Having given an amazing speech, Stella was the main target of the toast.
Under the effect of alcohol, they all talked for a while.
Suddenly, one of them asked Stella out of nowhere, “You got married last year, right? Why isn’t your husband here?”
Another one added, “I heard that it was your grandpa who personally selected your husband. Today is such a big day. I hoped I could see your husband. I would also like to see how amazing the man is to be liked by your grandfather.”
Stella felt embarrassed, and she switched topics immediately.
“Today isn’t about me; it’s about Oliver and Juliette. We can discuss that later. Let’s drink!”
She raised her glass and emptied the content in one go. She smiled politely and said, “You guys keep talking. I’ll go to check on Juliette.”
Stella took a seat on the couch in the corner. She glanced at her watch, two hours until she’d have to meet with Maverick.
She took out another bottle of wine and drank.
They had been married for a year without a wedding ceremony, so she thought people wouldn’t really know about it.
She would never hear the end of it if these gossip people were to find out about the divorce.
Stella downed another glass, not caring about the headache forming.
Oliver found her after she had almost finished the whole bottle.

Frowning, he questioned her, “Why are you drinking so much, Stella?
I think you should head home first. I’ll send someone to take you back.”
Her head was spinning but she didn’t forget her meeting with Maverick.
A careless smile formed on her face as she said, “I’m fine; don’t worry. I’ll go downstairs to sober up. Go have fun with Juliette.”
“I’ll ask someone to take you home,” Oliver said, still worried about her.
“There’s no need for that!” Stella exclaimed playfully, pushing him away. She tried to sound convincing.
“I’m fine, honestly. Nothing is wrong. So quit worrying!”
Oliver was about to interject when someone called his name.
Stella had heard it too. She waved him off and said, “Go. You and Juliette are the main characters today. I can take care of myself.”
“If you have any problem, just call me!”
Stella nodded, watching his retreating figure.
