Chapter 618
Even though Felicity's words were vulgar, the impact they had was that of a boulder tossed into the water, which caused
thousands of waves and ripples.
"Is she talking about Stella Jewell?"
"How can it be? If she had the brains and ways to do this, would she have divorced Keegan? Stop joking."
"But, there's nobody else named Stella here, right?"
"I think the girl who shouted is the girl standing next to Stella Jewell."
"I think it really was her..."
Dahlia's face went red, and then green, and then blue with emotions. Never in her wildest dreams could she have predicted that
Lancelot was invited by Stella.
'With Lancelot here, Cordelia is already overwhelmed with joy. There's no room left for excitement for my grand finale.
'Stella stole the show!
'When She was one of the Kanes, Cordelia liked Stella the most. Now that she is divorced, she still managed to steal my
thunder!'
Dahlia stared at Stella with fiery eyes full of rage. Stella looked indifferent and calm as if accomplishing this was easy as pie to
her.
Cordelia was surprised to hear that it was Stella who had invited Lancelot and hurriedly called for Stella to come closer.
'Stella, what is this?" Cordelia asked.
Stella's eyes went soft, and she said warmly, "This is my birthday gift to you. Didn't you always want to listen to Lancelot's The
Flower Pavilion again?"
"Indeed, I do. But, how did you manage to invite him?"
"Lancelot is a nice person. I mentioned that you were a big fan of his, and he instantly agreed to sing for your birthday."
Lancelot froze and glanced at the lying young lady.
'Did she forget how she followed me to the tea shop that I usually go to?
'She shamelessly offered to carry my bird cages, helped me to get water, and made tea for me, and she won't leave no matter
how hard I tried to drive her away. How annoying,' he thought.
However, it was not because of Stella's shamelessness that Lancelot agreed to come.
If it was, anyone could have pestered him into performing.
He was willing to come because of Stella's mother, Rainee.
Before Lancelot became famous, he did not have many audiences. But, one of them would attend every time he performed, and
that person was Rainee.
The first two years after he started out, his tickets were the worst-seller in the theater because everyone only bought tickets to
see famous singers. This made him very depressed at the time.
The theater wanted to profit, so if the tickets were selling badly, they would cut down slots for the performance.
Then, Lancelot was at risk of not having shows to perform in.
Mysteriously, the news of the cutdown was spread among opera fans, and the next day, his tickets sold out for that show.
Lancelot was shocked. When he got on the stage, he realized that there was only one person in the audience. And, that person
was Rainee, Stella's mother.
She booked the entire theater to increase the sales of his tickets and to prevent his performances from being cut down.
Miraculously, his popularity started to increase that year. Then, in less than two years, he got famous.
After he was famous, Rainee would still support his performances. As long as she was free, she was sure to attend every show
that he had. For over ten years, she sat in the same seat each time.
When Stella approached Lancelot, she brought many pictures of him and Rainee together.
She was good at emotionally appealing to Lancelot, and he was thankful for this fan of his. Upon hearing that she had died, he
agreed to Stella's request as a token of appreciation toward Rainee.
So, seeing that Stella fibbed, Lancelot did not expose her.
Obviously, Cordelia liked Stella's reply. She held Stella's hand as she praised her again. It was a joyous scene.
Vermont smacked his lips and said, "Stella's quite impressive to be able to invite Lancelot."
