Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 253: Chapter 253

Stella slowly turned to Jordan and asked softly, "Jordan, do you think someone could kill their own family?"
Jordan squeezed her hand. "Nothing is impossible. We just don't want to accept it."
She said, "I know, I don't want to accept it, and I can't. I just don't understand. How could she do this? First to me, and then to Eleanor, and now she's even abandoned her own parents.
"Just to make it look like she has nothing to do with any of this, she's willing to drag innocent people into it. How could she?"
Seeing her on the verge of breaking down, Jordan asked, "Did you already figure it out?"
Stella shook her head. "She's too cunning. We were all taken in by her appearance. I only found out that Emily was the last person Eleanor called. I couldn't find anything else."
Jordan knew that if even Stella, with her computer skills, couldn't find anything, then the person behind this must know her extremely well.
Stella thought, 'Who could know me that well? Of course, it's Anna.' They were twins, with that uncanny twin telepathy. Whatever Stella thought of, Anna probably thought of it first.
Anna had always been lurking in the shadows, watching Stella closely. But Stella had never seen her as a threat, and that was exactly where things went wrong.
"Don't worry," Jordan said gently. "Justice has a long arm, and no one can escape it forever. Sooner or later, she'll have to pay for everything she's done."
Stella nodded. She hadn't been in a good place just now. Even though she tried to pull herself together every day, whenever Eleanor was brought up, her heart still ached.
Jordan couldn't keep holding her hand; he needed to focus on driving. When he dropped her off at the Hayes Group, he asked, a little worried, "Will you be alright?"
Stella wiped her face with a tissue and felt better. "I'm fine, Jordan. Don't worry about me. I've got a ton of work waiting for me at the office. This company was Grandparents' life's work. No matter what, I have to hold things together."
"Go on." Jordan ruffled her hair.
As she was about to get out of the car, Stella asked, "Jordan, how did you get through it when you lost your whole family?"
Jordan stiffened. Stella apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean to poke at your scars. I just wanted to see if I could learn something from you."
"Don't try to learn from me. It's not your way," Jordan said quietly.
"I understand." Just as she was about to step out, Jordan reached out and grabbed her arm.
"I was just a kid back then," he said quietly. "After I drank myself into a stupor for three days and nights, I finally sobered up. I realized I couldn't just let myself fall apart like that.
"I had to pick myself up and live on for them. Even if there was no one left to have my back, I still had to keep going."
Stella looked at him and Jordan stared at her. He said, "But the most important thing was that I met you."
Stella was surprised. "You..."
Jordan nodded. "Yes. That was when I learned how to use the internet. I'd study like crazy during the day, but at night, when I couldn't sleep and didn't want to study, I just drifted around online.
"Guess it was fate or something. Meeting you brought some light into my life. Stella, you helped me through those tough times back then. Now, I can help you through yours."
Stella understood and nodded. "Alright, I'll head in now," Stella said. Jordan nodded again.
