Chapter 1174
Lea and the couple had a great conversation and even decided to give Stella the dress she designed as a gift. Stella was so
happy with what had happened that she could not stop talking about it all the way back home. She mentioned how Lea had a
vision for things, unlike Keegan, who knew nothing about art.
Keegan's eyes twitched as he listened to her talking about it. He then grabbed a grape and stuffed it in her mouth. What Stella
thought was a coincidence was actually a deliberate arrangement by Keegan.
Stella often felt disconnected from Keegan due to Bella's existence in his life at the time. Subconsciously, she always felt that
Keegan did not like her and did not treat her well. Therefore, she did not connect the dots.
Now that she was seeing things from the outside, she realized that Keegan was not half bad at all. Not only did Keegan treat
Stella well, but he also took the blame for many of the things that he did not do.
Stella and Annie did not know each other well. The fact that the well- known designer stood up for her meant that Keegan had
something to do with it. Stella used to own a lot of Annie Crawford's designs in her closet, including ready-to-wear and high-end
fashion clothes. All of them were sent over by Aldor as per Keegan's instruction.
Keegan was not good at picking these types of things, but he knew how superficial Stella was. She often sought the most
expensive items rather than the best in quality. Naturally, the top designer in Hustuabourg, Annie Crawford, became Keegan's
first choice. In the end, Annie felt that she had to give her VIP client some face.
A big shot in the fashion industry standing out to speak on Stella's behalf was self-evident whether the dress was an original Lea
Sartorre or counterfeit.
"It's unimaginable that Stella actually has such a connection with Lea Sartorre."
"Well, she was a part of the Kane family. It's no surprise that she would be wearing such a collection. Unlike a special someone
who was excited to show off her dress that was already worn by someone else on the runway."
"Sophia was literally trying to humiliate Stella nonstop, asking her if she wanted a change of clothes. Yet, the dress she is
wearing isn't half as costly as the one Stella has. It's pathetic."
"Wendy Carlson's designs are plainer and more suitable for an international target audience. Any small artist in Hustuabourg
would be able to come up with something more innovative than her work. Lea Sartorre's pieces, however, are one of a kind and
complement the wearer well."
"That's the difference between a bronze-level player and a grandmaster."
Xianna's face turned red with anger when she realized that Stella was becoming the center of attention. However, Sophia's
expression was even uglier. Initially, Sophia wanted to humiliate Stella by asking if she wanted to borrow her clothes. She did not
expect to be the one who was embarrassed in the end.
In order to avoid further ridicule, Sophia swallowed her anger and left the crowd on the grounds of entertaining other guests who
were coming.
Stella pushed her hair back and took the wedding gift she had prepared to the reception while Keegan tagged along quietly. As
soon as Stella handed over the present, Keegan stopped her. He pulled out two envelopes filled with money and gave them to
the receptionist. Then, he said, "We're together."
Stella was taken aback by his action. She gently pushed the envelope away, immediately held out her gift, and said, "It's okay.
You can give yours while I give mine."
"Is it really that necessary to have such a clean-cut relationship with me?" Keegan pursed his lips and asked.
Stella's eyelids twitched violently. 'What is he doing?’ she thought.
