Seeing this, Sophia set down the bag in her hand."Dad, mom's just worried about you. You've been working hard for many years, so she just wanted to buy you something nice," she said in a low voice."You call this being worried about me? You're spending my money to worry about me?"At the mention of this, Albert's pent-up anger finally blew up. He continued, "She goes to the mall a few times every week. Does she have that many things to buy? How many clothes, bags, and shoes do you all have in your closets? Yet you're still buying more."Hylda was fed up with his words. "Do you think I'm buying this many things because I'm vain? I'm only doing this because of you! If I don't dress well and wear nice bags, how will I join the social circle of rich ladies? I'll only get the chance to bring you business after I get acquainted with them!"Albert did not appreciate her actions at all."This is my second marriage. Who in the circle doesn't know this? Those rich ladies in the social cir
Stella grabbed the phone. After she muttered something, she hung up the phone.Felicity placed the final dish onto the table and turned to Stella."My Queen, it's time to eat!" she shouted.Stella laughed. Then, she slipped on her shoes and walked over.There were four dishes and a bowl of soup, which was mushroom soup. It was amazing."Felicity, your idea's brilliant. Albert was scared shitless."Felicity's eyes lit up."Tell me more, tell me more!"Stella told Felicity what happened at the Jewell residence today.After Detective Karl told her about sowing discord, she discussed the matter with Felicity.Felicity was quick-witted and suggested starting on their youngest son first.Firstly, it was easier to coax children. Secondly, children acting this way was terrifying. It was like how children in western films made drawings that foretold death.'Who wouldn't get scared? Not to mention that Albert's a coward,' thought Stella.Stella and Felicity worked together. After th
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect you guys to be the tenants of 901."Then, Vermont smelled the aroma of the food and stared at them."Stella, you made those yourself?"Stella said, "Felicity made them, not me."She paused.'Why'd Vermont move here?' she wondered.Stella only learned that the unit they were living in was under Trevor's name a few days ago when she was cross-checking the property owner's information with the management.Then, she tentatively asked her agent, Kaiden.Kaiden said the houses the company was letting the artists stay in were all currently under Trevor's name. This was because the company had just been established, and this was the most hassle-free method.Then, he told her the units on the few floors above and below hers all belonged to the company. When the time came, they would arrange for other artists to move in. They might also rent the units to influencers and such to get rent money.Stella did not ask any more questions after hearing his
Stella was also troubled.'I can't throw him out. Back when Rainee was hospitalized, Vermont had helped me, so I can't be too harsh. But Felicity looks like she doesn't like Vermont, so I can't just let him stay. I'm in a dilemma,' she thought.Vermont searched around the kitchen and could not find a plate or cutlery.In disbelief, he returned to the dining table and said, "Do you guys only have four bowls?"Stella said, "We only moved in recently, so we don't have many things yet."Each of them had a bowl and a soup bowl, so there were no extra bowls.Felicity was not as polite as Stella."There's only two of us staying here. Why would we need that many bowls?" she paused.She narrowed her eyes and continued, "Why don't you eat with your hands? Since you're so thick-skinned, the food probably won't burn you."Vermont's lips twitched. "I don't have a problem with that. But can you still stomach the food after I touch them with my hands?"Felicity was at a loss for words."I'
Keegan was stunned.This was the second time he was amazed by the character she portrayed.The last time was when she portrayed a psychopathic cannibal serial killer in Jurisdiction.Stella glowed when she was in front of the camera.Even though her face was familiar, she would make people feel that she embodied the character she played when she was in front of the camera.In the eyes of others, she was like a luminous pearl covered with dust. The radiance could not be hidden when the dust was removed.But in Keegan's eyes, she was never covered with dust. It was just that the glimmer of radiance was kept in his secret compartment back then. Only he could enjoy it.But a luminous pearl shined brighter in a darker place. It was meant to be admired by the world.He could not hide it at all.Stella came out after she was done cutting the fruits. Her eye twitched when she saw the scene in the dining area.Keegan, Vermont, and Felicity were sitting at the dining table.Keegan was
They even argued about which was the nicer pie, apple pies or pumpkin pies.Vermont was a southerner. He stubbornly said apple pies were better. Felicity was a northern girl. Naturally, she felt pumpkin pies were the best.At the end of their debate, Felicity bragged. "I'll make a whole pumpkin pie for you tomorrow. I'll show you which is the best."Vermont slightly smiled. He looked serious as he said, "Show me. But apple pies will remain on top!"Felicity's expression was ugly. She said, "You just wait!"She then immediately got up and ran to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for the pumpkin pie. She wanted to give Vermont a brutal slap in the face with the Northern pumpkin pie.Stella saw Vermont looked smug. She felt that Felicity fell into his trap.The four of them finished eating all four of the dishes and the soup.Truthfully, Keegan ate quite little. Stelle did not eat much either because Keegan was there. Felicity ate as much as Stella. Only Vermont ate a lot.V
Stella's eye twitched."I'll hit you until you're permanently disabled now!"Keegan gave a laugh. But after a while, he whispered, "The house that I transferred to your name is bigger than this. I'll ask someone to clean the house. Move in and live there."Stella pushed him away. "Are you trying to be my sugar daddy? Just like how you were Bella's sugar daddy back then?"Keegan frowned. "Since when was I her sugar daddy?"Stella was boiling with rage. "I saw the manuscript from the media. Who doesn't know you supported Bella financially?"Keegan furrowed his eyebrows. He seemed like he remembered the gossip in the entertainment section of the newspaper.He frowned as he said, "I provided her resources. I was indeed her financial backer. But I wasn't her sugar daddy. I didn't touch her."Stella laughed mockingly. "Then how did she get pregnant with your baby? Asexual reproduction?"Keegan frowned. "What do you mean pregnant with my baby?"Stella opened her social media app. Sh
Stella tidied the house up a little before she ran to the entrance to open the door.Standing outside the door, Trevor was holding a few bags. His eyes looked warm when he saw her. "Have you eaten?"Stella said, "Just ate."She saw he was carrying a lot of stuff. She hesitated before asking, "Trevor, you..."Trevor was stunned. He said, "It was Labor Day two days ago. Our company prepared some gifts. I wanted to ask you to go there and take them. But I'm going drinking with my friends tonight, so I dropped by to send you these gifts.""So many?"She had just signed the contract with the company. She had not even helped the company earn any money. But she had already received many benefits from the company."Let me take it." Stella stretched out her hand, wanting to take the gifts.Trevor avoided her hand. "It's a little heavy. You can't carry them. Open the door wider. I'll help you take these inside."Her boss came to visit her. He even brought her the gifts personally. Stell
