A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 268: Jealousy

She is so charming. Daniel's eyes gradually grow deeper and darker. When she passes by him, he

smells the faint fragrance of her perfume making him inexplicably upset.

Why does she look so happy to dance with other man?

Justin is well-disciplined. He just places his fist slightly on Stella's waist and glances at Daniel. He

smiles and says, "You accepted my invitation so quickly that I thought you had a thing for me."

"If you have no girlfriend, I don't mind being your girlfriend." Stella replies with a smile.

Justin shakes his head and says implicitly, "Any girl can be my girlfriend. But you can't. I'm afraid that

I'll be beaten to death if I make you my girlfriend."

"That's exaggerated."

"It's not an exaggeration." Justin says seriously, "Anyway, I should call you President Stella now.

Congratulations to President Stella for being the CEO of Long Peace Group."

Stella lifts her lips and smiles, "You helped me a lot. I'll treat you to dinner."

"You are so nice."

"We will become a family sooner or later. I must be nice to you." Stella says, "By the way, the Long

Peace Group and your company have a lot of projects to work on, so I need to get on well with you."

"The legal person is me. But the company is not mine. You've thought highly of me." Justin smiles and

shakes his head, "I'm only in charge of the drug research. I do not know much about business. The

company belongs to Daniel."

Stella is surprised.

She hasn't expected this. She used to mistake Justin as a businessman.

Seeing that Daniel's face is getting darker, Justin deliberately approaches Stella and asks with a smile,

"President Stella, can I tell you a story?"

"Sure. Go ahead."

Justin says, "I have a friend from a distinguished family. His father is a famous officer. His father has

been very strict with him since he was young. He also joined the army. Later, he met a girl and had a

crush on that girl."

Stella's breathing becomes a little heavier, "Then?"

"It would take too long to stay in the army. So, he wanted to retire from the army and get married. He

even had prepared the wedding rings. But his father scolded him after knowing that because he was

about to be promoted at that time. Of course, his father would not agree on his decision to retire from

the army."

"They had a quarrel. His father couldn't convince him and made a compromise. His father told him that

as long as he was promoted and stayed in the army for three more years, he would be allowed to

marry that girl. Unfortunately, his mother learned the news."

Justin can feel that Stella is gripping his shoulder tightly.

He pauses for a moment before continuing, "His mother believed that that girl's family background was

not good enough and wasn't well-matched to their family, so she went to the girl and persuaded her to

leave her son. The girl accepted 10 million yuan from his mother and wrote to him for breakup. It was a

heavy blow for him when he learned that she gave in to money. So, he resolutely discharged from the

army and went abroad."

"She lied to me." Stella's expression turns gloomy. She seems angry. "I wrote a letter to Daniel, but it

wasn't for breakup. She actually switched my letter."

When she reunited with Daniel in the hospital before, she thought that Daniel had hatred for her

because of her self-assertion.

It turns out that the switched letter causes Daniel to mistake her and feel that she is heartless.

"So, the letter was swapped." Justin takes a tumble.

No wonder when he heard Daniel's story before, he felt something was wrong. It turns out that

someone played tricks at that time.

Justin smiles and says, "President Stella, did I say that the protagonist is Daniel? Why are you so

angry?"

"Thank you, you are so thoughtful." Stella says, "If you hadn't told me the story, I would never find out

the truth. I have things to deal with now, so I gotta go."

She turns around and wants to get off the stage.

But she is in a hurry, and her skirt is too long. She steps on it by accident. As a result, she falls down.

Just as Justin reaches out to pull her back, Daniel has already got her.

Daniel firmly holds Stella's waist and puts her down. At the same time, he quietly pats away Justin's

hand with cold eyes.

Justin shrugs.

He doesn't do anything to her. Why is Daniel so jealous?

Stella looks still in shock. It takes her a while to regain her senses. She looks at Daniel's cold face and

kisses him on the cheek.

"Thank you. I need to handle something now."

She quickly gets out of his embrace and leaves the private room with her high heels while Daniel is still

staying put.

Her kiss is soft, her fragrance still lingering on his cheek.

Why does she express her gratitude by kissing him?

If Justin helps her, would she thank him this way? Daniel wonders.

Then, Daniel's expression becomes gloomier and gloomier.

"Daniel, President Stella has already left. Why are you still standing there?" Justin crouches down on

the edge of the stage and teases Daniel with a smile.

Daniel turns to look at him, his sharp eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

Justin gets nervous and wants to say something, but Daniel says coldly, "There's no enough fund for

the research and development of JH Technology. Your research institute won't get 100 million yuan."

"Daniel..."

"I'll give you one million in my own name as donation."

"..."

Damn! That means their institute lost 99 million yuan!

Wearing her high heels, Stella walks through the crowd like a queen, elegant and beautiful.

She goes to the door and asks the receptionist, "Has Mrs. Lou arrived?"

"Not yet."

At this moment, a lady dressed in a purple cheongsam comes into the banquet hall. She looks elegant

and graceful.

Stella's eyes darken immediately, but she welcomes her with a smile.

"Mrs. Lou, how do you do?"

"Oh, Ms. Stella." Mrs. Lou smiles gently but looks at Stella arrogantly. "I'm surprised that an illegitimate

daughter like you would be able to reach this position."

"Thanks for your 'praise'." Stella says calmly, "I'll lead you in."

Mrs. Lou nods.

After entering the banquet hall, Stella gives a glass of champagne to Mrs. Lou.

Mrs. Lou sees many acquaintances in the crowd and is surprised that Stella's connections are so

extensive. After taking over the Long Peace Group, Stella has even managed to win over these

entrepreneurs.

But--

Mrs. Lou takes a sip of champagne and says mildly, "Ms. Stella is very capable, but I am conservative.

I believe that even if one gains wealth and fame, her birth can't be changed."

"Even if you are the boss of Long Peace Group now, you are still an illegitimate daughter." She squints

at Stella with arrogance. "You're forever humble because of your humble origin. No matter what

position you take, you do not match my son."

Stella firmly holds her wine glass, without showing any dissatisfaction. She is still smiling and says,

"Mrs. Lou, you're right. The Lou family is a distinguished family. I shouldn't taint it."

Pausing for a moment, she says, "What if your son draws a line between him and the Lou family?" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Mrs. Lou's face immediately gets dark. "My son wouldn't do that."

"I know him more than you do." Stella approaches Mrs. Lou and says coldly, "Mrs. Lou, you are so

vicious. I promised you to take the money and leave. But you secretly asked someone to intercept my

letter and switched the letter to make us hate each other for so many years."

Hearing her words, Mrs. Lou is only slightly surprised. She quickly says casually, "I switched it, so

what? Now that you took my money, you shouldn't write to my son!"
