Chapter 2213

The guests continued their speculation.

Stella’s expression changed slightly when she overheard the murmurs, but she maintained her poise and composure.

Standing beside Sanford, she did not merely complement him but eclipsed him with her renowned status as a designer.

Matthew, who had arrived earlier, noticed the stir at the entrance and looked over, spotting the radiant Stella and Sanford by her side.

Matthew’s expression darkened, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Sitting beside Matthew, Lindsay had made a special effort to dress elegantly for the evening, hoping to complement Matthew.

However, the wheelchair confined her.

Seeing Stella, who captured everyone’s attention, Lindsay’s envy and bitterness surged.

Though she wanted to express her feelings, she dared not do so in front of Matthew.

Instead, she buried her jealousy and anger deep inside.

AngelasLibrary

She recognized that Stella’s radiant appearance was deliberately intended to provoke her.

Yet, in a way, that was what Lindsay desired-she had feared that Stella might not show up.

Observing Matthew’s intense focus on Stella, Lindsay feigned shock and remarked, “Isn’t the man with Stella the same one from last night? They seem quite close.

”

At her words, Matthew’s fury erupted.

He slammed the empty glass onto the table.

Lindsay was pleased with how Matthew reacted.

She went on to provoke further.

“What’s the connection between Stella and that man? Why did she come with him? Does she think this is okay?”

Matthew’s expression grew even more unsettled.

He didn’t respond to Lindsay and abruptly turned to walk away.

Looking at Stella, Lindsay instructed the maid, “Follow him.

”

The maid stepped up and began pushing Lindsay’s wheelchair.

Though Stella seemed indifferent to Matthew, Lindsay was very noticeable in her wheelchair.

When Stella entered the hall earlier, she had noticed the two.

Her gaze would drift toward Matthew, intentionally or unintentionally.

But in an instant, both Matthew and Lindsay had vanished.

Stella’s brow furrowed as she looked around, searching for them.

Just then, Sanford grabbed her wrist and asked, “What are you Looking at?”

Stella’s eyes flickered with unease.

She forced a smile and replied, “Nothing.

”

“The head of Sanz Group is over there.

Let’s meet him.

” Sanford didn’t ask any more questions.

Instead, he got straight to work.

Stella composed herself and agreed, “Okay.

”
