Chapter 501
"Huh? News to me!"
With a mixed expression, Maddie told her, "Looks like Mr. Ingram sorted it all out before you even got wind of it."
Gillian also wore a complex expression: "Mr. Ingram's got you so protected, you didn't have a clue."
Stephanie looked confused. "I seriously didn't know."
"Well, ignorance is bliss sometimes; I guess Mr. Ingram didn't want you to know. Human hearts can be so cunning. He wanted to keep you as innocent as possible!"
With an envious expression, Angela said, "I'm so jealous of you, having such a great guy like Mr. Ingram care about you."
Angelina Peck gave Angela a disgusted look without saying a word.
Feeling awkward, Angela laughed, "I forgot to introduce you guys; Steph is the fiancée of Skyline Corporation's CEO, Sebastian." "Humph, you're kidding, right? A small-time actress becoming the wife of Skyline Corporation's CEO?"
"It's true!"
Everyone looked at Stephanie with contempt. "She's up to par?"
With a helpless expression, Angela sarcastically said, "Whether she is or not, it's not your call."
"It's just for fun; can it be taken seriously?"
"Enough with the gossiping; it's freezing at the door; shall we go in?" Angelina Peck was clearly getting impatient.
As the group's leader, her words instantly quieted everyone, and they followed her into the banquet hall.
Only Caroline Snider remained, waiting for everyone to leave before giving Stephanie a friendly smile.
"So you're Stephanie."
Stephanie looked up at her and asked flatly, "Who are you?"
"I was at the Ingram's a while ago, and Sebastian mentioned you. He said, We'd probably meet if it's meant to be."
Stephanie looked confused. "Why would he say that?"
Caroline Snider laughed: "Ms. Palmer is off to mingle: you're free, right? Shall we go together?" "Aren't you with them?"
Caroline Snider shook her head and said, "No, I'm not part of their crowd; I just bumped into them at the door. Oh, khaven't introduced myself; I'm Caroline Snider."
Stephanie looked shocked. "The Snider family? What's your relationship with Rebecca?"
"She's my cousin, my father's cousin, to be exact."
Stephanie immediately lost interest, her face turning cold. "I'm sorry, Ms. Snider, I'd rather be alone. You go ahead."
Caroline Snider gave a bitter smile.

"There is."
"That doesn't stop us from being friends; I'm not the same type as my aunt."
Stephanie shook her head and said, "I'm not in your league, so we can't be friends. Please go ahead, Ms. Snider."
"Isn't Ms. Palmer also your friend?"
"We're classmates; that's different."
"But Ms. Bishop, I felt a connection when I saw you. You know, your eyes are like a relative of mine." "Really?"
"Ms. Bishop, I really feel like there's some sort of destiny between us Can you not prejudge me? If after some time you still don't like me, I'll accept it, but if you reject me now, I'll regret it."
