Chapter 321

Seeing how Dahlia was silent for a long time, Cyrene smiled slightly and said, “You’ve been quiet for a

while now, Dahlia. Are you dissatisfied with the arrangement? To be honest, what’s the difference

between you and Stella organizing it? You’re both from the same family, so she’ll bring honor to your

family if the banquet succeeds.”

‘And, by the same token, she’ll bring shame to their family if the banquet is botched,’ she thought.

Dahlia suppressed the frustration she felt within. Then, she lifted her head, and her gaze swept past

Cyrene.

“Since mom wants to let Stella organize it, I obviously have no objections. I’m just a little worried that’s

all,” she said calmly.

She turned to Stella and warmly said, “Stella, come to my place after this. I’ll tell you the whole flow. You

can ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand. There’s no need to be frugal when money needs to

be spent. In short, make it as perfect as it can get.”

Stella lowered her gaze and answered softly, “I understand.”

Regardless of what others thought about Cordelia’s arrangement, she seemed really happy herself. After

they had finished discussing the business at hand, she said she was hungry and wanted to have dinner

early.

‘While the rules in the Kane family aren’t considered a lot, the division of labor is really clear. When

grandma discusses matters related to the men in the Kane family, none of the daughters -in-law will

interrupt. On the other hand, when grandma discusses matters related to the women in the Kane family,

the men in the family will hardly talk. For instance, when grandma discussed who would organize the

birthday banquet, Keegan, Chandler and the rest did not take a stance from the beginning to the end,’

thought Stella.

At the dinner table, Cordelia asked about some matters related to the company. Most of the questions

were answered by Chandler and Keegan, while the rest of them kept quiet.

After dinner, everyone had tea in the living hall. Meanwhile, Stella helped clear the plates and cutlery.

Corrin was really perceptive. She said to Stella in a low voice, “Mrs. Kane, you don’t have to worry about

this. Go sit down and have tea with everyone in the living room.”

“It’s fine. Since I just had dinner, I want to move around to stimulate digestion.”

‘Since I took what Dahlia wanted, she won’t have a pleasant expression when she sees me. If I sit down

next to Dahlia in the living room, she’ll probably feel incredibly uncomfortable. Since I’m also feeling

uncomfortable, I might as well do some chores to feel more comfortable,’ thought Stella.

Seeing this, Corrin did not say anything more.

Corrin did not let Stella do the washing, so she asked her to cut the fruits and plate them.

In the midst of cutting the fruits, Stella suddenly sighed.

Corrin noticed how pitiful she looked and asked, “What’s the matter, Mrs. Kane?”

“I’m wondering if grandma’s still angry at me.’

Corrin laughed. “What makes you say that?”

Stella muttered, “If she weren’t angry with me, why’d she throw this hot potato at me?”

“She obviously values you a lot to let you handle such an important task. If she was angry with you, she

wouldn’t even have let you in the house when you sent her Pelmeni those few days.”

Stella pouted.

‘She clearly didn’t want to offend her daughters-in-law, so she dumped this task at me. It’s not her first

time doing such a thing. However, at this point, I’ve already offended the people I can offend. Now, I can

only think of a way to make the birthday banquet a success,’ she thought.

“Corrin, tell me how grandma’s birthday banquets were done in the past.”

Corrin was a little shocked.

‘The truth is, the old lady had already told us in private about what was to happen today prior to their

arrival. Then, she had even made a bet with us on whether Stella would organize the birthday banquet

by herself or secretly give the opportunity to Dahlia and win Dahlia’s favor. The old lady bet that Stella

would organize it herself, while my husband and I bet that she’d let Dahlia organize it. Stella usually has

an incredibly soft disposition in front of elders. She’s timid and cautious with her words because she

fears that she’d make a mistake and offend others. Dahlia had never liked her daughter-in-law. Now that

the old lady asked Stella to organize the birthday banquet, nothing’s stopping her from giving this

opportunity to Dahlia and using it to improve her relationship with her mother-in-law. Not only is this the

best option, but it’s also the safest. However, the old lady thought the birthday banquet was an

opportunity for Stella to rise to prominence in the elite circle. If Stella had the ambition to be the mistress

of the house, she would certainly seize this opportunity,’ thought Corrin. Cordelia guessed the outcome

correctly, but she got the process wrong.

It was not that Stella was ambitious, but she had thoroughly offended Dahlia long ago.
