Chapter 1916
Aurora's expression changed slightly. "You're not even invited. Why would you go?”
Stella was puzzled. "To do business. She hasn't settled the final payment for the jewelry she ordered.""Are you seriously going to do business on someone else's wedding day? Are you out of your mind?"
At that moment, Stella felt annoyed. "Are you suggesting that | should wait until her ceremony ends and then collect the money?What if she changes her mind and doesn't pay me?"
Aurora became nervous. "Is money all you think about? Why don't you look at-"
She paused and clenched her jaws before she continued," You're already a part of the Saun family. Uncle Wenham is providingyou with everything you need and want. Why are you still so obsessed with making money?"
Stella looked at Aurora, who was behaving strangely. After a brief silence, she said, "Who would complain about having too muchmoney?"
Aurora was taken aback by what she said. Then, she responded through gritted teeth, "I've said what | needed to say. Don'tregret it if something goes wrong!"
Stella's gaze darkened, as she asked, "And, what would go wrong?”Aurora paused and pursed her lips. "I was just making an example."Then, she went upstairs.
Stella watched her receding figure and thought about something.
It was said that the groom was the only son of a deputy bureau chief, and he worked in the tobacco industry. The family hadworked for the government for three generations and was rather prestigious.
Olivia's husband, Erick, was promoted to mayor's secretary at the end of last year. It could be said that he had a bright futureahead. Strictly speaking, this wedding was a marriage of power.
The wives in the social circle were all saying that Olivia had finally made it because her husband had succeeded.Additionally, her daughter had married into such a powerful family. She could finally enjoy a comfortable life in the future.However, since the engagement, Stella had never heard Olivia mention anything about her son-in-law.
That made Stella very curious because Olivia was never a low-profile person. She would want to brag just about anything thatshe thought was good. So, she found it very strange that Olivia never talked about him.
Stella was actually looking forward to this wedding.
Stella had planned to go with Vermont. She figured that Vermont, being a social butterfly, must have known a thing or two aboutthe wedding.
However, when Keegan returned from work, he said he wanted to go with her. After Vermont found out about it, he immediatelytold Keegan to pick up him and Felicity. He intended to save money on fuel for his car.novelbin
While they were on their way to the wedding, Stella got curious again and asked Vermont about Olivia's son-in-law.Sure enough, Vermont knew something that she did not." That guy, Ricky Adam, is really something.”
Stella immediately became interested. "Tell me about him."
Felicity leaned over too. After all, everyone loved to gossip.
Vermont leaned forward and said, "Ricky Adam is a good-for -nothing man who indulges in vice. He used to work in the nationaltax department, but he was caught soliciting prostitution. His parents went to great lengths to cover it up. After he was fired, theAdam family told everyone that he fell ill and needed to take care of his health. About a year after things had quieted down, his
parents got him a job in the tobacco industry through their connections."
Felicity made a disgusted expression. "Eww, a whoremonger."
Stella finally knew why Olivia would not talk about him.Vermont continued, "He really has it easy. There's not much for him to do, yet he's paid very well. But, no matter how
good the job is, it still doesn't change the fact that he's an irresponsible person. He kept slacking off at work and missed out ontwo promotions because he wouldn't stop skipping work.
"While others had to work their asses off to get a promotion, all he needed to do was show up at work on time.
Unfortunately, that was something that he found difficult to do. His family has held significant official positions for twogenerations. If he had put in a bit of effort, he would've achieved great things. But, he got addicted to that kind of stuff."
Vermont gestured, and everyone understood what he meant.Ricky was a drug addict.
"His family got fed up and locked him at home for rehabilitation. But, it's not easy to quit that kind of stuff, especially for someonelike him who has zero self-control. So, after being locked up for a while, he was released. Then, something even moreoutrageous happened.
"His family purposely hired a doctor to administer daily injections for him to ensure that he wouldn't have an episode in public. Hemight look like a normal person, but he has ruined his own body. He can't even perform sexual
intercourse. His parents knew that he was hopeless, so they wanted to have a grandchild, hoping to carry on the Adam familybloodline.
"A lot of people know about this in their social circle. | have no idea why Erick would agree to marry off his precious daughter tosuch a mess."
