FreeNovelChapter 626
Marshall paused for a while before he continued, "Just call me by my first name from now on. A friend
wouldn't address each other as mister or miss, right?" "Sure, Mr. Moore."
Marshall was dumbstruck.
Stella coughed. ’I mean... Marshall."
The fire was finally put out about ten minutes later.
More than ten guests were injured by the fire, but fortunately, it was not severe. The medical staff took
care of them very quickly.
Baldwin protected Cordelia and Lancelot, so none of them were hurt.
However, Baldwin's back was burned.
Cordelia hurriedly got a doctor to treat Baldwin’s wound.
Dahlia came over with ashes on her face and said in a low voice, "Mom, are you okay?"
There were a few holes in her dress. Her hair hung loosely after she ran for her life. She looked like a
complete mess.
Cordelia swept her cold gaze across her. "You gave me such a big surprise!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDahlia's face turned pale, and she defended herself subconsciously. "Mrs.
Chapman was the one responsible for the fireworks..." "What else do you know other than blaming
somebody else?" Cordelia was furious when she thought about how Dahlia left her behind and ran
away when the fireworks shot right at them. Even Cyrene yelled for Cordelia to watch out, but Dahlia
acted as selfish as ever even though she had been in the family for thirty years!
"Get away from me!" Cordelia said with a cold face. "I have high blood pressure. Don't let me see your
face!"
Dahlia clenched her fists tightly and her face looked awful.
Cyrene came over with a cup of water. "Mom, have some water. Don't get too angry or your health will
be affected. Jackson is checking what went wrong with the fireworks. We're going to find out what
happened."
Cordelia took the water and said, "Cyrene, would you send Mr. Lancelot home for me? I feel so sorry
for what happened today. Prepare some gifts and pay him a visit personally some other days." "Mom,
don't worry about it. I'll get it done."
Cyrene looked at Dahlia, who had ashes all over her face, and smirked." Dahlia, you should clean
yourself up. After all, you're the eldest daughter-in- law of our family. You've got to at least look better."
Dahlia got so angry that her fingers trembled. She knew very well that what happened made Cordelia
lose trust in her, and her presence was only going to annoy Cordelia.
So, she clenched her fists and left with a cold face.
Cordelia told Keegan to come over after both of her daughters-in-law left.
Then, she asked softly, "How's Stella?"
Keegan pursed his lips and said, "She's fine."
Cordelia nodded. "Usher the guests out of here first. Send them to the hospital if needed and do
whatever you can to comfort them. Also, prepare some gifts and personally apologize to our guests
after this. Remember, do not blame somebody else. I saw some of the kids got hurt too. Their parents
will probably say something very hurtful, but you've got to keep quiet no matter what they say, okay?"
"Okay,” Keegan said.
Cordelia frowned. Dahlia only cared about her own family and was obsessed with materialistic stuff. On
the contrary, Cyrene was too calculative and was not sincere enough. She did not like either of her
daughters-in-law.
Keegan was the only one who could marry a wife that she was fond of.
Cordelia started to like Stella after seeing her just two times because of how adaptable she was. She
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcould be very cruel if necessary, yet she could demean herself if needed too.
Cordelia could not help but be angry at Keegan after thinking of her precious granddaughter-in-law.
"Why did you divorce Stella? She would have handled this so much better than you! The only thing that
you're good at doing with that mouth of yours is eating."
Keegan kept quiet.
Cordelia waved her hand and told him to go away before he could say anything. "Go on, do what
you've got to do."
Vermont listened to their conversation from the side, and he tried so hard to hold his laughter in.
He said after Keegan came to him, "Does no one in your family like you after you divorced Stella?"
Keegan glowered at him. "Shut up!"
Then, he looked in the direction where Stella stood and paused. "Where is she?"
Vermont looked over and found that not only Stella was gone, but Felicity also disappeared.
Some sparks went on Darcie's dress, and she was startled. So, Wenham wanted to bring his family out
of there.
Trevor gazed at Marshall, who was closely standing next to Stella. He frowned, turned around, and
said to Wenham. "Dad, you guys go first. I'll help Keegan clean up this mess."
Wenham nodded. "Sure. Be sure to check up on Miss Jewell too. I'm worried about her."
