Chapter 1511
'You know nothing. What gives you the right to take matters into your own hands?!" Kayla asked.
Stella stared at her without flinching, "Ms. Wilson, would your former friends mock you for not dressing in the latest
fashion?'
Kayla hesitated for a moment and pursed her lips, 'Of course, they wouldn't.'
Real friends are people who are there through thick and thin. They offer constructive criticism and support but
never betray.
'Ms. Wilson, there's nothing wrong with wanting to make friends or fitting into your surroundings. But you've got the
wrong people. Those who genuinely consider you a friend wouldn't try to take advantage of you.
'As you can see, many in this circle have masks on. They might look glamorous, but they are playing roles they
despise. But you don't have to do that. No matter how they talk about you, everything you have and the position
you hold is a height they can never reach.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'They stand in the shadows and criticize you while finding some satisfaction in it. They say you're a country
bumpkin. But when all of you are face to face, they can only fawn over you. A word from you could easily seal a
business deal for them. As I said, you don't need to conform to this circle. It's the people in this circle who should
cater to you."
Kayla pressed her lips together and stayed silent for a while.
Stella was unsure if she had made the right choice, 'Perhaps Kayla does not have the spoiled tendencies of
someone like Aurora, but would she realize the situation as I had hoped?' She decided not to say anything about the
situation, afraid it might just annoy Kayla.
"Ms. Wilson, if you want to return the jewelry you ordered from The Velvet, feel free to come by. It's my fault that
you couldn't receive the product on time. I'll cover any penalty fees,’ said Stella. With that, she nodded slightly at
Kayla and turned away.
Kayla was filled with confusion as she watched Stella leave.
Stella returned to Keegan's side with a dark face, "I overestimated my abilities," she said.
Keegan held her fingers and asked, "What's wrong? Did your attempt at making friends fail?'
"It's not exactly a failure, but it's not a success either. I was playing mind games from the start. I was truthful
because I feared she would feel uncomfortable and hold a grudge against me."
'It's okay. We'll find someone else if this deal doesn't work out.'
Stella fiddled his hands and spoke softly, "Actually, I pity Ms. Wilson. She genuinely wanted to integrate into this
circle and be friends with everyone. But those people only wanted to use her for their own gain. She knows all this
but still maintains a facade, pretending not to know anything. It's funny how she's conscious but still gets played like
a pawn."
Kayla lacked experience, unlike Mark, who knew how people talked behind his back. They called him a nouveau
riche and a lucky dog. Yet they did not know how much he had to endure to get to this state. He simply did not care
about what people said since they would still ask to work with him.' Kayla wouldn't be so troubled if she thought this
way,' Stella told herself.
Keegan glanced at her, "Am I not pitiable too? You dragged me here to attend this banquet, yet you were so
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmengrossed in your own matters that you didn't even have time to acknowledge me."
Stella was speechless. 'I'm doing this for you, aren't I? It's all to let you have a better life. Why cant you understand
that?" She joked.
Stunned by her words, Keegan replied, "Is it really necessary to live a comfortable life?"
'Yes, it is," Stella said earnestly. "I'm working hard right now so that if you ever want to divorce me after enjoying a
few years of easy living, I can say,' What? Divorce? Keegan, what right do you have to bring this up? I provide
everything you eat and own. Can you adapt to a life without this luxury? Can you even survive in this world?"'
'And you said you have a terrible memory. How are you able to remember all this when the time comes?"
Stella snorted, "My bad memory doesn't apply to grudges.’
She remembered every hurtful word Keegan had said in the past and was ready to refute each one when the
opportunity arose.
Keegan deeply regretted his comments earlier now that he was being attacked. It was unclear what he had in mind,
but he leaned in and whispered, "Can I propose you give me one billion dollars in exchange for me to stay in the
marriage?"
