Chapter 447

“If you were really friends with Rayna, you wouldn’t have vilified her in front of her mother and made it sound as though she’s a malicious, two-timing person. She broke up with Curtis before she left the country. Whether or not she has a new boyfriend, that’s something she’s free to do and is no one else’s business,” Xandra said with a sneer.

Stella bit her lip. “That’s just what I heard from others. I deeply respect Ms. Garland.”

Despite her reply, Xandra did not buy it. “If that were true, you wouldn’t have believed what others said. I’m over twenty years older than you, and I can tell what you’re thinking. I turned a blind eye because it’s not easy to be working at your age. If I choose to be petty, you can forget about attaining wealth or status anywhere else you go, let alone at Faymon Group.”

She spoke calmly but firmly. Stella was so intimidated that she could only bow her head without daring to utter a single word.

After a long pause, Xandra finally glanced at the younger woman. “All right, you should leave after finishing your drink. We’re about to close soon anyway.”

Stella turned to Linda and gave a slight bow. “I’ll be leaving, then.”

Linda’s expression remained cold as she ignored Stella.

I didn’t notice it before until Xandra pointed it out. I’ve only now realized how devious Stella is. She claims to be Belle’s friend yet speaks ill of her!

After Stella left, Linda took Xandra’s hand and said, “Thank you for standing up for Belle. I don’t mix with others much, so I had no idea how awful the youngsters are nowadays.”

“Don’t mention it. Belle is an amazing child. It can’t be helped if she and Curtis don’t get along. I hope you won’t cease to be my friend just because we don’t get to be in-laws,” Xandra replied with a smile.

Her response immediately put Linda at ease. “What are you talking about? I’m the one who worried you’d think I wasn’t worthy of being your friend.”

“Not at all. I couldn’t be happier to be friends with you.”

“In that case, why don’t you come to my house later and have a meal? When the sweet soup is ready, you can take some back for Mr. Faymon.”

Xandra nodded while beaming. “Okay. By the way, you don’t have to keep addressing him as Mr. Faymon. Just call him by his name.”

Meanwhile, Stella’s cheeks were still burning even after she left Obelisk Mall.
