Chapter 47 I'm Talking About Miss Stella Taylor
Liam chuckled on the other end of the phone.
However, the meaning of his laughter was not clear. Oliver racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. He could only continue to ask stiffly, "Noah... Why did your wife come to see me? Is it work-related?"
Liam paused for a moment, thinking of Stella studying Oliver's profiles on the computer all night, and that unpleasant feeling surged up again.
"Because you're hot!" he huffed before hanging up the phone.
Oliver was nervous all day.
In the end, he decided to respond to changes with constancy and see what Stella would do next.
...
Later that day, Stella waited alone at the entrance of Evergreen Manor.
This magnificent building, like a castle, was brightly lit and bustling tonight. Private roads in all four directions were filled with luxury cars, and some people even landed their private planes on the tarmac in the hotel's backyard.
Those who could enter were all distinguished. They were either rich or noble.
Stella, dressed simply, seemed out of place.
She tried to hide behind a stone pillar to avoid the crowd but still looked around from time to time for fear of missing Oliver.
However, there were so many beautiful women and dazzling stars here, and every luxury car seemed to look similar. It was really difficult to find someone in this crowd.
Stella sighed and continued to wait with her documents.
Soon she saw several familiar figures walking toward her.
She was taken aback, but it was too late for her to hide.
Amelia coughed heavily and shouted in a pinched voice, "Stella?"
Henry and her stepmother, Madison, also stopped abruptly.
Stella slowly showed her head from behind the pillar with an awkward expression and nodded lightly to say hello.
"Stella?" Henry was no less surprised than Stella. "What are you doing here?"
She bit her lip and remained silent.
Amelia folded her arms on her chest, walked around Stella in her high heels, and sized her up with a sneer. "Do you think this is a place you can come to? Don't tell me that you're here for the party."
"What? You gotta be kidding me," Madison chimed in. "Stella, didn't you look at yourself in the mirror before coming out? Dressed like this for such an occasion, isn't it embarrassing? Do you dream of being noticed by Mr. Noah Martinez? Even if you climb onto his bed, he'll only find you disgusting!"
"That's right! You've already married someone. Instead of staying at home with your worthless husband, you came here to make a fool of yourself! Just like your mother, you can't live without hooking up with men?"
