Before Jolie finished introducing herself, she and Liam looked uneasy simultaneously.
Liam was very shocked. By rights, it was impossible for Stella to know Jolie. But how did she know that her surname was Young.
When he met Stellaâs eyes again, he could feel the warning in her eyes.
He quickly realized what she was thinking and told Jolie, âTheyâre calling you over. I have to accompany my girlfriend now.â
âIs having a girlfriend a big deal?â Jolie averted her eyes and left there reluctantly.
Liam went to coax Sherry, âDonât be angry. Sheâs like that. She likes to joke around, but itâs my fault that I didnât introduce you two to her clearly.â
Sherry moved away his hand, âIâm not angry. Never mind, you just go and accompany your friends. Donât mind me.â
âI do not want to accompany them, of course I want to be with you.â Liam whispered something in Sherryâs ears, then he pulled her outside. Sherry walked a few steps and turned around, âStella, wait for me for a while. Iâll be right back.â
âOkay.â
Soon after they left, Jolie approached Stella again, holding two glasses of wine in her hand, âOops, Iâm really sorry for just now. I will punish myself with a glass of wine.â
Stella said, âI donât drink.â
Jolie retracted her hand embarrassedly, âI heard from Liam that you are a jewellery designer. You must be quite good. When are you going to design jewellery for me? I will help you to promote it to my friends so that they will come to find you to design for them.â
Stella smiled, âNice. The price of the customized jewellery will be at least two hundred thousand Yuan. If Miss Young wants to buy, you can pay the deposit now.â
Hearing her words, Jolieâs expression slightly changed, âTwo hundred thousand?â
Jolie thought that Stella was not a famous designer and she thought the jewellery would only cost ten or twenty thousand at most, but she didnât expect that it would be at least two hundred thousand.
Stella added with a friendly tone, âThis is just the design fee, not counting the cost of the materials needed to do the jewellery.â
Holding her glass, Jolieâs became a bit unfriendly, and said perfunctorily, âThen Iâll think about it.â
Just as she was about to leave, Stellaâs voice came from her back, âMs. Young, your tactic to drive a wedge between them is really nasty.â
After Stella finished her words, she did not care about her anymore and left straight away.
When she walked to the door, she met Liam and Sherry who came back from outside.
It was obvious that Sherry had been coaxed by Liam, and she asked Stella, âStella, where are you going?â
âIâm going to the toilet.â
âThen I will accompany you.â
Hearing her words, Liam became very nervous and he hurriedly said, âSherry, didnât I say that I would bring you to meet my friends and colleagues?
None of them have ever met you...â
Sherry looked at him strangely, âI can meet them when I come back after accompanying Stella to the toilet also right?â
Liam who was very nervous became stunned and didnât know how to answer her question.
Stella smiled coldly when she looked at Liamâs anxious face, thinking that he was so brave to two-time Sherry and was finally afraid now when he knew that she might reveal his cheating.
Stella ignored him and only looked at Sherry, âSherry, Iâll go by myself. I will be back in a minute.â
âOkay,â Sherry said. She warned her that the road to the bathroom was a bit slippery and asked her to be careful.
âOkay.â
After Stella left, Liam pulled Sherry to his side and complained to her, âBaby, you care more about her than me.â
Sherry looked unhappy and said, âWhy do I need to care about you. You are a man, not to mention that Stella is pregnant now...â
She realized she had said something wrong so she stopped talking.
But Liam who heard her words was curious. He asked her a few questions, âIs she pregnant. But didnât she get divorced? Then who is her husband?
They must have been married for three years, right? Why did I never see him before?â
Sherry pushed him away, âStop. Donât ask so many questions. Go do what you need to do.â
Liam looked at Stellaâs back and thought about something.
Why did she hide her pregnancy from the public if she was married, unless it was...
...
Stella came out of the toilet and washed her hands. Just before she was about to leave, she met her acquaintance.
When Annie saw her, she was very furious, âWhy are you here!â
âIs this place owned by your family?â
As soon as she finished her words, she regretted saying them.
Because the Conrad family might really own the place.
Luckily, Annie did not sneer at her, but she glared at her with hatred, âDid you follow Horace here? Why are you such a shameless woman! If it wasnât for you, Horace and I would have been engaged a long time ago.â
Stella looked at her calmly and said indifferently, âWhat does it have to do with me? Isnât the marriage in your family always decided by your parents?
What do you take me for?â
Annie froze before she realized that Stella was taunting her. She blushed and turned angry. When she was about to slap her, she thought of something and retreated her hand, âStella, Iâm warning you, if you still pester Horace continuously. Next time the one you meet wonât be me again.â
Annie was usually impulsive but she was not a fool. During this time, she could clearly see that she was not the only one who wanted to make the marriage happen.
Her uncle seemed to want her to marry Horace even more than she did.
Stella replied, âOkay.â
She didnât care at all who Annie would marry, she just ... really felt bad for Horace if it was him.
Annie saw her indifference and gritted her teeth. She said, âStella, just wait and see! Firstly, you married Clarence using unscrupulous measures, and now youâre trying to seduce Horace. You will be punished by God for sure!â
Stella smiled indifferently, âThen will you be punished by God? Annie, you can deny what youâve done, but I also hope you wonât forget the phrase âpunished by Godâ that you just said.â

In the corridor, Phoebe swept a glance at Stellaâs belly when she passed by her.
Since she was pregnant, Stella had been always wearing loose clothing, and since the baby was only three months old plus she was thin, no one could actually notice that she was pregnant.
But this made people suspect her more.
Phoebe walked over to Annie and asked, âAnnie, who were you talking to just now?â
Annie said with hatred, âA shameless woman!â
âWell, thereâs no need to get angry over someone you donât care about. Are you still going to look for Horace?â
Only then Annie realized that she had come here to meet with Horace.
Recently, Horace had been avoiding her, as she couldnât find him.
Today, thanks to Phoebe telling her that Horace was here to talk to his business partner, she rushed over.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Stella, the shameless woman!
