Chapter 2143
Stella shook her head.
She had asked Trevor about this before.
Jaylene’s full nused to be Jaylene Arnold. When Darcie first married Wenham, she did not have Saun as her
last name. Later, during a parentteacher meeting, Darcie fell ill and could not attend. So, Wenham went on her
behalf.
Wenham had never attended Jaylene's parent-teacher meetings before. Her teachers did not know him, so they
had to find out their relationship first. That was when the teachers found out that the father and daughter had
different last names.
They only realized that Darcie had remarried then. Being in elementary school, the most talkative and insensitive
age, Jaylene's identity as a stepdaughter quickly spread across the school.
She got upset and refused to go to school. She cried and asked Wenham why Trevor had the slast nas
him while hers was different. Everyone was saying that she was not Wenham’s daughter.

Wenham had always been a soft-hearted person. If Darcie had said it, he might not have agreed. However,
Jaylene was only seven or eight years old at that time. He just could not bear to see a little child crying like that.
So, he changed her last name.
After Stella explained the whole story, Felicity said, Tve always wondered why your dad could raise Trevor as
such a good person, yet Jaylene is nothing like him. It turns out she's been like this since she was little!
"How could she not know why she had a different last nfrom them when she was already seven or eight
years old? I'm pretty sure that your stepmother taught her to do so!
"That is the only way she can enjoy the privilege of being the Saun family's daughter and officially beca part
of the family as tgoes by!"
Felicity was right. People who were not very close with the Saun family all thought that Jaylene was Wenham's
biological daughter.
This misconception only ended when the Saun family held a party to welcStella back.
Of course, it also had to do with Wenham introducing her to everyone they met.
Whenever they attended events together, he would introduce her to others, saying, "This is my daughter, Stella
Hall. She wants to bear her mother's last nbecause she likes it."
And when someone mentioned Jaylene, he would say, "Jaylene is more like her mother, and Stella is more like
me. | mean, like father like daughter,
right?"
At first, Stella thought Wenham had said them unintentionally, but she changed her mind as this happened more
frequently.
Vermont lifted his gaze at Stella. "You managed to steal that big client from Darcie just like that? Could it be that
Keegan helped you?"
Keegan said flatly, "No, | didn't know about it at all."
Felicity thought to herself, 'What's wrong with him? He didn't do anything to help, yet he can speak so
confidently."
Vermont did not believe it at all. Keegan was someone who would spend the whole day on set when Stella was
filming, and with something as big as this, he refused to believe that Keegan would sit back and do nothing.
However, before he could say anything, Felicity elbowed him. "Why are you doubting her? Stella is the best; she

Vermont rubbed his stomach with a painful expression. "Why did you hitright after | ate?"
Felicity instantly felt a little bad. "I didn't even hit you hard. Quit pretending." "It was hard enough to knock me
out." Vermont sighed as he continued," Can you please stop getting so physical with me? Are we dating, or are
we sparring partners?" "Fine, fine. I'll stop it."
Felicity reached out to massage his stomach. "You're so fragile."
Vermont was speechless.
Keegan tapped Stella under the table. She looked at him and followed his gaze, noticing a red mark around
Vermont's neck.
She widened her gaze in shock. ‘Wow! | can't believe it! | always struggle to give Keegan a hickey, yet Felicity
just left a ring around Vermont's neck! Her lung capacity is unbelievable!
Vermont met Stella's gaze and suggested flatly, "You two have eaten a lot.
Why don't you take a stroll downstairs to help with the digestion?"
