Aurora’s expression changed slightly. “You’re not even invited. Why would you go?”
Stella was puzzled. “To do business. She hasn’t settled the final payment for the jewelry she ordered.”
“Are you seriously going to do business on someone else’s wedding day? Are you out of your mind?”
At that moment, Stella felt annoyed. “Are you suggesting that I should wait until her ceremony ends and then collect the money? What if she changes her mind and doesn’t pay me?”
Aurora became nervous. “Is money all you think about? Why don’t you look at-“
She paused and clenched her jaws before she continued,” You’re already a part of the Saun family. Uncle Wenham is providing you with everything you need and want. Why are you still so obsessed with making money?”
Stella looked at Aurora, who was behaving strangely. After a brief silence, she said, “Who would complain about having too much money?”
Aurora was taken aback by what she said. Then, she responded through gritted teeth, “I’ve said what I needed to say. Don’t regret it if something goes wrong!”
Stella’s gaze darkened, as she asked, “And, what would go wrong?”
Aurora paused and pursed her lips. “I was just making an example.”
Then, she went upstairs.
Stella watched her receding figure and thought about something.
It was said that the groom was the only son of a deputy bureau chief, and he worked in the tobacco industry. The family had worked for the government for three generations and was rather prestigious.
Olivia’s husband, Erick, was promoted to mayor’s secretary at the end of last year. It could be said that he had a bright future ahead. Strictly speaking, this wedding was a marriage of power.
The wives in the social circle were all saying that Olivia had finally made it because her husband had succeeded.
finally enjoy a comfortable life in the future.
However, since the engagement, Stella had never heard Olivia mention anything about her son-in-law.
That made Stella very curious because Olivia was never a low-profile person.
She would want to brag just about anything that she thought was good. So, she found it very strange that Olivia never talked about him.
