Chapter 742
Lucas looked coldly at her. “Although Guinevere has terminated her engagement with Weston, and your status as
Weston’s partner is slowly coming to light, I hope you can spare a thought for your own reputation.”
He paused for a moment before going on, “You’ll be walking down this path from now on. With Weston by your side,
he will do all he can to promote you, but you would surely have your past dug up in all its gory details as a public
figure. By then, Yvonne would certainly be implicated. She’s rash and quick-tempered, and I don’t want her to be
influenced by you.”
It was clear that he cared very much for Yvonne.
Stella’s facial features gentled. “Don’t worry. I don’t wish to see her implicated as well.”
Lucas left.
Stella heaved a sigh of relief as fatigue washed over her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThankfully, Michael did not cross paths with her again before the after-party came to a close.
After the event, Stella and Angelina shared a car back to their respective homes. In their hired cab, they saw a
familiar silver sports car from afar stopping right at the entrance.
Yvonne hopped down from the car and bounded toward Lucas.
“Why did it end so late? I’m so hungry. Let’s grab a quick bite!”
Lucas had long seen her coming toward him. He stepped forward and caught her in his arms. “Didn’t you already
have some desserts at home? Why are you hungry again?”
“I have a big appetite...”
Yvonne rebutted with gusto.
The look in her eyes suddenly changed as she leaned in closer to him and twitched her nose. “Let me see if you’ve
been close to any woman!”
She loved playing the jealousy card and didn’t like Lucas attending too many of such events.
There would always be beauties trying to chat him up, and he couldn’t always wear his ring, given his profession as
a doctor.
Lucas personally didn’t fancy such crowded events as well, but her sniffing tickled him. “Are you a dog?”
“Yes, I am. A dog that specializes in sniffing out vixens!” Yvonne said forthrightly.
Lucas furrowed his brows. “Be serious. Cut it out.”
His heart, however, enjoyed every moment.
Yvonne knew him inside out, and she hooked her arm around her neck and jumped onto him, forcing him to carry
her. “I deliberately drove over to fetch you home. Don’t be ungrateful now.”
In the midst of their public displays of affection, Yvonne suddenly spotted Stella seated in another car.
She stood stunned for a moment before excitedly greeting her out loud, “Ella, what are you doing here?”
Stella lowered the windows and said smilingly, “It’s a press conference organized by the crew, so I decided to join
in. I didn’t expect to bump into Dr. Quirk here.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYvonne turned to look at Lucas, displeased. “Why didn’t you tell me that you met Ella here?”
Lucas’ face turned cold and distant. “Isn’t it time for us to grab that bite?”
Yvonne’s stomach growled.
She looked bashfully at Stella, “I’ll be off, then! Let’s gather again next time.”
Stella nodded, but Yvonne almost didn’t catch it as Lucas pulled her away and strode to their car, not giving them
any further chance to catch up.
Angelina looked at their exchange and was rather confused. “Why do I feel like that doctor has something against
you?”
Stella shook her head, “He does.”
“But his girlfriend seems to like you a lot...”
“They are husband and wife,” Stella corrected her. A moment later, she added, “Yes, I am friends with her.”
Angelina blinked. “You have such a strange relationship with them.”
The car engine sputtered to start.
Angelina added, “I’m suddenly a little hungry. Shall we grab a bite too?”
Stella nodded.
Weston was still at the office, and she did not need to accompany him for dinner.
