Stella froze for a moment as if she understood.
But she did not.
Felicity spoke even more straightforwardly, 'What my mom meant was that we must have a child.
If Stinky Cucumber can't give me a child, then my mom will never agree to our relationship, no matter what.
"She needs someone to inherit her 'throne'.
I'm not up to the task, so she plans to have a little successor." Stella was speechless.
"It seems like our roles are switched,’ she thought.
Then, she asked bewilderedly, "What 'throne' does your mom have?" Felicity hesitated for a moment before pointing at the Deron Supermart at the side.
"Can you see that supermarket over there?" Stella glanced over, looked at it, and thought, ‘What does one of the top ten supermarket chains in the country have to do with her mom?" Then, she heard Felicity continuing, "She founded Deron Supermart.
Also, she has a lot of vegetable and fruit plantations, livestock breeding bases, various beverage and meat processing factories..." Stella was so shocked that she could not utter a word.
Felicity was always so low-key and even more financially savvy than her.
Stella had always thought that she came from an average working-class family and never considered that she might be a secret wealthy heiress.
Looking back, Stella noticed some signs.
For instance, Felicity always had a Deron shopping card, and the products there were not cheap.
While she hesitated when shopping elsewhere, she hardly ever checked prices at Deron.
Also, on one of Stella's birthdays, she gifted her a shopping card from Deron Supermart worth five thousand dollars.
However, Stella did not dare to accept it as she thought Felicity was drunk and had mistakenly reloaded the wrong amount.
Moreover, when Dahlia froze Stella's card, and she urgently needed to pay Rainee's medical fees, Felicity gave her a million dollars in no time.
Stella did not think much of it when Felicity said she got the money from her friend.
Later, she realized that one million was not a small amount, and given how urgent it was, even a good friend would need to consider the other party's ability to repay such a large sum.
So, Stella figured Felicity most likely got the money from her family.
Stella massaged her temples, still digesting the news of her best friend suddenly becoming the heiress of Deron Supermart.
"Hold up, why are you putting yourself through the hardships of a regular person when your family is so rich?" Felicity frowned.
"My mom is rich, not me.
She never wanted me to come to Rivera.
