Chapter 1918
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Ruby was in the final year of her university and would be graduating very soon.
She was two years younger than Aurora yet appeared much more mature than her.
The way she spoke and acted was very similar to Olivia, showing great courtesy.
When they were walking over from the reception, Ruby called out to Stella.â
Aunty Stella.â
Stella choked. âWhat did you just call me?â
Ruby was taken aback. âMy mom told me to call you that and even specifically reminded me about it.â
Stella did not say anything.
âIt has been so many years, yet sheâs still holding a grudge about it!â Stella thought to herself.
Ruby then said in a warm voice, My mom is getting her makeup done.
Would you please follow me to see her?â
Keegan, who was holding her hand, did not let go.
Stella patted the back of his hand and said, âMrs. Chapman ordered a set of jewelry for the bride. I havenât given it to her yet. Felicity will come with me. You should go ahead and find a seat.â
Keegan pursed his lips, let her hand go, and whispered, âBe quick about it.â
âGot it.â
The makeup room was on the same floor and was pretty close to the reception.
Ruby led Stella and Felicity there, and it did not take them very long to reach there.
helping the bride with her makeup.
Felicity glanced at the logos on the makeup boxes. They were from a well known studio that was rumored to charge a six-figure sum for each makeup session.
However, none of that was surprising. What shocked them more was that other than Olivia and her eldest daughter, Dahlia was also in the dressing room.
She was sitting next to Olivia, and they were happily chatting together.
When the door opened, everyone looked over. Dahlia initially showed a look of disgust upon seeing Stella, but she lifted her eyes soon after. âWhat are you doing here?â she asked in a cold voice.
Stella glanced at Olivia nonchalantly and pursed her lips. âIâm here to deliver something,â she said.
Dahlia frowned. âDeliver what exactly?â
Stella ignored her and handed the box she was holding to Olivia. Then, she calmly said, âMrs.
Chapman, your daughter can try them on now.â
Olivia stood up, walked over, and said with a smile, âThank you.â
She wore a dark red dress. She had maintained her figure well, and in recent months, perhaps due to a better mindset, she appeared radiant. Although her features might not be conventionally beautiful, her temperament was excellent, making her look almost as good as Dahlia.
Olivia reached out to take the gift box, but the moment Stella let go of it, she did the same. The box fell straight to the ground, and the bracelet inside broke into two pieces.
Olivia exclaimed and looked at the bracelet before she shifted her gaze to Stella with an unpleasant expression. âMs. Hall, why didnât you hold it properly?â
Felicity could not help but say, âIt clearly fell from your hand. Donât blame her.â
Oliviaâs expression looked even uglier. âMiss, watch your words. A lot of people here can be my witnesses. I hadnât even held it yet, and she let go. How is this my fault?â âYou-â
Felicityâs temper flared up and was about to argue with Olivia right there and then.
However, Stella stopped her. Then, she sized up Olivia and said after a brief pause, âI only let go after I made sure that you held it. How about this? Since today is a joyous day for your daughter, HI give you a discount. Just pay me eighty percent of the final payment.â
Olivia sneered. âMy daughter hasnât even tried them on yet, and youâre asking me to pay you? Are you out of your mind?â
Stellaâs gaze turned cold as well. âAre you saying that youâre not going to settle the payment, then?â
âItâs broken. Would you pay a few hundred thousand on a broken bracelet?â
