Female Novel
Chapter 1165
Chapter 1165When Stella heard that Hylda was the one who had booked the venue, she felt it made sense.
Having been Albert's mistress for so many years, Hylda had kept a low-profile. Now, as his lawful wife, it seemed only fitting tomake her wedding a lavish affair.
Olivia grumbled, “During their rehearsal yesterday, Hylda had so many requirements for the setup. Especially with that gazebo,she kept inspecting it repeatedly. It's just a bunch of balloons; | don't understand what's so special about it."
"Gazebo?" Stella thought, ‘It must be the one used during Lancelot Lewie's performance. It isn't even situated at the center of thevenue. What makes it so special?"
Olivia was too sensitive when the topic of a mistress transitioning into an official wife arose. After expressing her frustration, shecouldn't help but say, "Men are despicable. They don't appreciate the ones who treat them well and save them money. They fallhead over heels for women who spend their money recklessly. I've come to realize now, if you have money, spend it on yourselfand your children. If you try to save it for your husband, not only will he not appreciate it, but that money will end up in anotherwoman's pocket. She'll indulge herself with luxurious dresses and handbags!"
Having shared her thoughts, Olivia offered some advice to Stella, saying, "You should be wise. Hold on tightly to
Keegan's wallet. It's more valuable than holding onto him. He's handsome, which increases the likelihood of him beingunfaithful."
Stella took screenshots of several transaction records showing Keegan transferring money to her and sent them to Olivia,proudly boasting, "He usually takes the initiative to give me an allowance.”
Olivia immediately had the urge to block Stella.
Stella continued her bragging, saying, "When looking for a husband, it's better to find someone handsome. If he cheats, at leasthe’s a good-looking man who cheats, rather than an ugly one."
Olivia was left speechless by the taunt. ‘Isn't she mocking me?’ she thought.
Olivia's husband, Erick Chapman, was far from goodlooking. In her younger days, Olivia had suitors who were handsome andfrom good family backgrounds. However, at that time, she was influenced by someone and believed that a man who lookedhonest would be loyal to marriage. She stubbornly insisted on marrying him, even causing a rift with her family.
Even when Erick knelt before Olivia, begging for forgiveness after his infidelity, she genuinely believed he had been seduced byanother woman. She even feared her family would find out and assisted him in concealing his actions. Yet, he continued to cheatrepeatedly.
Olivia realized that she had been blind to find Erick's appearance appealing back then. Now that she was thinking clearly, even aglimpse of his face filled her with disgust.
Olivia silently acknowledged to herself, 'Stella does have a point.’
"Olivia, are you at Dragon Lagoon now?" Stella suddenly called out to Olivia with a touch of affection. Olivia knew that Stellamust have a request because in the past, Stella would only address her as Mrs. Chapman or Ms. Warren.
"I'm on my way there. What's up?" Olivia replied.Stella thought for a moment and said, "Could you carefully inspect the gazebo for me and see if there's anything unusual?"novelbin
Olivia responded, "It's Hylda's own wedding, and she wants it to be grand. She'll definitely inspect it more thoroughly than any of
us."Please, just do it for me," Stella persisted, sensing something odd about Hylda's excessive focus on that area.
“Alright, I'll take another look for you.”
"Thank you, Ms. Warren," Stella expressed her gratitude.
Olivia was left speechless by Stella's change in address.
It was Albert and Hylda's wedding day.
As Keegan emerged wearing a well-tailored suit, Stella stood downstairs, clutching a curling iron and styling her hair.
She was wearing a dark green, body-hugging maxi dress, paired with a vintage-inspired makeup look. She was stunning in thislook, but it didn't quite match her age, especially with her curled hair that resembled the hairstyle of a 90s celebrity.
Keegan surveyed her from head to toe as he stood beside her. He was uncertain of what to say.Observing his reaction in the mirror, Stella posed a question while continuing to style her hair, "Don't you think | look good?"
Keegan shook his head and replied, "You look fantastic.”
