Chapter 1457
Stella smiled.
Mrs. Chapman...No, Olivia Warren was a very clever person who knew exactly what to do at the right time.
If she were to make any demands, she would be seen as someone who could be mutually beneficial to Stella at
most, but she did not take the opportunity to claim any credits. Instead, she told Stella that there was no loss on her
side, and it was a win-win situation. So, there was no need for Stella to be so courteous. Her words suddenly made
Stella like her a lot more.
Stella was about to say something, but Olivia's husband, Erick Chapman, walked over.
He politely greeted Stella. "Hello, Ms. Saun."
Stella nodded and said in a flat tone, "Mr. Chapman, are you here for your wife?"
Erick smiled faintly. He was an average-looking man who was relatively chubby. His physique resembled the
stereotypical boss who loved to brag just about anything and had literally nothing exceptional about their looks.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough Olivia was about fifty years old, she loved interacting with others, and her physique was well- maintained.
Her face did not look very youthful, but her features hinted at how attractive she looked in her younger days.
Stella could not figure out how such a beautiful and intelligent woman would end up with a man like Erick.
Erick said, "I came to pick up my wife, and I just found out that you're Wenham's daughter who had just returned to
the Saun family. Congratulations."
Olivia's tone turned softer as soon as she saw her husband." I told you I'd go home by myself. It's very late. Why did
you still come here? You're leaving for a business trip tomorrow morning, aren't you?"
"Yes, and that is why I wanted to see you before I go. Just to ease the pain of missing you for the next few days."
Stella was speechless.
She admitted that she had yelled at Keegan too harshly before.
However, Keegan had the looks. Even if he said something cheesy, it would still sound romantic.
But... what Erick said shocked Stella to the core.
Stella felt like she was going to throw up after listening to what Erick said and how he pretended to be gentle with
Olivia.
However, Olivia was already used to the way Erick spoke. She smiled gently and said, "Wait for me here. I'll wrap
things up and go home with you in a while."
Then, she shot Stella a glance and walked away.
Erick began to size up Stella as soon as Olivia left.
He was aware of the bad blood between Stella and his wife, so he could not figure out why the Saun family would
organize the banquet here. He even saw the two of them standing very close to each other. Although he could not
hear what they were talking about, it was enough to make him anxious.
He was worried that Stella might say something about him to Olivia at this critical moment. Olivia was still useful to
him, so he could not afford to let anything go wrong with their marriage.
Stella stood in place for a while before she turned around.
However, Erick stopped her. "Ms. Saun."
Stella shifted her gaze back at him. "How can I help you?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmErick opened his mouth and spoke hesitantly, "I'm in a very happy relationship with my wife, and I still love her very
much even though I've made some mistakes. I don't want her to get hurt."
Stella stared at him for a few seconds before she flatly said, "I'm not interested in meddling in your relationship.
Besides..." She smiled coldly and said in a malicious tone," She had caused me so much trouble back then, why
would I tell her about her husband cheating on her and having a child with his lover? I should at least wait until you
have your first grandchild, so she can feel the crushing disappointment of all her lifelong efforts going to waste in
an instant."
Then, she left without waiting for Erick to respond.
Erick heaved a sigh of relief, as he thought to himself.' Phew. I'm glad that Stella still hates Olivia.'
When Stella went back to Keegan and the others, she could not help but scold, "What a shameless being! How
could he have the audacity to bring that up?"
"What's wrong?" Keegan was puzzled.
Then, Stella told him what happened.
In fact, Stella did not trust Olivia very much when Olivia proposed to work together with her.
