When Freesia founded Enchanted, she did not need Darcie as a partner since she had the necessary expertise. Her parents also provided the startup capital.

Despite her ordinary background and lack of talent, Darcie was a very hardworking person who knew how to deal with people. People like her were the best in business negotiations. Also, Darcie was also once Freesia's classmate. Stella figured that Freesia chose Darcie as a business partner for those two reasons.

But jealousy was a terrifying thing.

Freesia had caring parents, a loving husband, and a bright son. Also, she was exceptionally talented in her professional field.

Meanwhile, Darcie had to scrap together money to be a shareholder of Enchanted, faced financial difficulties during the company's initial stages, and even had to support herself and her child after her ex-husband's early demise.

With how life had treated Darcie, it was impossible for her not to be jealous.

However, people dealt with jealousy differently—some

    Wren was not expecting to see Stella here at all as she hastily wiped away the tears on her face and called out in a hoarse voice, "Hello, Ms. Hall."She was only a few years older than Sonia. She was a young lady with an oval-shaped face, looking very youthful. However, her skin seemed somewhat pale, giving her a fragile appearance that reminded Stella of Colin Craven. That left a deep impression on Stella.Stella handed her a tissue and said gently, "Here, wipe your tears."Wren took it and thanked her.Stella was not a nosy person, but when she came in earlier, she overheard Wren on the phone with the hospital mentioning payment and surgery.It reminded her of the helplessness she felt when she could not afford to pay for Rainee's treatment in the hospital to keep her alive. So, she could not help but ask, "Are you facing any difficulties back home?"Wren had already stopped crying by then, but as soon as Stella asked that question, tears welled up in her eyes again.

    "Other than that, the entire finance department is also ostracizing her. Even people from other departments who used to have good relationships with her are now afraid to talk to her, fearing they might be associated with her."If this continues, Wren will probably resign in less than two months. Even though she can find another suitable job quickly, she won't be able to afford the medical expenses for the next few months."With a tense expression, Stella asked, "Kiara, are you close to Wren?"Kiara said, "We're okay. I'm responsible for claiming reimbursement for my team, so I deal with her the most. We also often eat together."Stella whispered a few words to her, and Kiara was taken aback momentarily. Then, she nodded solemnly and softly said, "I'll try."After coming out of the restroom, Xavier came to Stella, saying that Grace Esper, a major client of Caline, had arrived and needed her reception.While heading to the reception area, Stella asked Xavier, "I haven't heard abou

    Grace paused for a moment before saying, "So, she's the lost daughter that just returned to the Saun family, huh? No wonder she can become the Vice President here."Stella pursed her lips and smiled, not showing any anger. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Esper. I indeed don't know too much about our major clients yet, and I apologize for any negligence. Which series of perfume would you like to try? I'll arrange it for you."Grace's tone softened a little upon seeing how good Stella's attitude was. "I'd like to try the new 'Cloud Nine' perfume you've formulated. If it's as good as you described it, I'm going to order a batch as door gifts for my son's wedding."Stella did not know about the 'Cloud Nine' perfume. She glanced at Audrey for clarification.Aubrey then said in a low voice, "Ms. Hall, we can't sell 'Cloud Nine.' Mrs. Barlow customized it; she would not appreciate it if we sold it to others. We have an agreement not to sell it as 'Cloud Nine' is formulated exclusively for her."Besides

    Grace refused to listen any further and said with a stern face, "I want to try 'Cloud Nine'. Let me tell you: as long as it's good and can uphold the reputation of the Esper family, I can afford anything, no matter how expensive!"Stella tried to explain, "I didn't mean it that way—"Grace cut her off and said impatiently, "I don't have any more time to waste. Just tell me right now; can I try the perfume or not?"Stella clenched her hands and forced a polite smile. "Of course. I'll go get it for you."With a slight nod, she turned around and left the reception room.As soon as she stepped out, her expression darkened. 'I've never seen anyone dumber than Jaylene! Her brain must be rotten!'Then, she quickly called Keegan and explained the situation to him, hoping to get some advice.After listening, Keegan calmed her down and suggested that she see what was so special about 'Cloud Nine.'Stella went to the display cabinet where the perfume bottles were stored and found the bott

    Jaylene followed along. She did not think that Stella had any way to deal with the situation. After all, Grace was not an easy person to persuade. If she had really tried 'Cloud Nine,' she definitely would not be interested in anything else.When Grace arrived at the fragrance testing room, Stella was already waiting at the table full of perfume bottles. Grace frowned. "I only want to try 'Cloud Nine'; why did you bring so many other ones?"Stella smiled and pointed to an ordinary-looking bottle next to her and said gently, "This is 'Cloud Nine.' I was afraid that you might not like it, so I brought some others for you to try.""That's pretty thoughtful of you." Grace crossed her legs and said calmly, "Let's begin.""Sure," Stella responded and picked up a test strip to sample the perfume.Julia saw what Stella was doing and suddenly said, "Ms. Hall, should we let Mrs. Esper try 'Cloud Nine' first?"Grace paused and realized that the bottle in Stella's hand was not 'Cloud Nine,'

