Stella glanced at him and smiled lightly. "I think I said everything I needed to say to you already. What are you doing here? Trying to get back at Anna? Do you believe everything she says?"
Monroe didn't know why he showed up there. He saw Stella standing alone, looking barely over 80 pounds. From behind, she looked like just a thin line.
She was about 5'6', but she seemed so fragile that even a strong breeze could knock her over. For some reason, seeing her like that made Monroe feel like crying.
He thought maybe he'd lost his mind. He said, "You kept Anna from going home. You made your brother get hit by that truck, and he still hasn't woken up.
"You even pushed your parents to turn against each other. Stella, what you did is going to catch up with you sooner or later."
Stella asked calmly, almost like she was in control of everything, "Is that what she told you?"
It was a strange, indescribable feeling that slowly crept over Monroe, making him feel deep down as if he might have truly wronged her.
Monroe said, "I'll look into it myself."
Then Stella laughed. "Yeah, Mr. Johnson, you're good at investigating. But don't waste your time next time."
Monroe said, "Anna asked me to beg you. Please leave her parents and brother alone. What happened back then wasn't her fault."
Stella didn't say a word. Her cold and indifferent attitude irritated Monroe. It felt like she didn't take him seriously at all.
Monroe was an illegitimate son, but he had taken over the Johnson family's business. His status was solid. Not just Stella, even Jordan had to show him some respect.
But Jordan was stubborn and never gave anyone face. That meant Stella didn't either. Monroe said, "Didn't you hear me?"
Stella's eyes flashed with anger. "Who do you think you are that I'd listen to you?" She looked like she'd lose it if he said another word.
For some reason, Monroe felt uneasy, like he cared too much about her getting mad. Stella said, "For the Johnson family's sake, I'm listening to you this far. That's enough. Now get out of here. Don't let me see you again."
She walked away, putting distance between them. Monroe wanted to follow and explain. He didn't even know why he wanted to explain. But in the end, he gave up.
He turned around. He'd already talked to Stella, but she wouldn't listen. It wasn't his fault. He'd figure out another way. He wouldn't be so soft with her anymore.
Stella went somewhere else and unexpectedly found Anna there. She turned to leave but felt confused. She had no reason to leave. Anna was the one needing to leave.
Stella stood still, saying nothing, acting like Anna wasn't even there. Anna slowly walked up to her. "Stella, I've always wanted to tell you something.
"We're twins. We're even closer than regular sisters. We even have this kind of connection between us. Why did it have to get like this between us?"
Stella didn't move. She just watched Anna, waiting to see what she'd do. Anna went on, "Look at our family. It's all because of how things are between us. If we could just make peace, wouldn't everything be okay?"
Stella smiled faintly. "Make peace? With you?"
Anna reached out to touch her. "I'm serious. I know what you think, but I didn't do it. Please believe me." Stella instinctively pulled away, but Anna suddenly grabbed her tighter. Then there was a splash.
