Annelise Valentine pinched Stella Sterling's card between her fingertips, holding it up for a look.
"Two million?" She flipped the card over between her fingers.
Then, with a flick of her wrist, she tossed it back at Stella Sterling.
"Take it back. Consider this two million my wedding gift. Use it to order a better wedding dress, so when you're standing next to him, people won't say you aren't good enough."
The card slid from her chest, landed on her lap, bounced once, and fell to the floor. Stella Sterling didn't bend to pick it up.
Having said her piece, Annelise Valentine had no desire to waste any more words with her and rose to leave.
Seeing her get up, Zane Patterson immediately went to her side.
"Annelise..."
Annelise Valentine said, "Let's go home. I miss Pippa."
Zane Patterson nodded, turning to let her go first, and followed behind her. After a few steps, he subconsciously glanced back and saw Stella Sterling bending down to pick up the card.
