Felicity's gaze widened. "Damn, this is outrageous. Mrs. Chapman used to treat her so well."

"Mr. Chapman treats Mrs. Chapman very well too, but things just happen.

"Mrs. Chapman did everything she could for her husband and daughters, yet that was how Mr. Chapman repaid her. It's just impossible that she would swallow this humiliation and continue working together with Dahlia."

Stella paused and lowered her voice. Then, she added," Besides, didn't you notice?"

Felicity followed suit. "Notice what?"

"Mrs. Chapman's daughter had red eyes as if she had just cried. Mrs. Chapman's eyes looked the same too. She might not be happy with this Felicity did not understand what Stella was trying to say. "To be fair, her daughter will not be living with her anymore. It's perfectly normal for them to cry, no?"

Stella was taken aback and realized that what Felicity said somewhat made sense.

"I can't put everything into words, but I just feel that Mrs. Chapman has a purpose for doing what she did just now."

If Olivia did not like Stella, she did not have to do so many things.

Not only did she tell her second daughter to politely bring Stella to the dressing room, but she even put on such a show in front of Dahlia. Stella felt as though Olivia was sending a message to Dahlia. 'Did Mrs. Chapman notice that Dahlia was trying to do something?' Stella wondered.

However, she could not figure it out and decided to stay put.

The ceremony was scheduled for 7:15 in the evening. It was said that a fortune teller had chosen this time for them.

It was only six by then, and there was still plenty of time.

Ricky's mother was the chairwoman of a company, and many of his father's relatives worked for the government. With such a wide network, the guest list for the banquet was prepared for eighty-eight tables. There were going to be around a thousand guests, making it a very grand occasion.

There was still some time before the commencement, so people chatted and enjoyed the drinks, creating a lively atmosphere.

Occasionally, someone would approach Stella and Keegan to offer them a toast, but they would return it with their tea instead of alcohol.

Stella glanced at Keegan. "You were stealing my wine at home that day, yet you're rejecting drinks now? What happened?"

The word "steal" made Keegan choke. He glared at her and said, "What do you mean 'steal?' I was thirsty and thought it was water! "Oh..." Stella dragged on her voice. "I thought you were feeling guilty and wanted to use alcohol to cover up your mistakes." Keegan was taken aback.

Just as he was about to speak, Marshall's voice came from the side. "Stella, you're here too."

Stella paused, turned around, and greeted Marshall with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Moore."

Then, she saw Kayla standing next to Marshall. She was surprised. "Kayla? Did you guys come together?"

Kayla answered, "We ran into each other downstairs and came up together."

The two of them sat across Stella. Awkwardly, Marshall sat down between Kayla and Aurora.

Aurora had her gaze lowered as if she was not bothered at all.

Vermont looked at Marshall and Kayla, smiled, and said to Keegan, "Well, I have to say that Marshall and Ms. Wilson do look very good together. Mr. Wilson asks me about you all the time, and I thought that his daughter might have taken an interest in you and wanted to know you more."

Keegan responded calmly as if he was explaining to Vermont, "Mr. Wilson is simply trying to find his daughter a boyfriend. There's nothing more to it."

Marshall was taken aback. "Keegan, you remember Ms. Wilson?"
