Tristan weiß über den schamlosen Plan ihres Vaters Bescheid

"What should I do with your brother?" Stefan asked, after noticing she hadn't said anything.

Bella took a deep breath and pinched her forehead. Suddenly she felt dizzy at the thought of her family's new scheme—marrying her off to an older man, someone her father's age. Preposterous!

She had never understood why her father was so fixated on arranging a marriage for her. Though she was no longer young, her father still meddled in her life.

How utterly unseemly!

"Don't harm my brother. But do keep an eye on him for me. You know what to do, right? If he harbors ill will towards me, you must let me know, Stefan." She would contend with Henry later; her focus now was on taking action against Laura Kiels.

"Sister, I stumbled upon something appalling in your older brother's chat logs," Stefan's tone of concern was no longer surprising to Bella. She had an inkling of what he might divulge but chose to silently listen on.
