When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1940

After saying this, she hung up the phone without waiting for him to say anything more.

Miley teased her, “You have been married for a long time, but Matthew is still so clingy to you.

I’m surprised.

”

As soon as Miley said this, her phone rang.

It was Neville.

When Stella saw the caller’s name on the screen, she laughed and said jokingly, “Well, your boyfriend is also clingy.

”

Ignoring the embarrassed look on Miley’s face, Stella patted her on the shoulder and said, “Answer it.

I’ll just go to that jewelry shop.

”

Stella entered the shop in front of them.

The shop assistant immediately approached her.

“Hello, ma’am.

What kind of jewelry are you looking for? We have some new arrivals, and most of them are pearls.

They suit your temperament.

”

“Okay, I want to see them,” Stella replied briskly.

The shop assistant led her to the counter and took out the sets of jewelry she recommended.

While Stella was looking at the jewelry, a woman’s voice sounded behind her.

“Oh, isn’t this Mrs.

Clark?”

Stella turned her head and saw the woman.

She immediately felt a sense of hostility from the woman.

But she didn’t know the woman, so she didn’t say anything.

Joann and her two friends walked up to Stella and glanced at the jewelry she was looking at.

Then, Joann said disdainfully, “This is so old-fashioned.

I’m afraid only a country bumpkin will like this kind of thing.

”

As Joann spoke, her disdainful eyes were fixed on Stella.

She snorted coldly, “Now that you have married Matthew, you have begun to buy these vulgar things with his money.

As expected, you’re just a cheesy woman.

”

One of her two friends beside her echoed, “That’s right.

Some people use unscrupulous means just to marry into a rich family, hoping they can live a better life.

But even so, they still can’t change their poor taste.

The other friend added, “Unlike our Joann, who grew up in a wealthy family.

These lowly sets of jewelr

y are just trash in her eyes.

”

When Joann heard these compliments, a hint of complacency appeared in her eyes.

On the other hand, Stella was displeased.

She asked with a frown, “Who are you? Have we met?”

Joann snorted coldly, “Humph! Do you want to know my name? Are you worthy of it?”

After saying this, she picked up the jewelry Stella was looking at.

Joann smiled contemptuously and said arrogantly, “Since you are spending Matthew’s money, I advise you to buy more valuable things rather than this.

Don’t always lay your eyes on these flashy but cheap things.

Otherwise, if you are kicked out of the Clark family one day, you will be poor again.

”

Stella could tell that this woman was making trouble out of nothing.

Her face darkened slightly.

She said coldly, “It’s not your concern.

I have my own job, and I don’t need to live off a man.

If you continue talking nonsense, I can sue you for stirring up trouble.

”

However, Joann didn’t take her threat seriously at all.

“Oh my! I didn’t know you got angry so easily.

Did I say anything wrong? I am just telling the truth.

If you didn’t hook up with Matthew, you wouldn’t be qualified to enter this jewelry shop.

”

Stella didn’t want to waste time on shallow people like Joann and her friends.

She grabbed the jewelry from Joann’s hand and said indifferently, “Since you are so much better than me, the amount of this jewelry is certainly nothing to you.

If you want to buy this for me, I won’t mind.

But if you have little money, just be quiet and stop disturbing me.
