Chapter 607

Finally, Xander and Yvonne stormed out, clearly fuming.

Stella glanced at Ronald with concern. "Why on earth did you let Sis marry Xander?"

The butler had already sent people to haul in all the stuff they'd just brought back. There was a mountain of it—some belonging to Stella, some to Yvonne.

Every time they visited the old family estate, they'd return with armfuls of goodies. Lydia, the housekeeper, was especially fond of the two sisters and always saved the best treats for them-homemade pies, imported chocolates, even rare cheeses.

Ronald wrapped an arm around Stella's shoulders, pulling her close. “Well, obviously, to get rid of any potential rivals."

Stella blinked. "Huh?"

Rivals? Xander?

She'd never even thought of Xander like that. Did that even count as a rival?

"No way. You mean you'd sacrifice your own sister just to get rid of someone who isn't even a rival? Nope, not happening. I'm calling her right now to tell her to ditch the whole wedding."

What a joke-like Yvonne's entire future was something to trade just for Ronald's so-called "strategy."

She dug out her phone, ready to call Yvonne, but Ronald smoothly snatched it out of her hand. "Relax, I was just messing with you."

Stella gave him a look. "..."

"Honestly, both Xander and Yvonne are dealing with some mess of their own. This wedding might actually help sort things out for them. It's just... a weird bit of fate."

Stella's eyes widened. She already knew Xander was in some trouble-her mom had mentioned it.
