When Love Comes Late
Chapter 961

Stella quickly grabbed the handrail to steady herself, and once stable, she turned to Miley with concern.

“Are you alright?” Stella asked, reaching for Miley’s arm.

Miley’s hands trembled from the scare, but she managed a small nod.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” she replied, trying to sound composed.

They were lucky to escape with just a few minor scr@pes.

Looking up, Stella’s gaze fell on a woman in a hat leaving the escalator.

The silhouette was strikingly familiar, and Stella’s brow furrowed in recognition.

It was Mina.

Stella recalled the recent court day vividly.

She had testified about Mina’s aggression towards her.

And with Mina now out on bail, Stella’s thoughts darkened.

This had to be an act of spite.

“Why would the escalator just stop like that? There’s no way it’s a coincidence that the escalator had a malfunction.

We need to replace the person responsible,” Miley said, her voice laced with anger as she clung to Stella’s hand, cautiously making their way out of the escalator.

“It was Mina.

” Stella’s reply was calm but frosty.

“Mina?” Miley echoed, surprised.

Stella nodded, sharing the history of bad blood between her and Mina.

“Damn it! Is she trying to kill you?” Miley rarely cursed, but her anger was palpable.

“We can’t let her get away with this.

Let’s get the security footage and take it to the police!”

She was ready to head to the security office, but Stella gently held her back.

“Let it go.

I’m feeling too good today to let her ruin it.

Let’s not stoop to her level, at least not now.

”

“Stella!”

Stella offered a comforting smile and said, “I’ll stay alert.

She won’t have the chance to harm me again.

”

Mina had made a grave mistake, enough to warrant imprisonment.

Recalling Farris’ worn expression from his recent visit, she chose to forgive Mina for his sake.

“Let’s go shopping instead,” Stella suggested, smoothly shifting the conversation.
