Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 100 A Screenshot of the Money Transfer

“Miss Johansson, did you visit Miles at his mansion last night?” Adele sipped coffee from her cup and asked casually.

Well aware of Adele’s shrewdness, Stella frowned and waited for a little longer, for she wanted to see if Adele knew the truth or was trying to trick her into confessing.

“Why the silence? Do you think I’m tricking you?” Adele chuckled. Still, Stella did not give an answer.

“Last night, when I went to his place, I was initially relieved to find that there were no traces of women around. But when I was leaving, I noticed female footprints on the soil in his garden—the prints were not there when I first arrived. Today, I figure I’d have a casual chat over coffee with you. But after seeing those white round toe loafers of yours, I knew for sure that you had been to his place. Am I right, Miss Johansson?”

Stella almost inhaled sharply at Adele’s detective work. When she was gaping in shock, Adele added, “You’re in the fashion business, and you’re currently in a complicated relationship with your ex-husband. I heard that he gave you a car not long ago. You did not inform Miles about that, did you?”

Cornered, Stella shook her head. She had purposely hidden the fact from Miles because she did not want to complicate matters. She wanted to tell the truth out loud but ultimately decided against it. Since Adele never took a liking to her, no matter how hard she tried to explain, she could not make Adele like her.

“Last time, I had promised to transfer 500,000 to you, Miss Johansson. After I returned to Canada, it so happened that Miles’s dad fell sick, so I forgot about the entire thing. Now that I’m back, I’m reminded of my promise. This afternoon, I will transfer the money to your account. By the way, you know that Miles and Kevin’s daughter are childhood sweethearts, don’t you?” Adele brought up Jasmine out of the blue.

Stella frowned at the mention of another girl. Last time, Adele had used Gabriella to ruin her relationship with Miles. This round, Adele had a new weapon—Jasmine Moore. A strong sense of suspicion arose in Stella. If a man truly loves his girlfriend, why would he get involved with his childhood sweetheart?

Last night, she overheard something about Kevin Moore’s daughter. So, was Adele lying to me when she told me that Gabriella is Miles’s ex-girlfriend?

Ever since Stella learned about Gabriella, she had been flooded by envy to the point of despair.

However, Adele’s words raised suspicion, and Stella started to feel a glimmer of hope for getting back with Miles. It seems that Gabriella isn’t his true love!

When Stella was busy thinking, Adele mistook the silence as acceptance. Before leaving, she said to Stella haughtily, “Just sit back, relax, and wait for my transfer this afternoon.”

Left alone in the cafe, Stella received a WhatsApp message from Jane. ‘Stella, I heard that you’re in Hollowcrest! Do you have time to hang out?’
