Chapter 222
"No!" Stephany clenched her fists. She could not remain calm and rational now. "Mr. Lucero, have you
forgotten that you said you would give me a birthday surprise..."
Kenneth's handsome face was calm and indifferent. "Isn't this a birthday surprise?"
Stephany suddenly forgot to breathe. She thought, "I finally understand what Kenneth means by a
'birthday surprise' for me. It was all a conspiracy. It was a scheme from my mistaking the housekeeper
for Arabella's husband to Arabella's pretending to break up with Kenneth, which was to slap me in the
face at my birthday party.
Many people know that. Jared, Randall, Aurora...I even said a lot of despised words about the Floweret
Garden in front of them in One Night. They must have been laughing at me at that time.
I'm a fool!"
Stephany had loved to compete with Arabella since she was a child. She was vain and had high self-
esteem. Now she thought she was a big joke.
The reason was that she had been humiliated too hard by Kenneth and Arabella.
Stephany still didn't want to believe it. She kept shaking her head. "I still don't believe it. Kenneth, you
didn't marry Arabella, did you? Arabella, why do you always rob everything from me? You know how
much I like Kenneth. My goal is to marry him. How could you become his wife?" complained Stephany
at the top of her voice as she looked at Arabella.
At that moment, Arabella really felt Stephany's love for and obsession with Kenneth, for Stephany, a
person who had been so fond of disguising herself, was now slowly breaking down and showing a
ferocious look.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Arabella looked at Stephany with her bright eyes and said, "Stephany, don't you know how I became
Mrs. Lucero? I didn't steal it, but you gave it to me. I replaced you to marry into the Floweret Garden. At
first, the position of Mrs. Lucero was yours. You might have been Mrs. Lucero, but you didn't want it
back then."
Hearing this, Stephany was stunned for a moment.
She felt as if she had been struck by thunder, and she froze on the spot. However, she couldn't retort,
for it was true that Arabella had taken her place and married into the Floweret Garden.
Arabella's words kept echoing in Stephany's ears like a magic spell. She couldn't help but think, "I
could have married into the Floweret Garden and could have become Mrs. Lucero. God, what have I
lost?"
Stephany's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed on the carpet. Fortunately, Caitlin came forward
quickly and helped her.
Caitlin looked at Kenneth with embarrassment and flattery. "Mr. Lucero, don't be fooled by Arabella's
pure appearance. In fact, she is very good at seducing..."
"Mrs. Snyder, I know better than anyone what kind of person my wife is. I hope you can be cautious in
your words and deeds. I am a mean man, and I won't spare anyone who hurts the people I care about.
Therefore, you'd better watch your mouth, or something bad may happen to you!" Kenneth directly
interrupted Caitlin as he looked at her fiercely and coldly.
Being stared at by Kenneth, Caitlin felt frightened. She hated Arabella so much that she even pinched
her nails into her palms. However, she could only comfort Stephany for now, "Stephany, don't be sad..."
Stephany looked at Caitlin with red eyes. "Mom..."
"Stephany, I really want to thank your mother. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have married Kenneth.
Without her, you would have been Mrs. Lucero instead of me. She gave me everything you dreamed
of. I even suspect that she really loves me," said Arabella with a smile.
When Caitlin heard this, her face changed greatly. "Arabella, you! Stephany, don't listen to her
provocation. I didn't know this at first..."
Although her words were true, Stephany still felt angry. She immediately pushed Caitlin away, unwilling
to look at her again.
Stephany was Caitlin's favorite and proudest daughter. Now being pushed away by her, Caitlin felt very
sad and wronged. She immediately looked over at Seth. "Seth, I..."
Seth finally understood what was going on. His proudest daughter, Stephany, was unlikely to marry
Kenneth, and his dream of becoming Kenneth's father-in-law was shattered, for Mrs. Lucero was now
Arabella, whom he disliked the most.
