Chapter 459 Damian Is Heartless
Damian did not intend on joking with Stella.
“Stella, I’ve warned you to not seek trouble with Wren. Our problem has nothing to do with her.”
Stella scoffed, “Why? Did Wrenna complain to you?”
“She doesn’t have to complain to me. I know what kind of person you are, so don’t make me repeat myself. I no longer have any feelings for you. Regardless of whether I’m married or not, I’ll never get back together with you. You know my temper, Stella. If you keep this up, don’t blame me for not caring about old time’s sake.”
“Haha… Old time’s sake? Does it still exist between us? If so, you wouldn’t have listened to your mother and broken up with me. You’re too cruel. Because you wanted to be filial, you abandoned the woman you loved. Can you be any more hypocritical, Damian?”
He did not rebuke.
Every time Stella mentioned this topic, she would get extremely angry.
Her questions, yells and agony did nothing but make herself seem like a clown in front of Damian. Although he was the one who started all this, he remained unaffected.
Stella hated it when he was so calm and rational, especially how heartless he was.
I thought that Matthew is known to be a man obsessed with love? Why is Damian so heartless, then?
After returning to the country, Stella kept suffering from drawbacks and failures in front of Damian. After seeing how heartless he was, she realized that she had no confidence in winning him back again.
What she was doing was nothing more than a futile struggle. Stella knew that she would never succeed, but she had no other choice anyway.
Back then, Clarissa had wasted many years before marrying Matthew.
Hence, Stella could work hard for a few more years too.
“I’m sorry, Damian. I know that your mother is very important to you. I don’t mean to say anything else. I know that if I want to win you over, I need her to forgive me. However, you know that I can never change my background and family. She isn’t looking down on me, but my family. Do you know how much pain I’ve been in over these past few years? If possible, I wish that I have been born into a stable and happy family. I don’t want to be rich, as long as my family can be a harmonious one… But I can’t change anything! Why doesn’t your mother want to let me off the hook? Does she want me to die and get reborn again?”
“Stella, my mother isn’t like that. You know very well why she doesn’t like you.”
Damian ignored Stella’s pleas coldly.
“This is the last time, Stella. I’m not joking anymore! If you make Wren unhappy again, I won’t hesitate to make you unhappy too. After coming back, you joined the T Corporation and became the chief financial officer. It’s enough for you to become the person you wish to be. Well, I’m acquainted with the chairman of the company. If I say something to him, you might lose your position easily. You know that I’m capable of doing that.”
Stella gripped her phone so tightly that her fingers turned pale.
“How dare you threaten me, Damian?”
“Yes, I’m threatening you. I know what you like and want the most, so I can do that.”
Stella’s heart skipped a beat.
“What are you talking about?”
Her heart thumped rapidly, as a feeling of guilt surfaced within her.
Damian did not elaborate. “You’d better watch out.”
After ending the call, he stood motionlessly for a long time. When he turned around, he saw Wrenna staring at him from the windows.
She immediately flashed a grin at him, as if there was nothing troubling her at all.
Damian’s mood improved as well.
Let bygones be bygones.
When Damian returned to the house, Wrenna held him. She discussed with him what she would cook tomorrow and eagerly waited for him to compliment her.
Wrenn took a picture of her breakfast and posted it again.
She had been acting all chummy recently.
Someone immediately commented, “Mrs. Quigley, are you back with your lovey-dovey breakfast? You didn’t post anything the day before yesterday. Did something happen?”
“Did you have an argument with Mr. Quigley? Did you reconcile with each other today?”
“I agree! It’s normal for couples to argue than to be so lovey-dovey. Mrs. Quigley must be like that too! The more cheesy a couple is, the more abnormal they are. Perhaps, Mrs. Quigley and Mr. Quigley don’t have a good relationship. There are probably only a few days when they’re on good terms. She’s only doing such cheesy things because she feels lonely. This is for no one but herself.”
“What are you talking about? You’re just jealous of Mrs. Quigley. Mrs. Quigley, don’t listen to them!”
