Chapter 1447
Stella raised her glass and clinked it against Darcie’s. She said, “Thank you, Mrs. Saun.” Her smile was friendly, yet it left one wondering if her gratitude was genuine.
Darcie returned the smile, her tone kind, “We’re family; there’s no need for formalities. You’re Wenham’s daughter and also a kin to Jaylene and me. If you ever need anything, just let me know.”
Stella nodded and lowered her gaze.
After bringing Danny to his seat, Wenham guided Stella to greet the other relatives and friends at their tables.
Trevor excused himself for a moment, and Stella was hesitant about following Wenham around. Surrounded by unfamiliar faces, she worried about handling conversations. To her surprise, she found little need to speak. As Wenham indulged in a few drinks, he became quite chatty. Stella only needed to greet the people and let Wenham do all the talking.
Whenever someone paid her a compliment, Wenham would linger for a chat.
After finishing their rounds, they went back to the center stage.
Trevor had also returned by this point. He leaned in to share a few hushed words with Wenham, who nodded in agreement. He cleared his throat and addressed the guests,
“Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention for a moment. I have an announcement to make.”
Darcie observed Wenham’s expression and felt uneasy because they did not discuss this segment.
Wenham continued as the room’s attention shifted, “I want to thank all of you for being here with us. Today’s banquet went smoothly. Stella has returned to her birth family, and as her father, I couldn’t be happier. As many of you know, Enchanted, now branded as Caline, was founded by my late ex-wife. After her passing, I’ve been overseeing it. Now that my daughter has returned, it’s only fitting that I entrust it to her care.”
