Stella Grace felt uncomfortable upon hearing Frederick's unfriendly tone. She then smiled, "My presence here doesn't have anything to do with you, does it?"
Frederick Addington suddenly realized that he might have come off as rude. "I was just curious. After all, you don't seem like a person who likes to be in this kind of occasion, Miss Wheeler."
"You don't know me well enough. How would you know whether I like it or not?" Stella retorted.
The atmosphere between the two of them was filled with hostility.
"Master Addington, do you know each other?" someone asked.
Frederick shrugged his shoulders. "Sort of."
He looked at Jasper Milton and said, "When I heard that you were here, I came here to propose a toast. Director Milton, you must have had a lot of trouble recently, right?"
"It has nothing to do with you," Jasper said coldly.
