After saying this, she got out of the car and walked into the restaurant. Matthew followed behind her.
Inside the restaurant, Devyn was talking and laughing with her friends. She happily accepted everyone’s congratulations.
But when she raised her head and saw Stella, the smile on her face froze. Her expression gradually became strange.
Matthew noticed the change in Devyn’s expression, but he didn’t say anything.
Devyn immediately calmed down as if nothing had happened. She greeted Stella stiffly, “Stella… What a coincidence! You are here too.”
Stella didn’t pay much attention to Devyn’s reaction. She walked up to Devyn and said with a smile, “I happened to pass by and saw you, so I came to congratulate you.”
Her eyes moved to the glass in Devyn’s hand. She asked, “Are you holding a celebration party? Why didn’t you invite me? I sent you a message earlier. Didn’t you receive it?”
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Devyn’s face. She explained, “The people here today are all my current business partners. You don’t know them, so I think you won’t feel comfortable with them. I’m actually planning to celebrate with you tomorrow.”

Stella didn’t think much. She accepted Devyn’s explanation.
She smiled and said, “Thank you for being so considerate. But actually, there’s no need to bother. We are all your friends, and we are all happy for you. We can celebrate together.”
An awkward smile crept across Devyn’s beautiful face. “Sorry, I didn’t realize that. But since you’re here, why don’t you and Mr. Clark join us?”
Of course, Stella didn’t refuse. Instead, she sat down happily.
Devyn sat opposite Stella and asked everyone to enjoy themselves. But her words and actions became unnatural.
Everyone also noticed the change in her attitude. Suddenly, the atmosphere at the table became a little heavier.
Stella also felt something was wrong. She occasionally glanced at Devyn. But Devyn would only force a smile and immediately look away.
For some reason, she sensed Devyn looked guilty and scared.
Stella found it strange. It seemed Devyn had become restless since she and Matthew arrived

.
But although she noticed Devyn’s unusual behavior, she didn’t say anything. She continued to enjoy with everyone.
Until the party was over and Matthew took Stella back home, Stella was still in a daze. She really couldn’t figure out why Devyn behaved strangely during the party.
Matthew held her waist and led her into the room. When he saw her preoccupied, he asked directly, “Do you think something is wrong with Devyn?”
Stella raised her head and looked at him in surprise. “You felt it, too? It seemed like she was hiding something from me. Her expression was very unnatural when she saw me. She didn’t even dare to look at me.”
Matthew frowned. He remembered when Devyn stood out from the rest of the pack and made the cut.
He had some guesses, but there was no conclusive evidence. Besides, he didn’t want to upset Stella at the moment.
So, he pretended to be relaxed and pushed Stella upstairs. “Don’t think too much. Maybe she only got nervous when she saw I was with you. It’s late. Go take a shower first.”
