Chapter 216
As Arabella looked at Stephany's proud face, the ghost of a faint smile played round her red lips, "Will you believe me if I say I'm not angry?"
How was that possible?
Stephany was convinced that Arabella must be angry, and jealous even. As Kenneth gave her such a big surprise that the night sky was aglow with sky lanterns, she had the greatest favor from him in the whole Hardgrad, which was something that Arabella didn't have when she just had an in with him. As she thought about it, she felt that Kenneth liked her a little more.
"Well, Bella, if you are angry, just scold me. Please don't hold it back. It's not good for your health." Stephany covered her mouth and snickered.
At that moment, Caitlin Hardy came as well. She dressed in fashionable and expensive furs and wore exquisite makeup, looking marvelous. As Seth Snyder had stayed in her room for the past two days, she lived in great comfort.
A statusful son made his mother respected everywhere. As Caitlin had rubbed off all her past shame, she had her head high and looked at Arabella contemptuously, "Oh, Bella, here you are? I'm sure you must have seen the surprise that Mr. Lucero gives to my daughter Stephany. Well, everyone has his own path of life and there is nothing we can do to change it. You know, not every girl can became Cinderella. Just go in there to make up and get changed. Well, Stephany, Mr. Lucero must be coming. Let's go and greet him."
Caitlin held Stephany's little hand and took her away.
As Stephany was leaving, she cast a smug glance at Arabella. The other noble ladies around her pointed at Arabella as well.
"Well, Stephany, let's not waste time on Arabella."
"She must be rather jealous. Well, she used to wear something Mr. Lucero gave her to show off. How will she expect that she will be abandoned one day?"
"She deserves it. She'd better go back and serve the old man with bad back in Floweret Garden."
The crowd walked away gradually.
Arabella was standing where she was. At the moment, she heard the ding sound and found that it was Aurora's message in Line, "Isn't Stephany's complacent expression rather funny? Well, Mr. Lucero used the sky lanterns to lighten the Hardgrad for you. But now, everyone in the city believes that he has done it for Stephany."
Arabella gave Aurora a reply, "Don't worry, Aurora. The really interesting part of the show just begins."
The birthday party of Arabella and Stephany started officially. They held the party respectively in the same hall, but it was just that Stephany was on the left side and Arabella right side. The party was Caitlin's good idea. She wanted to organize it together so that it would compare and despair.
Now all the nobles of the upper class in Hardgrad gathered together at Stephany's side, laughing and joking, while there were few people at Arabella's party. The stark contrast made the latter rather desolate. Caitlin stood beside Seth and claimed her credit, "Well, Seth, are you satisfied with my arrangement? As I have dedicated myself to the Snyder family, can you forgive me for all those stupid things I have done in the past?"
Seth thought that he was riding on the crest of success. As all the bosses here were flattering him, he felt that he was fully resourced in the Snyder Medical Group which would be growing stronger, and that the Snyder Family was going to reach its peak in his hands.
Relying on the Lucero Group, the business empire, he felt his life was just all plain sailing, which was something he dared not desire before.
Seth put his arm around Caitlin's shoulder, "Well, you do a good job this time and your greatest credit is that you give birth to Stephany. All of the old scores are written off. Let's live a good life in the future. Come, I'd like to introduce some bosses in the business to you."
Seth wanted to introduce her to those bosses. She was stunned, realizing that the time of her comeback had come.
