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
'Keegan had headaches because he always stayed up late!'I don't like to stay up late. So, after we got married, my sleep routine affected Keegan. Over time, he rarely stayed up late. That's why he doesn't have those sicknesses anymore.'Cordelia believed in the Venerable Raphael Morghen a lot. And, Stella could not just break Cordelia's belief. So, she suppressed what she wanted to say and said, "Grandma, I don't think I have anything to do with that. It was mainly because Keegan is in good health.""You deserve some credit for that too. Give it a try."Stella almost cracked. She could only give another excuse. "Grandma, I really can't do it. The bracelet is so expensive, and I'm clumsy. It isn't suitable for me."Cordelia looked like she suddenly understood something. "Stella, are you afraid that Keegan isn't willing to buy it for you if you manage to draw it? Don't worry. I'll buy it for you if you draw it. Even if you fail to draw it, I'll buy you whatever you like from here.
Stella was weak when she was in Keegan's arms. She softly said, "I'm fine, grandma. I just feel nauseous and dizzy. I feel like vomiting..." She then turned her head and covered her mouth as she retched.Cordelia was very worried. "Okay, okay. Stop talking. Quick, call a doctor immediately."Irene reassured Cordelia as she said, "We've already called a doctor. Don't worry." She then methodically ordered Marshall, "Marshall, bring them to the lounge. The doctor will go over there and examine her."Marshall gave a response. He then turned his head to Keegan and said, "Follow me."Cordelia was still worried, "I'll go with you."But, Irene softly said, "You shouldn't go with them. She's badly retching, and she can't talk. The lounge isn't big. So, the air circulation will be bad if there are many people in it. They can't take good care of things if you're too anxious."Cordelia calmed down. "You're right." She then turned her head to order Dahlia, "Call Baldwin and ask him to get an
Mrs. Chapman pursed her lips. "Mrs. Wood, remember this; the lesser you speak, the fewer you'd say the wrong things."She then turned around and walked to the crowd without waiting for Mrs. Wood to speak again.--Keegan put Stella down on the couch when they got into the lounge.Stella lay down weakly on the sofa. Her face was pale, and she did not look well.Marshall went to get a glass of warm water. When he came back, Keegan was sitting on the edge of the couch, wiping the sweat on Stella's forehead with a tissue.Marshall froze for a moment. He then walked toward them and handed Keegan the glass. "Keegan, feed her some water."Keegan took the glass and glanced at Stella. But, he took a sip of the water instead. He then pinched Stella's chin and wanted to kiss her on the lips.Stella then slapped him. She got up and stared at him as she said, "You're disgusting!"'Did he think he's filming a drama? He wanted to feed me the water with his lips?' Stella thought.'She acted
