Felicity slapped his hand away and glared at him. "Other people grow an inch taller after giving birth. I haven't even had a child yet, so I can definitely grow."Vermont raised an eyebrow. "Have some common sense. Other people get taller after giving birth because of cervix dilation. You're a young lady, so how would your cervix dilate?"Felicity wanted to roast him. However, after hearing him call her a young lady, she immediately forgave the Stinky Cucumber for his words.Vermont raised his head and looked at Marshall."Yoven and his wife are troublesome people, so why would you take this case?"Marshall answered while cutting his steak, "I don't have a choice. She's offering way too much.""Tsk." Vermont replied, "Are you someone who's short of that amount of money?"Yoven was not a good person, and neither was his wife.The couple was in cahoots and often used to send the young girls in their company to sleep with their company's partners.A few years ago, someone had eve
"Please give me the check for table 12. Thank you."The cashier immediately settled the check. Then, a bill was presented soon after.Marshall took out a card."Give me a receipt, please. Thank you."Just as the cashier was about to take his card, Stella went up and grabbed it. She handed the cashier another card and said, "Use mine."Right after Marshall left, Stella felt that something was a little amiss. So, she quickly ran after him. She did not expect him to be there to pay the bill.'There's no such thing as letting the guest you invited for a meal pay the bill,' she thought.Marshall smiled slightly. "Vermont ordered quite a bit. You just started working, and you need to spend money on many things. So, let me pay. You can treat me when your work has gotten stable.""You really don't have to," Stella rejected him. She continued, "I can afford to treat this meal. I was supposed to treat you to a meal when you helped me with the lawsuit previously, but I really had too many
Just as the cashier took the card, a message popped up on the computer screen. The cashier smiled and said, "The bill for table 12 has already been paid for."The two were stunned and looked at Stella.Meanwhile, Stella had a dumbfounded look."Let's go," Felicity hollered. She continued, "The bill has already been paid."Then, she handed Vermont's wallet back to him and patted his chest, saying, "Vermont is generous."Vermont felt offended by her comment.However, he felt relieved when Felicity called him "Vermont."As they exited the restaurant, Stella apologized to Marshall in a hushed voice."Mr. Moore, I'm really sorry about what happened earlier."Marshall smiled and said, "You weren't the one who shoved me, so you shouldn't be the one apologizing. Stella, you're just you now. You're not someone's appendage."Stella was momentarily startled. The word "appendage" made her feel slightly uncomfortable.'An appendage... I've always been an appendage of Keegan in other peop
'It's up to me how many points I'll add. If I add 0.1 points each time, he'll never get full points even until he grows old,' thought Stella.Stella imagined Keegan's face dropping after he worked his ass off, only to get 0.1 points. Suddenly, she was in a much better mood.Stella even patted him on the shoulder and said encouragingly, "Do your best."Keegan looked at her smug expression and felt his heart turn tender. Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the car. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her on her cheek."I will," he said in a low voice.Stella was startled and quickly checked her friends' reactions. Thankfully, they were all busy, and they did not notice them.She gritted her teeth and glared at Keegan."You touched me without my consent. 100 points deducted!"Keegan got annoyed. "You can deduct points too?""Duh! If I can add points, I can deduct them too!"Keegan asked, "Then, in what kind of situation will points be deducted?"Stella repeat
Stella's actions angered Bella's fans.Soon enough, the topic #StellaJewellColdBlooded became a trending topic.[Was she serious when she took a step backward?][There's no need for her to act this way even if she didn't help her, right? They're both in the same cast, so isn't this a little too heartless?][At least the others went up to check on Bella. What's the matter with her? Was she scared that Bella would bump into her? Why was she so far away?][Poor Bella. She got a colleague like her during filming?][If she didn't move away and helped Bella, she wouldn't have had such a severe fall. This person is so scheming!][I can't believe I thought she was good at acting. I didn't expect her to be a person like that. I've unfollowed her.][Sis, be a stan of someone better. Being a fan of someone like this is not worth it.][This person is Dusk Galaxy, the voice actor for Bella's character. She said she quit social media but started acting instead. In what way is this quitting
"That woman's lawyer." Yoven was watching the video as he followed Marshall's gaze and saw Stella."She looks a little familiar."Yolanda thought that Yoven was interested in Stella, so she squinted and pinched his chin. "Every pretty girl looks familiar to you, don't they?"Yoven put on a flirty look before turning around and pinning her down. "Come on. You're the only one I think about...""Stop it..."Suddenly, the room was filled with sensual noises again.Aldor frowned as he was scrolling through Facebook in Vinci Rivera's office.Keegan handed him a document and said flatly, "Photocopy this and hand them out."He did not get any response after a few seconds. So, he lifted his head and saw Aldor playing with his phone.He knocked his desk softly. "Do you want to take a few days of leave, so you can enjoy yourself?"The word, leave, immediately caught Aldor's attention. He was about to say yes, but he gave up the idea at the next second."Mr. Kane, a lot of netizens are
Felicity said after making fun of Keegan, "Did that bitch, Bella, take a picture of you after you came out last night?""It's probably not her. The media said there were no updates about her from the hospital yet." Stella frowned. She figured that Yolanda would then be the most suspicious person if it was not Bella.Stella did not expect that so many netizens would be scolding her after Bella was admitted to the hospital.Her account had less than two million followers, yet her latest posts just got several thousand new comments.The comments were either scolding her for not helping Bella, criticizing her for selling her body to gain fame, or demanding her to apologize.She was glad that she turned her private message off. Otherwise, she would have seen even worse comments about her.Besides, she had lost ten thousand followers because of what happened.Her avoiding their comments actually backfired.Whenever the netizens saw an old person falling down and had no one to help hi
"Got it." Stella paused before she asked, "Will my friend be involved in this too?""Of course. Bella is pretty famous, and the police will surely take her case seriously.""Okay, then. Bye for now."Stella hung up and called Marshall afterward.Marshall was reading case files in the office. He put down the files and picked up the phone after seeing Stella's incoming call."Mr. Moore, Bella is having an anaphylactic shock because she's allergic to coconut water."Marshall was stunned. "Miss Young is allergic to coconut water?"Clearly, Marshall did not know about that at all.So, Stella continued, "I heard that from my manager. They suspect that someone put some coconut water in the coffee on purpose. The police are involved, and they'll probably ask you some questions."Then, she added apologetically, "I'm so sorry that I got you into this."Marshall chuckled. "It has nothing to do with you. She's just unlucky. I brought so many types of coffee there, yet she just had to pic
