However, Stella’s real identity was not publicly announced yet. Jaylene’s father and brother repeatedly reminded her to keep it a secret, so she could not reveal the relationship between Stella and Trevor.

That was why she had no choice but to endure Molly’s resentment toward her without telling her the truth.

Jaylene looked at Stella and realized how nonchalant she looked, as if she did not just deliberately put her in such a difficult position. So, Jaylene could only swallow the bitter pill.

She suppressed her unpleasant feelings and said lowly,” Stella is my guest, and I’m glad she could make time and attend my party today. I apologize to everyone here if her presence made any of you unhappy. It’s my birthday today, and I hope all of you can accept my apology.”

So, the ladies stopped talking.

Stella gazed at Jaylene.

Jaylene was very smart with her words. She did not explicitly say that she was apologizing on Stella’s behalf, yet she mentioned her name and subtly shifted the blame onto her.

However, Jaylene had already openly apologized. Stella figured that she would make herself look petty if she were to argue any further. So, she pursed her lips and stopped speaking too.

As for Molly, her expression still looked very gloomy as she stared at Stella’s face.

At eight o’clock, Jaylene went up the stage and gave a speech in her elegant attire.

Stella watched it from afar while holding a glass of wine in her hand.

Keegan was still chatting with the other guys and could not excuse himself at the moment. Felicity was worried that someone would mistreat Stella, so she ditched Vermont and went to find her best friend.

“Stella, did the hypocrite bully you?”

Stella smiled. “Am I that weak to you? Do you think just anyone can bully me?”

“I’m just worried, okay? I wanted to come over when you were surrounded by that group of people just now, but Stinky Cucumber just wouldn’t let me. I was really worried.”

Stella paused for a moment and then smiled.

She was still debating whether to trust Vermont or not, fearing that he might just be playing with Felicity’s heart. She was unconvinced when Keegan told her that she was just overthinking, but she finally realized that she was wrong about Vermont.

With how straightforward Felicity was, she figured that Felicity would definitely draw attention and criticism toward herself under a circumstance like that. So, Vermont not allowing her to come over was simply a way of protecting her.

“What’s so funny?”

“Nothing,” Stella said softly, “You’re right about something.”

“What is it?”

“Jaylene doesn’t like me.”

Felicity immediately got excited. “Right! I told you! She enjoyed everything that should’ve been yours for twenty years. However, you came back out of nowhere and could possibly take everything away from her. How could she not hate you?”

Stella pursed her lips and said, “But I saved her life before. Is she just going to ignore that?”

“Well, Ms. Spade supported Homewrecker Hylda back then too. Look at what she did in return. Don’t underestimate a person’s greed. People can do awful things when blinded by it.”

As they were chatting, a few waiters came in with a giant cake on a cart. The cake was a replica of the Disney Castle with tons of details on it.

The guests could not help but be impressed when they saw the cake.

After all, girls could never resist something like that. So they went forward to take photos with it one after another.

Felicity was shocked too. “This cake has got to cost a fortune, huh?”
