Chapter 281
Stella was speechless.
Everyone there went quiet too.
Those things were worth at least a few million, yet Keegan made it sound like they were not enough.
And, he purposely mentioned that Stella was the one who bought them just to tell Sophia that Stella did not ask him for
money.
Sophia was certain that Keegan had heard what she and her relatives said just now, so he only said those things to target her.
It did not matter if Stella really bought those gifts or not, but the fact that Keegan was willing to accompany her to be there said a
lot about their relationship.
All the relatives that were looking down on Stella did not dare to say anything anymore.
Lydia felt very good after looking at how Sophia was embarrassed. Then, she added fuel to the fire.
“Albert, you’re such a fortunate man. Just look at how many things Stella and her husband brought here today. I guess Keegan is
like your son now.”
Albert felt very proud that Keegan made his way there. His face glowed as he humbly said, “I appreciate the gifts, but all I want is
for them to be happy together.”
Lydia’s eyes sparkled as she suddenly turned to Sophia. “Sophia, how much do you make in Vinci Rivera?”
Sophia was still mad as she glowered at Lydia after hearing her question. “Aunt Lydia, I signed a non-disclosure agreement, so
that’s something I can’t tell you.”
Lydia was not bothered. “We’re your family, not outsiders. Do you think we’re going to tell everybody else about it?”
Sophia trembled with rage.
She knew that Lydia only asked her to make her look bad. Stella had just bought so many expensive things back home, and she
would never be able to afford them even though she earned a lot more than she did.
“It’s better for a girl to find herself the right husband. I’m afraid that someone won’t be able to spend her partner’s money even if
she wants to,” said Lydia.
Even though Stella did not like Lydia or agree with what she said, she was amused by the fact that Sophia could not find a word
to refute Lydia.
She just could not figure out what Keegan did to make him act like a decent human.
Albert immediately tried to make things less awkward for Sophia. “Sophia, why don’t you check on your great-grandpa and see if
he’s done changing? Tell him that Stella has come to pick him up too.”
“Sure,” Sophia responded with a long face before going upstairs.
Lydia felt really good. Then, she said to everyone else, “I have good news today. My son, Dustin, passed the interview at Calton
University.”
Everybody there smiled without saying anything.
They did not ignore her because of how badly she wanted to show off her son. Otherwise, they would have plenty of other
reasons to dislike her.
Rainee bragged about her daughter because Stella was undoubtedly the best among them.
However, not only did Lydia flaunt her son’s achievement, but she also put others’ children. down.
Her relatives would not be bothered by just that, but she did something even more bizarre.
