Chapter 854
When Love Comes Late
The exhibition hall was sparsely populated, yet it was evident that the attendees were either affluent or influential, with Neville among them.
Stella couldnât hide her surprise upon seeing Neville there, but her expression soured when she spotted Katy engaged in a cheerful conversation with him.
She held a negative opinion of Katy, especially after the ambiguous remarks she had made in the private room earlier.
Why was Katy with Neville?

Matthew didnât extend a greeting to Neville.
Instead, he led Stella to a nearby seat and settled down.
Stella deliberately inquired with a touch of anger, âWhy donât you greet your good friend?â
Matthew lowered his gaze, fixating it on her, and whispered in her ear, âI wonât disturb him while heâs busy trying to pick up girls.
â
Stella, too, had an unfavorable opinion of Neville now.
As a notorious playboy, he was certainly not deserving of someone like Miley.
Not far away, Katy engaged in conversation with Neville, yet her eyes remained fixed on Matthew ever since his arrival.
Matthewâs public flirtation with Stella clearly wounded her and stoked her anger.
Neville smiled and commented, âYou can see how strong their relationship is.
Perhaps itâs time for you to let go, donât you think?â
Despite her frustration, Katy remained stubborn.
âMatthew is just toying with her.
Havenât all the women whoâve had affairs with him come to regret it?â
Neville furrowed his brow.
Was Katy plotting something nefarious?
He offered a stern reminder.
âMatthew respects his wife, and thatâs why he keeps those women at a distance.
â
Katy seethed with rage.
She couldnât fathom why Matthew, with her superior family background and status, was drawn to Stella while treating her with a cold shoulder.
Neville, sensing her frustration, attempted to shed light on the matter.
âMatthew admires simplicity, but youâ¦â He paused, his gaze scrutinizing Katy from head to toe.
âYou are bound to bring him a plethora of unnecessary problems for him.
â
Katy shot Neville an intense glare, interpreting his words as a jab at her lack of simplicity.
Yet, her influential family background could offer substantial support to Matthew, far more than Stella ever could.
Matthew might be momentarily entranced by Stella, but in time, he would realize the immense benefit a devoted wife could bring to his career.
