Lucas was sweating bullets, fearing Stella would call him out on his "state of unwedded loneliness" in front of everyone. Jumping in, he seized control of the conversation. "Alwyn, keep your nose out of it. What's going on between me and Stella, we both know where we stand. It's none of your business."Alwyn quipped, "I'm not trying to meddle, just curious about how your wife-chasing mission is going."Lucas glanced at Stella, wanting to say something but, worried about ticking her off, ended up saying nothing.Ron was always the troublemaker. "Marriage, huh? Once you're free, you're free. No one in their right mind would escape from the prison of matrimony only to rush right back in, right?"Ron deliberately looked at Stella as he said this. "Ms. Dawson, am I right or am I right?"Stella replied coolly, "Hmm, Mr. Hagrid, you've hit the nail on the head."Lucas snapped at Ron, "Sometimes silence is golden. Not every silence needs filling."Ron shot back, "Well, Lucas, in this co

When Abigail thought about how men could be jerks, she immediately recalled a recent scandal that had exploded on the internet, providing plenty of gossip fodder over the holiday season. "You've heard about the BBDD couple scandal, right?"BBDD, a couple in the entertainment industry known for their loving image and for profiting from it, were recently exposed for infidelity. And not just once; it seemed that in every city they visited, there was a new affair.The kicker? Even though the husband was caught red-handed, the wife, in a desperate move to save face and cash, posted a statement online:[My husband just made a mistake that any man could make. He realizes his wrongdoings, has turned over a new leaf, and returned to our family. As the saying goes, 'Every marriage has its ups and downs, but it's working through them that makes it stronger'. Please give us some time, and we'll return to you as a stronger couple than ever.]It sounded as if she was blaming the public for tryin

Rolling in cash, Stella spent like there was no tomorrow, never wincing at the price tags.Abigail was momentarily lost in thought, and by the time she snapped back, the counter was stacked with several designer bags.Stella examined each one, nonchalantly tossing them back onto the counter. "Wrap this one, and this, and definitely this one."In just a few minutes, over one million dollars vanished.Every cent of Abigail's wealth was hard-earned, painstakingly accumulated through her artwork.Even though she was now the wife of the CEO of Hart Corporation, with Nathan transferring a hefty fortune under her name, she could not shake off the habits ingrained since childhood. She was frugal to the core, ensuring every penny was spent wisely.Stella and Abigail were polar opposites.After Stella made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, money came fast. The first couple of years were golden; she could make billions from a single film. In just a few years, she amassed a

Stella snapped her phone shut and immediately locked eyes with Abigail's worried gaze. She flashed a grin at Abigail and said, "I'm fine, no need to worry."Abigail said, "Should we head back to that store and ask around?"They both had noticed it - the background of the photo was unmistakably the boutique where they had just bought bags.During their shopping spree, they had been the only customers, which led Stella and Abigail to deduce that the culprit who had snapped the photo and posted it online must have been one of the store's employees.A surreptitious snapshot uploaded to the web could be a minor issue or a major scandal, depending on how far Stella decided to push it.Stella, with a determined look, said, "That's exactly my plan. I need to find out who's behind this hideous picture, and who dared to call me as fat as a pig. I can tolerate being secretly photographed, but being insulted like that is a whole different story.""I'm with you on this."Together, they made

The shop assistant did break the company rules, but Stella, considering the challenges of working as a staff member, decided to let it go. She said to the store manager, "I'm letting this matter go. Can you just let her stay?""If you decide to let it go, we can spare her from any punishment," the store manager replied. Their company made it clear that if customers did not want to make a fuss, they would not punish their staff.Stella responded, "All right." After resolving the matter, Stella left with Abigail.Since Stella's location was already exposed, she believed if she did not leave soon, it would be difficult for her to leave when her fans nearby came.What Stella did not know was that after she left, the shop assistant took out her phone and logged into another Facebook account.In that Facebook account, there were several groups with names insulting Stella such as "Ugly Stella Dawson" and "Make That Ugly Stella Leave the Entertainment Industry".The shop assistant then r
