At first, Stella did not know that Darcie was going to meet Grace.

However, before going to bed last night, Olivia called her and talked to her about this.

Of course, Darcie was not going to give up on such a big client like Grace just like that.

She had asked Jessie Keller, also known as Mrs. Depp, to persuade Grace to meet her. Jessie was Grace's good friend; her eldest daughter's wedding was also held at a venue owned by Olivia.

Olivia was everyone's friend and particularly good at business. She decorated the wedding venue exceptionally well, which gave her something to brag about among her friends.

Later on, Jessie also organized her grandson's birthday, company teambuilding activities, and family reunions at Olivia's properties. So, they became closer to each other over time.

If Darcie were to call Jessie directly and ask for her help, Jessie would not necessarily be willing to intervene because she had proposed a marriage between her youngest son and Jaylene before, but Darcie rejected it.

However, she did not outright refuse it. She politely said that times were changing and that they should respect the youngster's opinions on who they wanted to be with.

So, Jessie had no choice but to give up the idea. However, a few days later, Darcie took Jaylene to meet Keegan for a blind date.

Jessie held a grudge in her heart, always feeling that Darcie looked down on the Depp family's status and felt that they were not good enough for the Saun family.

However, Jessie's son, Aaron, was very stubborn and only wanted to marry Jaylene, no matter how many blind dates Jessie had set him up with. They had known each other since they studied abroad. He had been pursuing Jaylene for several years without success.

Although Jaylene did not want to date him, she treated him as a good friend and always invited him to social gatherings and even balls.

It was not until she returned to Hustuabourg that she started to distance herself from Aaron.

Stella figured that Jaylene was probably just keeping her distance from her plaything because she was now closer to her main target.

However, Aaron was deeply in love with Jaylene and wanted to be with nobody else. Although he kept complaining about it at home, Jessie still treated him like a treasure and spoiled him because he was her youngest son, whom she had when she was forty.

Darcie was very smart. She was aware that Jessie might have held a grudge against her for turning her proposal down, so she called Aaron and asked him to pass the phone on to Jessie.

She first mentioned Grace, telling Jessie she made a mistake and upset her.

Then, she asked Jessie if she could talk to Grace and let them meet each other so she could apologize to her.

She also mentioned that she wanted to use this opportunity to introduce their two children to each other formally. She said that Jaylene and Aaron had known each other for a long time. If they could hit it off, he would be the person she trusted most around Jaylene.

Aaron could not resist such a tempting offer, so he immediately insisted that Jessie agree.

Jessie could not bear to disappoint her precious child, so she did as Darcie asked.

Although Jessie agreed to help, she still resented Darcie for her previous rejection and for stringing her son with Jaylene for so many years. She felt very irritated by it, so she expressed her frustration to Olivia Olivia consoled Jessie for a long time. As soon as the call ended, she told Stella about it.

She was unaware of what happened to Grace at Caline and simply wanted to vent to Stella about Darcie and Jaylene.

So, she would use something to hold over them and use her status as Mrs.

Saun to oppress them.

Olivia was just casually chatting with Stella about it, but Stella remembered every word she said.

It turned out that she was a player, always keeping someone on the hook.

Darcie wanted to apologize to Grace, hoping to win her back as a client, but how could Stella let her have her way? Thinking about what would happen next, Stella could not help but smirk.

When Wenham noticed that smile, he shivered and asked, "M-My dear daughter, would you not smile like that?"
