Stella Sterling's gloomy expression vanished. "Jace Sheffield isn't engaged yet?"
Connor Linden mumbled around the cigarette in his mouth, "Heard they've already exchanged gifts. It's just a matter of formalities. The ceremony is next month."
Stella thought it over, and her mood gradually brightened.
'Jace Sheffield is getting engaged next month, and my sister is coming home next month.'
'Which means…'
'They're going to break up.'
'Maybe they already have.'
'Otherwise, Mr. Sterling wouldn't have told me before the end of the month that she was coming home.'
Stella breathed a sigh of relief and casually picked up a teacup from the table, taking a sip to calm her nerves.
Roman Rhodes, who was beside her, had been watching her expression the whole time.
Seeing her brow smooth out and her face light up with sudden understanding, he knew she had figured things out.
And just like that, Stella was back to normal.
Jude Langley, on the other hand, was starting to question reality.
