’However, she didn't. Dahlia and | will never be as close as she and Aurora. She only cares about my emotions because she'sworried about grandma reprimanding her or for the benefit of her own family; it was never simply out of a mother's concern forher child. And it's not that | had never told Dahlia what | like; it's just she had never taken it to heart,’ he thought.
Keegan stared momentarily at the chili crab on his plate. Moments later, he grabbed the plate and dumped it into the trash binbeside him.
Dahlia did not see his actions, but Darcie did. She glanced at Keegan and had a thoughtful expression.
Stella immediately put on a drunk act the moment Marshall opened the door. She wobbled about as if she could not standsteadily.
She even tripped when going through the door. She would have fallen to her feet if Marshall had not caught her in time.Stuart was startled by her "stumble." He hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with her?"
Marshall half-dragged her and said in a low voice, "She had too much to drink."
Stella staggered and shoved him.
"You... You're the one who had too much to drink. I... | can hold my liquor!" she said as she went up and patted Stuart's shoulder.She narrowed her eyes and said through slurred speech, "Stewie. To- Tonight... We shall drink... To our heart's content!"Stuart twitched his eyes. ‘Stewie...’ he thought.
Marshall quickly pulled her over and said in a low voice, "You're drunk and confused; you can't recognize people anymore."Stella continued to act drunk. She struggled around and said, "You're the one who had too much to drink! Stewie is my bro!"Stuart hit a wall.
Tm old enough to be her father!’ he thought.
Marshall put his arms around her shoulders and pulled her back.
"Why don't | send her home first? I'll come back after this."
Stuart said, "You also drank. I'll call my assistant and ask them to come over."
Stella continued putting on an act, "| won't go home! | want to drink with Stuart!"
Stuart wanted to throw her out the window.
"Her behavior after drinking is terrible!’ he thought. He grabbed his phone and started dialing a number.
Stella secretly gave Marshall a thumbs-up.
Before Stuart's call got through, someone opened the door of their private lounge.
Aurora scanned the surroundings and immediately spotted Marshall. She immediately shouted, "Marshall!"
The two of them had their backs faced against the door, so Stella did not see Aurora in person but heard her voice. She couldnot help but curse internally.novelbin
"Fuck. What's Aurora doing here?’ she thought.
Stella was pretending to be drunk, so she was half leaning onto Marshall while he supported her.
‘| know how possessive Aurora is over Marshall. If she sees us, she'll surely throw a huge fit. | normally wouldn't be worriedabout Aurora throwing a fit, but I'm currently acting drunk and can't let anyone see through my act, so I can only keep my act tillthe very end. After all, it'll be awkward if Stuart learns that | pretended to be drunk so | can leave,’ she thought.
The people in the room were all in the entertainment industry. Naturally, none of them knew upper-class socialites like Aurora.When they heard her call for Marshall, they did not pay much mind and merely thought she was someone he knew.
“Marshall, | thought you were working overtime at the law firm."
Aurora said as she walked up to him. Then, she saw the person in his " embrace."
Her expression changed.
“Marshall, what are you doing with her?" her voice turned shrill.
Marshall frowned as if he did not really want to see her. He said icily, "What are you doing here?"Aurora's eyes were filled with jealousy and anger as her gaze fell onto Marshall's hand, holding Stella up."What are you doing with this bitch?!"
Marshall darkened his expression and chided, "Watch your words!"
