Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

This question was indeed quite bold, especially after Wren had " betrayed" her.

Stella understood why Wren didn’t pursue the issue when she stood up for her.

For a girl with no background and a seriously ill family member, this job was crucial.

If she didn't accept the olive branch offered by Darcie Arnold, she would be seen as ungrateful, and her future in the company would become increasingly difficult.

Stella knew Wren had her reasons, but she couldn't help feeling hurt.

She wanted to say, "What does that have to do with you?" but seeing the cautious look in Wren's eyes, she couldn't help but remember the time she found Wren crying in the bathroom because she couldn't afford her grandmother's medical bills.

Having experienced such helpless moments herself, Stella couldn't bring herself to say anything too harsh.

However, she wasn’t ready to forgive Wren easily either, so she responded with a cold "Hmm." Wren's eyes dimmed.

She seemed to want to say something else, but the elevator doors opened and Julia Harper walked in with several colleagues, silencing Wren.

Julia greeted Stella, then turned to Wren with a teasing tone, " Wren, I heard from your manager that your salary was reissued, and Ms.
