Chapter 1052 Stella looked at the recorder on the table and asked, “ Why are you telling me all these?”
Michael thought for a while, then sighed and said, “ Although you hate me to the core and want Diana to know
about those mistakes I made when I was young and brazen, I am still your uncle. And Roger’s as well. He was not
your parents’ biological son but watching him grow up, I still have some feelings for him …”
“There is no need to say such grandiose things !” Stella snapped; her voice cold and stiff. “What exactly do you
want to say? Just say it.”
Michael stared into her eyes, knowing that she had reached the limit of repression.
He picked up his coffee and took an unhurried sip. “It’s nothing. I’m just thinking that I spent so much time finding
him, yet all he wants to do is to end himself, so it seems my purpose is defeated…”
She remained silent when her face grew paler and paler until it almost became transparent.

He sighed lightly. “Before Roger died, he asked me to do
something. If you promise me that you will keep my secret and never tell Diana about it, I will tell you. How does
that sound?” Stella glared at him coldly. “Are you threatening me?” “Of course not. This is just an exchange. It’s fair
and square, isn’t it?”

Michael looked at her in anticipation. “As long as you promise me, it will be good for both of us. Stella, as long as
you say yes, you will get what you want, my Diana will forever be a happy woman, and none will be the wiser.”

She sneered. “But that’s just a lie.”
“Even if it is, what is wrong with living under the lie of happiness?”
Stella withdrew her hands and put them on the table, clasping them tightly.
After a while, she said hoarsely, “Okay, I promise you.”
Michael was instantly relieved. “Remember our promise.”
He stood up and was about to leave when Stella called out to him. “Did you forget something?”
“No, I didn’t.”
Michael swept a glance at her. “It’s your birthday in two days. Roger has prepared a birthday present for you.”
He paused momentarily and said, “He said that it was the
last thing he could do for you before he died. On your birthday, right at midnight, look up to the sky, and you will
see the gift he gave you.”
After he said that, he chuckled. “If I didn’t know that you two shared such strong sibling relationships, I would have

Stella’s eyes fluttered , but her face remained calm. “Is that all?”
He nodded. “That’s all.”
After he left, Stella was the only one who remained in the private room.
She just sat there motionlessly.
The recorder was still on the table. She wanted to pick it up and listen to it but failed to gather the courage to do
so.
Perhaps, when grief reached a certain degree, it would turn into cowardice.
She just wanted to escape at this very moment.
Stella took a deep breath. Finally, she played the recorder with her trembling hand
“Sister, when you are listening to this, I should have been no longer alive…”
After hearing the first sentence, Stella couldn’t help
sobbing She shut her eyes as tightly as she could, but tears still flowed out.
“Actually, I always knew that Weston was using me to threaten you… When you chased me away, it is because you
didn’t want to get me involved , right? I knew it all along.”
