Emmett smiled and get another glass of wine for her, “Those people only focus on the interests and value from the marriage for convenience. Hence it’s not important whether she has engaged to Clarence Conrad before. Besides...”

It was because Clarence had canceled the engagement with Phoebe, Charles and Dempsey could cooperate.

Stella pressed her lips and didn’t speak.

No wonder Phoebe was so hostile to her recently when they met. It turned out to be because of that.

Phoebe had been planning to marry Clarence, but in the end, she had to engage with Justin. Last time, she also saw Clarence and Stella having dinner together. That was why she wanted to vent her anger on Stella.

Stella paused a bit and asked, frowning, “What about Daniel and her?”

Emmett raised his head and gulped down the champagne and turned to look in a short distance, “Please don’t worry for him. He has ways to resolve it.”

Stella followed his gaze, only to find Daniel also had come. He was talking to Cameron now.

Emmett was close to Cameron and Daniel was his friend. It was not surprising that Daniel and Cameron were also close.

However, Stella didn’t understand, wondering what kind of ways Daniel had to resolve the problem.

The engagement between Phoebe and Justin was a combination of interests from the Conrad and Steward families. She wondered if Phoebe’s father would change his mind just because of Daniel’s reasons.

The only reason to cancel the engagement would be one party had a better choice.

Right then, a waiter walked to Emmett and whispered to him. Emmett frowned slightly. Then he said to Stella, “Stella, please wait for me here for a moment. I’ll be right back.”

Stella slightly nodded in agreement, “Okay.”

Before leaving, Emmett looked around. After ensuring that Clarence wasn’t around, he strode away with the waiter.

Stella held the champagne flute and took a sip. When she was about to look over at Daniel and Mr. Thomas again, she found they had disappeared in her sight.

Suddenly, she heard a man’s indifferent voice behind her, “Are you looking for me?”

Stella kept quiet.
