Chapter 822

No one knew Vermont’s third wheeling was a nuisance to Keegan.

However, Keegan did force him to watch their lovers’ antics. In actual fact, Keegan and Stella did not say much between themselves. Not many cheesy lines were said throughout, but the atmosphere was another matter. Without saying much, there were still rings of pink bubbles, and he was about to drown in those bubbles.

After a few drinks, Stella got up to go to the washroom. Keegan’s gaze finally landed on Vermont, ‘ Are you full now?”

“Stop being so smug,” Vermont rolled his eyes at him, ’She kissed you because she likes your face.

What correlation is between that and Stella liking you as a person?” Keegan’s expression did not change, “At least I have the prerequisite for her to like me. Unlike someone who only knows how to lie.”

Vermont was at a loss for words.

‘Where is my sword!’ Vermont screamed in his thoughts.

There were many customers today at The Deli; hence quite a few were queuing for the washroom.

When Stella walked past the corridor, she saw an employee of the restaurant hang up a sign. She noticed that it was Valentine’s Day today.

‘No wonder there were more customers than usual,’ she thought.

When she entered the bathroom stall, she heard someone outside say,” Sophia, will you attend Ms.

Moore’s birthday next week?”

Stella’s movements froze.

‘It can’t be a coincidence, right?’ She thought.

Yet, such a coincidence had happened. Sophia’s voice very swiftly came, “I probably would attend.”

After Stella had been cast out of the Jewell family, Sophia was accepted into the family honorably and was finally recognized as the daughter of the Jewell family. She was unfamiliar with Molly, but Molly’s stepfather was her uncle. Hence, they have a pretty close relationship. If she did go, the gift she would send could not be too shabby. Her father was not as generous when giving her money recently.

“Let’s go together. Our chauffeur took sick leave, so I’ll need to ride in your car,” the other girl said.

Sophia was slightly disdainful of her best friends. Due to being illegitimate daughters, they had no choice but to band together. Now that she was a legitimate heiress, she only stayed with them because she enjoyed being the center of attention. However, she did not refuse them just in case they had some use in the future.

“Sure, I’ll call you then,” Sophia replied.

“Thank you,” her best friend continued to flatter her, “In the past, I used to be with your sister… Ah, that would be incorrect. When I played with Stella, I would never get a chance to use her stuff. When I talked with her, she would always be indifferent and carry herself regally. Who knew she was actually an illegitimate child.”

Stella kept quiet. She could not remember who the voice owner was and questioned herself, ‘Did she really hang out with me?’

However, Sophia obviously liked being held on a pedestal and stepping on others.

She could not resist stomping Stella into the abyss and not letting her come back up ever again!

“She was always like that, arrogant,” Sophia commented.

“Luckily, the Kane family had their eyes open and swept her out of their house. I heard that she had started acting in films. Speaking of which, she used to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Kane family.

But now, she has to sell her body to earn some money. I really want to see her pathetic state right now.”

As she finished speaking, the door to the bathroom stall opened from within. Stella came out expressionless. She wore simple clothing with only a pair of diamond ear studs to match. She clearly had no expensive jewelry on her, but just by standing there, she could make you feel that everything she wore was expensive.

An item of a smaller brand for a few hundred bucks would feel like a branded item when she wore it.

Sophia’s expression froze momentarily, and she thought, ‘What a coincidence it is to meet her here!’

Stella did not even glance at her and was about to walk away after passing through Sophia. Sophia instead blocked her path, “Stella, long time no see.”

Stella paused her movements and raised her gaze to look over. In the past, Sophia would purposely not wear nice clothing or expensive jewelry on public occasions to emphasize how terrible Stella was to her. Now, she was wearing all of them.

Her face seemed altered slightly and more beautiful than in the past. Who knew if the previous incident was the reason behind her getting plastic surgery. She might have been afraid that it would affect her life.
