Chapter 1158

[ 686 words ]

None of them wanted to admit that Stella had severed all ties with them completely.

But they had no choice but to face the harsh reality, in her world, they were absolute nobodies.

Lola had attended the wedding today.

Jaxon had prepared a wedding gift and asked Lola to deliver it on his behalf.

He simply didn’t have the courage to show his face at her ceremony.

He knew all too well that Stella wouldn’t want to see him there anyway.

“You all completely brought this upon yourselves,” Lola said bluntly.

“I know,” Jaxon replied softly.

They deserved every bit of it.

After nearly a year had passed, Jaxon no longer reacted with hysterical anger whenever Stella’s name was mentioned.

His tone now held only a bottomless well of guilt.

He had been a pathetic excuse for a brother. He was the one who shared her blood.

Yet, he hadn’t treated her half as well as the Quinn family had.

Lola turned to leave.

Jaxon quickly called out to her. “Is the baby doing okay?”

Lola froze.

The baby.

At the mention of her child, a frosty glint swept through Lola’s eyes.

She hadn’t even wanted to speak to Jaxon today, but blood ties were a strange, complicated thing.

Jaxon had detested Stella for so long.

But when her little boy saw the news of the wedding on TV, he had endlessly begged to go see his aunt.

He absolutely adored Stella.

“You don’t have the right to ask about the baby,” Lola snapped.

Her temper might have remained in check if he hadn’t brought it up, but the moment he did, her voice turned to ice.

Cloudia’s cruelty as a grandmother and Jaxon’s spineless behavior had thoroughly shattered her faith in them.

Silence lingered between them.

Jaxon was in the city.

Blaise Larkin had also come. Both men had arrived quietly, neither daring to step foot near the actual wedding venue.

They stayed in Ferrowland just to witness the sheer magnitude and influence of the event from a distance.

Through all the extravagant details, they could clearly see Ronald’s profound love and the immense respect the Quinn family held for her.

It was this staggering display of wealth and devotion that made Blaise realize just how laughable his past threats back in Portis City had truly been.

The thousands of dollars in allowance he had tried to withhold from her meant absolutely nothing to Stella.

Yet, they had actually thought it was enough to control her. Looking back, it was the height of absurdity.

He glanced over at Yorick Quarry, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring blankly at the fading fireworks.

“It seems the Quinn family treats her very well,” Yorick murmured.

In that moment, his silhouette looked incredibly desolate and lonely.

Some mistakes couldn’t be fixed just by realizing you were wrong and offering an apology. Second chances weren’t guaranteed.

The sins they had committed against Stella were completely unforgivable.

Blaise watched the dreamlike display and sighed heavily. “Thank you for this.”

“You should have asked Jaxon to come with you. He’s here too,” Yorick replied.

Jaxon.

At the mention of his son, Blaise’s expression darkened further. Lately, he had been increasingly frustrated

with his mistress and ille

child.

Over the past six months, Jaxon had suddenly started working incredibly hard.

He used to show zero interest in the family business, but now he was familiarizing himself with every single operation mastering them one by one.

Seeing Blaise’s silence, Yorick’s expression turned grim.

“You can’t have your cake and eat it too. If someone decides to smash your plate, you’ll only have yourself to blame.”

Perhaps because Yorick had personally suffered the consequences of illegitimate affairs, he unexpectedly spoke up in defense of Jaxon.

Regardless of whether Cloudia was a good person or not.

Blaise keeping a mistress and a secret family on the side was a complete moral failure.

Yorick turned on his heel and walked out of the room.

Leaving the hotel, he stood alone beneath the dark sky. The firework show had officially ended.

Yet the overwhelming atmosphere of Stella and Ronald’s wedding still lingered in the air.

Ronald was too powerful. The sheer scale of the wedding proved everything, showcasing to the world that he truly cherished her above all else.

Was it that they hadn’t wanted to attend the ceremony today?

No. They simply hadn’t been allowed anywhere near it.
