The moment Maynard returned to his family, the Quinn family had shouldered all Stella's parents' medical needs. They also cleared their debts and let them off. Stella thought things went back to 'normal'. It was just that she had to get used to life without him, the man she thought she would live with for the rest of her life.
However, just two weeks after the breakup, her mother perished. And as if life was having fun screwing her life, her father passed just a month later. Not just that, there was this girl who claimed to be the person Maynard was dating, and she endlessly harassed Stella.
This girl who was rich enough to live life without worrying about anything never had the proper decorum. First, she came just right after Stella's father's funeral, calling her names and threatening her. At first, because of the loss, Stella didn't back down and also threw bold statements that seemed to only anger the woman.
