CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: STELLA GRANT, ARE YOU SECRETLY GLOATING?

Stella Grant had no idea what had happened, but Vivi Sterling was talking with great excitement.

"Stella, this time Corinne Kensington is doomed! It’s like heaven is helping us!"

"Now the whole internet knows she was the mistress, interfering in someone else’s marriage! Let’s see how she can still pretend to be pure and innocent!"

Stella had just recovered from a fever, still feeling weak and a bit slow-minded.

She looked at Vivi Sterling, confused, "What do you mean?"

"You don’t know yet?"

Vivi Sterling leaned closer, lowering her voice, but couldn’t hide her excitement.

"This morning Corinne Kensington held a fan appreciation event, and then your and Aiden Fordham’s marriage certificate was exposed. Now the whole internet knows she’s the mistress! The evidence is irrefutable!"

"The fans turned on her instantly, that sour feeling..."

Stella’s heart skipped a beat, so... the whole internet knew about her hidden marriage to Aiden Fordham?

She grabbed Vivi Sterling’s phone and opened a webpage.

[The Fordham Group’s stock hits limit down]

[Corinne Kensington’s image crumbles]

[The century’s top mistress]... All sorts of glaring headlines filled the screen.

No wonder...no wonder Aiden Fordham was so furious with her at noon today, questioning what she wanted to do.

So this is what he was asking about.

At that time she thought he was talking about the fire at The Lily Garden and stubbornly admitted it!

Stella just felt the world spinning around her.

Now, it seemed like the plot had gone awry again; once her marriage to Aiden Fordham was exposed, the subsequent divorce might not go so smoothly.

She looked up, full of confusion, "Who was it that exposed the marriage certificate?"

Her voice had a slight rasp to it.

"I don’t know, it seems even the heavens couldn’t stand it and wants to see her utterly disgraced!"

Stella thought, the people who had seen her marriage certificate were very few! Who would expose her and Aiden Fordham’s marriage certificate at this critical moment?

This was undoubtedly dragging her down! It felt like there was a hidden eye lurking in the shadows.

"By the way," Vivi Sterling remembered another matter, "The police station called me today."

"They said Melody Jewel is tight-lipped like a clam, refusing to say anything."

"I guess, she’s still counting on that old witch Helen Warren to save her." Vivi Sterling smirked disdainfully.

At the mention of Helen Warren, Stella’s face immediately turned cold, her eyes like ice.

She curled her lips into a frosty arc.

"Then let her stay in there, being a scapegoat for her master for a lifetime."

"Helen Warren..." she spoke decisively, her voice filled with deep-seated hatred, "I will never let her get away with it!"

Stella remained silent, but was quickly calculating in her mind, the Kensington Family’s bankruptcy was only a matter of time, but Helen Warren... must pay the price.

And the person who exposed the marriage certificate... who exactly was it? And for what purpose?

"Vivi, I didn’t bring my phone, can you break the good news to my senior, so he doesn’t worry?"

Stella handed the phone back to her.

"Sure, no problem." Vivi Sterling agreed readily, taking out her own phone to operate.

At that moment, the ward door was pushed open.

Aiden Fordham walked in.

He still carried the chill from outside, his face so dark it seemed like it could drip water.

Vivi Sterling immediately put away her phone and sensibly said, "Well... I’ll go fetch you some hot water."

After speaking, she slipped out smoothly, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

The ward was left with only Stella and Aiden Fordham.

The air instantly solidified, the pressure so low it was suffocating.

Stella lifted her eyes, meeting his icy gaze, momentarily unsure of what to say, the atmosphere awkward and heavy.

He walked to the bedside, didn’t speak, his eyes carrying a chill, suddenly he reached out, intending to check her forehead.

But Stella instinctively flinched, unwilling to have any contact with this man.

Every day he’s holding Corinne Kensington, she found him dirty!

At this moment, the air pressure in the room was extremely low, the anger in both of their eyes simmering underneath.

