Chapter 321
Seeing how Dahlia was silent for a long time, Cyrene smiled slightly and said, “You’ve been quiet for a while now, Dahlia. Are you dissatisfied with the arrangement? To be honest, what’s the difference between you and Stella organizing it? You’re both from the same family, so she’ll bring honor to your family if the banquet succeeds.”
‘And, by the same token, she’ll bring shame to their family if the banquet is botched,’ she thought.
Dahlia suppressed the frustration she felt within. Then, she lifted her head, and her gaze swept past Cyrene.
“Since mom wants to let Stella organize it, I obviously have no objections. I’m just a little worried that’s all,” she said calmly.
She turned to Stella and warmly said, “Stella, come to my place after this. I’ll tell you the whole flow. You can ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand. There’s no need to be frugal when money needs to be spent. In short, make it as perfect as it can get.”
Stella lowered her gaze and answered softly, “I understand.”
Regardless of what others thought about Cordelia’s arrangement, she seemed really happy herself. After they had finished discussing the business at hand, she said she was hungry and wanted to have dinner early.
‘While the rules in the Kane family aren’t considered a lot, the division of labor is really clear. When grandma discusses matters related to the men in the Kane family, none of the daughters -in-law will interrupt. On the other hand, when grandma discusses matters related to the women in the Kane family, the men in the family will hardly talk. For instance, when grandma discussed who would organize the birthday banquet, Keegan, Chandler and the rest did not take a stance from the beginning to the end,’ thought Stella.
At the dinner table, Cordelia asked about some matters related to the company. Most of the questions were answered by Chandler and Keegan, while the rest of them kept quiet.
After dinner, everyone had tea in the living hall. Meanwhile, Stella helped clear the plates and cutlery.
Corrin was really perceptive. She said to Stella in a low voice, “Mrs. Kane, you don’t have to worry about this. Go sit down and have tea with everyone in the living room.”
“It’s fine. Since I just had dinner, I want to move around to stimulate digestion.”
‘Since I took what Dahlia wanted, she won’t have a pleasant expression when she sees me. If I sit down next to Dahlia in the living room, she’ll probably feel incredibly uncomfortable. Since I’m also feeling uncomfortable, I might as well do some chores to feel more comfortable,’ thought Stella.
