“Dad, you have a company yourself. Have you ever seen an intern who just joined a company drive a luxurious car that costs millions? The last time Keegan met with a client for a multi-billion project, he only drove his 90-thousand-dollar Mercedes-Benz. Why does she need a car that’s over a million?”

Albert was irritated. “Things are different in every company. What do you know? You’re being pampered and fed by the Kane family.”

“Being fed by the Kane family?” Stella frowned slightly. “This wasn’t what you said when you told me to give up on my job. Besides, the Kane family doesn’t just feed me.”

SMACK!

Albert slammed the table and angrily said, “Was there a need to dig up the past? We’re just borrowing a car.”

Sophia quickly placated him. “Dad, don’t be angry. You have high blood pressure. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have brought this up. If Stella doesn’t want to lend it to me, then so be it. Don’t be mad at her.”

The more Sophia persuaded Albert, the more he found Stella a nuisance. “Look at Sophia. She’s younger than you, yet she’s more sensible!”

The meal ended in an unhappy atmosphere. Before Stella left, Sophia placed two boxes of white truffles in her car. She said to Stella from the car window, “Stella, the reason Keegan didn’t come had nothing to do with work, right?”

Stella glanced at her. “What are you trying to say?”

Sophia smiled, “A car will never have only one owner. The same goes for men.”

Then, she winded up the windows for Stella before turning around and leaving.

At the apartment, Felicity weighed the two gift boxes in her hands.

She turned to Stella and said, “There must be five or six pounds here. Your dad really spends a lot of effort in pleasing the Kane family. Didn’t you tell him your mother-in-law doesn’t even look at the gifts he sends them?”
