Stella wasn't bothered by Olivia's call because she had upset Olivia greatly at Cordelia's birthday party. Olivia was only following Dahlia's instructions because she wanted to assist her husband with his work.However, Olivia's husband not only had a secret lover but also had an illegitimate child with them. Olivia never expected her close friend Dahlia to keep such secrets from her, despite knowing about them for a long time. Stella couldn't find any reason not to resent Dahlia.Stella suspected that Olivia might have had something to do with the accident at the birthday party. She had no interest in whatever Olivia was proposing.Olivia was sharp and tactful, managing to completely avoid involvement in the fireworks accident. This showed Stella how cautious Olivia could be. She was worried that Olivia might try to set her up if she associated with her. So, she immediately blocked Olivia because she wanted to stay away from any involvement with her."Bella, your bag is so beautif
"But the pictures she took were incredibly detailed, and it didn't seem like a fake at all. A friend of mine wanted to rent the bag for a photoshoot, but the seller insisted on selling it. When she finally saved up enough money and contacted the seller again, it was already gone. So, I doubt it's a fake. Besides..." The person hesitated. "I believe Bella's bag has the same serial number as the one I saw online."The atmosphere became a little strange after that person said that.That person was implying that Bella bought the bag on a website that sold used items, and the bag was pre-owned. Bella was a rising fashion icon in showbiz and that was the last thing she wanted others to know she did.Everybody shifted their gaze to Bella. However, Bella acted rather calmly as she put on a faint smile. "You've probably made a mistake. I bought this from an authorized store."Stella looked for a moment before looking back at her phone.'An authorized secondhand store.'She did not have an
"I watched that show too! I was completely shocked when the door was pushed open. That's literally my dream room!""I mean, isn't that the dream of every woman in this world?""Bella is so humble. I don't see her showing off her collection at all. I'd have a rotation of different bags every day without using the same one for a month!"Bella smiled. "Most of them were gifted by my sponsors. I only bought a few bags, and some of the purchases were work-related. There were some outdated designs, and I plan to get rid of them or give them away. I'm running out of space."Her words made the actresses both envious and jealous.None of the actresses would give their bags away, even if they were only worth a few thousand. Bella could only do that because she was famous and earned much more than them.Yolanda gazed at Stella, who was wiping the sauce off her phone screen. Then, she suddenly said, "Why don't you give some of them to Stella? Even though bag designs are very subjective, usin
Stella smiled. "It wouldn't be right for me to let you down since you're being so kind to me."Forget about tomorrow since we don't have anything to do now anyway."I remember you live not far away from here, right? Why don't you take me there to have a look today?"Then, she said jokingly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to give me any bags after tomorrow."Bella paused. 'Did Stella get so poor after the divorce that she went crazy? Can't she tell that I was only trying to embarrass her? Why would she even say yes to that? Is she out of her mind?'Stella's words left Bella no choice but to play along. "Everybody here heard what I said. Of course, I'll honor my promise, but—""Let's go then," Stella cut Bella off before she could finish her sentence. She stood up and put on a happy look. "I kind of want to see what every woman's dream room looks like."Yolanda scoffed. 'Is she really feeling excited to get someone's used bags? Once a lowlife, always a lowlife!'Then, she turned a
Stella swept her gaze across Yolanda.'Olivia was the last person who tried to embarrass me like that. Could Yolanda be her long-lost daughter?'However, Olivia only wanted to flatter Dahlia for the sake of her husband. I just can't figure out what Yolanda is trying to get by doing this. She would even praise Bella no matter what she did. Is Bella giving her a cut from her earnings?'Bella can't be considered one of the top actresses, and she doesn't even know any wealthy person. She has some connections with third-rate producers, but that's it. She doesn't even know how to pick the right script for herself. How could she help Yolanda?'Perhaps Yolanda isn't doing this for anything; she just hates me.'Stella smiled. 'I'm good. However, you seem like you're in a rush more than me. Why don't you ask Bella for one or two bags too? You're so close with her, and I'm sure that she won't let you go home empty-handed."Yolanda could be very quick-witted when it came to things like this.
Stella said, "I don't quite have the space for them in my house, so I plan on placing them at a friend's."A while ago, Keegan had been getting people to send Stella lots of shoes and clothes, so her clothes room was full and could not fit the bags.To others, however, Stella's words meant her house was so small she had to store her bags in her friend's house. She sounded incredibly broke.Everyone could not help but gaze at her with sympathy.'Why is she challenging Bella when she doesn't have what it takes?' they thought.Meanwhile, Yolanda was not that nice about it; she outright said mockingly, "She's asking you to pick two; do you think you're doing wholesale?"Stella was not angered. She answered coolly, "Bella's going to throw them out anyway. Besides, doesn't she like helping newcomers? Isn't giving the bags to me better than throwing them out?"Her words put Bella in a difficult spot.While the bags were outdated, one could still get quite some money back if they sold
Stella's friend was no other than Timothy Elrod, the boss of the secondhand store where she had bought her bag.Timothy did not come alone; he even brought a staff member from the store with him. The two trailed behind Stella and slowly walked into the room with the bags.Timothy was really famous in the secondhand luxury goods market. Since many celebrities and influencers had traded with him, the actors present immediately recognized him the moment he appeared.'How could Stella's friend be Timothy?' everyone wondered.Then, they heard Stella say, "Please help me take a look at all of these bags, Timothy."Timothy nodded and immediately got his staff to examine them.The two took out gloves, glasses, and various examination tools from the toolbox. Then, they started verifying the bags in the cupboard.After the staff member checked the bags, he handed them to Timothy, who inspected them carefully. Then, Timothy took a photo with his tablet and wrote down their appraisal.Ever
Practically everyone in the fashion industry knew the social status of a private customized Ebenezer among luxury goods.Bella recognized the value of a custom-made Ebenezer far surpassing that of all the bags in her possession. 'Scratch that; the value of this bag cannot even be measured with money. It's a one-and-only fashion item that has an enormous collection value. If Stella's bag is genuine, I practically embarrassed myself by shamelessly boasting about giving her the bags.'Meanwhile, Yolanda was still shouting."Can't the code be faked? Nine out of ten of Ebenezer the Prodigy's bags online are fake. Who knows if hers is a realistic imitation?"Timothy frowned and said, "Madam Fenley, you bought that Cartier bracelet on your wrist from Mrs. Fell, didn't you?"Yolanda was taken aback. She covered her bracelet out of reflex and said with a slightly flustered expression, "What nonsense are you spouting? My bracelet is brand new!"Timothy said while gripping Yolanda's wrist,
