When Stella Now Noel, her eyes lit up uncontrollably. Even Rebecca couldn’t help but take another look at him.
When he noticed the unwelcome stares, his cold gaze swept over them. Stella lowered her gaze in a mix of fear and shyness.
Watching this, Whitney sneered internally. So, she had changed targets again.
This most be Noel. My, what a handsome young man, Westley complimented.
“And you are?” Noel’s expression remained indifferent, histone carrying amit edge.
Westley froze awkwardly, not expecting Noel te sprak so bluntly. As a scion of both a prominent political family and a wealthy one, Noel exoded an innate alootness and arrogance.
“Noel, this is Mr. Spencer, Whitney’s father,” Elijah intresliced.
Westley straightened his posture again, waiting for Noel to address him.

As she spoke, she stole a glance at Noel
In the blink of an eye, only Westley, Rebecca, Emily, and Whitney remained in the living room. Damian had an engagement tonight and hadn’t renamed, and Samuel was also absent.
Emily set on the long couch opposite them. She lifted her chin, looking smug and condescending as she sized them up.
“If it weren’t for Mr. Howard Senior, I wouldn’t have agreed to this marriage at all. Not a single one of you Spencers is good enough for my son.”
With Elijah gone, Emily no longer bothered to hold back her words
Hearing this, Rebecca couldn’t sit still “Emily, our Spencer family may not be as prominent as the Howard family, but you can’t say one in our family is worthy.
Jokat Stella She’s well–rated and educated. Not only can she be a socialite, but she can also manage as a politician’s wife.”
Rebecca’s words were a clear job at Whitney

Emily rolled his eyes. “Margaret’s still lying in the hospital, and you call that “above board? You’re nothing more than a mistress. I suggest you know your place and stop daydreaming ”
Rebecca was so furious that she couldn’t find the words to respond. She could only tug at Westley’s arm, frustrated that he wasn’t standing up for her.
Being pulled so insistently, Westley had no choice but to say, “Emily, I’m sure it’s because Whitney has been disrespectful to you that made youupset. Don’t worry. She’s hall your daughter too. If she’s done anything wrong, you can scold her or discipline her however you see fit. We won’t object.
“Let’s focus on discussing their wedding. It’s already around the comet”
The mention of the wedding only forled Emily’s anger. The thought of having a daughter–in–law who she disliked made her blood boil.
“Deserts“” Emily stood up, towering over them. “I’m not feeling well. Let’s skip the discussion. You can leave now.”
With that, she ordered the maids to see them out and left the main building herself, heading toward and Manor.
Rebecca was livid. “What kind of attitude is that?”
Noticing Whitney’s silence, Rebecca tumed her frustration toward Whitney. “Why didn’t you say anything it now? Didn’t you see how humiliated your father and 1 were? You just let her insult us like that?”
Whitney didn’t look the least bit angry, Instead, she wore a slightly aggrieved expression could ajerlike me possibly do anything? since you’re leaving, Fill go get Stella”
Without giving Rebecca a chance to retort, Whitney quickly walked toward the backyard. She hadn’t taken more than a few steps when she saw Stella throw herself into Noel’s arms.
