Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 423:

Carson laughed and began to rub Violet's head. “Alright, | will serve you all the time. How about you serve me

when | am old?”

Violet was moved by Carson’s words. Imagining them leaning against each other in their old age, she couldn't

help but respond with red eyes, “You have to keep your word. Just don’t complain when the tcomes that |

have to serve you.”

“Haha, then can you servenow?” Looking at Violet's expression, Carson couldn't resist teasing her.

“Hey!” Violet was taken aback by Carson’s sudden change of mind.

When she realized it, her face flushed with anger. She shouted at Carson, “Dream on! You have to servefirst.

Hurry up; I'm hungry. Ordersomething!”

RK told Stella that he wanted to invite her to the Duke’s Mansion for dinner that night. However, every word he

spoke indicated that he wouldn't allow Stella to refuse. She had no choice but to agree. RK arranged for dinner at

a restaurant that was said to have once been the mansion of a high-ranking official.

The mansion had endured much over the centuries, but the family who owned it was gradually declining. In this

generation, they had no choice but to sell their properties, which were then purchased at a high price by the

current owner.

After renovations, they opened the doors to welcguests, and many dignitaries and high-ranking officials

frequently visited. It had clearly beca prlocation for people in the city to spend extravagantly.

The patrons of the Duke’s Mansion were all individuals of good taste. When Stella arrived by taxi, the ordinary

clothes of the people contrasted starkly with the luxurious decor of the mansion.

Stella encouraged herself. “It’s just a meal. It’s not a big deal. Will RK eatup?” With that thought in mind, she

walked up the stone steps.

As Stella approached the door, just as she was about to sneak in with her bag, the doorman politely stopped her

and said, “Miss, only distinguished guests are allowed to enter.” The doorman’s words were so courteous that no

one could find fault with them. However, it was clear that he looked down on Stella.

Accustomed to seeing wealthy patrons, the doorman had a discerning eye. He could tell the price of the clothes

someone was wearing at a glance. If the price was too low, he naturally would not let them in.

If someone were allowed to enter so casually, it would inevitably draw laughter at a place like the Duke's

Mansion.

Stella took a deep breath. She was not oblivious to how others perceived her. The doorman’s disdainful look

made it difficult for her to ignore him.

If she could help it, why would she even consider coming to such a place? It was hard for her to even afford a

cup of tea there. Standing there, she felt humiliated by the doorman for no reason.

Stella forced an awkward smile at him before turning to leave.

RK walked out of the revolving door right on time. He glanced at the doorman and saw Stella, who was about to

leave in embarrassment. RK could roughly guess what had transpired.

The doorman’s expression changed tically upon noticing RK. He nodded and bowed. “Mr. Kingston.”

RK felt even more disgusted by the doorman’s reaction. He smiled at Stella, who was standing beside him, and

asked knowingly, “Why don’t you go in?”

Stella responded sarcastically, showing no respect for RK as she stated the facts, “Someone stoppedfrom

going in.”

“Oh? Who is it? Ask him to call the lobby manager over.” Stella was a bit impatient, but unable to decipher RK’s

intentions, she obediently cooperated. She casually pointed at the doorman. “Did you hear that? Why don’t you

call the lobby manager over?”

The doorman was taken aback by their conversation. It was clear that the woman was close to RK. RK had

always been surrounded by attractive women...

The doorman had heard that RK was very generous to women. Why was this woman so special?

With a bitter expression on his face, the doorman reluctantly made a beeline for the lobby manager. If RK

complained about him, he would have a hard tin the Duke's Mansion moving forward.

The doorman approached the lobby manager but did not take the matter seriously at all; instead, he flirted with

the waitress. When the lobby manager heard that it was RK who was standing at the entrance and was unhappy

because the doorman had stopped a woman dressed in plain clothes, his expression turned cold. He glared at

the doorman.

The lobby manager's heart raced with fear. He patted the doorman’s head, pointed at him, and was so furious

that he struggled to speak. He stomped his feet and rushed to the entrance.

The doorman followed behind, feeling wronged. He had merely acted according to the arrangements, faithfully

and responsibly. Did he do anything wrong? It was evident that the doorman did not grasp the seriousness of the

situation.

The lobby manager reached the door, out of breath, and bowed repeatedly to apologize. The doorman stood

beside him, looking around furtively.

RK’s face was expressionless, making it impossible for the lobby manager to gauge the extent of RK’s

dissatisfaction. Then he glanced at Stella, who was bored and looking at the building in front of her, showing no

interest in him.

Next, he looked at the doorman. The doorman remained standing there. Disappointed, the lobby manager kicked

the doorman’s butt, causing the latter to cry out in pain.
