Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 I Love It as Long as It's a Gift From My Husband

Ava was boiling with anger, her face flushed with embarrassment.

She had always been conscious of her reputation, and now it had been shattered completely. Taking out all her anger on Stella, she instinctively raised her hand to strike but was restrained by the people around her.

They pointed toward the surveillance cameras on the ceiling, advising her to restrain herself for the moment.

Glaring at Stella, Ava gritted her teeth as she said, "What's so great about marrying a penniless bum? Forget about a diamond ring. He probably can't even afford a ring made of copper or iron! You and your wretched husband are destined to live a life of poverty!"

With that, she turned and walked away while Stella observed her infuriated figure and curled her lips into a subtle smile.

Looks like there won't be any peaceful days ahead in this company.

She realized she needed to start planning and find an exit strategy.

...

The following day, Stella appeared different when she arrived at the company.

Not one to wear makeup usually, she had applied a subtle touch today. And there was something new adorning her hand-a large emerald ring.

Her colleagues in the office widened their eyes and gazed in astonishment. The ring's setting was crafted from pure gold and adorned with intricate engravings on the band. The translucent green emerald on top exuded a sense of opulence and luxury.

However, the design of the ring seemed a bit old-fashioned, reminiscent of antique styles.

Lowering her head, Stella gently touched it.

She had taken the ring out of the box the previous night. Her fingers were slender, and it was slightly too big for her. Liam had suggested taking it to a jewelry store for resizing, but she could not wait.

Did Ava not say that her husband could not even afford a ring? Today, she was determined to show her what she wore on her hand!

"Stella, this ring is stunning!" Her female colleagues gathered around, admiring it with curiosity. "I've never seen such a unique design before. Did you have it specially made?"

"But it looks so old." Someone objected. "It's like a piece of antique."
