Chapter 619
Harper, who was sitting on the yoga mat in the living room, wiped the sweat off her forehead with a
towel and asked Taya, “Who is
he?”
Harper had never met Eric before, so naturally she didn’t know
who he was. Taya explained, “He is Stella’s brother…”
Taya remembered that Stella had mentioned that Eric was her
nominal brother, but they didn’t have any blood relation. Their
relationship was quite complicated.
Harper looked Taya up and down, and a hint of nervousness
appeared in her eyes, “Is Stella’s brother interested in you?”
It was late at night, and if Stella’s brother came to find Taya with
the wrong intentions, it would not end well if it was known by
Griffon.
Taya smiled and took the milk that the housekeeper brought. She
handed it to Harper and replied, “Eric is Stella’s man, don’t think
too much about it.”
Harper had just taken a sip of milk and almost choked herself.

“Aren’t they siblings?”
After teasing Harper, laya laughed and walked out of the villa.
“Dr. Sinclair, it’s so late now. Is there something you need from
me?”
Eric was smoking when he saw her come out. He put out his cigarette and threw it in the trash can.
“Is Stella here with you?”
Stella didn’t have many friends. The only ones she was close to
were Taya and Harper.
Eric had been looking for her for almost half a month but couldn’t find her. He could only come to Taya
and ask.
Taya shook her head. “No, she’s not here.”
Eric’s handsome face was full of anxiety. “Do you know where she
went?”
Taya looked puzzled and replied, “Stella went abroad for a
seminar. Don’t you know?”
Eric’s expression changed, and his face turned pale. “The seminar
ended a long time ago, but neither she nor Henry Brown came
back.”
This caught Taya off guard. She didn’t know how to respond. She
could only stare at Eric’s figure shaking in the dim streetlights.
Eric stood in front of Taya for a long time, but eventually didn’t say anything. He turned and walked
away.
Taya looked at his receding figure and murmured, “Dr. Sinclair…”
Eric opened the car door but stopped in his tracks without looking back…
Facing the moonlight and the cool spring breeze of May, he uttered with red eyes, “Do all you women
like to seduce men, then choose to abandon them without hesitation?”
Taya wanted to explain to Eric on Stella’s behalf, but he got into his car, closed the door, and quickly
drove away.
On the day Stella returned, Taya had just finished her medicine. Stella brought new medicine to her
door, as if she had timed it
perfectly.
Taya was sitting in the garden, arranging flowers in a vase and
answering a phone call from Griffon in Washington when she
heard Stella’s voice.
“Taya.”

and looking seductive and charming, and stood up.
“Stella, you’re back?” Taya asked.
Stella smiled and walked over to Taya with a medicine box in her
hand, shaking it twice. “I brought you medicine,” she said.
After Taya thanked her, she asked, “Have you met with Eric? He’s
been looking for you everywhere.”
Stella’s happy expression faded as soon as she heard Eric’s name. “I don’t want to see him,” she
responded.
Taya didn’t ask why and just took the medicine box from her and
placed it on the small garden table.
She had seen Stella and Eric being intimate on several occasions,
but Stella didn’t seem happy. Clearly she was being forced into it.
There must be an indescribable past between them. Since
Stella didn’t say anything, Taya didn’t pry, so as not to touch on
someone else’s sore spot.
Stella didn’t explain much either and changed the subject. “After
taking the medicine for half a month, you can try it out with Alpha
Knight.”
From Taya’s phone on the table, which was in speaker mode,
Griffon’ cold and indifferent voice came through. “What do you want to try?”
