Chapter 1460
Jaylene shook her head, as she held Darcie’s hand and struggled to sit up. Then, she looked at Stella.
“Stella, I’m sorry. Although it wasn’t intentional, I know that you almost got into trouble because of themakeup artist. You might not believe anything I say, but I would still like to apologize to you. I’m sorry.”
She bowed at Stella after saying those words, and tears welled up in her eyes when she raised herhead back up.
“I may not be dad’s biological daughter, but he raised me since I was a child. I’ve seen how much hemissed you with my own eyes. I hope more than anyone that the banquet can be held smoothly so thatDad’s wish can finally come true. I’ll never be able to forgive myself if I’m the reason why the banquetwent wrong.”
After saying that, she got up and knelt on the bed, facing Wenham. She paid no attention to the needleon her face, as she said, “Dad, I’m sorry. I honestly had no idea that Michael was Stella’s makeupartist. I would’ve never hired him no matter what if I had known. I’m the reason why Stella could not geta makeup artist for the banquet. Please punish me.”
Stella pursed her lips.
On the other hand, Wenham had not found out what exactly happened.
Then, Stella said, “Dad, it’s my fault. Michael was the one who stood me up and caused me the troubleof getting him replaced at the last minute. I only found out that he accepted Jaylene’s booking duringthe banquet and realized that he is a dishonorable person who prioritized people with a background.
“I think we should just forget it. We’re all family, after all.
Let’s not make a fuss over this. Jaylene was feeling very guilty over it, and she could not wait to clarifythings with me. In the end, she got so agitated that she fell ill.”
Stella replied in a quivered voice, as tears fell out of her eyes like beads on a broken string. “I was soworried on the way here, and I couldn’t imagine what I would do if anything bad happened to Jaylene.It’s just a small matter anyway. It wouldn’t matter if Jaylene did that intentionally or not since everythinghad already happened, and the banquet ended smoothly. Why did I go after Michael to demand anexplanation and make Jaylene misunderstand…”
Perhaps Jaylene was shocked by how bitchy Stella sounded, and for a moment, she forgot to cry.
Meanwhile, Stella’s tears continued to stream from her eyes. She was a professional in doing that, afterall.
“If I had known that this would cause Jaylene to fall sick, I would’ve just kept everything to myself andnever mentioned a word to her.”novelbin
Wenham’s heart broke when he saw his precious daughter shedding tears.
Jaylene had always been a sensitive person and would cry
just about anything. She would overthink a simple phrase that another person said and get upset overit.
And people were more likely to place their trust in those who mattered to them, so Wenham hadcomplete faith in what Stella said.
“You were stood up, so it’s perfectly reasonable for you to demand an explanation. Jaylene has alwaysbeen a
sensitive person who tends to overthink things anyway. It’s not your fault.”
Jaylene’s face turned even paler. She clenched her fingers so tightly that they turned white.
“Stella,” Darcie spoke. Although her eyes were still a little red, her expression had returned to normal. “Ilost control just now. Jaylene is my only child, and she’s very fragile. I get very anxious whenever shefalls sick, so I failed to fully understand what happened.
“Jaylene could’ve handled this better, and she should’ve ensured that everything was in order beforechoosing a makeup artist for herself. She’ll be the only person to blame if the banquet can’t be heldsmoothly because of this. It’s only right for her to apologize.”
She took off her platinum bangle, as she spoke. “Stella, please accept this and forgive Jaylene. I hopeyou’ll like it.”
Clearly, Darcie was trying to patch things up.
If they were to pursue the matter further and it turned out that Jaylene had done it intentionally, thingswould become even worse. At that point, Wenham would definitely see
Jaylene differently, and her image in his heart would be tarnished. So, Darcie figured that stoppingeverything there was the best way to handle the situation.
But… would Stella be satisfied with just a bangle? 3
