Chapter 936
Chapter 936 Friends To Enemies
The moment the words left Stella’s lips, she was filled with regret.
She had already upset enough people as it was; she couldn’t afford to offend Yvette as well.
Yvette was about to hit her again when Stella swiftly grabbed her hand. “Yvie, don’t. Everyone’s watching.”
At this moment, Yvette finally understood the feelings that Cecilia had been harboring all this time. She had never been as regretful as she was now.
“Stella, from now on, we’re no longer friends. You’re my enemy.”
Indeed, it was only when adversity struck oneself that one truly understood the pain.
Everyone stood by, merely observing the spectacle without intervening. After all, they had all witnessed earlier how Yvette had spoken to Cecilia.
Even though Cecilia and Nathaniel were already married, she claimed that the one who wasn’t loved was the third wheel.
Her values were so skewed, and now that she’d been cheated on, naturally, no one would come to her aid.
Stella wanted to have a private word with her. “Yvie, can we discuss this when we get home?”
“Get lost!” Yvette’s eyes were now brimming with anger “You’d better leave Tudela immediately, or I’ll make sure you have nowhere to rest in peace!”
She was not joking.
She had always gotten everything she could ever want at home; when had anyone dared to betray her like this?
Realizing Yvette was being serious, Stella scanned her surroundings.
Suddenly, her gaze settled on Cecilia.
“This is all your doing, isn’t it?”
Reflecting on the words Cecilia had spoken at the restroom earlier, Stella felt certain.
After all, Ruth didn’t hold any grudge against her!
Cecilia unconsciously chuckled. “What do you mean, my doing? You’re not implying that I forced you to be with Francis, are you?”
Once these words were spoken, the people around couldn’t help but show their disdain.
Yvette was not a fool. “Stella, I really misunderstood you. You used to tell me how pitiful you were, how you were forced to be with your ex–boyfriend, Sean. To think I was naive enough to believe you. You also said that Nathaniel was not at all fond of Cecilia and that it was Cecilia who forced you to break up with him, and I believed that too.”
Upon hearing her words, Cecilia added, “Stella, aren’t you just shameless? When did I ever force you to and left him of your own volition.”
After Cecilia finished speaking, everyone began to chime in, each adding their own comments and opinions.
“Who would have thought? Appearances truly can be deceiving.”
“Looking back now, it’s clear that the Rainsworth family would never have allowed an orphan to become their daughter–in–law.”
“That’s right. Cecilia used to be the granddaughter of the wealthiest man, and the second daughter–in–law of the Rainsworth family, Cassandra Evans, also comes from an extraordinary background.”
“Elena certainly knows how to choose her daughters–in–law.”
Upon hearing all this, Stella was utterly furious. Nevertheless, she couldn’t possibly confront everyone on her own, could she?
“Since everyone seems to dislike me so much, I suppose I’ll take my leave then.”
She clenched her fists and left the place.
Once Stella left, Yvette followed suit, intending to hit her more.
The gathering naturally lost its necessity to continue. Cecilia was also ready to head home early. If she returned too late, she wouldn’t have time to call and video chat with Jonathan.
When Cecilia stepped outside, she hadn’t walked far before she spotted Stella and Yvette tussling with each other. The sight of their scuffle was quite a spectacle.
The others also joined in watching the drama unfold.
Stella and Yvette were at each other’s throats, neither willing to back down. They had even torn out handfuls of each other’s hair. Just as their fight was reaching a fever pitch with no clear winner in sight, a sleek, top–of–the–line black Rolls–Royce pulled up slowly to the entrance.
Everyone’s gaze was collectively focused in that direction.
“Whose car is this?”
“Could it be from Yvette’s family?”
Stella and Yvette both paused in confusion upon seeing the vehicle.
