Chapter 647

For Stella, the Quinns and the Lugars were her bottom line. Mess with her family, and you were in for a world of trouble-no way she'd ever just let it slide.

"If you can tie a rope, you can tie your tongue, too. If you've got the guts to talk trash, at least have the nerve to stand by it."

A mocking voice rang out from the crowd.

Both women whipped around, glaring daggers at whoever spoke, looking as if they'd eat her alive.

Stella and Yvonne turned as well, and Stella's eyes went wide in surprise.

Lola stood there, her arm looped through a man's, and met the two women's furious gazes head-on. "What's wrong? Still want to act tough? Seems like your apology isn't all that sincere after all."

Just a hint of "not sincere," and the color drained from the women's faces.

No one dared play games in front of the Quinn family.

Lola glanced at Stella, and when their eyes met, she gave her a warm, reassuring smile.

Stella couldn't help but smile back, just a little.

Yvonne scoffed. "Well, it looks like that madam was right. You two aren't really sorry at all. In that case..."

"Please, Lady Yvonne, we really are sorry!"

"Yes, please, you're far above us. Don't take this out on our families—please!"
