When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 945
The accusations come flying, one after the other.
Alina gritted her teeth in anger.
She stared at Mara, on the verge of losing her temper when a hand grabbed her.
Stella stood between them.
She smiled at Mara and said, “Madam, this is a public place.
If you have anything to say, why don’t you get up first?”
Mara stared at Stella, but she didn’t get up.
“I can’t get up.
Alina kicked me in the chest.
It’s quite painful, and I can’t breathe.
”
Alina couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Stop talking nonsense.
I didn’t even use much strength.
”
Stella, however, pinched her lightly.
She smiled reassuringly at Alina and said to her in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Miss Walker.
I’ll handle this.
”
Alina stared at Stella with a hint of suspicion.
She was all too familiar with Mara’s troublesome nature, having dealt with it for years.
Though unsure of Stella’s capabilities, she remained silent and stood behind her.
Alina’s silence seemed to give Stella the go-ahead.
She let go of Alina’s hand, turned to face Mara, and sized her up.
“You seem to be dressed in high-end brands, and your nails are freshly done.
You hardly look like someone struggling financially.
”
“What are you implying?” Mara cut her off, her fists tightening instinctively.
“These are all knock-offs.
”
“Knock-offs?” Stella laughed lightly, shaking her head.
“Not at all.
If I’m not mistaken, that’s the same dress Alina wore at a recent event.
It’s one of Aubrey’s creations, recognizable by the unique moon symbol on the sleeve.
”
Mara’s face fell as she hastily covered her sleeve, looking guilty.
Stella continued, “Aubrey values relationships.
She has a partnership with Alina, which likely includes a complete wardrobe.
That dress you’re wearing, if I’m not wrong, is worth around three million, not to mention its intrinsic value and Aubrey’s reputation.
”
“What’s your point?” Mara’s voice deepened with inquiry.
Stella’s smile didn’t waver as she responded calmly, “ALL I’m saying is that Alina isn’t heartless.
Materially, she hasn’t deprived you.
I’m curious about what else has left you dissatisfied, and why you’re so intent on tarnishing her name in public?”
Stella’s words shifted the mood, and the crowd’s skeptical gazes turned to Mara.
Enraged, Mara hadn’t expected Stella to be so articulate.
She protested, “I don’t know who Aubrey is.
The dress is a fake, and Alina did humiliate me publicly.
There were plenty of witnesses!”
