Chapter 1169
“I don’t mind as long as Stella doesn’t mind. After all, it’s just a name,” Sophia smiled and said.
Hearing that, the crowd began to discuss Stella being an illegitimate daughter.
“I can’t believe Stella is the illegitimate daughter, and Sophia is the actual daughter of the Jewell family. You don’t even get to see this kind of a plot twist on TV.”
“How does she have the nerve to show up on such a joyous occasion?”
“Look at her. I bet she’s either here to win sympathy or to ask for money. I heard that Mr. Jewell has been secretly helping her out despite her not being his actual daughter.”
“Mr. Jewell is a good man. I would’ve found someone else too if I knew that my wife cheated on me and had a baby.”
Stella’s eyelids twitched when she heard that. ‘No wonder Albert transferred fifty thousand dollars to me for no reason before this. It’s all for show. He just wanted to establish the image of a good father,* she thought.
Stella’s expression remained the same no matter what the people said about her.
Annoyed that Stella was not giving them the reaction they wanted, Sophia and Xianna glanced at each other. Then, the latter immediately said, “Stella, you look miserable after the
divorce. Did you buy that dress at the thrift store? It looks so poorly made. Don’t you have anything decent for the wedding? Sophia can lend you one of her dresses if you
want. If I remember correctly, Sophia always got your hand- me-downs when you were younger, right? I hope you don’t mind wearing Sophia’s clothes this time around.”
famous designer, Wendy Carlson. It was also worn by a certain celebrity on Paris Fashion Week. Do you know how much a dress like this would cost?” Xianna jumped in and said.
“Oh, my God. No wonder that dress looked familiar. It’s the one Nicole Aspen wore at the fashion week. It looked great in the videos, and it looks even more stunning in person.”
“Wendy Carlson is the most popular designer in Hustuabourg right now. Her pre-made designs are really hard to get, let alone a custom-made dress!”
“How dare she say that Wendy Carlson’s design looks cheap? Did she look in a mirror?”
“She’s clearly blind and in denial. She probably hasn’t accepted her sudden change of status from Mrs. Kane to the illegitimate daughter of the Jewell family.”
‘That dress doesn’t even appeal to straight men like Keegan, let alone me. The marketing is quite on point though,’ Stella thought to herself. “Oh. So, someone else has worn it? I thought it was a customized order,” she said.
