The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 163

Back then, taking that risk was just being young and reckless when I think about it now.

He wasn’t that kid who only knew how to mess around and had a bit of a mean streak anymore. He had already become the head of a big corporation. She didn’t need to offend someone so powerful she couldn’t handle.

Estrella squinted her eyes a bit and looked at Stephanie, saying, “So, you’re choosing not to go with the Shelton Group?”

Stephanie took a step forward, and the distance between them got even closer.

“Threaten me?” Stephanie looked coldly at Estrella.

“Hasn’t it already been a threat for a long time?” Estrella sneered.

Stephanie squinted her eyes a bit, “I thought we were discussing.”

“Heh…” Estrella laughed mockingly, and she said, “Stephanie, you’re a woman who depended on the Humphrey family to survive. What right did you have to discuss anything with me?”

Estrella said this and shook her phone. There was a message from Roxanne on it.

She pointed at the side door again.

Over there stood Maxwell, who didn’t know who he was talking to.

It was Roxanne.

Even if she wore regular clothes, you could still tell it was her.

Stephanie sneered inwardly. Maxwell, who had just acted tough and refused to take Roxanne’s call in front of her, now actually brought her

Over

“Stephanie, Max didn’t love you anymore a long time ago,” Estrella said. “Your good days in the Humphrey family were almost over, too.”

“Did you want to wait until Roxanne died, and then keep pretending nothing happened and go on being your Mrs. Humphrey?”

“I told you, impossible.”

Estrella’s voice came, but Stephanie didn’t look away. She saw Maxwell walk up to Roxanne and look down to check something on Roxanne’s side.

Under the dim light, they were really close.

“Could you see it clearly enough?”

Estrella said, “I worked with Roxanne, I wanted to win over the old team from the Shelton Group who stayed at the Humphrey Group, piece of cake.”

Stephanie looked away and saw the smile on Estrella’s face. Estrella said, “Besides, the Shelton Group’s glory days were when Elliot was still around. Now, it’s nothing.”

Looking at Stephanie’s eyes, Estrella laughed even harder.

“What did it feel like?”

“Hate me?”

There was something else mixed in Estrella’s smile, which made her

look a bit sad.

“Stephanie, did you know, I hated you even more.”

“Didn’t you win the bet against him?”

There was a hint of suppressed ruthlessness in Estrella’s voice: “Then let’s bet too. If you win, I won’t touch the old members of the Shelton Group. If you lose, you have two choices–either I take in the old members of the Shelton Group, or you tell me what really happened in Groena back then.”

Estrella shook the glass in her hand, “Let’s bet on this Steph drink, see it? Over there, among all those glasses, I bet you can’t find this one.”

Stephanie looked at Estrella.

Suddenly felt a bit sad.

“You’re not the Estrella I knew,” Stephanie said.

That proud and dignified Ms. Humphrey wasn’t the kind of person who used dirty tricks to force others.

What exactly happened over these years that made her change so much?

“What, not daring to bet?” On the other side, Estrella looked tough but was actually nervous.

But Stephanie just laughed.

“The vineyard in the southwest of Groena.”

घर

“Vincent’s private winery made wine that tasted smooth and wonderful, full of fruity aroma.”

“Four years ago he made it himself, red wine, the color was ruby red.”

Watching the smile slowly fade from Estrella’s face, Stephanie said, “What you brought back is a private collection. Vincent’s winery wouldn’t have really bad wine. This is your welcome–back party, it marks you officially joining the Haraville social circle, and later people will find out that what you brought this time is Vincent’s private collection, so you wouldn’t fake it.”

“Estrella, do you want me to keep going?”

Watching Estrella stand still, Stephanie slowly walked to the long table, carefully compared, then picked one of the cups, took a small sip, and brought it back.

Right hand lifted a bit, and this glass of wine sparkled like a gem under the light.

There was a number 214 engraved at the bottom of the cup just for this wine tasting guessing game.

The right answer was already written and put on the table, it just hadn’t been revealed yet.

Stephanie just quietly looked at Estrella like that.

After she got Estrella’s message, she thought about what Estrella would do.

Wine tasting event, the theme was wine.

The introduction meeting was about making an appearance and getting into social circles.
