But then again, Stella was just a young girl. How good could her alcohol tolerance be?After raising a toast to seven or eight tables of guests, she was already a little dizzy.Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, the people who were well-dressed in their day-to-day lives were toasting the bride with the strongest of liquors at this disgusting wedding scene.Stella had already drunk too much. If she had continued on, she would have spent her wedding night in the Intensive Care Unit instead of her new home."You toasted with all the other tables of guests, so why not us? Come on, aren't you gonna pay us respect?"The guests at the table went back and forth, coercing her to raise a toast. However, out of nowhere, someone snatched the glass out of Stella's grip and splashed it across the face of the person who initiated the coercion.With an angry expression on his face, the man who snatched the glass chuckled as he mocked, "Why don't you piss off and look at your own reflection. Do you
The day Zane drowned was the day Carter got marriedStella and Keegan attended the wedding, but they did not see Zane.The wedding took place by the beach, so the location was far from the city center. The Lowes booked many rooms at the beach resort for their guests to stay in.However, not long after the ceremony, they received a call informing them that Cordelia had tripped and fallen. They did not spend the night at the resort and hurried back home.Meanwhile, Zane drowned on the night they left.There were a lot of rumors surrounding the truth of Zane's death, but the Lowes never explained what happened that night. They just stated that it was an accident.Even the guests that spent the night in the hotel that night had no idea what went down. When they knew that something had happened, Zane was already in an ambulance to the hospital and was announced dead not long after.The wedding became a funeral for the death of a young man.One could only guess how the Lowes felt tha
It turned out the Luminous Pearl was about to be presented. Stella unconsciously moved toward it, and Keegan followed her.When all the lights from the cell phones were turned off, the lights overhead were also turned off. There was only the soft glow from the infrared light of the surveillance cameras and the green light from the emergency exits. The surrounding was pitch black. Even if someone was standing nearby, one could not see their face clearly. It was total darkness."We appreciate your cooperation," the host's voice boomed again. "Next, we will have our staff pull the curtains, and we shall admire this rare treasure that had been uncovered after two thousand years together."As his speech ended, everyone saw the soft glow emitted from the stage. As the curtains were pulled down, the glow started to spread toward its surrounding. The soft purple light immediately covered the front stage when the curtains were pulled down completely. At the same time, the original source for
At that moment, the lights were all turned on. Stella squinted her eyes and was shocked when she saw who she was holding in her arms and yelped, "Mr. Moore?"Keegan's expression immediately turned ugly. He could see that Stella was hugging Marshall like an octopus. She had her head facing upwards with a dumb look on her face.He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing?"Stella came back to her senses and quickly released her grasp, but Keegan was quicker by a bit and grabbed her wrist. He then forcefully pried Stella from Marshall's body. Stella's wrists were hurting, but she did not care to cry out. Due to the embarrassment, she could only stay awkward.Forget about hugging the wrong person; she even blackmailed the person and ridiculed their aunt. Now, she wished she could crawl into a hole and hide from the embarrassment."I'm sorry, Mr. Moore. I've mistaken you for someone else," Then, she complained quietly to Keegan, "Weren't you beside me just now? Where did you go?
Aurora's face turned red, and she coquettishly said, "Godmother, what are you saying?"Marshall furrowed his brows and pushed Aurora's hand away. " Mom, you shouldn't make these jokes on a whim. Aurora is much younger than I am. She's like a sister to me."Aurora interrupted hastily. "I'm not your biological sister...""Aurora!" Dahlia yelled out. "Go help support your grandmother."Aurora initially did not want to let her hand go, but she saw Dahlia's heavy expression and could only let go and leave with gritted teeth.When Aurora had left, Dahlia sighed, "She just can't grow up."A few times, Stella had met the pretty woman, which was also Marshall's mother. Although she was slightly plump, she still was very elegant. Her features also showed that she was quite beautiful when she was younger.Marshall's mother and Dahlia had an excellent relationship with each other. Otherwise, she would not have accepted Aurora as her godchild.It was apparent that both of them wanted to mak
"I actually quite like the jade. Still, the Venerable Raphael Morghen said that the jade could recognize its master and was incompatible with my aura. He wrote a number for me and said if the buyer drew the same number tonight, they would be the one destined for it. The family who gets the item would definitely prosper, live long and healthy, and have their wishes come true," Irene added.After saying all that, it made the madams feel very tempted. Having the Venerable Raphael Morghen foretell the prophesied person would not only be a blessing, but the person would also gain social status. And, it would also make the lucky madam who got it to be the talk of the town.Mrs. Wood chuckled, "Tell us the price and let everyone settle down."Irene let out a light chuckle. "Everyone will know when we exhibit it later.""Young child, you still want to build up suspense," Behind her, Cordelia's laughter floated over. Everyone made way for her and saw Cordelia walking steadily with Aurora fo
Dahlia chuckled lightly. "I used to feel that jade bracelets were inconvenient because they would crash into things. But, now that I am older, the more I feel that jade can help nurture people. However, these things require fate. Even if I like it, I wouldn't be able to bid for it."Mrs. Chapman then said, "The bracelet costs twenty million dollars. The ones here who like jade and can spend that amount of money on it are only a selected few. The probability is still quite high."One had to admit that Mrs. Chapman's skill in speaking was highly proficient. Just a single sentence enlightened the few madams present who were interested. The other madams were not stupid. The grading of the bracelet, regardless of the Venerable Raphael Morghen's blessing, would make the jade cost at least twenty million dollars on the market. Hence, the blessing from the Venerable Raphael Morghen made the jade's price at least thirty or forty million dollars. One could say that buying the jade bracelet wou
When she said that, she handed the bracelet she had scammed from Albert. The marbling of the bracelet was gorgeous, but since it was a million-dollar item, it looked inferior to the twenty million bracelet. However, Stella could not care too much. Regardless of anything, she could not allow Dahlia to bid for the bracelet."Mom, you should try it. If it's not suitable, I can pick another one for you," Stella said.Dahlia's expression could not be considered as happy. Stella gave her the bracelet right when she was about to bid for the bracelet, not a moment earlier or later. If she did not accept it, it would spread rumors about their terrible relationship as in-laws. If Dahlia took it with Cordelia present, as the mother-in-law, Dahlia had to gift something back as a sign of affection. Otherwise, Cordelia would think that she lacked etiquette as a daughter-in-law.Besides, whether she accepted it or not, Stella had gifted her the bracelet first. So, if she went up to bid for the bra
