Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 150

To prevent any more alcohol-induced fiascos, it was definitely best to end the party early.

The crowd had already gotten their fill of drama, eaten the cake, and networked with whoever they wanted to, so no one really had any interest in sticking around. They began to filter out.

Stella said her goodbyes to Sylvie, ready to head home herself.

"Stella, can't you just stay the night with me?"

"Careful, Sylvie, people are going to start misunderstanding us. My orientation is perfectly normal."

"Ugh, Stella, you're the worst! I'm being serious, and you're just making fun of me."

Stella pinched her cheek affectionately. "I won't stay tonight, but I'll come hang out with you when I have time. Happy birthday!"

Sylvie hugged her tightly, reluctant to let go. "School's about to start again, it's going to be so hard to see you."

Stella patted her back. "Not at all. You come home on the weekends, right? We'll just make plans then."

"Alright. Did you drive here? If not, I can have my brother take you home."

"No need, I drove myself."

After bidding farewell to the Jennings parents, Stella walked out.

As she reached the parking lot, a car next to hers honked its horn.

She walked over and saw Julius Blackwood. He stepped out of the driver's seat and stood by the open door.

"What are you doing here?"

"To take you home." With her gone, the house felt far too empty.

"I drove myself here."

"It's fine, my bodyguard can drive your car back. Get in."

Julius held the passenger door open for her. Once she was seated, he closed it and slid into the driver's seat.
