When Stella finally noticed, she made sure to keep her distance from Zola to avoid any conflict.
She was going to do the same thing today. Besides, this was Betsy’s party.
Zola walked straight towards Stella, not giving her a chance to leave.
She sat beside Stella and said, “Stella! Why are you here? I thought you were abroad.”
Besty took Stella’s hand in hers, giving it a small squeeze.
“Stella just returned to Seamarsh so I used the opportunity to invite her.
She’s married.”
Besty thought Zola would let the grudge go if she was aware that Stella was married.
Zola eyes widened slightly.
“Seriously?” Her tone changed, becoming deceptively friendly.

“What does he do? Your husband? Is he from Seamarsh as well?”
Not wanting to elongate the conversation, Stella replied curtly, “He’s a businessman.”
“A businessman huh? His name? I’m sure my husband would know yours.
He’s a top entrepreneur in Seamarsh.”
At this moment, Zola’s husband, Colden Natt, entered and offered an apology, saying, “I’m sorry, it was quite challenging to find a parking space.”
Zola gently took the man’s arm and said playfully, “Darling, why are you apologizing? Our car is just too huge.”
She cast a defiant glance at Stella and inquired, “Since my husband happens to be here, you can go ahead and tell us about your husband.”
Stella replied politely, “He’s just a regular businessman. I don’t believe your husband is acquainted with him.”

Zola’s confidence grew. She smiled and said, “Stella, please, just tell us his name. It shouldn’t be so hard, right? As our husbands are both businessmen, they could assist each other in their endeavors.”
“But, if they don’t know each other, then we can drop the subject.”
Zola’s persistence made Stella feel somewhat uncomfortable.
She had no other option but to comply.
“His name is Maverick Clark.”
Zola had never heard this name before, so she turned to her husband for a reaction.
