Matthias glanced at Celeste and, sensing that Cole seemed to look down on Wynn, asked, “Mr. Turner, do you have a grudge against the Locket family?”

Cole shook his head. “I wouldn’t call it a grudge, but… Stella Smith–the lady who had an argument with Ms. Locket last night–is the daughter of an old friend of mine,

“I’ve known her since she was little. She can be a bit impulsive, but she’s not unreasonable.

“Her fiancé, that kid from the Lowe family, John, got quite close to another girl two years ago–so much so that he was on the verge of breaking off his engagement with Stella.

“But then, somehow, that girl ended up getting acquainted with Trevor, and suddenly, she and John weren’t in contact anymore…”

But what really frustrated Cole wasn’t the past–it was last night’s incident at the charity gala.
