Chapter 39
“You met Yoel yesterday, didn’t you? What do you think?” Sharon probed.
“Mr. Perkins is quite nice.”
“Have you considered dating him?” Sharon asked.
Stella hummed as she thought it over. “I don’t see why hot.”
She genuinely thought that Yoel was a nice man. Still, Yoel probably wasn’t aware of her true situation. So, she planned on telling him that her husband’s Brian on their next date.
She didn’t like lying.
“He’s a rare gem. You have to grab this chance if he likes you.”
Truthfully, Sharon was of the thought that Stella was one lucky girl.
Initially, Sharon only wanted to introduce her to some senior executives. Alas, the executives didn’t find her to his liking.
Instead, Yoel became interested in Stella and took the initiative to get Stella’s number from her.
Still, she didn’t see anything wrong with it. The better the man, the sooner would Stella leave her son.
alone.
Stella obediently fell silent as she listened to Sharon’s advice. Then, she murmured, “Yes, I know what to
do.”
She was willing to do anything at all just to set her father free.
Once the call was over, she packed up her things and decided to leave for work.
Sadly, it was all for naught when Yvonned rushed to her and said anxiously, “Mrs. Foley, Mr. Foley can’t
find one of his shirts. He’s asking you for help.”
“What shirt is this?”
the
Mr. Foley said that there are two parallel lines on the sleeves.”
Stella’s mind immediately recalled that it was one of the gifts she gave him on their anniversary.
“The shirt is probably in the first drawer,” Stella said to Yvonne after giving it some thought.
“But I can’t find it anywhere!” Yvonne was nearly in tears as she begged, “Mrs. Foley, can you please help me find it? Otherwise, the entire Yolvencrest Estate would be suffering his ire!”
Stella couldn’t bear seeing Yvonne getting reprimanded over something so trivial, especially when Yvonne had been nothing but kind to her.
So, she soldiered on to the master bedroom.
Brian was sitting on the bed gloomily. There were faint bruises under his eyes. It seemed that he didn’t
sleep well last night.
Stella didn’t bother wasting her breath on him. Instead, she headed straight for the dressing room.
As the light blinked on, she was greeted by the sight of rows upon rows of clothes. The ones on the left were his while the ones on the right were hers.
In the past, Stella enjoyed dressing Brian up early in the morning.
She found contentment in doing so.
However, that had clearly changed. The only thing she felt was a rising tide of annoyance upon the numerous clothes staring back at her.
There were over a thousand clothes hanging in this ridiculously big dressing room. So, this endeavor was akin to finding a needle in the haystack. Suffice it to say, she hated it with a passion.
She trudged over with unwilling steps when a purse caught her eye.
Wasn’t that Adiere’s limited collection purse?
Stella stared at it, utterly dumbstruck. She had stumbled upon this purse when she was scrolling through. silly videos.
The internet celebrity had even boasted that it was worth several million!
“Where did you come from?”
She didn’t recall owning this purse. Nonetheless, she couldn’t help but hold on to it, carefully checking it for any blemishes.
It was very well–designed.
Stella couldn’t find it in herself to put it back. So, she didn’t notice Brian entering the dressing room.

When Brian saw the overjoyed expression on her face, the lines on his face softened. “Do you like it?”