    Stella said gently, "When I first met you in the reception room, I didn't smell any scent on you. You have makeup on, but most makeup products have some scent to them. The ones you're using are scent-free, yet you're not someone who doesn't like fragrances. So, I had a feeling that you came prepared."Grace was impressed by how observant Stella was. She then figured that a person like Stella would only promote products that suited the client from their perspective and would not fabricate things just to make them buy their products.Then, she said flatly, "Let's carry on."Jaylene's expression darkened.Stella lowered her gaze, nodded, and continued letting Grace try the other perfumes.She let Grace test nine perfumes in a row and said great things about each one, continuously impressing Grace. However, smelling so many perfumes made Grace's sense of smell numb, especially since each perfume required her to identify the top, middle, and base notes.The whole process took some tim

    Stella had heard a few perfumers talking about olfactory fatigue in the pantry. She learned that when one smelled various fragrances for too long, the sense of smell would weaken, so they would not continuously smell fragrances for more than three hours a day.She then looked at the time and found out that it had been two and a half hours since they started. Grace was not a professional perfumer, so two and a half hours should make her sense of smell less sensitive.But seeing Grace's hesitation, Stella became nervous, fearing that her plan would fail.Grace glanced at 'Dream Weaver,' then at 'Cloud Nine.' Finally, she settled her gaze on the latter.Stella's heart sank. Just as Grace was about to speak, the phone in her bag rang.She opened her bag and took out her phone. When she saw who was calling her, her expression turned gentle.Upon answering the phone, she said, "Where are you? Don't you have class today? Oh, okay. Give me a little more time. I'm still testing the perfum

    The young man hugged Grace's arm. "That was his fault. He rode against traffic in the tunnel and went up to a hundred and sixty miles. I've never rode faster than a hundred and twenty."Grace raised her voice. "Is one hundred and twenty not fast enough already?""It is, it is. Mom, please forgive me. I just couldn't resist myself. Please don't tell Dad. I won't ride ever again in the future."Before Grace could say anything, he added, "Mom, did you change skincare products recently? Your skin looks a little... strange."Grace became nervous upon hearing that, and she immediately touched her face. "I didn't. I'm still using the same brands. What's wrong with my face? What do you mean strange?"The man widened his gaze, looked carefully at Grace's face, and said, "Strangely beautiful."Grace could not help but smile as she pushed him away. "You cheeky boy. Stop teasing me!"He then hugged Grace's arm. "I mean it. While other moms are getting older, my mom is actually looking young

    Keegan moved from initial resistance to reluctantly listening, and eventually to questioning."Why do these novels portray men as so stupid and brainless, yelling at the female lead as if they have intermittent explosive disorder?""Is the male lead sick? Forcing the female lead to donate a kidney, is he out of his mind?""How many years would they get for calling the police in their world?""Why is he so dumb? The supporting actress claims the female lead pushed her into the water and he believes it? Is checking surveillance footage illegal?""Stella, are you making fun of me?""I can't learn this. It all feels so neurotic. What does the female lead see in him?"Stella retorted, "Who cares if it's neurotic? Just mimic that stupidity, that's how these innocent women like men who protect them like that."Keegan was very reluctant, but his brain was more compliant than his body. Without needing to study deliberately, everything he heard stuck in his mind.So when Keegan mentione

    Keegan's expression darkened with anger. "You're being completely unreasonable!"Stella crossed her arms, wearing an expression that seemed challenging. "You let her take it. Let's see if I dare."Jaylene hadn't actually wanted those junk items in the first place; she was deliberately trying to stir up discord between them. Now that her goal was achieved, she put on a sympathetic look."Keegan, I don't want it anymore. Don't be angry. Your health is more important. Didn't the doctor say to keep your emotions stable?"Turning her head, she reproached Stella. "Stella, are you here to help Keegan recover his memory or just to provoke him?""Shut up, you brat! Do you even have a say here?"Acting under the guise of a drama, playing the role of someone lacking in manners, was incredibly satisfying.She’d wanted to curse this brat for a long time!Jaylene's lips twitched, but she held back, tearfully saying, "Stella, if you don't like me, I'll leave. There's no need to humiliate me l

    Jaylene understood the situation perfectly. Even though she didn't particularly like these cold, mechanical devices, she put on a pretense of surprise, saying, "Really, Keegan?"Keegan nodded. "Choose one you like.""Keegan!" Before Stella could finish her sentence, she couldn't hold back her sharp voice, "With your pile of junk that I can't even touch normally, she takes a look and now you want to give it to her? What's the meaning of this?!"Keegan frowned, apparently not comprehending her current anger at all. "Jaylene gave me a gift, and I'm giving her one in return. What's the problem?""What problem?" Stella's eyes started to redden. "I can't touch them, so why should she be able to? Have you forgotten, or do you have inappropriate feelings for her?"Keegan's expression darkened. "This makes no sense!"Jaylene secretly delighted in this, hypocritically trying to calm things down, "Forget it, Keegan. Since Stella minds so much, I don't want it anymore. You've strained your r

