Joshua lowered his gaze and replied, "That's a bit much for my eyes."
Stella knew Joshua was talking about Aurora.
Perhaps it was a natural clash of personalities, but no matter what Aurora did, Joshua seemed to have nothing but disdain for her.
While everyone else was admiring Aurora's figure, Joshua found her to be an eyesore… Definitely not one to appreciate such displays.
Stella had seen enough to understand what had happened.
She said to Joshua, "Let's go back."
Joshua agreed, and they left together.
On the way back, Joshua asked, "Star, did you figure anything out?"
"She came prepared," Stella replied.
Joshua didn't look surprised. Instead, he smiled and asked, "How could you tell?"
Stella explained, "Even if Princess Wright did fall in by accident, there are so many staff members around the party. How could it be that Aurora just happened to be the one to save her? And today, from her dress to her makeup, Aurora was perfectly suited for a dip in the pool. She showed off her figure, but without any wardrobe malfunctions. Even if photos of this get out, she'll only be praised for her heroic deed. Saving a life like that makes her look like a saint in the public eye, and she presented herself so perfectly…"
Stella smiled wryly. "After this, not only will her previous bad reputation be completely wiped clean, but she'll probably gain a new one for being both beautiful and kind-hearted. Of course, the most important thing is that she can now connect with the princess of the Wright family."
A look of appreciation appeared in Joshua's eyes. "From what I know, Prince Wright just got engaged. He isn't married yet."
They exchanged a look, everything understood without a word.
The commotion by the pool eventually subsided, and the party continued.
Princess Wright was taken to the hospital. Aurora and Sellers were also gone, presumably having accompanied her.
In the past, Stella had never directly clashed with Aurora. Although they had lived under the same roof, they hadn't interacted much, and Stella wasn't familiar with Aurora's methods.
Now, having witnessed Aurora's scheme, Stella had to admit that she was indeed capable.
Back at the party, Stella and Joshua had just returned when a blond, blue-eyed man walked up to Stella.
"Star, it really is you!" The man's deep-set eyes lit up with undeniable surprise and delight.
Stella was also taken aback when she saw him.
"Noah?"
After a moment of surprise, Stella quickly remembered that Noah was from one of the four prominent families of Sylvaris. It wasn't unusual for him to be at an event like this.
Noah was someone Stella had met in Neo-Vespera when she accompanied Marvin Connolly to an international language contest.
At the time, a judge had accused her and Marvin of cheating. Noah, who was also a judge, asked her a few questions and was so impressed by her answers that he immediately defended her. He later invited her to join his translation team.
Stella had taken on a few jobs in Neo-Vespera, but between preparing for her concert and other competitions, she hadn't had much time for translation work.
