“No, I’m not. However, | have something to ask you.”
‘What is this about?’ Stella thought to herself.
“Stella, are you close with Mr. Snyder?”
“No,” Stella said instantly without hesitating.
She was not lying when she said that. But, more specifically, she was not close with anyone in Keegan’s social circle.
That was because Keegan rarely brought her to meet his friends. Perhaps he only did that because he knew their marriagewould not last, so he did not want to spend too much effort to let her blend in.
‘Why would he suddenly be interested in Vermont?’
Stella knew the answer to that very soon after.
Albert said, “Sophia told me she met you when she was shopping in a jewelry store with her friend yesterday.”Stella squinted and said flatly, “Yeah, she did. What about it?”
“You know her friend spent thirty million on a bangle, too, right?”
“Yeah.” Stella said before she said sarcastically, “Ms. Anne has excellent taste. | heard that the bangle was the best one that theshop had. ”
Albert kept quiet for a while before he said, “Ms. Anne doesn’t want that bangle anymore, but she’s unable to return it. | heardthat the shop belongs to Mr. Snyder, and he’s a friend of Keegan, right? Could you do me a favor and ask him if he can let Ms.Anne return it?”
‘She spent thirty million just to show off for a few seconds. | guess she’s regretting it now that she can finally think clearly.’ Stellathought to herself.
Stella did not expect that Xianna would ask for Albert's help.There was just no reason for her to help them since she plotted it to happen.
“Dad, you're a businessman too. It’s common knowledge that one can only return the goods if it’s defective. All businesses wouldclose down if every customer like Ms. Anne could return something just because they changed their minds.”
“You're right, but I’m sure you can work something out. Would you let Keegan know what happened so he can talk to Mr. Snyderabout it? I’m sure that it wouldn’t be very troublesome for him to do so.”
Stella did not want to help, so she lied, “Okay then. I'll talk to Keegan about it. However, | can’t guarantee if Vermont would dohim this favor or not.”
Albert was relieved. “Mr. Snyder is such a good friend to Keegan. I’m sure that he will.”
The call became awkward after the conversation ended, so Albert tried to keep it going,” How’s your mother recently?”
“She's fine.” Stella paused before continuing, “However, the doctor told us to talk to her about the past more often to stimulateher. You should go over and chat with her when you're free because you're the person that my mother cared about the most.”
Albert said perfunctorily, “I can’t find time at all these days. I'll pay your mother a few days later when I’m on leave.”
It was not Stella’s first time listening to Albert’s nonsense. His last visit to the hospital was a year ago, and he only went there topose because one of Stella’s grandfather’s friends wanted to see Rainee.
Albert was a heartless and cruel man However, Stella’s grandfather was a very good judge of character. There was no way hewould allow his daughter to marry someone like him.
Something popped into Stella’s head after she hung up before she dialed Vermont's number.novelbin
