Female Novel
Chapter 184
Chapter 184The ladies in the room looked at Dahlia and Cordelia with different types of gazes as they both walked to the front to meet Irene.
It had been rumored that the mother and daughter in law had a good relationship, but the old lady had never cared for Dahlia likethis in public all these years, not even when her husband was still alive.
On the other hand, Cordelia seemed to love Stella a lot. Keegan lost his father when he was young, which made the old ladypartial to her eldest grandson. So, it was understandable that she loved her eldest grandson’s wife dearly
This alone made all the noble wives and ladies jealous. Every one of them looked glamorous on the surface, but theirrelationship with their in laws was more or less discordant Even if they were well-matched, they could not avoid the frictionbetween mother and daughter in law.
People envied Stella for being doted on by Cordelia, especially since she came from a mediocre background and married intothe family.
At that moment, the talk of the hour, Stella, was quietly negotiating with Keegan. “If | like something and you buy it, it won't bededucted from the one billion dollars you promised, right?”
Keegan’s forehead twitched. “Did Albert deprive you of necessities or something when you were young? Why is money always inyour mind?”
“No, but who wouldn't be thinking about money?” Stella suddenly asked, “How old is Marshall’s aunt? 21Keegan could not keep up with her change of topic but still replied, “She’s two years younger than mom.”“That means she’s in her early fifties. Does she look young?”novelbin
“You've seen her before.”
“No, | haven't.” Stella frowned.
“Remember Mrs. White, who played cards with you last time?”
Stella was surprised and said, “Marshall's aunt is Mrs. White?”
Keegan nodded.
“Oh, she does look really young,” Stella continued. ‘Dahlia has taken good care of herself and looks like she is still in her forties.However, Mrs. White, who is about the same age as her, looks even younger! No wonder she could find a husband who was somuch younger than her.’
Keegan glanced at Stella and said, “Does this have something to do with your liking for money?”
“Don’t you understand? If a woman is well-kept, she could have a young husband. Beauty costs a lot of money, you know. That'swhy | have to save in advance.”
The corner of Keegan's mouth twitched. ‘So, this is why she is so obsessed with money?”
“That bracelet looks good.” Stella tugged at Keegan and said, “Let's go have a look.”
But, Keegan pushed her hand away and said with a dark face, “Go ask your young husband to take a look.” After saying that, heturned around and left.
‘Ugh! That jerk has quite the temper,’ Stella thought, but she ignored him. ‘Since the old lady is here, Keegan would definitely notleave this place without me.’ Stella then turned to look at the jewelry on her own.
The Moore family was indeed a powerful family. The pieces of jewelry present there today were not easy to find. Irene’s ability togather all the families together was enough to show her status in their world.
Stella liked jewelry and crystals, especially jade. After wandering around for a long time, she finally saw a bracelet and fell in lovewith it. The bracelet was in a beautiful shade of green and was relatively thick. Older women generally prefer this style ofbracelet. The price for it was more than one million, which was considered reasonable.
‘Cordelia’s birthday is around the corner. She has never mistreated me since | married into the Kane family. | have to at least gether a gift, even if | won't be able to attend her birthday celebration.’
Stella actually also fell in love with the bracelet that Xianna had bought. She wanted to gift it to Cordelia, but she could not affordit. “This bracelet is just right,’ she thought. Stella stared at the bracelet for a long time, and just as she was about to take it,someone was one step ahead of her and picked it up.
