The two men hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Jasper.
"And you are...?"
Jasper answered them in flawless German, "She and | go way back. If you want
to ask her anything, you can talk toI'll translate for you."
One of the men glanced uncertainly at Stella. "You're saying she doesn't understand German?"
Jasper replied, "That's right. She barely finished high school and can hardly manage a conversation in English, let
alone German.
Didn't you notice? No matter what you said to her, she just ignored you. That's because she couldn't understand
a word.
Even at this year's music symposium, she only got in because of sman who pulled strings for her."
The two men exchanged a glance, a flicker of excitement lighting up their eyes. "Sman? So she's here at Mr.
Walden's music symposium because..."

Jasper nodded, lowering his voice conspiratorially. "Exactly. She's here to find herself a sugar daddy. Her last one
ditched her, so now she's desperate for the next."
After hearing this, the men's gazes turned lecherous as they looked at Stella. One of them leaned toward Jasper
and said in German, "Ask her for me-how much does she charge?"
Turning away from them, Jasper raised his voice, making sure everyone nearby could hear. "Since you can't
speak German and your education doesn't quite measure up, | can be generous and translate for you."
He plastered on a theatrical smile and said to Stella in English, "They're just saying how beautiful you are. Aren't
you going to thank them?"
Stella looked at Jasper as if he was nothing more than a ridiculous sideshow clown.
The two men, though speaking in German, understood enough English to catch Jasper's so-called "translation."
They exchanged mocking grins.
One of them sneered, "Seems like Mr. Walden's standards for this event have really dropped. Even pretty little
ornaments like her can sneak in for a bit of reflected glory."
Jasper leered at Stella. "This gentleman here is wondering if you'd like to... discuss the meaning of life with him
later."
People nearby, realizing Stella didn't understand a word of German, looked at her in open astonishment.
After all, Mr. Walden himself was German.
Although Mr. Walden was fluent in several languages, this was his event; speaking German was a sign of respect.
The fact that Stella didn't even know the basics-how had she managed to get in at all?
Many here were polyglots, with advanced degrees and impeccable manners.
Now, every mocking and disdainful eye in the room landed on Stella.
Conversations about her, all in German and spoken loudly with no attempt at discretion, buzzed through the air.
After all, she couldn't understand them-so why bother whispering?
Stella glanced at Jasper, then at the two foreign men.

She turned, her voice icily calm, and spoke in flawless French. "A sugar
daddy? Really? Then why you
tell everyone, right now, exactly who my last sugar daddy was?
Her expression chilled as she fixed Jasper with a cold stare.
"Jasper, unless you can provide evidence in front of everyone here, I'll sue you for slander and defamation."
Jasper's mouth opened, as if to protest, but Stella cut him off.
She pulled out her phone. "Every one of your insults-I recorded them all. If you don't want to spend the night
answering questions at the police station, everyone who slanderedhere needs to apologize immediately.
Otherwise, I'll press charges to the full extent of the law."

She delivered this last statement in crisp, precise German.
The two men gaped at her, stunned.
"She... she speaks German?!"
"What the hell? Didn't you say she didn't know a single foreign language?!"
