Chapter 1590
Stella chuckled when she heard what Darcie had said, "If I were truly ruthless, I would have invited his wife,
daughter, and mistress to join us today. I spared him out of respect for you, Mrs. Saun."
Darcie's face turned even paler. Without a word, she turned and briskly walked away.
Stella watched as she retreated, her gaze cold.
Not long after Darcie left, the police arrived. They escorted Chris out of the store through the back door. Only then
did Stella return to the lobby.
Upon entering, she spotted Kayla looking at her. She was about to greet her, but Kayla immediately turned around
to chat with someone else.
Stella was taken aback.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKayla sat on the sofa and pretended to engage in conversation for a while. When she turned her head, Stella was
nowhere to be found.
She looked left and right while furrowing her brows, wondering where Stella had disappeared to. Just then, a cup of
coffee appeared in front of her.
"Looking for me?" Stella said as she smiled at Kayla.
Kayla did not answer. She took the coffee, wanting to say something, but was feeling unsure how to begin. She felt
a bit awkward.
In the end, Stella broke the silence, "Thank you for helping me today. Without you, I might not have handled it so
smoothly."
Kayla traced her fingers along the cup's edge, feeling a bit uneasy, "I just thought the pieces were nice, so I came
to take a look. Don't read too much into it."
Stella chuckled softly, "Regardless of the reason, I still want to express my gratitude."
Maggie had just told her everything. While Stella was dealing with Chris, Kayla asked about jewelry maintenance on
WhatsApp. In passing, she had inquired about Stella's situation.
Maggie touched on the company's affairs and inferred that things might get more complicated with Darcie's arrival.
Shortly after, Kayla arrived at the store with her entourage and put on this little performance.
Stella regained control of the situation in one swoop, leaving Darcie speechless. She was unsure why Kayla had
helped her, 'Is it possible that the magazines I sent made her realize I truly wanted to be friends with her?'
"The looks in the magazines you sent are terribly unattractive," Kayla pursed her lips and said. It appeared as
though she had read her mind.
She added, "That scarf you helped me pick out the other day was much better."
Stella could not help but suppress her smile as she observed how weird Kayla acted, "Would you like to meet my
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpartner? I'm sure you two would hit it off," she asked.
Keegan and Kayla were both equally headstrong. They tend to say one thing and mean another and are always
ready to defend others.
Stella's statement caught Kayla off guard. It took her a moment to respond, "You don’t need to thank me by
introducing your partner to me. I don't find him appealing anyway."
Stella's mouth twitched. She thought Kayla was simply being overly imaginative at first. Yet, she was surprised by
her words, 'What does she mean when she said she doesn't find Keegan appealing?'
"Isn't he attractive?" she asked.
Kayla shook her head, "I don't think so."
Stella was about to suggest Kayla get her eyes checked when she saw Kayla's eyes gleaming with interest, "Who's
that handsome guy over there?"
'Let's see who she's referring to,' thought Stella. Right after she turned around, she heard someone call her name.
