Chapter 1416
Keegan finished his soup and said, "The date for the banquet has been set. Has Trevor told you about it?"
Stella replied, "Yes, he did. He told me not to worry about anything, and all I've got to do is show up on that day.
However, I'm still a little nervous about it. Is there really nothing I have to do?"
Keegan smiled. "Just prepare yourself mentally. I've had Aldor order a few gowns, which should be here soon. You
can choose the one you like and let everyone see how beautiful the heiress of the Saun family is."
Stella laughed. "How beautiful can I be? I just don't want to embarrass them. Everyone's attention will shift to
Jaylene anyway once she appears."
After spending some time in the industry, Stella learned how to read people well. Judging by their manners and
etiquette, she could easily distinguish between fake and real socialites.
Jaylene had the elegant aura that only a well-raised lady could possess. Although not exceptionally beautiful, her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdiscerning demeanor set her apart from many other ladies.
Rainee had spent some money hiring someone to help Stella with her postures, seating, and table manners.
It was not difficult to learn those things, but making them a habit was challenging.
Stella could pretend she belonged in the upper-class circle in public but for Jaylene... It was different. She did not
have to pretend and could do everything right naturally.
The manners and etiquette were ingrained in her, and she could never reveal her true self easily.
Keegan gently held her hand up and kissed the back of it before he said in a deep voice, "She can never compare
to you, no matter how good she is. I don't think it's just me who thinks that; I'm pretty sure your family does, too."
Stella chuckled and leaned in to give a peck on the corner of his lips. "It doesn't taste sweet, but why do the words
coming out of it sound so sweet?" she whispered.
"Are you sure? Why don’t you get another taste of it?"
Keegan was about to get it on with Stella, but her phone suddenly rang.
Stella, who had always been a loyal friend, pushed away her boyfriend and answered her best friend's call.
"Stella, Stinky Cucumber is having a terrible nosebleed. Was the soup prescribed by a professional?'
Stella paused. "Of course, it was! Keegan drank it, and he's completely fine. Why would I recommend something
that's not safe for you?" She paused before continuing softly, ” Could it be that he's too weak to handle it?"
Felicity was taken aback. 'That might actually be it. Since the efficacy isn't working for him down there, it has
probably gone somewhere else.'
Felicity frowned. "Could he be so weak that he can't even handle soup?"
Stella said empathically, "You should take him for a proper checkup. If it really doesn’t work, it's best for you to end
this relationship before you develop deeper feelings for him."
Keegan was speechless.
Felicity was very worried as she said softly, "It seems like the bleeding has stopped. I'll hang up now to check on
him."

After hanging up, Stella turned around and saw Keegan looking at her with an inquisitive expression.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Keegan asked, "Are you going to break up with me too if I became like Vermont?"
"Of course not," Stella replied.
Keegan felt a little better inside. Then, he heard Stella adding, "I mainly fell for how you look, and that's what I
prioritize."
Her words left Keegan speechless again.
However, Stella was not actually suggesting a breakup. She was simply making fun of Vermont's condition.
She just could not help but find it amusing that Vermont, someone with so much experience with women, had
trouble getting his little man up.
The news of the return of the Saun family's heiress had spread among the upper-class circle of Rivera.
It had become a hot topic among the ladies.
