Ch.2210 Chapter 2215 - When Love Comes Late

With a pleasant smile gracing her face, Stella played the role of a listener, attentively standing beside Sanford.

Occasionally, he would steer the conversation toward her, eliciting timely responses from her side.

The atmosphere thrummed with harmony.

William, holding a favorable impression of Stella, mistook her for one of Joshâs employees and seized the moment to commend Josh, saying, âMr.

West, your eye for talent is truly unique.

It seems youâve scooped up all the bright minds for your own enterprise.

Josh cast a hesitant glance at Sanford, uncertain whether to correct the assumption.

In contrast, Sanford looked at Matthew with a provocative air before he clarified, âMr.

Robbins, Iâm afraid thereâs been a misunderstanding.

Stella isnât an employee at Sanz Group.

She is, in fact, the long-lost daughter recently welcomed back by the Lowell family.

A ripple of surprise passed through everyone present upon hearing this revelation.

Williamâs mind raced to the gossip he had encountered.

The daughter the Lowell family had just reclaimed was none other than Matthewâs wife!

He looked at Matthew, his expression one of utter bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Stella extended her hand to William with elegance.

âMr.

Robbins, Iâve heard much about you.

Iâm thrilled to finally meet you in person.

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Williamâs face as he responded, âMrs.

Clark, you look radiant tonight.

It was remiss of me not to recognize you immediately.

As he spoke, William kept a watchful eye on Matthew, trying to decipher the coupleâs underlying motives.

Throughout the exchange, only Lindsay remained overlooked.

Seated in her wheelchair, she was rendered invisible, with no one acknowledging her presence or even inquiring about her identity.

She became almost transparent.

The attention concentrated on Stella made it increasingly difficult for her to maintain her composed demeanor.

Her smile, once genuine, now appeared painfully forced.

Eager to amend his earlier faux pas, William suggested, âNow that Mr.

and Mrs.

Clark are both present, would you grace us with the opening dance later? It would certainly add a splendid touch to tonightâs charity dinner.

Stella instinctively looked toward Matthew, her expression one of uncertainty.

She hesitated to respond without knowing Matthewâs stance on the matter.

Sanford and Lindsay also turned their attention to Matthew, anticipating his decision.

Gripping the armrests of her wheelchair, Lindsayâs emotions were a tangled mix of jealousy and fear.

She envied Stellaâs radiant presence and lamented her own inability to stand and shine similarly.

Moreover, she dreaded Matthewâs impending response.

As Lindsay wrestled with her feelings, Matthew finally spoke up.

He fixed his gaze on Stella and declared with a warm smile, âIâm glad.

Relieved by his affirmation, Stella exhaled softly and her smile broadened.
