Chapter 101

Just as Stella was about to reach out and accept the glass, Keegan quietly said beside her, “I thought you couldn’t drink right now?”

Stella was at a loss for words.

‘I can’t tell him I said that because I didn’t want Bella’s drink, right? It’ll look like I care about him,‘ she thought.

“Who said I’m drinking?” she moved her hand away and grabbed the juice she was drinking just now.

Then, she smiled at Marshall with her eyes. “You don’t mind me drinking juice instead of wine?”

Marshall’s gaze softened. “Go ahead.”

Vermont saw Keegan’s darkened expression. He quickly grabbed a glass of wine and stuffed it into his hands. Then, he moved closer and said with a smile, “It’s only fun to drink wine when everyone’s drinking together. Here’s to you, Stella.”

Stella glanced bewilderedly at Vermont.

‘It can be said that Vermont and I usually can’t stand the sight of each other. Keegan’s friends all look down on my background and have always complained about how I managed to marry Keegan. When Keegan’s around, Vermont will pretend to say hello for his sake. But, when I’m alone, and he sees me on the street–forget about saying hello–he completely pretends like he didn’t see me. As for me, I don’t like Keegan’s rich, elitist friends, especially Vermont Snyder. A large part of why I dislike Vermont is because of Bella. It’s all thanks to this pimp that Keegan and Bella’s relationship is well–hidden, and she can stay out of scandals. Everyone usually finds me an eyesore, yet they’re now calling me by my first name. Can they not make my skin crawl?‘ she thought.
