Sumr heard this and suddenly felt that Damian Knight seed to have been planning the marriage for a long ti.
But... he didn’t have that kind of interest in her, right? There was no need for him to have planned it for so long, was there? She must have been overthinking it.
Damian Knight continued speaking, "Now, how about you? Let’s go back together and get your household registration book. I’m sure your father won’t refuse."
Sumr let out a bitter laugh and said, "He’s already sent to your bed; how could he possibly refuse?"
"Then let’s go." Damian Knight said, stepping outside.
He was moving so fast, he seed to wish he could get to the Civil Affairs Bureau in the next mont.
Sumr hurriedly put down her chopsticks and followed him.
Now was indeed the best ti to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau; once Stella Monroe returned, she would definitely be shocked.
Just thinking of the expression that might appear on Stella Monroe’s face, Sumr herself couldn’t wait.
Sumr went back to Stanton Manor to get the household registration book.
At the temple.
Stella Monroe finally managed to slip away from Audrey Stanton’s watchful eye to et Felix Jennings under the locust tree by the temple wall.
Felix Jennings had been waiting under the tree for a long ti. At first glance upon seeing Stella Monroe, he could hardly recognize her.
In just a few days, Stella Monroe was so thin she was almost unrecognizable. Because of long hours working under the sun, her skin was far less fair than before.
Without any costic treatnts, her skin had lost its previous firmness, making her look as if she’d suddenly aged ten years.
Felix Jennings, who was originally five years younger than Stella Monroe, was montarily stunned.
Was this still the goddess Stella Monroe he had in his heart?
Stella Monroe, afraid Audrey Stanton would suddenly wake up, hurried her steps and didn’t notice the strange expression on Felix Jennings’s face. She imdiately asked, "How did it go? Has Sumr already lost her reputation?"
Only then did Felix Jennings co back to his senses. He shook his head and said, "No."
"What?!" Stella Monroe’s voice instantly rose a few pitches. She frowned and asked, "What do you an ’no’? Didn’t you say it was foolproof?"
Felix Jennings sighed and said, "The plan was foolproof, but Coralie Hughes ssed it up. For so reason, when I received the news, it turned out that the one who ended up sleeping with Mason Monroe wasn’t Sumr, but Coralie Hughes herself. Now Coralie’s dad is forcing her to marry Mason Monroe."
Stella Monroe’s steps faltered for a mont, and if Felix Jennings hadn’t reacted quickly to support her, she wouldn’t have been able to stand steadily.
After a while, Stella Monroe found her voice and angrily cursed, "Coralie Hughes, that useless, good-for-nothing fool! Such a perfect plan, and she couldn’t even carry it out! Idiot! She’s a complete pig!"
"Calm down," Felix Jennings consoled. "This opportunity is gone, but we have the next one. I refuse to believe I can’t handle a little girl. If it’s necessary, I’ll just hire soone to take care of her sowhere."
Stella Monroe only regretted choosing the wrong partner.
She shouldn’t have chosen to cooperate with an idiot like Coralie Hughes.
Felix Jennings thought of Clarissa Stanton and said, "There’s one more thing, I didn’t tell you. Coralie Hughes took it upon herself to get a black evening dress for Sumr, but sohow, the dress ended up on Clarissa. She almost drove Evan Hughes to the point of fainting, and it was only Sumr who saved him... However, for a long ti, Clarissa’s reputation might not be any good."
Since Henry Stanton was still keeping Clarissa Stanton’s death a secret from outsiders, Felix Jennings didn’t know that Clarissa Stanton had already died.
