Chapter 668
When Love Comes Late
With a change of clothes, Miley emerged from her room with a smile and approached Stella.
âStella, you did an amazing job with the performance.
Later, Iâll instruct the financial department to transfer your earnings to your account.
â
Stella pocketed her phone, shaking her head.
âNo need, Miley.
â
Miley was about to insist but noticed something amiss in Stellaâs expression.
Concern etched her features as she inquired, âWhatâs wrong? Are you feeling unwell, or did something happen?â
Stella hesitated for a moment before deciding to confide in Miley.
âMaverick just messaged me, saying he wants to discuss our divorce.
Weâve arranged to meet at a cafe tonight.
â
Mileyâs worry began to ease, and she reassured Stella, âThatâs a good thing.
Youâve been postponing this for far too long.
Itâs for the best that you both move on.
â
Stella nodded thoughtfully, pondering the conversation sheâd have with Maverick later.
Miley placed a comforting hand on Stellaâs shoulder.
âDonât overthink it; just let things unfold naturally.
Now, Iâm heading to a celebration with the models.
Would you like to join us?â
Stella checked the time and saw that she had a couple of hours before the scheduled meeting.
She agreed with a nod.
âAlright.

Meanwhile, Jeremy and Charlene were managing a small branch company, having been ousted from the Clark family.

While it seemed they wielded some authority, this company was a mere empty shell, unconnected to Prosperity Group.
Their prospects for a comeback appeared dismal.
Charleneâs assistant, Luis, followed her here when his survival in Seamarsh was no longer tenable.
He presented Charlene with a document, saying, âMaâam, here is the information you requested.
â
Charlene accepted the document, perusing it with increasing consternation.
The contents grew progressively worse, and she was practically seething by the time she reached the final page.
In her anger, she flung the document onto the table, causing her coffee cup to tumble and shatter on the floor.
Startled by the noise, Jeremy approached and found Luis trembling and Charlene enraged.
He inquired, âWhat happened?â
Charlene, her arms crossed, responded in an irate tone, âI severely underestimated Stella.
