Beyond the Divorce

When I saw Grayson's hesitant demeanor, I guessed what it was about. "Spill it. Is it related to me?"

"I found Stella after the Pierce family had trouble back then," Grayson said, looking at me with some hesitation.

My heart skipped a beat, and I looked at Grayson. His expression made me curious and reinforced my belief that this was definitely not a simple clue.

"You mean the real Stella?" I asked eagerly. "Tell me, quick. I want to hear it. This will be useful."

Grayson looked at me, nodded firmly, and said, "Okay.

"After Lucille passed away, Celine forced Stella to go to an orphanage. At that time, Atlas refused to agree no matter what. He didn't want to be separated from Stella.

They just said they sent her to an orphanage, but no one knew where she had been sent."

My heart suddenly ached.

"Atlas cried and screamed after Stella was taken away. Finally, he developed a high fever and was taken away by the Lively family. Later, David stepped in and took ATL Empire back, officially entrusting it to Celine to manage."

"David is a confused fool. All the disasters in the Pierce family started because of him." I muttered to myself.
