Chapter 135
“No, I’m not. However, I have something to ask you.”
‘What is this about?’ Stella thought to herself.
“Stella, are you close with Mr. Snyder?”
“No,” Stella said instantly without hesitating.
She was not lying when she said that. But, more specifically, she was not close with anyone in Keegan’s
social circle.
That was because Keegan rarely brought her to meet his friends. Perhaps he only did that because he
knew their marriage would not last, so he did not want to spend too much effort to let her blend in.
‘Why would he suddenly be interested in Vermont?’
Stella knew the answer to that very soon after.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlbert said, “Sophia told me she met you when she was shopping in a jewelry store with her friend
yesterday.”
Stella squinted and said flatly, “Yeah, she did. What about it?”
“You know her friend spent thirty million on a bangle, too, right?”
“Yeah.” Stella said before she said sarcastically, “Ms. Anne has excellent taste. I heard that the bangle
was the best one that the shop had. ”
Albert kept quiet for a while before he said, “Ms. Anne doesn’t want that bangle anymore, but she’s
unable to return it. I heard that the shop belongs to Mr. Snyder, and he’s a friend of Keegan, right? Could
you do me a favor and ask him if he can let Ms. Anne return it?”
‘She spent thirty million just to show off for a few seconds. I guess she’s regretting it now that she can
finally think clearly.’ Stella thought to herself.
Stella did not expect that Xianna would ask for Albert’s help.
There was just no reason for her to help them since she plotted it to happen.
“Dad, you’re a businessman too. It’s common knowledge that one can only return the goods if it’s
defective. All businesses would close down if every customer like Ms. Anne could return something just
because they changed their minds.”
“You’re right, but I’m sure you can work something out. Would you let Keegan know what happened so
he can talk to Mr. Snyder about it? I’m sure that it wouldn’t be very troublesome for him to do so.”
Stella did not want to help, so she lied, “Okay then. I’ll talk to Keegan about it. However, I can’t guarantee
if Vermont would do him this favor or not.”
Albert was relieved. “Mr. Snyder is such a good friend to Keegan. I’m sure that he will.”
The call became awkward after the conversation ended, so Albert tried to keep it going,” How’s your
mother recently?”
“She’s fine.” Stella paused before continuing, “However, the doctor told us to talk to her about the past
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmore often to stimulate her. You should go over and chat with her when you’re free because you’re the
person that my mother cared about the most.”
Albert said perfunctorily, “I can’t find time at all these days. I’ll pay your mother a few days later when I’m
on leave.”
It was not Stella’s first time listening to Albert’s nonsense. His last visit to the hospital was a year ago,
and he only went there to pose because one of Stella’s grandfather’s friends wanted to see Rainee.
Albert was a heartless and cruel man However, Stella’s grandfather was a very good judge of character.
There was no way he would allow his daughter to marry someone like him.
Something popped into Stella’s head after she hung up before she dialed Vermont’s number.
Vermont was bored out of his mind in a regular meeting when he saw an incoming call. He was shocked
at first but became very energetic right after. Then, he grabbed his phone as he stood up. He said with a
straight face, “Carry on. My client’s calling me.”
