Chapter 978
Stella's eyelids twitched after hearing what Keegan had said. 'Is he drunk already?’ Before anyone from the group could speak, avoice came from behind them, "What are you guys playing that's making Keegan so obsessed?"
The voice sounded familiar. Stella looked over subconsciously and saw a man she recognized in a white suit with Molly on hisarm. The man was also one of Keegan's friends-Howard Campbell. He attended their wedding, but Keegan did not seem to havemuch contact with him.
The last time Stella saw him was at Carter and Lena's wedding. Howard had come over with a drink to strike up a conversation,but Keegan responded dismissively and dragged Stella away.
Stella's attention was on Howard. Suddenly, she realized that someone was staring at her. She looked up and saw Molly sizingher up with a smirk. "Marshall, why didn't you tell the family you have a girlfriend?" Molly asked.
Marshall shot her an unconcerned glance and said, "It's not time yet."
"You should let them know. Don't wait till you wanna marry her to tell them. Wouldn't the relationship be a waste of time if AuntAriel and Uncle Wallace disapproved of her?" Molly uttered.
Stella frowned. 'She's so rude. Though Marshall is the older cousin, she doesn't seem to have much respect for him, judgingfrom her tone of voice. She speaks to him as if she's the older one here. It’s making me a little uncomfortable.’
Marshall glanced at Molly in disdain and said, "Mind your own business. | know what I'm doing."As if she did not hear him, Molly looked at Stella and said," What's your name, and what do you do for a living?""Celeste Thompson. Music teacher."
"Pfft-" Felicity spat out a mouthful of tea and thought,’ Celeste Thompson..? Isn't that the fake name Stella used before?’ Sheimmediately looked at the woman next to Marshall. The more Felicity stared at her, the more familiar her eyes became.
Felicity was about to scream when she noticed the mole on Stella's earlobe, but then Vermont stuffed a piece of watermelon intoher mouth. He put his arm over her shoulders and whispered, "Stay quiet and watch the show."
Felicity did as she was told.
"A music teacher?" Molly laughed. "You don't look like someone who teaches music. What do your parents do?"novelbin
"Do you want my entire background check, Ms. Moore?" Stella asked with a smile.
"It's easy to get into my cousin's social circle. He trusts people too much. So naturally, | have to know more about the girl he'sdating, right? What would people think of the Moore family if he dated a random girl from the streets? | have to at least find out ifshe passes the bar," Molly shrugged.
Stella froze and looked around with sunken eyes. Before she could speak, someone snorted. Everyone paused, and one afterthe other, they glanced at Keegan.
Keegan slowly poured himself a cup of tea without lifting an eyelid. "Well, if a bar waiter can pass in the Moore family, I'd say thebar is pretty low." Vermont could not help but laugh when he heard that. Keegan was clearly making fun of Molly's stepfather,lan.
lan first worked as a waiter at the Sapphire Clubhouse and became a fitness instructor after that. He then opened an online shopwhere he did painting commissions, but his business was not great. He would occasionally post photos of himself online, andpeople noticed his good looks. That was when lan became an influencer.
