Chapter 2331 Stella hesitated briefly, then Keegan whispered something in her ear, and she didn't object anymore.
When Felicity faced difficulties in Rivera, Stella provided considerable help. Florence, Felicity's mother, always remembered this act of kindness. So, when Felicity requested funds to assist with Rainee Spade's medical expenses, Florence promptly transferred a million without hesitation.

Florence was loyal and principled, but she was also a savvy businesswoman. She would quickly deduce the origin of these orders and understand that her daughter's friend, from a prominent family in Rivera, was quietly supporting her business. She wouldn't hesitate to return the favor, nurturing a mutually beneficial relationship. It also boosted her daughter's reputation, which was an added bonus.

Vermont quipped jealously, "Ah, making money is nothing compared to marrying into wealth. Why don't I have such luck?" Felicity glanced at him, saying, "Should I leave then?"

Stella smiled softly and said, "I originally ordered you a pair of cufflinks, but I figured N m you wouldn't wear them much since you're not fond of suits. So, I prepared something else." She pointed to a red cloth-covered item and whispered to Keegan, "Lift the cover and see. I hope you like it." Encouraged by Stella's expression, Keegan approached and unveiled the red cloth.
