraint to suppress the emotions roaring inside her, continuing to ask, "So what exactly did you do back then?"
However, Stella Monroe just shook her head and said, "Her death wasn’t that simple. You just need to know that. The rest, I will take to the grave."
Sumr wasn’t satisfied without knowing the details.
Yet no matter how she asked, Stella Monroe kept her lips closed.
Just as Sumr was about to pull a Clarissa Stanton act and pester endlessly, footsteps sounded in the hallway outside the door.
Sumr heard it, imdiately suppressed all her emotions, withdrew her hand from Stella Monroe’s grip, and whispered, "I’ll get you out," before getting up and walking towards the door.
As soon as Sumr opened the door, she saw Henry Stanton about to open it.
At the instant their eyes t, Sumr felt a brief mont of guilt.
She reacted quickly, but the door’s soundproofing wasn’t great. Did Henry Stanton hear anything?
Luckily, Henry Stanton hadn’t heard anything. He just asked strangely, "Why are you still inside?"
Sumr steadied her nerves and said, "Aunt mistook for her sister, so I thought I’d let her stay in her world a little longer and played along as Clarissa. Although she still can’t recognize people, her emotions have stabilized considerably."
Henry Stanton nodded and complinted, "You’re the most understanding one. Even though your aunt scolds you and misunderstands you, you can still calm her down... It’s hard on you, good child."
Sumr shook her head bitterly yet resolutely and said, "It’s what I should do. We’re family, after all. Family should support each other. When I lived in the countryside, the people around always taught this way."
Henry Stanton gave an "Mm" and said, "It’s clear that you were well-taught in the countryside. Soday, we should take so ti to visit where you grew up and thank the couple who raised you."
Sumr’s back stiffened as she carefully observed Henry Stanton’s eyes.
She was afraid Henry Stanton would notice, so she didn’t dare look for too long, but she did see sothing resembling suspicion in them.
Henry Stanton’s suspicions hadn’t fully dissipated!
He’s really a difficult and suspicious person.
The next mont, Henry Stanton said, "For the ti being, stay away from the company."
Sumr nodded and said, "Yes, let’s wait until after my sister’s funeral to discuss anything."
"No..." Henry Stanton cleared his throat and said, "I an, now that you’re married to Young Master Knight, it’s better if you don’t show up at the company. If you really want to learn sothing, I’ll arrange for you to attend a university. The technical school you attended before was really subpar. I’ll find a way to get you into a prestigious school to further your studies and earn a more impressive degree."
Hearing this, Sumr was even more certain that Henry Stanton still feared her.
Though she had Dr. Jason fake as a teacher, her intelligence and learning ability still frightened Henry Stanton.
Henry Stanton continued, "This way, Mrs. Knight will find it easier to accept you. If I’m not mistaken, Mrs. Knight doesn’t know yet about you two getting married, right?"
Sumr nodded and said, "Yes, Damian Knight married without telling his mother."