Aiden Fordham’s eyes coldly stared at her, just standing there like an ice sculpture, exuding an aura that warned people to stay away.

"Stella Grant, haven’t I warned you before not to provoke Corinne Kensington? Our feelings are none of others’ business."

Stella let it go, it seemed he was here to confront her, he was convinced that the marriage certificate was deliberately leaked by her.

"I heard that President Fordham has a secret team; why not send them out to properly investigate who exactly exposed the marriage certificate, I’m getting a headache. This title of the richest man’s wife, whoever wants it can take it, I won’t play the sympathy card to gain attention."

Hearing this, Aiden Fordham’s anger flared up, "According to you, there’s a possibility it was Corinne setting you up? Ridiculous."

Currently, Corinne was being heavily criticized online, it was unbearable to look at. Who would expose such bad things about themselves, and such a public figure at that.

"With President Fordham as her big tree, even if struck by lightning, she might not die. Who knows, a dramatic plot twist might be coming?" She sneered.

Aiden Fordham never knew, the "obedient wife" he had known for three years was actually such a sharp-tongued shrew. This was her true nature!

"Stella Grant, we’re all adults here, you’ve said before we should part on good terms, I hope you won’t engage in these little tricks behind my back in the future."

He was angry, his tone laced with threat.

Stella watched his righteous anger for another woman, suddenly feeling a bit desolate.

She suddenly understood, no matter how a man once desired you, it has nothing to do with love.

Her tone became sharp, "President Fordham, thank you for bringing me to the hospital, I’ll transfer the hospital bills to you."

No, she didn’t have his WeChat; she had added him many times before, but he never accepted, later, she just stopped adding!

Unexpectedly, it’s now him chasing after her to add... karma really doesn’t miss!

If he knew N was her, would his face sting with pain?

"I’ll give the money to Assistant Lindsey to return it to you." In any case, she didn’t want to owe him anything.

Aiden Fordham saw her unconcerned demeanor, exuding an intimidating pressure, "Stella Grant, do you think you’re not at fault?"

Stella suddenly laughed angrily, directly retorting, "If President Fordham weren’t so amorous, there wouldn’t have been such a scandal."

The stock hitting limit down should be a small punishment for him.

Aiden Fordham’s icy eyes seemed like they could freeze someone on the spot, "Stella Grant, are you secretly pleased now?"

So... this was how he viewed her, in his heart, she was so utterly wicked?

"The Fordham Group is vast, it won’t collapse in a single day. President Fordham shouldn’t be unable to withstand it, right?"

Her nonchalant attitude made Aiden Fordham a bit crazy inside.

"Sorry to disappoint you!" Aiden Fordham replied quickly and succinctly, "Even if it falls for a few more months, the Fordham Group won’t crumble."

His tone carried an all-encompassing confidence, apparently unfazed by this little storm.

Stella looked at him and slowly spoke, "Since that’s the case, President Fordham please leave, I need to rest!"

She turned her head, not wanting to argue with him anymore because she no longer had any expectations of him.

Aiden Fordham gave her a glance filled with inviolable detachment, "I hope you don’t interfere in matters between Corinne and me in the future, mind your own business."

His tone was venomous! This woman let him down too much!

Primarily, the fire last night burned his heart!

With such a big event happening, how could he just stand by... he had to save Corinne Kensington.

Who could predict how hard his heart became now, and how much it would face when he later begged her for forgiveness!

He didn’t know then, that later, he made her favorite donuts and paper airplanes, yet couldn’t win a smile from her.

At this moment—

"Bang!"

The hospital room door was suddenly pushed open.

Vivi Sterling rushed in with her phone in hand, her face filled with panic and disbelief.

"Stella! Look quickly! Corinne Kensington! Corinne Kensington is live streaming now!"

She shoved the phone screen in front of Stella, "She seems... about to commit suicide!"

Isn’t it true, the reversal happens that fast!
