Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Chapter 1450 The Start of a Showdown

Stella laughed recklessly but soon understood that her attitude was inappropriate. She quickly restrained herself and nodded. She said, "That's right, you're returning home."

I noticed a deepening mockery on Celine's face. I met her gaze unabashedly and asked, "Oh... by the way, shouldn't you reintroduce this Miss Stella to me, Celine?"

I passed the ball to Celine, who was standing beside Atlas.

When I saw Celine stifle a laugh, I said, "You've always treated her as your adopted daughter, and she even introduced herself as Stella, Rory's daughter. I've been meaning to ask you, Celine, if she's Stella, then... who am I? I didn't know my father had two daughters." As soon as I said that, everyone turned to look at Celine.

Atlas's hand had been around my waist all this time. When he saw me questioning Celine, he looked at her with apparent interest as he waited for her response.

My question may have been too sudden. I had slapped Celine in the face with that question, and no one in the room had anticipated me saying that so directly.

The people here were "old friends" of the Pierce family. Most of them probably knew who I was. They were all just pretending to be ignorant.

These "old friends" probably followed Celine's lead not to acknowledge my existence. They treated me as nothing more than a woman Atlas doted on.

Celine had completely ignored my presence throughout the event and had only briefly mentioned me. She hadn't even said that I was the mistress of the Pierce family.
