Chapter 148

[ 548 words ]

Stella was genuinely surprised.

The union between the Larkin family and the Patel family had always been a matter of concern for Cloudia and Blaise. Logically, Jaxon shouldn’t be seen in public with that woman. Seeing Stella silent, Susanna ask, “Do you know something?”

“Yeah, I know,” Stella nodded.

Susanna gasped, “Is the child really his? Then what’s the deal with him and Sirena?”

Could the Patel family really overlook something like this?

Jaxon was bold, alright. Wasn’t he afraid the Patels would skin him alive for pulling something like this?

Stella shared, “It’s a long story. Apparently, that woman was a barmaid at Nocturne Hues.”

Susanna, who was about to take a sip of water, choked and spat it out.

A barmaid at Nocturne Hues?

Jaxon actually…

Stella handed her a tissue, “That’s why the Larkins have never accepted that woman or the child.”

Susanna pondered, “So Jaxon didn’t fight for her?”

“What could he fight for? Do you think he’s the type to be sincere?”

True, Jaxon might have just been playing around and ended up with a bigger situation on his hands.

“That woman wanted to climb the social ladder by using the child. She waited until the kid was one year old before approaching Jaxon, but it didn’t work out.”

Hearing all this, Susanna was astounded, “This is explosive news. I can’t believe you never told me.”

“Why would I? You know I don’t gossip without good reason.”

Susanna had to agree. Stella was not one to show off or gossip unnecessarily. Otherwise, how could she not know about Stella’s studio making seven hundred thousand last year? She’d never reveal what she wasn’t asked about.

“If Sirena finds out, she’d turn heaven and earth, not to mention Jeremy.”

Just the thought of Jeremy made Susanna believe Jaxon had a death wish. Of all the trouble in the world he had to stir up this kind.

“If Jeremy finds out, he’d be gunning for Jaxon.”

Stella remarked, “That barmaid is no easy target.”

A woman who’d keep her pregnancy hidden and only approach Jaxon with a paternity test after the child was born clearly had ambitions.

Susanna nodded, “She’s definitely scheming. If she learns about the Larkin and Patel alliance, she might just cause trouble.”

Stella kept silent. Her eyes sparkled abruptly at that thought, “Cause trouble, you say?”

Susanna replied, “If she was truly selfless, she’d have kept the child hidden and never approached Jaxon.”

So, it was

clear that the woman

aimed to leverage the child to secure

her position. Knowing this could

trigger a scandal if the woman

learned about Jaxon’s intentions to marry Sirena.

Seeing Stella silent, Susanna asked, “What are you planning?”

Stella retorted, “So, they get to mess with me, but I can’t retaliate?”

Susanna got the message. The Larkins had been too bold in Stella’s world, and she wasn’t one to sit back passively. Searching chaos?

Let them all dive into the madness together; the more, the merrier.

The more Stella thought about it, the

more excited she became, and she immediately called Idris, “Dig up everything on Jaxon’s woman. I’m going big.”

Ronald had already made his move, and now it was her turn to step up.

As Susanna heard Stella talk about going big, her lips couldn’t help but twitch.

After hanging up, Stella said, “I’ve been so busy these days, hadn’t even thought of using that woman.”

Stella only regretted she hadn’t taken advantage of that woman earlier as a way to retaliate.
