Chapter 433

Tallulah was scared pale.

“You!” Tallulah gasped, her breath coming in short, panicked bursts, her eyes wide with fear.

Stella slowly raised her hand, and as if on cue, Blackie slithered down from her hairpin, coiling around her wrist. In the mirror, Tallulah’s face was as white as a sheet.

“Let me spell it out for you…” Stella turned lazily, her green wide-sleeved silk robe billowing gracefully with her every move. She strolled over to Tallulah, leaned down, and pinched her chin between her fingers.

She forced Tallulah to look up and meet her gaze.

“I know exactly what you’re trying to pull, but I’m not about to let you have it your way,” Stella said, her voice low and dangerous.

Tallulah’s eyes widened in shock.

Those deep amber eyes seemed to see right through Tallulah, cold and sharp as a blade, slicing through every bit of her disguise.

Tallulah tried to act calm. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Stella let out a soft, mocking laugh.

Stella gave a playful chuckle.

She released Tallulah’s chin, casually grabbed a tissue from the table, and wiped her hand with exaggerated slowness. “We’re all foxes here, so drop the act.”

With that, she flicked the tissue right at Tallulah’s face.

“Looks like Matthias is getting a little desperate lately,” Stella said, idly playing with Blackie as she looked down at the pathetic-looking Tallulah.

Tallulah was stunned. “You know exactly who I am, and you still…”

She thought, “The Reed family might not be quite on the same level as the Clinton or Knight families, but in Jaffina, they are still a top-tier, highly respected clan.

‘And yet, Stella actually dares to put me in my place, even knowing exactly who I am?’

“You’re just Mrs. Reed, that’s all,” Stella drawled, her lips curling into a lazy, mocking smile.

Stella didn’t bother to hide the contempt in her eyes. The way she said “just” and “that’s all” cut especially deep for Tallulah.

Tallulah was speechless.

She was so furious she couldn’t even get a word out.

But in the very next moment, Stella lifted her hand and pressed her left ear, hidden beneath her long hair. Her tone was icy and calm. “Director, are you here yet?”

Tallulah stiffened in alarm.

“Here,” came the Director’s reply.

The door opened.

Director’s rugged face appeared in the doorway, and right behind him, the staffer who’d been hyping him up earlier, plus the calligraphy teacher who was supposedly nursing a “broken wrist,” were shoved inside, both looking pale as ghosts.

“Ms. Carter!” Fabian, fresh off the plane from Haliville, marched in with his chest puffed out, clearly fishing for praise.

He thought ‘I just landed and already jumped in to help Stella handle the mess. Man, I really am the MVP.

Stella shot a glance at the calligraphy teacher, whose wrist was wrapped up tight, then tapped her finger lightly. “Fabian.”

Fabian puffed up his chest. “Yes!”

He marched right up to the calligraphy teacher and got straight to work, unwrapping the bandages from her wrist without saying a word.

“You. I’m going to report you for harassment!” the calligraphy teacher yelped, scrambling to get away from him. The lounge door was wide open, and everyone backstage was watching, gossiping in hushed voices.

With the earpieces live, all the noise was broadcast straight into the ears of every crew member and performer at the party.

Fabian didn’t even flinch at her screeching, just kept going until the last strip of bandage was gone. The director’s face was stormy, as if he were about to explode.

The director growled, “So your wrist is ‘broken,’ huh? How much did they pay you for that little act?”

The calligraphy teacher’s eyes flickered everywhere, but she wouldn’t dare look at the director.

“Suddenly mute, are you?!” the director barked, his voice echoing through the room.

He slammed his fist down on the table, and everyone crowding the doorway froze, not even daring to breathe.

“Two and a half million for the two of them. Figures, dumb as rocks!” Fabian snorted, cracking up as he said it.

Fabian laughed for a bit, but when nobody joined in, his laughter died awkwardly.

How awkward! John rolled his eyes.

“Two and a half million, huh? Oh, that’s just perfect!” The director laughed in fury. “Mrs. Reed, I’ll be reporting this straight to the higher-ups. And if the Reed family dares to step foot in Jaffina Channel after today, hell, I’ll go die!”

Tallulah bit her lip, her eyes brimming with tears. “Director…”

The director ripped off his earpiece. “Don’t think nobody knows about all the dirty laundry your Reed family’s been hiding. Do you think you own Jaffina Channel or something?”

He snorted.

He jabbed a finger right at Tallulah’s nose. “Get out!”

With a loud bang, he kicked over a trash can and stormed out.

Stella just lounged off to the side the whole time, her lashes lowered, a half-smile that was almost a smirk on her face. She looked totally relaxed, but there was a ruthless vibe about her, no matter how chill she seemed.

Ever since she married into the Reed family, Tallulah had never been humiliated like this before.

Her face was a mess of red and pale, and when she scanned the crowd at the door, all those nosy onlookers were whispering and pointing. It just made her even madder.

She whipped her head around to Stella, voice shaking with anger. “Are you satisfied now?”

Stella arched an eyebrow, looking like she couldn’t care less. “Not really. I was hoping for a bit more drama.”

“What the hell?” Tallulah stared, completely thrown off.

“Seriously, what did I ever do to piss you off?” Tallulah snapped, her voice shaking with

anger.

Stella lazily stroked Blackie’s head, then looked up with icy calm. “Rumor has it, the Reed family’s favorite grandson, the one Hendrix spoiled rotten, tried to force himself on his sister-in-law the very night of his grandfather’s funeral.”

She added, “Got caught in the act and booted out of Jaffina before sunrise.”

Tallulah’s eyes went wide in shock as the words hit her.

She never expected someone would throw that dirty laundry in her face, right here, right now.

Tallulah’s face turned stormy. “So, are you one of Allan’s people?”

Fabian was stunned.

John rolled his eyes.

They thought, ‘She doesn’t just throw that kind of thing around!’

Stella gave a smile that never reached her eyes. “Tallulah, I’m dying to know something. Care to enlighten me?”

Tallulah’s voice suddenly went shrill, her nerves fraying. “I seriously have no clue what you’re even talking about!”

She’d never been this flustered and desperate before, completely losing her cool.
