The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118

In short, she was really annoyed with Stephanic, who took over the Humphrey family’s honor.

“Bro, just let sis–in–law tell me.” Estrella said to Maxwell, acting cute.

Then, she looked at Stephanie again: “Sister–in–law, did you hear? Mr. Welch was coming to Haraville soon.”

Estrella paused a bit, and the curiosity in her eyes got deeper.

“Sis–in–law, did you guys still have to meet up with all those rumors going around?”

“That’s enough.” Maxwell frowned a little. “We don’t need to talk about this anymore. I know what happened. Stephanie had nothing to do with him.”

“Bro!” Estrella looked at Maxwell with dissatisfaction.

Raul, who just got roasted, didn’t say anything either, just smiled and watched them.

The Humphrey family was a big family.

The family started getting rich from Leonard’s generation, and after that, he had a lot of kids.

There were quite a few people who came this time.

Maxwell and Stephanie had always been the focus of the family, and since they had stayed here for quite a while, everyone slowly came

over.

It was just that all the people who came were the younger ones, some were direct relatives, some were from side branches.

The older generation all tacitly didn’t get involved, looking like they were just drinking tea, playing chess, and chatting on the third floor.

But Stephanie knew.

This meal definitely wasn’t out of kindness, it was for sure a trap.

Because she had one more kid, both Estrella’s pressing and Raul’s stirring things up were all the older generation’s indulgence, even hints or signals.

“Maxwell.”

“sister–in–law.”

“Max, sister–in–law, good evening!”

A few people came over here, all from this generation. Some were cousins from the same family, some were cousins from different families.

Some of them were already married, and even brought their partners.

Stephanie saw someone coming over, so she said, “Actually, what happened back then was pretty simple.”

“Just like Estrella said, the Humphrey Group had a tech breakthrough first, then went for the contract, because there were some things they had to get from over there, and some orders had to go through them.”

“Basically, it broke through the tech blockade.”

“As for the bet,” Stephanie lowered her eyes a little and said, “yeah, there was one, but that was just their personal thing. It didn’t affect the

outcome of the cooperation.”

Maxwell looked down at Stephanic.

That year in Groena, what exactly Stephanic and that person talked about in those ten–something minutes when he was sent away, and what specific things they agreed on, he never knew.

He just went to check the contract, and when he came back, he saw her jump into the icy water.

That pool of cold water, her blood, and the child they lost were a pain in their hearts forever.

Many years later, they never brought up what happened that day again.

He also never wanted to see her cry like that again.

“That’s it?” Estrella still wasn’t satisfied.

“That’s it.” Before Stephanie could say anything, Maxwell already said, “Estrella, she’s not the kind of person you think she is.”

Then, he held Stephanie’s hand and left here.

Estrella stood there with her fists clenched.

Raul on the side smiled and shook his glass.

“Angry?” Raul said with a smile. “Weren’t you always pretty close with Max? You knew he liked Stephanie, but you still made him choose. Oh wow, got burned, huh.”

Estrella glared at Raul: “None of your business!”

Stephanie, who had just left, was thinking about what Estrella said and what she did.