    The standoff lasted for over twenty minutes before Keegan grabbed a book and knocked the beetle off Jaylene's neck. The beetle fluttered twice and suddenly flew up, landing on Jaylene's face.Jaylene screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.As she collapsed, the bug flew off again."Jaylene?"Keegan called out to her.He looked up at Stella and said, "You go start the car, I'll carry her to the hospital."As he spoke, he signaled to Stella.She understood and coldly grunted, "So troublesome."Walking over to Jaylene, she squatted down beside her and slapped her face twice.Jaylene immediately opened her eyes and reached out to push her away. "What are you doing!"Stella was prepared and had already moved back before she could be pushed.She shook her tingling hand and innocently said, "Jaylene, you fainted because of the bug. I was just saving you. Don't believe me? Ask Keegan."Jaylene nearly ground her teeth. Did she think she hadn't heard? She was intentionally exposing h

    Her fingertips trembled with a mix of horror and excitement. Just as the teapot was about to slip from her grasp, Keegan suddenly said, "Jaylene, don't move."Jaylene froze, instinctively thinking Keegan had regained his memory. She had barely twitched when Keegan loudly stopped her again, "Don't move, absolutely don't move."Jaylene wanted to say something, but then felt an itching sensation on her neck, as if something was crawling slowly. Goosebumps erupted all over her body.By now, Stella had turned around and saw Jaylene standing stiffly with the teapot in hand. Her eyes quickly assessed the situation and then she noticed the beetle crawling on Jaylene's neck.It was an unknown species, not overly tentacled but as long as a little finger, its mouthparts slightly twitching, genuinely alarming in appearance.Stella murmured, "It's so big."Jaylene couldn't see what was on her neck, unsure if it would bite or if it was venomous. She stood frozen in place, her voice trembling,

    Seeing him, Stella even lowered her eyes and softly praised, "Mr. Kane, you acted very well."Keegan glared at her, his voice low and intense. "If you keep watching like this, Coco will cut ties with me tomorrow."Stella replied confidently, "No, she won't. After accepting the red envelope, she can tolerate you a little longer."Keegan asked sharply, "Did you teach her to ask for red envelopes like this?""Don't falsely accuse me; I didn't teach her.""You may not have taught her directly, but you set an example. Have you forgotten how you always make me buy things for you?"Stella was speechless. Whenever she wanted Keegan to buy her something, she would often say, "Gifts are only surprises when given voluntarily. If reminded, it shows they don’t like me that much."It had to be said, Coco had learned the essence of it.Stella also felt a bit awkward, thinking that in the future, she needed to avoid such flirtatious conversations between spouses in front of the children. They

    Could she figure all this out?Keegan frowned, casting a disappointed look at Coco. "Are you not listening to me now?"Coco raised her gaze defiantly and stated, "Aunt Stella taught me that if I don't want something someone gives me, I can say no. I don't want this hairpin.""Didn't she teach you that even if you don't like something, you should still say thank you?"Coco fell silent for a moment, then reluctantly said to Jaylene, "Thank you, Aunt Jaylene, but I don't want it."Jaylene hesitated with her hand extended, unsure whether to retract it or leave it there, managing a strained smile. "Then what do you like? Next time, I will get you something you do like."Coco asked, "Do you want me to do something for you?"Jaylene was taken aback. "What?"Coco replied seriously, "Aunt Stella says offering help without reason is either deceitful or thieving. Since you don't like me, why else would you give me something? You want me to do something for you, right?"Jaylene forced a s

    Leighton's incident did indeed revive their suspicions.Jaylene was gullible, but Darcie might see through this scheme. "Keegan, why didn't you go to work today?" Jaylene chose to ask directly at first.Keegan remained composed. "I've been busy with the press conference lately and haven't had much rest. Now that things have slowed down, I thought I'd take a break and relax."Jaylene spoke gently, "You should rest well. Since you came back, you've been busy, and you've been postponing Dr. Stone's follow-up appointments. Keegan, I'm really worried about your health. Since you're resting these days, I'll arrange for Dr. Stone to give you another check-up. Stella has been living here to assist your recovery for so long. We need the doctor to give a clear assessment of whether there's been any improvement. Otherwise, it's not good for Stella's reputation to stay here so long, unmarried and under one roof."Keegan nodded. "Okay, please arrange it. Thank you."His response was decisive,

    Stella had just descended the stairs when she heard that remark, causing her eyelids to twitch as she thought to herself, “Damn it! He really knows how to come up with excuses!”Upon hearing this, Jaylene's eyes briefly flashed with disdain, but she ultimately accepted the shoe covers Keegan handed her. As Keegan led Jaylene into the house, her eyes continued to scrutinize every corner.There were a couple of pillows on the sofa, couple mugs on the table, wedding photos of Keegan and Stella on the walls, and even headbands and hair ties scattered on the table. The house exuded an unmistakable feminine touch.Jaylene's expression darkened, but when Keegan turned to ask if she preferred tea or coffee, she adopted a gentle, harmless demeanor. "Tea would be perfect."Keegan invited her to take a seat and called for Maria to prepare tea. Jaylene spoke softly, "Keegan, I heard from Stella that you brew Dragon Well tea better than anyone else. Is there a special technique?"Stella paused
