She had had her eyes on Stefan even before she joined the entertainment industry, promising herselfthat she’d work hard to get his attention and subsequently become his wife.novelbin
Unexpectedly, he married someone else before she got to make a name for herself.
Yet after a long while of waiting, waiting for her dream man to get a divorce, it seemed that it would beto no avail.
“Who knows? I just know my cousin dislikes her, so I’m guessing she was the one who’s pesteringhim!” Charlotte said as she looked towards Renee with disdain, patting Ruby on the shoulder.
‘You’re just too modest, Ruby. You won’t even make a move on him! Now that they’re divorced, youshould just go for it… My cousin is literally
available now! Do you know how many people want him? How can you be so relaxed?”
Ruby was visibly frustrated. “It’s not that I don’t want to, but I am at the peak of my career now. My newmovie is going to premiere soon too. I just can’t afford to get into a scandal!’
‘ But my cousin is single. People would praise you for winning his heart! How could that be considereda scandal then…’
Just then, Charlotte let out a sigh. “Though, you have to be careful around that witch, Everheart. Don’tbe fooled by her nonchalant act. She actually has a lot of tricks up her sleeve, you know?”
‘ Back then, when Briar Desrosiers was pregnant with Stefan’s child, Everheart went as far as todestroy her! So I don’t dare to provoke her either. I’m avoiding her at all costs!”
Ever since Briar lost her place in the family, Charlotte had been meaning to find someone in her circleas a replacement, and Ruby was definitely her best option as of now.
Ruby’s beautiful face was brimming with pride and confidence, smiling slyly. “Her tricks are child’s playcompared to the entertainment industry! You should know that I managed to work up from the bottomto where I am today, so how could I possibly lose to her?”
In order to prevent more gossip, Renee quickly separated from Stefan and headed straight for thedessert section. She had been starving during their quest to find the seashells and wanted to rewardherself in some way.
Seeing how the woman was rushing off, Stefan felt upset but didn’t stop her this time. Instead, hewalked backstage to meet with Christopher and the others.
From afar, a figure in white appeared before him. Surprisingly, it was Cecilia in her wedding gown.
Stefan furrowed his eyebrows slightly, his expression distant. “Why are you here?”
Cecilia seemed depressed, on the verge of tears, as she said, “Stef, can we go somewhere private fora bit? I have something to say to you.’
“Just say it here.” Stefan remained cold, keeping his distance from the woman.
“I need to speak to you in private. Please, I’m begging you, or else this wedding can’t go on…”
Stefan looked rather hesitant. Many famous figures were present at Christopher’s wedding, and itwould be humiliating for the Jacobs if something were to go wrong.
“Stop hesitating, okay? Just take it as a sacrifice for your precious little Chris! I’ll move on after ourconversation is done!” Cecilia chewed on her lip as she grabbed Stefan by the arm, heading straight tothe VIP room at the side.
Out of consideration for the bigger picture, Stefan reluctantly agreed to follow.
Cecilia shut the door and instantly pounced into the man’s arms. It was as if she had been suppressingall her emotions up till now, sobbing hysterically.
“Stef, I regret everything! I really do! I don’t love Christopher at all. It’s always been you!”
“After breaking up with you, I’ve always dreamed of getting back together with you. I just didn’t thinkyou’d marry so soon! Thank god you’ve divorced now…”
Tears continued welling up in Cecilia’s eyes, her expression pitiful as she stared back at Stefan,carefully asking, “What if I told you I wanted to start over? Would you take me away from thiswedding?”
