Chapter 822
No one knew Vermont’s third wheeling was a nuisance to Keegan.
However, Keegan did force him to watch their lovers’ antics. In actual fact, Keegan and Stella did notsay much between themselves. Not many cheesy lines were said throughout, but the atmosphere wasanother matter. Without saying much, there were still rings of pink bubbles, and he was about to drownin those bubbles.
After a few drinks, Stella got up to go to the washroom. Keegan’s gaze finally landed on Vermont, ‘ Areyou full now?”
“Stop being so smug,” Vermont rolled his eyes at him, ’She kissed you because she likes your face.What correlation is between that and Stella liking you as a person?” Keegan’s expression did notchange, “At least I have the prerequisite for her to like me. Unlike someone who only knows how to lie.”
Vermont was at a loss for words.
‘Where is my sword!’ Vermont screamed in his thoughts.
There were many customers today at The Deli; hence quite a few were queuing for the washroom.When Stella walked past the corridor, she saw an employee of the restaurant hang up a sign. Shenoticed that it was Valentine’s Day today.
‘No wonder there were more customers than usual,’ she thought.
When she entered the bathroom stall, she heard someone outside say,” Sophia, will you attend Ms.Moore’s birthday next week?”
Stella’s movements froze.
‘It can’t be a coincidence, right?’ She thought.
Yet, such a coincidence had happened. Sophia’s voice very swiftly came, “I probably would attend.”
After Stella had been cast out of the Jewell family, Sophia was accepted into the family honorably andwas finally recognized as the daughter of the Jewell family. She was unfamiliar with Molly, but Molly’sstepfather was her uncle. Hence, they have a pretty close relationship. If she did go, the gift she wouldsend could not be too shabby. Her father was not as generous when giving her money recently.
“Let’s go together. Our chauffeur took sick leave, so I’ll need to ride in your car,” the other girl said.
Sophia was slightly disdainful of her best friends. Due to being illegitimate daughters, they had nochoice but to band together. Now that she was a legitimate heiress, she only stayed with them becauseshe enjoyed being the center of attention. However, she did not refuse them just in case they had someuse in the future.
“Sure, I’ll call you then,” Sophia replied.
“Thank you,” her best friend continued to flatter her, “In the past, I used to be with your sister… Ah, thatwould be incorrect. When I played with Stella, I would never get a chance to use her stuff. When Italked with her, she would always be indifferent and carry herself regally. Who knew she was actuallyan illegitimate child.”
Stella kept quiet. She could not remember who the voice owner was and questioned herself, ‘Did shereally hang out with me?’
However, Sophia obviously liked being held on a pedestal and stepping on others.
She could not resist stomping Stella into the abyss and not letting her come back up ever again!
“She was always like that, arrogant,” Sophia commented.
“Luckily, the Kane family had their eyes open and swept her out of their house. I heard that she hadstarted acting in films. Speaking of which, she used to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Kane family.But now, she has to sell her body to earn some money. I really want to see her pathetic state rightnow.”
As she finished speaking, the door to the bathroom stall opened from within. Stella came outexpressionless. She wore simple clothing with only a pair of diamond ear studs to match. She clearlyhad no expensive jewelry on her, but just by standing there, she could make you feel that everythingshe wore was expensive.novelbin
An item of a smaller brand for a few hundred bucks would feel like a branded item when she wore it.
Sophia’s expression froze momentarily, and she thought, ‘What a coincidence it is to meet her here!’
Stella did not even glance at her and was about to walk away after passing through Sophia. Sophiainstead blocked her path, “Stella, long time no see.”
Stella paused her movements and raised her gaze to look over. In the past, Sophia would purposelynot wear nice clothing or expensive jewelry on public occasions to emphasize how terrible Stella was toher. Now, she was wearing all of them.
Her face seemed altered slightly and more beautiful than in the past. Who knew if the previous incidentwas the reason behind her getting plastic surgery. She might have been afraid that it would affect herlife.
