Chapter 522 Just Helping Out?

Stella said, “Weren’t you the one who told me to make more friends when I’m away from home? That way I’d have people to count on if I ever needed help.”

Marie replied, “I meant at school.”

“It’s the same thing.”

Stella brushed it off, then quickly called to check on Diana’s situation.

As expected, things weren’t going smoothly. Since it was tied to Ashen Pact, there was no way it would be resolved easily.

While she was still on the phone, the wedding dresses were delivered–racks and racks of them, all different styles.

Marie looked at the massive display and twitched at the corner of her mouth. “What, the dress I made wasn’t good enough?”

Stella replied, “Mom said a girl only gets married once, so I should pick my favorite. She told me to try a bunch.”

“That used to make sense to me. A girl only marries once, huh? Now? Ha–hard to say.”

Wait, what was that supposed to mean?

“What’s hard to say?”

Evelyn and Derrick were coming down the stairs and caught the tail end of Marie’s sentence. Evelyn’s face turned black instantly.

Stella turned and greeted obediently, “Hi, Mom.”

Marie pointed with her lips. “I’m just saying the truth. A while ago, Derrick’s cousin or whatever, Azure, got divorced too.”
