He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 83

Stella picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was a post from an influencer who had photographed Jarrod and Chloe at an international airport.

The photos captured Jarrod looking down at Chloe affectionately as he spoke, Chloe gazing up at him with a shy smile, and Jarrod protectively wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

The photographer had excellent skills, making every single shot radiate romantic tension and deep affection between the two of them.

Stella set the phone down calmly, the cold glass still lingering against her fingertips.

She looked at George. "The woman in the photo is the deputy director of my department. Jarrod was already with her when they were abroad. He only came back to the country and invested in our gaming company for her."

"This is entirely normal for them."

Stella continued flatly, "My marriage to Jarrod was always just a transaction. I have absolutely no right to question who he dates or who he loves."

"Is it that you don't have the right, or you simply don't care?" George raged.

"The fact that Jarrod kept her hidden before meant he was still trying to preserve your dignity as his wife. The only reason he's tearing up the facade now—cutting off our family's business deals and blatantly taking his mistress overseas—is because he caught you pulling some scandalous stunt!"

"Listen to me, Stella. Whatever it takes, whether you have to apologize or get on your knees and beg, you must get Jarrod to forgive you and take you back!"

In George's eyes, everything was always her fault, and his business interests would always outweigh her feelings.

Stella couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating laugh. "Dad, stop dreaming. Jarrod has already ordered his lawyers to draft the divorce papers."

George stopped dead in his tracks, pointing a trembling finger at Stella, entirely speechless for a long moment before glaring at her fiercely. "Humiliate myself? That's still better than sitting around waiting to die like you are! The business world follows the wind. If word gets out that we've offended the Fuller family, do you think we'll ever see a good day again?!"

"At the end of the day, you're just useless! You managed to ruin such an incredible marriage to the Fullers!"

Listening to George's reprimands, Stella let out another mocking laugh, unable to hold back anymore. "If marrying into the Fuller family was such a great prize, why didn't you have Seraphina marry him? She's capable, and she wouldn't have been hung up on someone else. Wouldn't that have been perfect?"

"You ungrateful brat! What the hell are you talking about!"

George's chest heaved with rage. "Seraphina was only twenty-one! She had to go study in Paris and chase her dreams, how could she possibly get married!"

Right. Seraphina had dreams to chase, so she couldn't get married at twenty-one.
