Stella Carter, the number one socialite of Gortian, had fallen hopelessly in love with a motorcycle-riding bad boy. For him, Stella had done countless foolish things. Arthur Scott loved skydiving, so she conquered her fear of heights to jump with him. Arthur complimented her on how beautiful she looked in high heels, so she wore them every single time they met. Arthur claimed he was not good enough for her and asked Stella to wait for him a few more years. She waited until she was twenty-nine, turning down every eligible bachelor in Gortian. In the fifth year of their relationship, fed up with her family's constant pressure to marry, she bought a bottle of red wine and drove to see Arthur. As soon as she parked her car, she heard the deafening roar of motorcycles revving nearby. It was Arthur and his friends. Stella was about to get out and greet them when one of the men pulled off his helmet, grinned, and clapped Arthur on the shoulder. "Arthur, how much longer do you plan on playing this game? Aren't you afraid that once Stella finds out you're actually the second son of the Scott family in Jinlarwan, she'll cling to you and beg to marry you?" "So what if she finds out? Arthur never loves her. Why would he ever marry her? Besides, Arthur can't stand the sight of her, let alone marry her. That's why he personally handed her over to Elijah's bed." "Arthur, you really let her go? Stella's got a smoking-hot body. She kept herself pure for years just for you, and you turned around and sent her straight to Elijah's bed. He got a freebie." Arthur flashed a reckless grin, but his tipsy eyes were icy cold. "Heh, I don't even like her. Sleep with her? Please, she's filthy. I'd feel disgusted." Stella's mind went completely blank. A sharp, piercing ringing exploded in her ears. Arthur sneered, "It's all her fault. Back then, she kept calling Margaret the mistress's daughter, forcing her and her mother abroad with nothing. She even bragged that as long as she was in Gortian, they'd never be allowed to come home for the rest of their lives." Another guy laughed, "Yeah, she was arrogant. But she's also incredibly stupid. She has no idea that every time you asked us to cover for you, you were actually with Margaret. "You even secretly took dozens of Gortian's private photos, waiting for the Carter family's shareholders' meeting in a month to ruin her reputation completely."
