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,
Everyone was curious. Aside from the giant mango on the first day of shoot, Stella had always kept a low profile on the set.Her food and accommodation were the same as everyone else. She had never been picky with the lunch boxes they gave her on set and ate whatever was given. After all, actors who were the slightest bit popular or came from well-off families were all very spoiled.Filming was one thing, but they would never let themselves suffer apart from filming. For instance, Bella and Yolanda had never eaten the lunch boxes on set. After they finished filming, people would escort them out with umbrellas and walk them to the car.The air conditioner was turned on in the car, and there were even specially-made meals. What was even crazier was that some people even brought their masseuses over to massage them in the car.This was why everyone could not help but feel curious about Stella's family.Stella smiled and told a half lie, "He's sort of... My ex, I guess."Everyone was
Stella did not know of this brand back then, so she was unaware of how expensive the bag was. She merely liked the bag because it was something Keegan had given her of his own accord, so she brought it everywhere.However, her actions made the ladies in the high society loathe her. They thought she was a beauty without a brain and was so lowly that she only knew how to show off her wealth.Once she realized how pricey the bag was, she hardly ever used it.But people still disliked her. They just found other reasons to criticize her.Over time, Stella began to see it. They weren't judging her fashion choices or how she showed off her money. It was the fact that she married into the Kane family so effortlessly, despite having nothing before. She had achieved a level of status that others could only imagine.After that, Stella stopped caring about what others thought.When she was unhappy, she shared photos of her jewelry on social media platforms; when she was happy, she also share
Keegan could not refuse the President's enthusiasm, so he forcefully pulled himself together and walked over with his glass.The President introduced him to the businessmen immigrants who had returned from overseas this year and had settled in Rivera, so Keegan inevitably had to interact with them in the future.The President very proudly introduced Keegan to everyone and kept on praising him. Naturally, these people knew of Keegan even if the President did not introduce him.The Vinci Rivera Group had been doing business abroad for a while now. Plus, Keegan was involved in a lot of their overseas projects. Every year, he traveled abroad to find talented people and offered them big salaries, which made him popular with international students.Everyone toasted each other and exchanged pleasantries.The discomfort Keegan felt seemed to have gotten even worse. While his nausea was relieved, he still felt dizzy, and the weakness in his limbs had intensified. Apart from these symptoms,
'This is awkward. This is really awkward. How could the attorney Felicity introduced to me be from Marshall's firm? That bastard. Why didn't she tell me? If I had known, I would've just directly consulted Marshall. What gossip is there to avoid? Now everybody knows. How awkward is that?' Stella thought.She scratched her head and tried to come up with an excuse, "Well... Well, it's just a small problem, and I feel like you've been pretty busy recently. Besides, it's just a consultation. I'll definitely go to you if I really need to go to court."When Marshall saw how Stella spoke carefully, worried that she would say things that made him upset, he suddenly felt a tenderness in his heart. He laughed and said warmly, "I'm not blaming you. You're helping our law firm's staff enhance their professional skills, so you're kind of helping me train them."Stella faked a laugh.'If it weren't for Marshall's earnest expression, I would've thought he was mocking me with such words,' she thoug
"It's gone."The moment Marshall spoke, Stella's entire body relaxed. However, she was driven by her curiosity and could not help but glance at his handkerchief. Then, she could not help but curse, "Fuck!"Marshall was speechless.He gripped his handkerchief, and within it was a bush cricket. Its plump legs were still kicking around wildly as its thin, long antennae moved about. Stella was terrified and felt her entire body itch like insects were crawling on her."Take it away! Take it away! Take it away!"Stella no longer cared about her image and slapped his arm. She swatted his arm and urged him to get rid of the insect promptly. Marshall chuckled and complied, taking the insect outside to release it.Upon his return, Stella was wiping her hair with a wet wipe provided by an attendant. She still appeared somewhat pale and visibly shaken.The other actresses who had been with her were nowhere to be seen, likely having gone upstairs.Seeing how Marshall had returned, Stella ha
Stella was bewildered.Marshall lowered his gaze and said softly, "Was it because I didn't win your case with Albert, so you don't trust me anymore and would rather consult an intern than me?"Stella was stunned.She quickly denied his question. "No. Why would you think so? Besides, it's not like we lost the case; we just dropped it. Furthermore, it's not your fault. Who would've thought that Albert and I were not biologically related?"Marshall lifted his gaze. He sounded a little hurt when he said, "Then why are you avoiding me?"Stella was at a loss for words."I'm not avoiding you..." Stella's voice trailed off as she suddenly did not know how to explain herself.'I can't possibly say it's because Keegan's jealous, right? After all, we haven't gotten back together. And even if we get back together, I still don't want to tell outsiders too much,' she thought.She continued, "I feel like the earnings from cases like mine are peanuts to you."Compared to your earnings from th
