Chapter 1516
As Stella settled into her bed, it did not take long for drowsiness to wash over her. She turned around and took in the boldfragrance that filled the room, as she gradually drifted into slumber.novelbin
She had anticipated her days at the Saun residence to be filled with constant battles, but things were less hectic than shethought. On the surface, everyone seemed to be getting along.
Jaylene, in particular, seemed to treat her like a true sister. One day, it was an invitation for a shopping spree; the next, asuggestion for a new hairstyle. The day after, it was a proposal for a facial or meeting friends for afternoon tea. Jaylene waswarm and affectionate, even though Stella had repeatedly turned down her invitations.
When Jaylene went for facials, she would bring back new products from the beauty salon for Stella. During shopping trips, shewould also return with bags of new clothes for her. Jaylene had gifted her with over ten sets of clothes in just a week. Stella couldnot help but wonder if Jaylene was unaware or if it was intentional, as all the clothes were not in her size.
Stella was tall with a sturdy frame. At just over a hundred pounds, she did not really fit in a size s. However, driven by hercompetitive spirit, she did not want to admit that the clothes were too small.
Stella believed that Jaylene would not be kind to her without a reason, especially since she had essentially taken over TheVelvet, which initially belonged to Jaylene.
Sure enough, news of Jaylene gifting her clothes reached Wenham's ears, painting the picture of a considerate and caring eldersister.
Wenham took a liking to anyone who treated Stella well. So, not long after, he grandly gifted Jaylene a car during dinner. Ofcourse, Stella received one too. But, Jaylene said, "Dad, | don't want a car. | want to take part in Caline's productiondepartment."
Stella was momentarily surprised. 'So, this was her true intention.’
Wenham furrowed his brows. "The production department deals with fragrances, which can be too stimulating. How can youhandle it with your condition?"
‘| consulted a doctor, and she said it's fine as long as | don't come into contact with allergens. | rarely have flare-ups now.”‘Jaylene, you had a flare-up at the last banquet we attended," Stella kindly reminded her.
Jaylene found her annoying. She pursed her lips and said, "That was an accident. It was because | didn't manage my emotionswell. Dad, please let me work there. | really enjoy blending fragrances."
Wenham would not budge. "Life isn't a game, Jaylene. What if something happens and you don't recover? Don't act recklessly."
"Wenham," Darcie, who had been silent until now, spoke up. "Just let Jaylene give it a try. You know she's a stubborn child. She'llnever give up until she gets what she wants. Once she tries and realizes it's not for her, she'll come back on her own."
Seizing the opportunity, Jaylene added, "Dad, please let me do this. I'll find another fragrance company to work at if not Caline.I'll do it even if | have to start from the bottom!" "Dad, since Jaylene is so eager to go, you should let her," Stella suddenly said,surprising everyone by siding with Jaylene.
