Chapter 253
Enter title…
A famous celebrity, Ruby Chisholm, was shooting daggers at the two with her eyes, her
expression visibly filled with jealousy.
She had had her eyes on Stefan even before she joined the entertainment industry,
promising herself that she’d work hard to get his attention and subsequently become his
wife.
Unexpectedly, he married someone else before she got to make a name for herself.
Yet after a long while of waiting, waiting for her dream man to get a divorce, it seemed that it
would be to no avail.
“Who knows? I just know my cousin dislikes her, so I’m guessing she was the one who’s
pestering him!” Charlotte said as she looked towards Renee with disdain, patting Ruby on
the shoulder.
‘You’re just too modest, Ruby. You won’t even make a move on him! Now that they’re
divorced, you should just go for it… My cousin is literally
available now! Do you know how many people want him? How can you be so relaxed?”
Ruby was visibly frustrated. “It’s not that I don’t want to, but I am at the peak of my career
now. My new movie is going to premiere soon too. I just can’t afford to get into a scandal!’
‘ But my cousin is single. People would praise you for winning his heart! How could that be
considered a scandal then…’
Just then, Charlotte let out a sigh. “Though, you have to be careful around that witch,
Everheart. Don’t be fooled by her nonchalant act. She actually has a lot of tricks up her
sleeve, you know?”
‘ Back then, when Briar Desrosiers was pregnant with Stefan’s child, Everheart went as far
as to destroy her! So I don’t dare to provoke her either. I’m avoiding her at all costs!”
Ever since Briar lost her place in the family, Charlotte had been meaning to find someone in
her circle as a replacement, and Ruby was definitely her best option as of now.
Ruby’s beautiful face was brimming with pride and confidence, smiling slyly. “Her tricks are
child’s play compared to the entertainment industry! You should know that I managed to
work up from the bottom to where I am today, so how could I possibly lose to her?”
In order to prevent more gossip, Renee quickly separated from Stefan and headed straight
for the dessert section. She had been starving during their quest to find the seashells and
wanted to reward herself in some way.
Seeing how the woman was rushing off, Stefan felt upset but didn’t stop her this time.
Instead, he walked backstage to meet with Christopher and the others.
From afar, a figure in white appeared before him. Surprisingly, it was Cecilia in her wedding
gown.
Stefan furrowed his eyebrows slightly, his expression distant. “Why are you here?”
Cecilia seemed depressed, on the verge of tears, as she said, “Stef, can we go somewhere
private for a bit? I have something to say to you.’
“Just say it here.” Stefan remained cold, keeping his distance from the woman.
“I need to speak to you in private. Please, I’m begging you, or else this wedding can’t go
on…”
Stefan looked rather hesitant. Many famous figures were present at Christopher’s wedding,
and it would be humiliating for the Jacobs if something were to go wrong.
“Stop hesitating, okay? Just take it as a sacrifice for your precious little Chris! I’ll move on
after our conversation is done!” Cecilia chewed on her lip as she grabbed Stefan by the
arm, heading straight to the VIP room at the side.
Out of consideration for the bigger picture, Stefan reluctantly agreed to follow.
Cecilia shut the door and instantly pounced into the man’s arms. It was as if she had been
suppressing all her emotions up till now, sobbing hysterically.
“Stef, I regret everything! I really do! I don’t love Christopher at all. It’s always been you!”
“After breaking up with you, I’ve always dreamed of getting back together with you. I just
didn’t think you’d marry so soon! Thank god you’ve divorced now…”
Tears continued welling up in Cecilia’s eyes, her expression pitiful as she stared back at
Stefan, carefully asking, “What if I told you I wanted to start over? Would you take me away
from this wedding?
