Female Novel
Chapter 1573
There was no doubt that Stella’s actions were deliberate. She had taken the time to investigate theprices of these gemstone scraps and knew that their raw
materials were of high quality. The price for one bag of scraps was at least 200 -300 thousand dollarshigher than what Chris was selling them for.
Naturally, Stella suspected Chris of taking a cut of the profit. She even sent someone specifically to thefactory to gather information. However, the factory
manager was tight-lipped. He insisted that every batch of material was different,
so the prices varied. He would not even give a final quote until he saw the goods. The manager spoke invague terms the whole time.
As the jewelry store manager, Chris lived in a luxury villa worth over twenty million dollars in Rivera. Hischildren attended prestigious schools; he even had
spare money to support a mistress. All this couldn’t possibly be sustained by his salary alone. His wifewas a full-time homemaker, and their familial background
wasn’t exceptionally affluent. Therefore, Stella was sure that Chris was skimming off their gains.
Unable to find concrete evidence and struggling to break his co-conspirators’ silence, Stella decided toforge her own path. She would personally handle the
recycling, processing, and selling of the scraps herself.
She wondered how long Chris could keep up with his lifestyle with a sixty thousand dollar mortgage andschool fees exceeding thirty thousand monthly.
Stella and Vermont’s e-commerce venture was named FellaCity. Upon learning of the name registeredby Vermont, Stella immediately considered revoking it.
However, Vermont seemed rather pleased by it, “It’s a combination of your name and Felicity’s. It reallyhighlights your friendship!”
“Do you really think it’s a fitting name for a jewelry brand?” Stella could not help but scoff.
“People buy stuff based on quality, not the brand’s name. Besides, it has a ring to it, right, miss bandit?”Vermont turned to Felicity and asked.
Felicity was also visibly dissatisfied, “Oh, wow. You’re so proficient at coming up with names,” she repliedsarcastically.
“Okay. So you don’t like it.” Vermont pondered for a moment. “How about Hallicity?”
“Seriously?” Felicity ground her teeth, “Why in the world does it have to be a combination of our names?”novelbin
Vermont did not know what to say, “I asked for suggestions in the group, and you all said I could choosewhatever. Yet none of you are satisfied now that I’ve
chosen a name. You people are so hard to please,” He grumbled.
Felicity recalled the name Vermont had given his kitten and sighed, “It’s okay. I get that you’re not ascholar. It’s fine if you don’t have a wide range of
vocabulary.”
Her words left Vermont dumbfounded.
Keegan stared at the logo briefly before saying, “Honestly, it doesn’t sound too bad. At least it’s easy toremember.”
Stella pursed her lips and said, “Thanks for the input, honey.”
Keegan was being serious. The unconventional store name quickly attracted a surge of attention.Everyone was curious about what kind of products they were
selling. Furthermore, the host Vermont recruited was skilled at retaining online viewers. They were highlyprofessional and could handle the influx of traffic
during the live stream.
With a diverse range of products offered at exceptionally competitive prices, the business conversionrate was high. After three days, the operation exploded,
and sales revenue grew exponentially.
Vermont gazed at the refreshing transaction notifications in the background, his eyes gleaming witheagerness, “No wonder no one wants to be an actor
anymore. They’d rather become live hosts and sell things online. This is where all the money is at!”
“You’re so money-minded!” said Felicity.
Vermont wrapped his arm around her waist and said, “Baby, once I’ve made enough money for thedowry, we’ll have a grand wedding ceremony. I’ll even
bring you home in a splendid bridal carriage.”
Felicity fell silent and then said, “Stop fooling around!”
FellaCity soared up the jewelry bestsellers list in less than two weeks. After factoring in costs, the profitmargin was still around thirty percent. Stella could
hear the sound of money pouring into her bank account.
That evening, Stella attended an acquaintance’s baby shower with Keegan and had quite a bit to drink.She was feeling a bit light-headed as she walked. She
kept tugging Keegan along and chatted away, “Honey, do you know how much money I’ve maderecently?”
Looking at her rosy cheeks, Keegan’s heart softened. He murmured, “A hundred million dollars?”
“Mmm- No. That’s not it. Take another guess.”
After a moment of thought, Keegan said, “Three hundred thousand dollars?”
“No. Go higher.”