“Yeah! They must have a miserable marriage, so they’re imposing that on everyone else. It’s obvious that Mrs. Quigley’s a happy woman. Look, she can think of ways to cook delicious food for her husband every day. Only someone who is in love can do that!”
There were a lot of such pleasant and unpleasant comments. However, Wrenna rarely replied to the comments, except for instances when she had to post her recipe.
These photos were just a way for her to express her love for Damian. It was a record, not something for her to attract more fans or achieve something else.
After Wrenna got to know Hailey, she would go to Hailey’s studio whenever she was free and watch her sew. It was wonderful how she could sew such beautiful artworks. Wrenna rarely admired people, but Leia and Hailey were the exceptions.
They were simply too charismatic.
Hailey was a gentle girl whose smile always made others feel happy. When Wrenna sat beside her, she would calm down and her mind would be free of any thoughts. All she could focus on was Hailey’s sewing.
Wrenna even teased Hailey for that.
“Hailey, you should do a live broadcast online. Those who feel angry or sad can probably calm down just by watching you. You can even call your live broadcast ‘The Therapy Room’! I’m sure that it’ll become popular.”
Hailey thought that she was joking. “I’m too busy to do a live broadcast!”
“You don’t even have to do anything. When you work, you can just place a camera here and film yourself. It’s really simple! If you want to, I can help you. Also, isn’t it better if more people can view and understand your work?”
Hailey thought about it before glancing at her again.
“Although there are people who like and buy my products, many others are still not aware. Will more people find out about my work if I do a live broadcast?”
She just wanted to help others.
Wrenna nodded. “Yeah, but you must become popular first. After that, others will follow the trend and buy the things you recommend to them. That’s what live broadcasts are good for… You should give it a try, Hailey!”
Hailey was tempted by her suggestion.
It was not a decision to be made on a whim. However, Wrenna had already shared Hailey’s sewing videos and products on her own account, which had quite a lot of followers. She wished that more people would know about Wrenna.
As Wrenna had had quite a lot of fans, Hailey’s follower count increased rapidly after Wrenna recommended her. Many of the followers were there for Hailey’s hands and artworks.
On the video which Wrenna had posted, Hailey’s face was not revealed. She had specially requested that.
However, her hands were extremely pretty.
“I’m so turned on by her hands…”
“Your sewing is so beautiful! My older relatives have sewn like that before too… It’s obvious that you’re an expert.”
“So you’re Mrs. Quigley’s good friend! I like Mrs. Quigley a lot, so I like you too.”
Hailey did not expect Wrenna’s recommendation to have such a huge impact.
With that, she immediately agreed to do the live broadcast, but she needed time to prepare.
To express her gratitude, Hailey wanted to treat Wrenna to a meal when she did not have any lessons.
After agreeing on a date with Wrenna, Hailey waited for her in school. When Wrenna was still having lessons, she took a stroll around the campus. She admired the youths there, feeling that it was a pity for herself.
When it was time to meet, Hailey walked toward the female dormitories. Upon passing by one of the buildings, she bumped into Stella, who was coming out.
Hailey suddenly froze when she spotted Stella. She glared at Stella, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred.
Stella was caught off guard too. She stared at Hailey in a mixture of fear and panic before forcing herself to calm down quickly.
However, Stella calmed down soon.
There is no need for me to feel guilty or scared.
Hugging her laptop case, she headed to the parking lot, as if she did not even see Hailey.
However, Hailey quickly walked toward her.
“Stella…”
Stella dashed into her car anxiously and drove away. It was pathetic how eager she was to flee the scene.
Hailey stared in the direction where she left, resentment still boiling within her for a long time.
“Hailey?”
When Wrenna walked downstairs, she spotted Hailey.
Hailey’s expression was so different that Wrenna wondered if she was still the same gentle and cheerful person from before.
Only then did Hailey turn around and look at Wrenna. Her usual expression appeared on her face again.
Smiling, she said, “You’re here, Wren. I was about to wait for you outside your dormitory.”
“What happened just now, Hailey?”
