Perla had also come to attend the event as Stafford Group’s chairman.
Stafford Group had never been qualified to attend Toville’s largest charity gala held by the Garner Group once a year. This year, Stella had personally invited Perla, saying that since they were in a partnership. Stella would give Perla as many opportunities as she could.
Of course, Perla was overjoyed and deliberately showed off in front of the rest of the Stafford family.
Perla no longer lived in the Stafford family’s villa. She had bought an even more luxurious villa on her
own.
Mila had come to look for Perla in private, saying she was very happy for Perla and that they could finally hold their heads high in the Stafford family. Mila had also told Perla that Cohen had not allowed Nadia to leave the villa and that Nadia was in a sorry state. Mila praised Perla relentlessly, saying all kinds of nice things, but Perla knew that Mila just wanted to curry favor with her so Mila could share the Stafford family’s wealth with her.
Perla was not someone to be trifled with either. Perla had grown up with Mila, so Perla knew what Mila was thinking. Of course, Perla knew Mila’s motive was to please her first before slowly taking Stafford Group shares from her. In the end, all of that would become Samuel’s shares.
Perla did not show any mercy to Mila and directly kicked her out, although Mila had turned hostile and scolded her.
Perla would not let anyone take away her money or Stafford Group shares.
At this moment, Perla was walking down the red carpet of the Garner Group’s charity gala. Perla had dressed up meticulously, wanting to take the opportunity to show off at such a grand gala.
However, even though Perla deliberately slowed down as she walked, unexpectedly, no reporters called out to her or looked at her. Perla had caused a stir in the business world after taking over Stafford Group some time ago. After she had taken over, she hadn’t been interviewed by the reporters directly, so before coming, she had already thought of how she should handle the reporters.
Yet, no one was paying any attention to Perla.
Perla was walking very slowly and slightly swayed her body as she walked to attract attention, but no one wanted to interview her.
Just as Perla thought that the reporters from Toville might be more aloof, she suddenly saw the reporters in the outer area get excited and start moving.
Perla turned around and saw Gideon and Kylie getting out of a black car. They seemed to have become the focus of the entire red carpet, and everyone was looking at them. The reporters were so enthusiastic that Perla thought she might be hallucinating.
Perla felt very upset but tried to console herself that the reporters were only enthusiastic because of Gideon.
After all, the Garner family’s status was different. In addition, this was the Garner family’s home ground.

Of course, they would have more respect for them.

At that moment, Perla heard countless reporters trying to interview Kylie.
All the questions had nothing to do with the Garner family.
The jealousy in Perla’s eyes was undisguised.
“What right does Kylie have to show off in front of me?’ Perla thought. After the attitude she had received from the reporters, Perla felt like Kylie was stepping all over her.
What was worse, Perla could not accept how Kylie had managed to hook up with Gideon.
Just because Ethan and Stella are together, she changed targets? Why does Kylie have everything so easy? First, it was Sergio, then Ethan, and now Gideon. Each of them was more distinguished than the other!” Perla thought.
Perla suppressed her anger and could only enter the banquet hall dejectedly as no one was paying attention to her.
At this time, Kylie suddenly tripped and Gideon reached out to support her.
Their intimate actions were also captured by the reporters and media.
At that moment a reporter from behind suddenly shouted, “Mr. Hayden and Miss Garner are here!”
The interview was over.
All the reporters also swarmed over toward Ethan and Stella.
Gideon asked Kylie in a low voice, “Are you okay? Can you still walk?”
“I’m fine.” Kylie moved her ankle.
It hurt a little, but Kylie felt that it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
“Don’t push yourself,” Gideon told Kylie.
“I’m not,” Kylie said firmly.
“Okay.” Gideon shrugged and did not say much.
Kylie took Gideon’s hand again and walked into the banquet hall.
Behind them, Ethan and Stella had naturally seen them, as well as the intimate interaction between them.
“I didn’t expect my cousin to be so close to Kylie,” Stella said casually.
Ethan did not react.
It was as if he didn’t care. Or rather, Ethan didn’t want to show it before Stella.
Stella suppressed the emotions in her heart.

After all, Stella and Ethan were going to announce their wedding date publicly tonight.
This month, because of her grandfather’s determination, Ethan had been kept in Toville to handle some business matters for the Garner family.
To outsiders, their marriage was already set in stone.
Ethan did not and could not resist either.
Of course, part of the reason why Ethan did not reject the wedding date announcement was that Stella had also promised Ethan that even if they got married, it was just a business marriage, and she would not cross the line.
However, the Garner family’s internal conflict was rising. As long as Ethan could help their family tide over the difficulties and achieve their goals, Stella had promised she would ask her grandfather to agree to a secret divorce and not to pester him after that.
Stella did not know how much Ethan believed her. In any case, he did not raise any objections and silently. accepted everything.
To Stella, it didn’t matter whether Ethan believed her or not. Her goal was to p Ethan to marry her. After marriage, with the status of the two families, Stella was sure they would not get divorced.
Step by step, Stella would make Ethan jump into the trap she had set up and bury him deeper.
“Mr. Hayden, I heard you’ve been staying in Toville with Miss Garner during this period. Does this mean that something good is about to happen for the both of you?” one of the reporters asked.
“Mr. Hayden, I heard that you have joined the Garner Group to help Miss Garner manage the Garner Group. After you get married, will you give up Beliey’s Hayden Group and focus on Garner Group for Miss Garner?”
“Miss Garner, everyone says that Mr. Hayden’s son, Joseph Hayden, is your biological son. Is that true? You were childhood sweethearts. When did you develop feelings for each other?”
The reporters had a lot of questions.
Ethan did not answer any of them.
Stella had a better temperament. Stella said gently, “Ethan has been in Toville during this period because the Garner Group encountered a tricky matter, and we needed Ethan’s help. In the future, when we get married, we will focus on our respective careers. We haven’t decided if we will settle in Toville or Beliey.
“Jos… Joseph Hayden, who you mentioned, has always been my son. When we were overseas, he grew up with me. He’s still young, so the most important thing now is his growth and studies. I I sincerely hope everyone won’t disturb the child, let alone use him as a news article. Thank you.”
Regarding Jos’ background, Stella deliberately made it ambiguous, leading the outside world to misunderstand that Joseph was her biological son.
